Norco Sight VLT

You need a progressive spring. The Sight isn’t designed for a Coil like the Range is so a progressive spring will fix (help) that

Ups. Seen your other post too late ??

hi mrwooster, is the rear suspension still bottoms out in 3 foot drop?

 

[mrwooster]

I havent bottomed out yet, but coming very close to and it is a bit short.

Dropping the gnar dog token in the the super deluxe seems to add a nice amount of progression into the end of the travel.

okay.. before i change my rear
suspension into coil spring setup, i used 1 volume spacer or token in rockshox deluxe and ramp up the air but it was a bit harsh so i decided to go coil spring setup and it is perfect. lots of traction..

Anyone had issues with their charger? Mine seems to have stopped working today, no light coming on when plugged in, doesn't seem to be charging at all.

The 2020 models only been out a couple months.

Anyone had anything like the following. Recently my bike has been making some odd noises when the suspension is in motion. It doesn't do it all the time but mostly when things get rough.

It sounds like rocks flicking into the carbon triangle. Or if the frame was to crack. I just had the front fork and rear shock full service but it still does it. I'm at a loss as to what it could be. I've got it booked in for a check next week but wondering if anyone can shed any light if they've had similar.

Will a 29er wheel fit on my 2019 vlt 2. I have the pike. I find the bb a little low for my liking for climbing single-track anyway. Ideally, put a 29 in the front with some offset shock bushings.

- Has anyone put on a 29 with the pike. Will it fit?
- Is anyone running a 29 front with offset bushings on shock to lower the bb back down?

I would think you'd have to put a 29er Pike fork to run a 29er wheel. I was planning on doing something similar with my Devinci AC. My plan is to put a 170mm 29er Zeb on it and run a mullet setup.

Actually the 2021 Norco Sight VLT 29er will have a complete redesign. Same fo the Range VLT. This is coming from a solid source...

 

[RSVB4]

Any word on when Norco will be releasing the new VLT? Was going to pull the trigger on a meta and waited for EP8 and was hoping the geo would have more reach and stack for me (6’6” with long wingspan) on new 21s but no luck. Here in the US Norco is the longest reach we can get besides a Mondraker.

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 circa 1100m elevation I was basically flat at the end of the ride. I used to get almost double that range. I'm probably less than 70kg in full kit with a 2 kg hydration pack. I am concerned than by battery got flattened while in getting fixed and was that way for a week or two and it has damaged cells, anyone else experienced anything similar?

Have you checked the "Battery Health" in an app like ST Unlocker? This should show you if you've had any significant battery degradation.

For comparison my Battery Health is 99% after approximately 650miles of use in about 3.5 months of use.
