Has some one  in the group the measurements for fork springs free length? I have a 35 mm set that needs new springs. One side is about an inch shorter than the other and the spring has seen better days.
Does Works Preformance,or Progressive carry springs for Pentons?

The free length is 18 and 1/8 inches. the diameter of the spring is 1.1 inches.
