Thanks for the further ideas guys. I can measure the springs against each other in the vice with vernier callipers to compare if any are unequal. However I put the springs back in random order so I’d have had to be unlucky to get 2 bad ones together a 2nd time.

Basket isn’t that bad, maybe some starting of wear, but not bad at all. Bike hasn’t been mistreated, as I said the steels looked clean & the frictions un-worn. However it is the shock that grooves the basket I guess.

I’ll take it apart and tickle up every plate, though it seems weird that it would burr after 6 years use, I can imagine on a new part. If the master wasn’t returning then surely it would pump up like a brake, but this isn’t happening & I’ve tried the lever in several adjustments. I thought the shim idea was unlikely but I did anecdotally notice an improvement. As with all these things that isn’t scientific proof & some other change could have been the deciding factor.

Oh well I guess it’s coming apart again & I’ll retry the MTX.
