Ok it's time for me to ask a stupid question as I have never seen why, but I have seen so many threads saying that Ox springs are pants and advising people not to use them. I personally have never had one but why are they slated so much?
As a layman I would have thought that a square section spring, when compressed, would be more effecient than a round section spring due to the flat surfaces, making it possible to use a shorter spring to make the same energy, thus meaning less preload and cocking effort. Would a square section spring be more prone to breaking?
Obviously my theory is incorrect otherwise the square section spring would be the way to go.
