Is there any difference in these? Do they use the same parts e.g. if a Mini Sport rod on the rear snaps can it be replaced with a Mini Sport one? 

 

(I noticed MiniSports rear rods are £11 each but MiniSpares are £10 for the pair) 

 

Thanks

I believe the diameter of the knuckle joint spigot is intentionally different, for no engineering reason whatsoever, but so that they can stitch you up for higher-cost spares every time the knuckles need changing.

The Minispares Hilo's use the standard Knuckle Joints, so the 2 are not interchangable

So would MiniSpares metal rods not fit into the MiniSport HiLo's?
