Well an update- the links got here 20 mins ago and they are already on. I have to say I wasn't expectant as I measured them before they went on and they were 80mm CtoC. My old ones were 85mm and I thought that Kevs ones were 74mm?

Anyway, I fitted them and have ended up with a 23mm rise at the axle which to be honest I can barely notice- the bike doesn't look much different.

Oh well, they aren't coming off now and I have a set of stock 85mm links going free to a good home if anyone wants them - I heard they are a jack-up on an XTR? Free for collection from Billericay, Essex.
