Just a little info on the alloy the spacers on the chainstay to the link are not the same as the shock and link. They are more similar to the pivot and link where as they don’t get pressed in. So keep your spacers and bolts organized from where they came from If you’re installing these yourself use the same suggestion of grease and holding the spacers while you slide the chainstay onto the link.
Is it possible to run a coil shock with this link on a 21+ evo? Specialzied says the evo is not coil shock compatible. Also, what travel is that zeb fork? Would it make sense to run 170 zeb fork on evo with your link installed? Thanks!
@@akjdhfkqwrhetkjanfvkkkresae well, there is a normal linkage already as well, isn’t that obvious. It’s about Progression. So his question was super legit. Especially, when you read, that the mullet link even lowers the stock Progression again... is that true @cascade?
@@akjdhfkqwrhetkjanfvkkkresae No, it's the same link, so you would need to choose one or the other. But Cascade was saying the yoke modification is better to go mullet. Is this true @Cascade Components?? Shed some light please haha
@@CascadeComponents but stock shock for the 2021 stumpy alloy is 190x45 (130mm rear travel). It is compatible even if this cascade link is designed for a 210x55 shock?
@@noastudi The linkage is not designed around a specific shock size but it is designed for specific frames. It works on the Stumpy alloy with the 190x45mm shock as well as the Stumpy EVO with the 210x55mm shock
I just got the WRP yoke for my ( mixed wheel) evo. I'm all torso and short legs so i don't like a full 29r. I'm going to install the WRP this week. I'm wondering if the WRP yoke, with the Cascade link will on my mixed wheel will be overkill? I'm a heavy rider at 225-230lbs. I'm thinking with both I might need shorter cranks. Don't really know. I can't find anything on line about both.
@@CascadeComponentsSweet! I'm watching this video again because tomorrow I'm installing the Cascade. I'm really looking forward to riding my Evo with this link and the WRP together 🎉
I suppose it depends on how you look at it. If you were to keep the air pressure exactly the same as before the sag will increase. If you set sag to be the same as before the air pressure will be higher but it will still be more supple and then much harder to bottom out. So I guess no matter what it makes top of travel more sensitive and then how much of travel it's more sensitive fore can be tuned with sag.
I want to get one of these for my 2020 stumpy ST and I know on the website it talks about 210x50/52.5mm shock mounts but mine is a 190x45mm, does that make any difference in compatibility?
Is this link to change the bike to 27.5 in the rear or an upgrade to the stock setting (29er rear)?? Is there a cascade link for going 27.5 in the rear?
This linkage is an upgrade to the stock 29er frame. If you want to mullet your bike, take a look at the Williams Racing Products Mullet Yoke for the Stumpjumper EVO
I have a Cascade Link on my 2019 Stumpy Evo and now I have a 2021 Evo. I'm trying to get on coil and I think I'm going to have to get on this cascade link too. Is the increase in rear travel from this linkage a byproduct of increasing the progression of the suspension? Or is it technically possible to accomplish the increased progressivity via a custom linkage while maintaining the 150mms of rear travel? Just curious really but I haven't felt like I needed additional travel back there.
@@hunterwright386 I went on the website the other day and they appeared so im pretty sure they do! You don’t loose anything checking and sending them an email I mean I am pretty sure they are made with the same size aluminium block so they can probably make you one if you ask them for it. The anodising colour im not sure they can give you the colour you want if they are not making them anymore as they were a few months ago but hey raw aluminium looks pretty darn good anyways and you can always spray paint it the colour you want at home with a bit of patience to mask the bearings !!
This one does not work with the 2019 SJ, but we do make a link for that model already. As someone else mentioned, check out site under Specialized links.
Fits Stumpjumper EVO (2021 to current) Travel: 158mm (with stock 210×55mm shock) Progression increases to 26% compared to 19% with stock link Keeps geometry identical to stock geometry Sealed Enduro MAX bearings CNC’d out of 6061-T6 Aluminum Colors: Black, Silver, Orange
@@THRENO82 Currently working to figure out compatibility here. The stock link is the same on the alloy so hopefully this link is compatible with it as well.
@@CascadeComponents That is what everyone says, right before they gouge the aluminum 😂 We have all seen what some can do with a screwdriver and a crown race 😳
