Has anyone replaced the headset with an angle set with their Sight?…. If this has been made successfully keen to follow up to which type - brand was implemented.

After bumping the fork to 170mm feels good and maybe even 180mm… Seems like an extra degree to slacken things out may aid better to riding conditions.

Ok thanks!

Why did you get a Sight? It sounds like you needed a Range instead.

To answer your question kntr…… The Sight has been my first ebike, this was in 2019, after a few years not owning a bike, at which coming from DH rigs.

In short…. rekindling all the logistics and feel for riding an e bike, gaining confidence on the trails and features.

The Range came about in 2020-21…. now recently owning one.

Just picked up a vlt a2 29er for a donor motor which I was planning on selling when I sourced a new motor for my E 160 but had a couple of rides and I liked the way it felt so will now keep as a second bike to use for longer rides (630 vs 504 battery) Currently running the dhx with valt progressive spring on the e -160 and love it so looking at upgrade options and the marzocchi coil is a cheaper option. Interested to know a bit more about your experience with the coil over the stock shock which is about as basic as they come from memory.
