Good eye sir - there is a golden shaft in my TTX. The shock was built from scratch with a custom valving for Levo, my weight and riding style. It is a mix of parts from previous version and M.2. Golden shafts are usually reserved for World Cup racers but somehow this particular Öhlins partner...

85kg [187 lbs] More details about my setup and spring rates here: https://www.emtbforums.com/threads/cascade-link-2022-levo-long-shock-kit.27269/post-449907

So I finally had a chance to ride my bike with long link and Öhlins TTX22 M.2 with 502 lbs/in spring which gives me 29% of SAG. Since some riders reported problems with bottoming out the coil shock when set at around 30% SAG, first I took the bike to the city and hucked it to flat. My Fox 38...

Have you seen this recall information regarding Atera Genio Pro and checked if your rack is not affected? https://atera.de/recall_en.html "Regrettably we have detected a defect with our GENIO PRO rear carrier: We have received isolated complaints about the locking function of the tilting...

I use an Atera Genio Pro, it takes two bikes up to 30KG each and can be expanded to hold a third bike if you wish to. I think you can get a loading ramp for it to, although I just lift my bike up. I went for this rack as it folds up nicely for storage, very similar to the Thule Easyfold XT. It...

Öhlins TTX22 M.2 works wonderfully with my Levo

I use Thule EasyFold XT 2 with long straps when I want to go biking alone [wife mode: OFF]. Sadly this bike rack fits only one Levo ebike. However, if I need to take two Levo ebikes [wife mode: ON], I use another bike rack: Inter Pack Spider 2E. Here's the comparison of those two...

I have an older version of Thule EasyFold XT 2 with long straps and sadly it fits only one Levo ebike. Perfect when I want to go biking alone. However, if I need to take two Levo ebikes, I use another bike rack: Inter Pack Spider 2E. Here's the comparison of those two bike racks:

Facts without data and proof are not facts. Also, where did you get information that "the long link kit is meant to be run in the low setting"? No mention of such suggestion on the Cascade Components website. However, there is this information on their website [which seems to be as accurate as...

Please stop spreading these false information. Unless you can show us real measurements, I advise other riders to ignore your unproven "theories". Seeing such statements is not very helpful for others to make their decision. Below is the measurements I took on fully stock 2022 Levo Expert S4...

BB height comparison - static, suspension not compressed. My Levo Expert S4 sits 5-6 mm higher with Cascade long kit. I'm good with it as I was bashing my cranks and pedals quite a lot. Left: OEM / Right: Cascade long kit

I would be surprised if you got different SAG with same shock, same spring rate and same rider weight. 15 mm of SAG [23%] is maybe good for XC but all: Specialized, Cascade Components and Öhlins recommend 28-30% SAG. With 23% there is just not enough droop travel for such bike to ride well -...

1 turn of preload on my spring, just to eliminate free play. And yes, long link needs way lower spring rate. I would say 25% is pretty small SAG, not much small bump sensitivity. Did you have your TTX22m.2 changed to 230x65 or you are getting a new shock?

I would rather go back to air shock than install such monstrosity on my bike. ;) Besides Sprindex would not solve the my problem as I needed to make considerate change in spring rate. If I will need progressive spring there are plenty producers that offer better looking product. The length of...

For those looking for an advice regarding spring rate - don't take anything for granted and don't trust anyone ;) Recommended spring rates are way off even on Cascade Components website! According to their info, I should use use 550 lbs/in spring for my 85kg [187 lbs]. Based on the info in...

How shaft diameter would affect the SAG?

It will be Öhlins TTX22m.2 built per order. I do not understand why the spring rate would be higher on Öhlins? Usually Öhlins shocks tend to run more damping and less spring rate than Fox/RockShox.

I asked Cascade for advice about the spring rate and was assured the 550 lbs/in is the correct coil for my weight (85 kg). Now seeing his photo I'm even more confused.

Thank you guys for all the info. Anyone else would like to share their weight and spring rate? I'm not new to biking and suspension that's why I'm bit skeptical with general recommendations posted on various websites. According to Cascade Components info, I should use use 550 lbs/in spring for...
