Does anyone have mono-link set to the high position on their rail?

Changed the position, didn't notice much.

Hello,
did anyone face some shifting issue after setting the link to HIGH?

 

[Tartam]

I run a trail 9.8 2021 in high with a 180 front fork. I ride PNW downhill chuck and it works great.
Going to try a mullet setup soon.

Do you run 180 in the front with the original 230x57.5 rear shock ?

 

[Tartam]

Mines on high to get seat stay clearance for a 62.5mm shock. It's balanced out by running 170mm Zeb's.

I just made samme setup 170 front with 62.5 back. Didn't you have enough clearance in low ?

IMO, this whole mini-link thing sounds cool, but setting the sag probably has more of an effect. I wish it made enough of the difference to switch to a mullet without lowering the BB. Handy though for running a longer travel shock which I am thinking of doing like so many others already have. Too bad they don't make a 235mm shock to raise the rear.

I still am a huge fan of the 27.5x2.8 plus wheels, too bad they fell out of favor. The 29x2.6 are OK, but not the same for eating up rock gardens and not as agile.

Nope, not by a long shot. Mines a carbon medium. Things may well be different on alloy/larger frames.

Prior to buying a Rail my last MTB was a Trek EX9 with 26" wheels. The Rail was like riding a sled after the EX9. Moved the link to top just to get it to steer a bit quicker but I'm still adapting to the major change. Love the bike but it does steer slow IMO even in the high position.

If anyone's wondering about swapping the mino link around and hasn't tried it before - it's 17nm torque. Don't over-grunt it - the bolt shears to protect the frame ( which is a good thing ).
I used the cable tie hack to ensure it won't come undone and if it does you won't lose it ( also a good thing ).
Don't do cable tie up real tight as the frame movement will break it.

I just used some loctite 243 and torqued up to spec... Been ok for 18 months.

I torque all of the pivots when new and then apply a mark with a paint pen for a visual inspection each ride to see if anything has backed out.
