I agree that most dealers would not sell such an item once there had been a couple of failures, however, such a risky failure should be highlighted once it has shown itself. I have no doubt that any decent dealer would pull stock that they know could put their customers at such risk, just as Corrado has done.
Unfortunately, this is an issue that dealers would be unaware of until failures happen.

I'm only aware of MB, Tino and Frank Sanderson re-making quality links. Ask the seller the origin if you're concerned.
Lots of dealers still selling Schwalbe tyres [including VE] and stainless tubeless rims, just have a walk round Wicksteed or spend 5 minutes on Ebay. At least you can inspect the goods at Wicksteed and make a reasonably educated guess on the quality.

Anti dive set up locks the caliper plate to the forks and not the links so it doesn't matter which links you use. There's only one version unlike the none anti dive which is specific to either drum or disc links.Norrie Bodge wrote:wack 63 wrote: im also gonna go for the scoot-RS anti dive disc brake kit.
