My 1982 Shimano 600 springs also still work as good as new.
However, I had failure in the past on cheapo road bikes, brake went
mushy and then ... plink ... tchingalingaling ... part of the
spring broke off. Not a big deal and it's usually even possible to
ride home.

Well sure, you can buy all sorts of sh** that will fail -- which is
different from a spring getting soft.


Snapping off or getting soft, either way it will have to be replaced.

So many imaginary hazards!


No hazard. Just fell off and I had to ride home with a brake sitting a
bit cattywompus.
