Yes, you are 100% entitled to your opinion. No one is taking that away from you Fun fact about the internet: no one has to pay the hosting costs to keep your opinions up on their site.

It doesn't seem like there's anything "faulty" with the links though, just that you don't need the extra progressivity for your riding. Cascade are pretty clear in the advertising/tech info that the links increase progression, so if you've tried the link and found out you don't need the extra progression it's unfortunate for you but no fault of theirs.

@mcfadden999 Can you do us all a favor and give us some pertinent information regarding your experience? How much do you weigh? What shock with what settings, and which Tune Id is installed in the shock? Without this information we're all just old man spraying beta at the clouds. I am genuinely curious, while I don't personally use a cascade link on my Forbidden, I've probably had the opportunity to set more of these bikes up that your average Joe, and while your experience is not unique, it does seem to have effected you more than most. If your set-up...

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Criticising something is one thing, but whining just because you don't like a product is a different thing. Not everything is made to please everybody. I don't buy a downhill bike and moan that it sucks for cross country riding. The link didn't suit you and thats fine, you gave it a try (for some reason?) and now you know, time to move on!

Fine, I'll bite. So I own a Forbidden Dreadnought and I also own the cascade link for the dreadnought. It is a well made product that feels and look like a quality part. It fit perfectly, and with a bit of help from Pinner machine shop, it worked great with my EXT. So props to cascade for the great part. 10/10. Is this part still on my bike? No. Would I recommend it to other dreadnought owners? Probably not. I actually feel like the link made the first 2/3rds of my travel amazing, like seriously the best I've ever felt...

Again, as the FAQ says, you may need to have the compression and rebound shim stacks tuned. Just because compression is "fully open" doesn't mean the shim stack isn't doing something. Also if you think compression alone is responsible for a "harsh" feeling, think again. Regardless, I do agree with your general premise that a very progressive bike takes more work to handle. And the progression numbers have come down because the average rider is just that, average, they don't need all that progression. But that's not Cascade's target market. You bought something that significantly increases progression and you're blaming...

I'm usually not one to feed the trolls, but this has gotten silly. As far as cascade links go, I know people who have gotten legitimate performance out if them and changed the way they rode their bikes. I also know people who how gotten them because they want something shiney and cool and they had no business having that part on their bike because they didn't ride that hard. Some didn't even change their shock settings or remove any volume spacers and suddenly hated their bikes because they didn't understand what they were doing, how bike setup works or...

I feel like that’s a you thing, and not a Cascade thing. If you knew your bike was already somewhat progressive, why did you feel the need to want more of a progressive feeling? Did you exhaust all other options like different shock settings, volume spacers, custom tunes, or even a different shock before choosing to purchase the Cascade link to chase the feeling you were apparently after? Not to sound like a d1ck, but did you even know what feeling you were after or did you blindly buy into marketing? As with everything in the world, there’s also the...

damn, bruh. what about us 57 year old men that try to ride like we're still 18?? Anyhow, Greg seems to put a lot of importance on people he trusts to help keep a stable environment. I see him thriving on a team with he and an upcoming junior rider and his sponsors, kinda like Gwin.
