Does anyone have a solution to add an upper chain guide to a GX transmission on a 22 levo? I upgraded to Transmission but the stock chain guide doesn’t work and I’m dropping chains on heavy compressions.

I’ve tried both. There really is no comparison. The long link transforms the rear end to a different level of plushness and traction. The standard cc link is an improvement but still hangs up on rough stuff compared to the long link. The X2 rubbed on my S3 with a long link so I went with Rock...

180 LBS full kit

TRP DHR Evo with sintered pads are excellent. If you have smaller hands you might not like the lever reach though.

I’m running the standard 2023 shock. No issues. It’s fantastic.

Yes, HA neutral. I’ve tried all the geo settings and I find neutral works best on my local trails.

I’m on a 500lbs spring on my super deluxe coil at 24% sag. It feels amazing. I’ve never had 30% sag on any of my bikes with a coil. It’s always to soft. With air 30% is good. I’m not sure why everyone gets so hung up on 30%. I agree sag should fall within a certain range but at the end of the...

Quick update. I bought a super deluxe ultimate coil to replace my X2 that was contacting the frame on my S3 carbon. The shock no longer contacts the frame and I have no issues with the fit. This is a great shock. I like it even more than the X2. Traction is much better and shock has good...

The regular link is a vast improvement over the stock link. However the long shock kit is definitely on another level in rough terrain. I have both links and even though the X2 didn’t fit I’ll be going with a super deluxe coil. So depending on your terrain I think getting the long link set up...

I like their stuff if you can find it. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks!

I bet! What’s your weight and spring rate?

So the wear marks on the X2 sticker indicate that 10mm of the shock come into contact with the frame. Reducing the stroke by 2.5 mm might help a little but I think it will still contact the frame on full compression. So at this point to avoid a cracked frame later I’m gonna go with a super...

I have a 230 / 62.5 on my Commencal meta. I’ll give it a go.

Thanks for the info!

I’m already in that rabbit hole!🥴

I thought the disclaimer was for S2 and smaller. I’m pretty frustrated at this point but the setup works so well that I’m inclined to keep messing with it until it’s right. It really is transformative the way the bike rides now. I had some issues with a CC link on my SB 150 so this is not...

You are probably right. Sounds like the Ohlins is the way to go. I may end up with the X2 on one of my other bikes.

So after reading your post I was concerned that the 2024 X2 I ordered wouldn’t work on my S3 carbon with the long shock link. After installation at full compression it makes slight contact. I took it out for a rip today and reached full travel on a few g outs and drops. I didn’t hear or feel any...

I’m interested in the link if it’s still available? However since I’m new here I need 10 posts before I can pm people.
