Default Replacing an elastomer spring?

Hi,

I have a very nice 10-year-old Proflex bike, still overall in good shape
except for the rear elastomer spring. It seems the company no longer
exists, so I am looking for alternatives, either buying such elastomer
springs from some other source, or using something else that works as
well. For the time being, I am actually using a stack of rubber gaskets,
but of course that does not work nearly as well as the real thing.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Ingo

Thanks a lot! I just looked it up on the Web, and it seems there is a
dealer near me.

Wonderful information!
