2,900mi / 4,666km and still on my first motor. I have been through 2 speed sensors and still get occasional speed sensor error codes. Motor seems to limit power and acts a bit weird occasionally. Hoping to get one more season out of it and then fire sale the bike.

I have run a fox float x with a 2mm offset bushing in the eyelet/basevalve side of the shock on my XL frame. I have tried it this way with both the cascade link and with the stock link. There is barely room for the float X to not hit my frame, maybe .5mm to 1mm at most. I predominantly run...

It will not happen on a rise without a new seat stay design... IE, this will never happen on existing 2021-2023 rises.

my buddy has a large h-series that he is bringing over for me to install a cascade link for him. I'm supposed to do that thursday... I'll try out the fit and report back.

I usually run out of range due to climbing before mileage. I can usually get about 6,000' of elevation gain out of the built in batter and the range extender, around 8,500-9,000' if I'm carrying the second range extender. That usually ends up around 20-35 miles or so. A lot of the climbs I do...

Been quite in here lately... I think my rise has reached it's final form now. Planning on keeping it for another riding season (12 months or so) then moving onto something else if something else is available. For reference, my riding weight is 185lbs. My build is pretty specific... I wanted a...

I use the orbea rs toolbox with my fenix 6 for my rise. My wife uses the shimano steps data field on her garmin forerunner 965. I don't have many issues with the orbea rs toolbox... initial setup with the rs toolbox is a bit of pill and it can get a bit weird and connect to another rise if...

I'm still dialing in my rise with the above listed setup. Overall, it rides much nicer at speed/descending but there are some things to note with regards to overall balance. As I mentioned before, I upped the spring rate by about 40lbs, which is just under 10%. It feels as if that I still...

I've got a few rides on mine now. Running a dhx2 long shocked with the cascade link. I upped the spring rate from 515lbs to about 550lbs for my 180lb riding weight. So far so good, the small bump compliance is definitely more supple and the progressiveness is definitely improved and the...

That may partially be due to the compression/rebound tuning of the float X. I find that there is a lot of shim (or to simplify it, damping) pre-load on the float X. It's definitely the kind of shock where I find that I am running the rebound and compression pretty much open and adding even a...

I have my 8.5x2.5 (216x63) dhx2 now installed with a single, 2mm offset bushing and a 2.5mm stroke reducing spacer installed. The final specs are then 214x60.5 with the 27.5 rear wheel. There is no contact of the tire on the seat tube at bottom out with this setup. I'm not sure if I could run...

the offset bushings will not spin around the wrong way provided you are using them the way that they are intended, which is to make the shock shorter. If you are using them to extend the eye to eye length, (which is not what you would be doing when you use an 8.5x2.5 on a rise) then there is...

100% correct. I emailed back and forth with cc and they confirmed that the link brings the tire closer to the seat tube at bottom out. They warned me that a 214x63 mm shock with their link and a 27.5 tire would result in the tire hitting the seat tube.

That's correct, my personal rise has Front: 160mm fork with a 29x2.5 Assegai Rear: 214x60.5 dhx2 with a 27.5x2.5 Assegai Orbea is one of many brands that doesn't quite state their geometry chart in the real world. In CAD with suspension that isn't sagging under the bike's weight, and tires...

I got my link installed tonight. I measured bottom bracket height before and after and the bottom bracket height is not impacted. I have a the flattest 6'x6' area of my garage slab permanently marked. I have two marks on the floor within that specifically for transferring fit between bikes...

I will measure before/after to validate. I also have two rises in the house, but different sizes/configurations. Both are getting the cascade links so I'll be able to measure the 29 setup with 210x55 and the 27.5 setup with 214x60.5

well ok then... fwiw, your bottom bracket height is the same. Your dynamic sag (and resulting dynamic bb height) is different due to a different leverage/progression curve.

Are you saying that the dynamic bottom bracket height is higher or the static bottom bracket height? It would not be a surprise to say that the cascade link has a higher dynamic bottom bracket height. Once you adjust the spring rate for the higher initial leverage rate, you're going to have...

The cascade link does not change the bottom bracket height. The way it works is that the cascade link is longer, therefor it's a longer lever arm on the shock, and the rear wheel travels further and the seat stay angle at full shock compression is different then with the stock link. Related...

I have a cascade link ordered. I'm going to put it on my XL rise that is setup as a mullet, I am running a 216x63 (8.5x2.5) DHX2 with a single offset bushing. I plan on continuing the mullet setup, and using the DHX2 travel reduction spacer feature to space the shock down to 214x60.5, if the...
