[QUOTE="trialsmasta, post: 708529, member: 41950"] Ahhhh creep. I should have thought about that. I had a problem like that when I had to design a polycarbonate and acrylic floor tile. There was a big difference between the yield strength that you could use for statically loaded (crap sitting on it for ever) and live loads (people walking etc.). I guess once you preload your spring it’s life it terminally doomed. What kind of stresses are we talking about that will put a permanent set on a spring? Is that the reason why people buy those plastic do-hickys to put on your forks while you transport your bike? I always thought those where so you didn’t cause fork seal leaks. Any hoo I never used them cause I thought they were a waste [/QUOTE]
