Looking for: Tektro R559 Spring

[Thomas Blak]

Shot in the dark, does anyone know if you can purchase a spring for the Tektro R559?  I have done my Google searches and came up empty handed. I will just purchase a new brake if I have to but I prefer to find the spring. My Sam Hillborne will thank you.

Thomas,

My Atlantis 2006 has Tektro Oryx cantilevers. I have broken 2 springs

already. I found in McMaster some torsion springs 9271k681 for right hand

and 9271k615 for left. They now cost about a dollar apiece. they come 6 in a bag.

They were put in service 8 years ago. No problems. Your springs might be

different.

I need some too.  I called Tektro.  They used to have a part# for the springs b/c this is a weak spot in the manufacturing process.  Look closely and you can see an indention which seems to be a weak.  I'm glad I'm not the only one having this issue.
