Here's some Vietnamese ones that I have, the Black area in the broken part is a void in the casting. Thankfully this happened when I was fitting them into a set of forks and not on the road. Hopefully it's a one off but I won't be selling the rest of the ones I've got in stock, I'll take the financial hit.

I have some the same in the shed.
snaped when the hub was tightened,luckily not when the bike was driven.
I will only use genuine links now or MB.Its just not worth it to save a few quid.

Why not get damper studs welded to the drum links - I think Shocky on here does them (if Italian or Spanish) - and if you go with disc links won't you need original style disc brake? (opens up another can of worms....)Norrie Bodge wrote:Looking for new GP fork links !

If you've got original drum links get Shocky to weld them for dampers,
done a couple of sets for me,quick service and cracking job.
If you've got a drum brake you need drum links

Maybe the details of those to avoid should be posted in a warning section? That is not funny and could well happen to someone on the road.
