sachs vs ohlins

[d251man]

Do these springs interchange?

Will a sachs spring fit on an ohlins shock?

does anyone know this?

my searching says that the sachs spring will go on the ohlins, but the ohlins has a smaller ID so will NOT fit the sachs.

Correct, however personally I wouldn't put a sachs spring (or a KYB spring as these are often interchanged - KYB springs are a poofteenth larger ID then the Sachs) on the Ohlins as it may flop around. Doubt it will, but would you really want to risk it?
