Yeah, I never replace those unless I see a crack in the threaded part, and the last thing I'm going to do is replace that excellent system with Minibal links.

There were some gray ones for a while that seemed as though they didn't last as long as the white ones. I asked Christian about that, he didn't seem to know about the gray ones or recall them, but sent me a complimentary handful of white ones with the stuff that I had ordered from them.

I have some of those. The thread diameter is different/smaller, and they were pulled off a tuba that got converted to Dubro. Half of them are cracked.
