Title: Kadron Linkage
Post by: louisb on October 05, 2007, 14:43:04 pm
What linkage works well with Kadrons? I know Berg makes a good one. What else is out there? Anyone use the Scat Linkage?

Thanks,

Now thats what I call customer service. Just got off the phone with Gunter who called long distance to talk to me about the linkage. Looks like I will be going with a CSP one.

A mate of mine had no end of trouble with his - kept popping the ball joints off the ends. I've never used Kadrons, but I've used the CB linkage with my DRLAs and my IDAs.

Humm, maybe I should run the price up on Mr. Bates.  ;D

That looks like an older linkage but still in good shape. I thought about poping for a new Berg linkage but decided against it. As soon as CIP gets the CSP one in stock I will be ordering it from them.

i am also doubting what linkage to use with my kadron.
i like the gene berg one, but i also found this one on thesamba:

is this an original linkage? does anyone know if it's a good one?

Long as you use the end clips, you should have zero problems with the stock linkage. I used that for years and loved it. Always wanted the Berg one but the stock one worked so well, I opted out.

I used Scat linkage on my 1600 DP and now on my 1500 SP Kadron engine. Very easy to set - up, only added a return spring from a stock Solex.

I´m going to use CSP centrepull linkage on my 2276 as it feels even better (central piece on bearings, all steel).

years ago I used the stock linkage without problems. In fact Berg used to sell replacement ends made of plastic, and believe they had a pin/clip that would slide through the ball area to keep them on. Those worked great...but the Empii version...hum how do I say it, never mind I'll be nice...The Scat linkage works great too.
