My impressions of the Cascade Link on my Yeti SB150. #YMMV
Swapping rear suspension linkages is not a new thing. I swapped my 2015 Specialized Enduro 29er yolk link to a 27.5 yolk link. It changed the geometry of my Enduro which I liked and also didn't like depending on the situation. I feel the same about the Cascade link on the SB150.

Great video and content on your channel! Got a cascade link for my enduro. Did you have to make any adjustments in the Zeb after installing the link? In my case, with specialized enduro I had to reduce air in the ZEB to get same SAG point and made tweaks to rebound, compression to match added pop from the shock.

Wow I didn’t know those links existed! I wonder if there is something for the sb165 and correct for mulleting the bike. Cheers!

Been considering for a while since I’m running a DHX2 with 450lb spring but as you say tread with caution. Current link is feeling pretty good with the shock so will wait. Also damn it ain’t cheap 😂😂

After I tuned the shock better I really like it a lot

I have a tallboy 4 with a fox 36 on the front set at 140. Thinking of adding a cascade link. Any thoughts on how it would change the bike?

Check their website! Cascade generally tells what to expect.

Hey man I'm thinking of getting the cascade for my 150 but was wondering if you had any issues in mid stroke support? I know Cascade says to increase pressure but shouldn't it still be 30% sag? How much did your bb raise when you went to 25%? And did it help with pedal strikes?

@RyuMoto Ай бұрын

You'll notice the lower BB for sure. I also have to run much higher gas pressure in the shock. I run about 25% as my happy point

@RyuMoto Ай бұрын

You can get away with less sag/higher pressure and slowing down the shock. This also helps bring up the BB. This setup isn't for everyone though but might be worth a try. Just depends on your local riding conditions

@@RyuMoto I'm in NM so def a lot of chunk, so was worried bout rock strikes. Did you end up keeping it for your setup? Also did it affect cornering in anyway? Since you said you're riding less on the front end

@RyuMoto Ай бұрын

@@talesfromthetrailz it definitely helps compliance in the high speed chunk as long as you're damper can keep up. I'm on the Ohlins air shock now since the stock fox blew up. Cornering the Yeti in general is kinda harder cuz you have to ride it so aggressively in the front so if anything the weight transfer moves to the rear with the lower BB so you're gonna have to adjust a little. Hope that makes sense. At the end of the day... It's cheap enough to try. I've thinking of taking mine off since I'm riding less chunk with the sb150. That job went to my Turbo Levo now

@talesfromthetrailz Ай бұрын

@@RyuMoto so you think you had to lean more fwd in cornering with the link? And did it have a lot of Bob when pedaling?

Do you know how the sb165 rear feels compared to the Specialized Enduro, is one noticebly plusher than the other?

@RyuMoto 3 жыл бұрын

They are closer than the SB150 vs Enduro

@A80sM 2 жыл бұрын

I have sb150 and specialized enduro and they feel very different. Sb150 centrer of gravity is more front orientated whereas the enduro is more to the rear. The sb150 pumps through sections and corners very fast and efficiently for its travel but the enduro is plusher and with more travel and doesn't do that as good as the sb150. However, On the downhill rough stuff, super steep trails and the jumps, I will take the enduro any time of the day.

Does it climbs more sluggish?

@ShaftShackDotCom 2 жыл бұрын

Pretty sure you can raise your bb by extending the eye-to-eye of your rear shock, basically go 5-10mm longer. Also, if you're using less travel in the front now, take a token or let some air out to soften the fork...

Yetis are forward position riding bikes. Using all your rear and barely using your fork shows the imbalance youve created with the cascade. If you need a cascade, it means you just dont know how to tune the x2 properly.

@lylestewart9794 Жыл бұрын

Looking back at it a year later, it seems many people just don't like the X2. And it has been unreliable. Between the cavitation and leaking oil, they aren't worth running. At least they got the Float X right.
