    do you have any idea what it would take/cost/involve to get someone to copy a Speedplay C-spring?

    Take one to a spring manufacturer, they have all the experience in analysing samples and making copies. Not something I've ever got around to pricing up, but be warned that spring making is nearly all tooling and set up, so the first one might cost £500 and the next thousand 10p each.

  • X type or Zero? The X looks like a piece of bent wire, which a spring shop could replicate quite easily. The Zero seems to be a relatively complex stamping, which will be much more expensive for item one, but still only pennies per unit once you get into making thousands.
