Ball links!!

[stunks]

I guess we all know that the align ball links are not the best, so is there any other ball links out there that better than the align ones that would last longer and would hold better than the align ones. I never had any problem with the aligns really it's just that the worn so quickly and feels so soft!!

I've heard of people replacing them with Quick UK Rocket links not sure if the sizing is the same of the balls.

I use QuickUK ones on my Vision. This is a very small amount of slop once they're on, but they fit with a very satisfying click and take a lot of effort to remove, so you can trust they're not going to pop off.

You can use the quick uk ones, but as said there is some slop in them when using them on the align balls,
The quick uk ball links have a size of 4.76mm and the align ones have a size of 4.75mm, im pretty sure this is right, tht why there is a small amount of slop when using them!!!!

The good thing about Quk ones is that you can adjust them by half a turn if you're looking for a precision setup.

Ok looking at the balls now most of em are either M3 with a 5mm standoff or M3 with a 3mm standoff (measured from the centre of the ball to the bottom of the stand off)

I havnt owned a 700n yet so cannot say for sure but i think they will fit the 600!!!
