How to Convert Between Salsa Cassidy and Salsa Blackthorn MTBs

[@Busby7744]

Do you find you need to change your chain length when swapping between the two?

@@Busby7744 nope! The chainstay length doesn’t change between the blackthorn and the Cassidy

Hey man great video. I have an alloy frame blackthorn i just picked up. Im doing shock upgrade from the stock to ultimate super deluxe. Do i have to press the bushings on the eyelets or is everything floating? Thanks in advance.

1. great profile pic 2. I THINK what you're asking is about is answered here: www.salsacycles.com/assets/298581_SAL_Shock_Mount_Hardware_INST_VF_Web_1.pdf Whether you'll need a press might come down to the shock itself. I find that the Rockshox bushings are tighter and have needed tools, but the DVO hardware I can usually deal with by hand. You can get kind of creative with how you press them on as long as you don't use anything sharp
