Seems like the company, MW Components is still in business.

Lighter than steel, easy to tune rate by disc addition/subtraction. 7 years after loading up the vanilla, still vaporware?

It appears that bike parts aren't their main business. However is you needed to order 10,000 springs made to order they might be the guys. I'm guessing they dabbled with the idea, never got anywhere with Fox or RockShox. Maybe the just need a sale rep willing take on the project.

No sideload. Yay.

Less travel. Boo.

The composite Bellville springs don't provide as much/enough deflection. They are better in other applications.
