I bought the sentinel link last week and I am using the stock shock 57.5 stroke which gives me 146mm travel on my V1 aluminium sentinel. One thing I always found with the stock transition link was that you were either over sprung (to much air in the shock) or bottoming out too easily if you ran the recommended sag. The Cascade link has improved things considerably. There is more progression in the suspension and the initial stoke is more supple. It has changed the ride feel for the better and I am really happy that I can now head into rock gardens without fear of the hangup that used to occur as the rear end bottomed out. I'd say if you are struggling to find the right feel in your bike this is a great way to improve the rear end and give more useable shock ranges. I weight 98kg (216lbs) fully geared up. I was sceptical at first but I needed to do something to improve things. I guess motocross setups from the manufacturers are standard kit and it is pretty normal to modify suspension tunes, components to improve the ride feel. I liken these links to those modifications certainly for the transition sentinel.

I"LL NEVER BUY CARBON AGAIN ! I bought a brand new Trek slash a couple of months ago. Went to Lake Garda for a summer holiday and had a solid rock strike in the bottom bracket region and POW ! thats the end of a 3K frame. The frame protection does not work well enough and Trek considers this crash damage, I consider it poor design. Give me an alloy frame any day. Now where can I buy a alloy Fugitive ?
