    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    So many factors What do you weigh What mode are you riding in what tyres what sort of climb is it? a fire road will be a lot more effecient than a technical one. In saying all that, I'm 100kg and done a few 1400-1500m days easily (720Wh) in Trail mode. Climb was up a road however.

    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    Mines completely bricked, won't turn on no matter what, just hangs at the steps screen now. How do you reset the battery? Hold down that button on the underside of it? Edit - Fixed it I think, Took battery out and reset it. Held down the small button for 10 seconds. It's turning on again...

    Still no idea with the intermittent fault. I lodged the post, got told 2 month wait. Thankfully my good friend owns a bike shop, He's loaned me a fox 200mm transfer :) It would now appear the DHX2 is failing, oil mixing with air behind the IFP. I can't win with this bike lol.

    This bike is cursed, now the dropper post has died. I suppose that's what warranty is for, but I'm at about 50% ride ending mechanical s at the moment.

    Thanks I'll give it a try, I suppose charging it might dislodge the crap on the connections too. I have a compressor, but I think one of those "air in a can" things might be a bit easier/portable.

    I reseated the plug numerous times. Only fix is putting it on the charger. It's so frustrating. Ruining rides.

    put your height and weight into the Norco ride aligned website You will be a 600lb spring. https://www.norco.com/ride-aligned/ it will give you correct spring rate and damper settings. I am a complete suspension nerd and the suggested settings are spot on.

    Ok I'm having issues with this bike. It will shut off itself and then not restart (as if the charge cover is open) the steps logo will flash on the screen then nothing. Battery has charge left. It did it to me last weekend after only 1 bar of use. Only solution I have is charging it again...

    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    Good stuff, as long as you know the start and finish leverage point it should be quite straightforward (3.15/2.45) The LR is almost a perfect straight line too so shock tuning should be effecient and more importantly provide ultimate performance. The Fox DHX2 tune provided by Norco was spot on...

    Very nice, I presume you have a tune for these then? My inputs have landed this bike at 22.2% progressive. If you would like to trade data feel free to PM me, I have reverse engineered the whole kinematic.

    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    My buddy got a sight and his didn't come with it, seems only the range gets the pads. Been riding this thing a lot, a few small issues and one really annoying one. small: - The protective pads basically fell off, luckily they were still attached (barely) and I reglued them. - I've broken the...

    Norco VLT Bikes 2022

    Got a proper ride in on this thing, holy crap what a bike. It rides way better than what the geo would suggest, I never noticed the long wheelbase in a negative way at all, this bike climbs like nothing else also with a lot less effort. I did 820m of vertical and used 1 bar (720Wh battery) Very...

    yep, had a Merida E160 900e, I loved that bike for all round trail capability. But the large was too small ultimately.

    well it turned up, threw my 38's and Deity bars from my old bike on it, absolutely perfect bike. Little heavy but stability in spades!

    Ordered an A1 Range in XL, be here in a couple of weeks. Really hoping it's not too "big" the 505 reach doesn't worry me, it's the 1336mm wheelbase! I'm 6'1, so I'm on that border of L & XL. I suppose it's easier to make a bigger bike smaller (stem, seat position) than the other way round...

    yep, I don't foresee many issues as this is a wide spread issue. More the time I'll be off the bike. I ride 3-4 times a week and this is going to kill me mentally. Just my luck to crack one during a worldwide pandemic lol.

    Cracked my 900e frame at the top tube/seat tube junction. Apparently a common place for them to let go. We will see how good/painless Merida Australia warranty is I suppose. I'll keep you updated.

    Coil Shock on e160?

    Got one fitted to my 900e yesterday. Few small challenges. Thanks to covid I could only get a 205x60, this isn't a huge problem. Under the bump stop is a 5mm delrin spacer. Carefully snip that off. Well, that didn't go 100% to plan, I accidently knicked the damper shaft resulting in a small...
