The coils will nestle slightly at full compression, and there will be some rising rate.<br /><br />rdguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-47611665125982286362021-06-19T12:28:39.724-04:002021-06-19T12:28:39.724-04:00Maybe it's a design decision,to make a smaller...Maybe it's a design decision,to make a smaller package.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933411094836530958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2693775542020483450.post-36208724506881949002021-06-19T11:56:39.006-04:002021-06-19T11:56:39.006-04:00Forgive me my off-topic question, please. But what...Forgive me my off-topic question, please. But what's the functional difference between a barrel-shaped coil spring and a straight one? (Straight = same OD for its entire length.) I'm sure I have the issue of TCM or Classic Bike that explained it, but I'm too slothful to dig around for it; and my brain is rapidly becoming perfectly smooth, so the memory of what I learned has vanished.<br /><br />Does the extra spring steel make the spring stiffer? Softer? Is it a sort of rising-rate? Okay, I'm done guessing. Thanks.<br />ratsnoreply@blogger.com
