I asked for a rate of 5kg/cm. The original springs didn't have quite enough turns though, so unfortunately they do reach critical deformation at just before full compression. They are 20mm long and have a travel length of 1.4cm. Some of the very early Cascades shipped with the old White Water springs.
1 full turn of M4 thread has a travel of 0.8mm, so you can work out the pressure being applied fairly easily.
With the newer Cascade springs the rate is 6kg/cm. The wire used is thicker and with more turns so that deformation is not reached even at full compression. They are 24mm long and have a travel length of 1.3cm.
If you want I can ship you some of the newer springs. I may have to ship you slightly longer bolts too because the P4 blocks with the old 20mm springs didn't have a lot of thread left over, and the 24mm long new springs will probably mean that you won't be able to fit the wingnut on easily.
