Looking for freehub part...
This saturday while in the middle of a climb on some steep singletrack I suddenly was freewheeling forward. Turns out the freehub was spinning both ways and I had to walk back. When I removed the 9 speed freehub on my spinergy wheel it was quickly apparent what was wrong, a tiny circular spring that pushes the pawls out was broken in half. The closest thing I could find on park's site was a Bontrager style freehub:

Since everything else in there looks good I'm going to just replace the spring but I'm not sur where to get such a spring. Any suggestions would be appreciate.

Any old Shimano freehub contains a very similar spring...
