What its like with Cascade Link + Ochain | Turbo Levo Gen 3

Cascade Link https://cascadecomponents.bike/produc... Tools you need: 4mm, 5mm, 6mm Allen Keys and Torque Wrench Ochain Nero Spider - Wait for 2024 when O-chain releases their adjustable spider. Right now you are stuck with 9° and that is A LOT for trail riding. https://www.ochain.bike/ochain-produc... Tools you need: Park Tool BBT-18 Bottom Bracket Tool [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000R9G7MO?...] 2-Jaw Gear Puller [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2ZZXMGB?...] 10mm box end wrench 5mm Allen Key 36mm socket Thread Lock (locktite Green) Stock SRAM chainring and chain bolts. What I was expecting with this O-chain upgrade are: 1. Less leg fatigue. 2. Doesn't break rear traction while cornering. 3. Eliminate the rear hung up. What the O-chain was like on the trail: 1. Still get fatigue in the exact same part of the trail. No difference here. 2. It hasn't broken the rear traction while cornering even under light braking. 3. Rear hung up is still there and its about the same amount of hung up as stock. Which is around 1 hung up per ride and my ride is around 30 miles || 4800 ft climb. What I didn't expect with the O-chain: 1. This many pedal strikes on technical trails such as in Rocky Ridge (Single Black Rated Rock Garden). I clipped my pedals 4x in 1 climb. I've gone up there 5 times on this bike and only pedal striked ONCE with DT Swiss 240 hubs at 7° POE. With the O-chain at 9° POE and i9 Hydra hub, I got 4 pedal strikes in 1 climb! 2. I was attacking the chunks slightly more. Less rear braking and I saw myself letting go of the brake because it felt like the bike was still composed. I noticed this at UCSC (loam/fast/roots) and STCP (slow/fast rock garden). 3. Super active rear end. It really just wants to eat everything in its way! As a rider, I feel like I'm floating on the pedals and this can be good or bad. Its good while going over chunks straight on but bad while cornering because there's no trail feedback and I can't tell what the rear tire is doing. 4. Needed to add more rebound because the rear end is moving freely it seems. 5. Rear end got louder. Top chain is loose and hitting the chainstay and seat stay more because there’s no tension. I'm still running the Cascade Link and O-chain. I like the plowing through stuff with this setup but not the cornering and tech climbing. I need more time on these and see if I'm going to keep it or not.
