Hey y'all, anyone running an optic link or a cascade components optic link on a fluid fs and care to share their experience?

I reached out to this seller since he claims to have done it, and the pictures back it up, but never heard back: https://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/3166068/

Super interested in doing this as I got a killer deal on a lightly used 2020 Fluid FS 3 a while back and have slowly upgraded it to make it more capable and fun to ride (hunt trail wide wheels, custom tuned DPS, upgraded 2.1 damper in pike, slackr angleset). I love the bike with one big exception--it has an incredibly annoying creak that I can't seem to eliminate, and I think it's coming from the two piece link on the Fluid. That's because it went away after I took that apart, cleaned it, spread a thin film of grease and then reassembled it. But now it's back after a few dusty rides and it's making me mental.

Any help out there?

Hi there!

I have the same question...
Did you finally get any feedback?

Thanks!

Well I finally assembled all the pieces for this and, well, it doesn't work on the medium size frame. The optic link impacts the frame at top out.

Almost certainly moot, but figured I'd follow up just in case I can save someone else the hassle.

Is that with a stock shock? 190x45?
The link was hitting the inside of the seat tube? I'm guessing yours is a 29'er
