Exploring increasing travel on my 5010 V4 using Cascade Components link.

I’m most interested in a 150/140 setup, but
also tempted by the 160/150 Cascade Components says is achievable.

Does anyone have any input, or experience with either of these setups?

Why not flip it for a bronson?

I've heard cascade links are great but keep in mind it'll void the lifetime warranty

I've used all the travel options for both 210/50 and 210/55 and have settled on 150mm paired with a 140mm 36 fitted with a Luftkappe. Flat pedal strikes were too frequent in my rocky terrain, so I moved to 152mm Trailcraft cranks--problem solved. My rides are mostly rips/jump sessions and I take full advantage of VPP's pop. Frame might deserve a better shock than the stock Select+ (which can be converted to 55mm) but definitely deserves a fork with a stouter chassis. If I were less satisfied I'd fit a 150mm Mezzer Pro and tweak the air springs to make it real soft off the top. I'm 6' and ride a Medium for maximum maneuverability, 50mm slammed stem and 50mm riser--complicated enough? The trick rocker is on sale presently--$236
