    Norco Sight VLT

    Just curious did this fix it? I have experienced this before and although haven't used the dialectric grease have had the problems rear their head again. I'm waiting on a new wiring harness now. Will try the grease and contact cleaner see how I go!

    Norco Sight VLT

    It's a Norco issue. I had my whole wiring harness replaced once. It seems to happen if you get any water in the charging port.

    Norco's new Sight VLT 29er

    That's pretty much your only option, you do need to shift down to a small cog on the cassette or it doesn't really work.

    Norco Sight VLT

    I thought I saw something on a mullet Sight VLT on here, has anyone tried it with a 27.5 model? I want to try an Orbea Rise but I thought I might mullet the Norco first!

    Norco Sight VLT

    Cheers, gave this a try after seeing your post, it says 99% health too, but practical experience says that isn't accurate, the bike shop has a diagnostic tool apparently so I'll see how that goes.

    Norco Sight VLT

    Has anyone else experienced significant battery degradation? For the first time I completely used up my battery on one ride yesterday. I have noticed since I had an issue with the wiring harness I have been getting less life out of the battery but doing 38km in trail/eco (mostly trail) with...

    Bike bricked during firmware update?

    Yes it is the latest app, I'm inclined to agree with you even though I don't know the first thing about programming something definitely doesn't work!

    Bike bricked during firmware update?

    Shimano BT-E8035 battery weight reduction

    I totally agree, plenty of bikes out there that have a relatively low weight and certainly some riders would appreciate a smaller battery that fits in the same space as the bigger one (with weight all at the bottom) a smaller battery shouldn't be nearly as expensive as a full size spare. That...

    Norco Sight VLT

    Has anyone tried to lighten their Sight VLT? I haven't done the excercise but I'm curious if you applied the same spec as say the lightest Levo SL, how close you could get. There is about 800 gms in the motor and I'm guessing about 1600-1700 gms in the battery so circa 2.5kgs? I imagine the...

    Garmin & Trailforks-Anyone Tried It?

    I didn't even try to create one on the device, it was hard enough getting it to do what I wanted on the full laptop screen. What I was hoping was that I would quickly be able to sort out where I was and not have to pull my phone out to navigate, I haven't found it to be nearly as useful for that...

    Garmin & Trailforks-Anyone Tried It?

    I'm with Gary to a large extent Trailforks on the Garmin isn't great from my experience, I've only done a few rides with my 530, maybe I'll get better, there must be a better way to plan/map rides.
