Has anyone snapped a linkage on their commencal.
Mine went a couple of weeks ago on a 20cm drop. Where's the best place to source a new one.
Been quoted 90 quid thus far - even more extortionate than their mech hangar prices! As the bike is 2 1/2 years old now sadly no warranty.

Try Real Cycles, very helpful - they send me a free linkage bolt when i bent mine. I think those linkage plates are expensive though so £90 could be right!
I cracked one on a 2005 Meta 5 - the linkage was machined then, they are forged now. The replacement was £100 and the cost of new bearings (which are worth replacing anyway).

Cheers for the feedback - real cycles it is then.
Thanks for the advice, I'll speak to Real.
do you have a friendly machine shop near you? take the broken bit down, i'm sure they would knock you up something if you dropped them a bottle of whiskey and £20
You might me lucky asking at your friendly local madison dealer: is a well known issue so Madison may replace them despite being out of warranty.
As has been said, newer ones supposedly stronger but £100 a pair: WTF?

At 100 smackeroonies it would be worth getting them machined - but will just bite the bullet and pay the rip off or it will never get sorted...
For something that has a known fault and was rectified then you would hope/expect the supplier to do something.
