My original Venom Lazaglide 77 spring lasted 36 years before giving up the ghost.

As far as I'm aware, Steve used the same spec springs for V-Mach.

But I've just bought one of Steve's last stock of springs from Lyn Lewington and instantly noticed the springs are now wound the opposite way to what a Venom / V-Mach spring normally is. In every other respect, they seem the same spec.

When I asked Lyn about why the springs were not wound the way they normally were, Lyn said Steve had recently changed the spec.
