But we all know if you buy a few and reverse R&D they are easy to make.
The folks that are really worried are the Sein and Wevo builders. This spring is truly a cost free fix to a sloppy 915.

Sir, as you allegedly have Herr Karsten's ear please let him know he has customers for his wonderful product - I have bought two.
To be sure, the $50 spring was far more friendly to the wallet than the $800 "solution" shifters, but surely those mfgs didn't stick a dead horse head in Karsten's trunk?
If you leave a vacuum, don't be surprised if someone else fills it. It is pretty clear in the timeline of this thread that no one spent any time reverse engineering this product until long after it was obvious that no more were going to be delivered, even to those that had paid, but not yet received.
Hope Mr. K is doing well.
