I have a carbon sentinel v1 with a cc link and a factory 205x57.5 x2 shock. Tried the x2 on the standard linkage and was struggling to not blow through the travel. Put the cc link on and the bike now feels amazing. I really love the sentinel but the dpx2 is a really a bad shock for the bike. Just putting cc link on won’t give you completely what your after on the sentinel and I think the shock needs changing as well. That’s why I think john wasn’t blown away with it.
