making springs?

Jim Smith 29 April 2005 20:43:07
 I have some old cantilever brakes I would like to use. Problem is,
the springs seem to be designed for a different mount. It seems like
it would be easy to just make some new springs, but maybe I am wrong.
What sort of wire should I use to make the new springs? Would steel
"piano wire," available in many sizes at hobby shops, work? I am
assuming there is no need for any sort of heat treatment, is that
correct?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you can cold-form the wire to the correct shape, it should serve as a
good spring, without heat treatment. Tis will require "overbending" it, to
compensate for springback.
