Need Help With Spring in Front Derailleur!
I was cleaning/lubing my bike and looks like I found something to fix! I just don't know what it is though. Here is a photo...
It looks like the spring needs to be re-wrapped and locked in at the end of the wire(were the right angle is) to one of the many slots. any recommendations on what to do?

The FD's working in the pictured condition?
I'd try to put it back in its place, despite the generally good advice to let sleeping dogs lie.

Looks a bit flimsy for a FD spring. And possibly bent...
Most of them are brutally strong, and often a major PITA to hook up.
Of course, the FD won't work like this; you'll be able to shift into the big ring, but that's it.
