Rohloff Bayonet springs for 8273
The Rohloff Bayonet springs (8709) are the replacement pair of springs for the female bayonet connectors (8273) of a Speedhub 500/14 with internal gear mech.
Why replace the spring?
Keeps the joint locked. The spring engages the male tip when the connectors are joined. 
Cheaper than a new connector. Replace only the spring if the female connector itself is fine. 
Sold as a pair. One for each female connector.
Who is it for?
- Riders whose bayonet joint feels loose. A tired spring is a common reason.
- Touring riders. A tiny spare that weighs nothing.

Frequently asked questions
Does it fit the male connector?
No, the spring sits in the female connector.
Can I fit it myself?
Yes, it is a small part. When reconnecting the bayonet, reach beside the spring, not over it.
