Sorry if this is common knowledge but I haven’t been able to find recent threads. I just got my Maslow with the ring linkage and not knowing any better I bought a triangulation kit. Do I need both of these or has the ring kit now replaced the triangulation linkage?

The ring accomplishes the same thing as the triangulation kit, but in a different manner. Both allow you to use the simpler (possibly more accurate) triangular Kinematics calculations.

since you have both, can do do a test to see how they compare 😉
