Cascade Components V4 Santa Cruz 5010 Link boosts travel with flip chip (2024)

FAQs

What is Santa Cruz flip chip? ›

Flip chips are an adjustment mechanism found in the lower link of many of our VPP™ bikes that changes the bike's geometry and suspension rate.

With 130mm of rear travel that surprised me with how composed it felt, this little bike is far more than just the “play bike” it's always been billed as. One of my favorite trail bikes this year, I had a hard time giving the Santa Cruz 5010 back when the time came.

What does a Cascade Components link do? Replacing the stock link with one of ours changes the kinematics of the frame itself. By modifying linkage dimensions, sometimes on a very small scale, our links are able to increase the amount of progression and/or travel a frame has.

Flip-chip adjustments are often minor

How much difference half a degree in the head angle or 5mm in the reach really makes will depend on your needs. Mountain bike geometry tends to be pretty spot-on, so some argue flip chips are more of a gimmick than a real benefit.

Disadvantages of Flip Chip Compared to Wire Bonding

It requires precision equipment and additional steps such as underfill dispensing and reflow. Fragility: The solder bumps in flip chip packages can be fragile, leading to potential vulnerabilities, especially under extreme mechanical stress or temperature variations.

The 5010 has always been more capable than many expected but with the traction-gaining 29-inch wheel up front and even more refined suspension the 5010 gives you a deft touch on the trails. Please note: Price, Weight, and Parts Spec information is subject to change. What's My Size?

In essence, the Santa Cruz 5010 excels in technical descents but faces minor challenges on smoother climbs. Despite this, its versatility and playful handling make it an appealing choice for adventurous riders.

But for the money, the Santa Cruz offers a lot of equipment and one of the best warranties in the industry. Our test Santa Cruz Limited rang in at more than $40,000, which is a lot for a compact truck, but it was also fully loaded. It's easily worth the price.

They have stated that installing the link will not void your warranty so long as they determine the issue is not related to the link. There are some shocks out there with reservoir clearance issues at full compression regardless of which link is used, so always double check that when making changes.

When you cast a spell with Cascade, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card whose mana value is less than the cascading spell. You may cast that card without paying its mana cost. Then put all cards exiled this way that weren't cast on the bottom of your library in a random order.

What is the cascade Why is it needed? ›

The cascade is an algorithm that defines how user agents combine property values originating from different sources. The cascade defines the origin and layer that takes precedence when declarations in more than one origin, cascade layer, or @scope block set a value for a property on an element.

The flip chip allows for a large number of interconnects with shorter distances than wire, which greatly reduces inductance. Wire Bond vs. Flip Chip In the wire bond method (top), the die faces up and is attached to the package via wires.

The Flip Chip is a small component located in the rear shock mount. By changing the position of the Flip Chip, you can change the bottom bracket height and head tube angle of your bike. This translates into a significant variation in the behavior of the bike, adapting it to different riding styles and terrains.

FCCSP (Flip Chip Chip Scale Package) offers chip scale capacity for I/Os around 200 or less. FCCSP provides better protection for chip and better solder joint reliability compared with direct chip attach (DCA) or chip on board (COB).
