I think everybody knows you can bend the links with a tubing bender.

Yah I never really understood why people are paying for these...seriously what's 3mm? Hell it'll give you a higher clearance pinion angle and you won't even notice the change in caster.

I make all my own links, there really not that hard to do. A tubing cutter or a band saw and a 3mm tap and a tubing bender.
