Official Sprocket Rockets Cascade Components Link Thread
It's funny how upgrading a part, in my case from a DPX2 to a Float X can lead you down a rabbit hole.
Recap: I replaced the DPX on my V2 Switchblade with a new Float X. I couldn't get a good balance of bottom-out protection while riding trail sized drops and jumps without it feeling harsh. I played with the combinations of air-pressure, LSC, Volume spacers available to me. Perhaps beefing up the HSC would have helped, but I didn't want to send it out. (I think this issues has more to do with the lack of the specific tune for the Switchblade than a fault with the Float X itself).
It was mentioned that Cascade makes shock links for the V2 Switchblade that increases progressively from ~25 to ~31%. I immediately ordered one up because I'm a sucker for new parts. It arrived on Friday, Swapped in easily, and after only setting sag we were off to Trestle Bike park.
I came up short more than enough times to put it through it's paces and I think it bottomed out when appropriate. If anything, I might go down a spacer.
So, while I don't have a good sense of how it performs over all, it certainly has seemed to solve my problem of bottoming too easily. I'm looking forward to dialing the shock in a bit more.
What's everyone else's experience?
