One question , what’s wrong with M3 screw in that application? A single 6.8 grade metric m3 can withstand 3020N pulling force, thats around 300kg of weight hanging in that thread. Not that I would trust the Chinese screw but, people crossly underestimate the fasteners holding capacity. I have one of those dampers in my shelf and was thinking about upgrading the piston by turning one from brass and updating the seals to proper lip seals. To me the extrusion seems fine and it’s a budjet build for 25 year old beater. And to be honest, the damping feel and adjustability seems fine.

sorry for not replying sooner - it isnt just the grub screw its the fact also that the thread was so poorly cut that the grub screw did not fit securely. I'm sure you can appreciate that different Chinese brand will offer different build quality but this one was shockingly poor.

@@parkittdynoandsuspension Yes surely can. I used the extrusion and valve to make my own modifications to the unit. Shaft and housing are ok stuff. But I do have the advantage of owning a machine shop with cnc machines.

The Ohlins SD 030 damper uses an anodized adjuster knob

I think that's a mute point now, looking at images on Ohlins website all the newer dampers seem to have the anodised parts... only the older ones are brass. Problem with the vid is he has 2 different models, the knock off is a knock off of a more modern damper.

Awesome job exposing their junk compared to original Ohlins. And you're 100% right when you say buying this will result in your death. Just imagine that ball end pulling off and jamming up your yokes from moving. Death on a door knob..

If you exceed the m3 threads load carrying capacity of around 300kg, when steering then you are no longer the rider anyway, just the passanger of what’s left of the bike as there is no situation where steering damper sees 3000N of force in normal use.
