Levo Gen 3 Cascade vs Pedalhounds

[Dave_B]

Cascade Uk has closed down, so I’d have to order from the US (which is fine). Here in the UK, we have the option of the Pedalhounds link.

Both offer exactly the same thing, increased travel, increase leverage ratio and better small bump blah blah.

Are both links EXACTLY the same?

Reading the description it looks like it does everything the cascade link did keeping the standard shock size

 

[Dave_B]

Which makes me wonder if it’s an exact copy of the Cascade link?

 

[Cb750stu]

Definitely looks very much the same, I didn't even know Pedal Hounds did one tbh

 

[Dave_B]

Neither did I. I randomly stumbled across it.

I’m adding a coil, hence thinking the cascade or PH link could be an option for me……

Looks like someone bought the last of the Cascade Components links from the closing down sale and are now looking to make an easy profit. Or maybe they are made in the UK like it states but surely a complete copy of CC link.

 

[Barnicles]

Surely it's got to be a direct copy?! It's the only link they sell.

I bought one of the last UK Cascade ones on a sale price so it was an easy decision.

I may know someone who is selling the link in the uk if that helps? He's selling his bike and has it currently fitted to it.

 

[Dave_B]

Yeah let me know mate

It's probably a copy; the Cascade link is more intricately machined and appears to come with better bearings.

Sooooo, has anyone in the UK bought one of these?
I'm picking up a Levo Turbo this week (after 3.5 years on a Trek Rail) and, of course, I'm immediately looking at what to change!
Cheers

Yes and it worked great on the Gen 3 Levo.
I then upgraded to the LT Cascade link and a 230 x 65 shock.

Nice one! Thanks for letting me know.
What did you do with the old pedalhounds link??

I sold it. Went fairly quickly too.

Here you go - comparison to standard.

That's great, thanks! Were the tolerances good on the bike? No slop or tightness in the rear triangle without the shock fitted?

Same as OEM and Cascade from my experience. Great product.
