2022 Heckler MX links from Cascade Components

[Rusty762]

I am like 175-180 with gear. I am running a 450lb spring with 30% sag.

With the Cascade links I am sure you can drop 50-100 lbs from your current spring.

Is there a difference between the pre production links and the production links?

There are no pre production links, did you find some for sale?

 

[Hickey300]

I meant prototype. You said these were the prototype links before they released them for production. I assume it’s the same thing?

 

[Rusty762]

I had sets of the prototype as we were working through the design. The links for sale are current non prototype

hello, wqnt to replace heckler shock but look like non standard eyelet at bottom, what is this eyelet ? look like there are bolts

 

[luna87824]

The width is the same top and bottom 30 mm, and the bolt has a diameter of 8 mm.

 

[SEBA]

what are the advantages of cascade link ?

would it touch my schock ?

 

[LautSprecher]

Will a 2024 Fox Float X2 fit into a MX LT link? In my understanding it will not fit.

Got response from cascade-link-team below 5 Minutes: they "recommend" Float X because of the tight space there but did not try it by themself.

installed cascade link in my Heckler 9 mx , went OK but touch my shock so I grind a bit the upper link to avoid that

bb seems higher but need to find the correct psi in shock , definetly more travel and sure it'll be very plush

will fit a zeb 170 soon , will update with picture of the whole bike

and find an idea of fitting a little multitool in the upper link but don't know if it's a good idea

 

[LautSprecher]

Which link did you install? The lt version?

 

[SEBA]

Which link did you install? The lt version?

it's the heckler mx link with longer shock 230x65

 

[LautSprecher]

Can you show a picture where the shock touches the link?

 

[SEBA]

Can you show a picture where the shock touches the link?

i'll be back home tommorrow

 

[LautSprecher]

Kind reminder

[SEBA]

here the area I was obliged to grind , it's about nothing but mandatory, now everything runs smooth

 

[SEBA]

after and before

so far I tested 20 min , 210psi in shock (230x65) 40% sag ( because I love so much when plush++ ) and it runs smooth , much more travel possible

dont know about the silver touch ,.what do you think silver or black ?

 

[LautSprecher]

Black of course. Do you have some ride experience now and some thoughts on the MX Link?

 

[JStrube]

Black for sure
