It’s become more and more common to see Cascade Components linkages mounted on Transition bikes at our local trailhead, for good reason. Several of the Bermstyle crew have been running them — on the Transition V1 Sentinel and V3 Patrol — and after several months of shredding trail, we’re in agreement that for aggressive riders, […]
