Correct me if I'm wrong but i thought they were bonded together so Annealing would stuff up the bond surely ,
I do understand where you coming from thou in a normal alloy weld situation

... of course you are right, no annaeling when it's bonded.

It lasted this long.. managed 1 and a half day in the bike park. Was worth a try!

Sucks because the bike performs awesome

Time to find a machine shop that can mill out links from solid stock. Just make them out of 7075 and skip the whole hollow thing. The hardest part will be getting the bearing seats right. Heck, you pole owners should contact a group buy and have a shop produce 20-30 links.

If I were a Voima owner, I would try at all costs to get the 3D CAD plans from Leo

There are plenty of machinists who will be able to reproduce them

The links aren’t the issue. It’s the drive side swingarm that has issues. Either way, it would be nice if there were a company like Cascade or Dev-5 that would make some replacement parts. Fingers crossed someone will make some.

Sorry, with the closeup, I thought it was a link, not the whole swing are.
