Nope, they're the same. And the suds on this bike are Diacompe. Phil Brown >>

Hmmm. How does that work?

Aren't the springs on the DiaCompe & Weinmann differently arranged? The Mafacs have a spring that sticks in a hole but the Weinmann / DiaCompe have springs that are in a different plane, sideways, so to speak.. Seems like it would use a different piece.. Or do the springs get replaced?
