RS super dlx coil with 450 spring at 160lbs. Definitely on the stiff side but prefer it that way. Never bottom and more solid jumping.

Lol I own the process 153 2018 it got head tube angle of a road bike haha
66 is such a cross country Head angle but it gets the job done perfectly so don't feel bad man

yeah both have their pros and cons

I just swapped to -1 angleset, bike feels much better. Gonna have 170mm shaft installed in next week! HT angle should then be somewhere near 64.5, cant wait Smile

Mines running -1 angleset and 1 offset bushing. So should be at 64.5 as well. Feels good. Running stem low to keep front front washing. Would love to try a lower offset fork.

2018 Kona Process SE with 160mm Shimano RT30 rotor. I thought I had the correct removal tool but I don't. Does anyone know the correct removal tool for the inner ring?

Anyone have trouble with their rear axle? Mine is sinched so tight and I'm afraid of leveraging it harder and stripping it out.

I'm dealing with a bent rim and going to attempt to bend it back before giving up and replacing it completely.

Heat gun or hot water can help expand the threaded hole.

Hitting Jumps and Berms at the gap


Hello Everyone, This is me on my Kona Process 153 2020 AL on a cascade link. The cascade link for me was the best upgrade I did so far on the bike. It felt very poppy which is the first thing I've noted on my first ride. It was more stable on technical section especially on Rooty terrains and chunkier rock gardens. The bike felt like a botttomless rear shocks, I am running my (sag on the current set up @ 20% front(4tokens) and 20% back(3tokens) rider wt: 70kg) as I really love the feeling of fast and hard suspension. the playfulness of the bike is still there. I would highly recommend to get yourself one. Next upgrade would be a coil shock, eyeing on a progressive springs like Canecreek. Although I am already happy with my current set-up, I would still want to try coilshocks as i've read good feedbacks from them. What do you think?? Hopefully I can help you with your purchase decision on cascade link. https://youtu.be/fKPacf5Wgs4 link to one of my video riding with the link and just check out some other videos as well...

Thanks for sharing. That's my favorite color Process 153. Glad you're liking your Cascade link. I picked one up a few months ago and am very happy with it. I came off a very linear 2018 Cannondale Trigger that I really liked, but felt I wanted a more progressive linkage. The Process 153 delivered the fun and poppy feel, but I was surprised how often I bottomed out the rear. Riding our chairlift hill in Texas (Spider Mountain), I noticed how much more capable the rear felt over rougher sections and when landing. I cleared a doulbe without really trying for the first time. Despite the added weight from the link, I really couldn't feel it in the bike's handling and it felt even more lively boosting off features and jumps. I wish the link was cheaper so that more Process 153 owners could experiment with it. I'm happy I was able to fit it into my budget. I think I really extended the amount of time I'll be happy with my Process 153. Cheers!
