Additional Info

Built this baby up over a year ago. I've put thousands of pedal/shuttle/park laps on it so far.
Gone through 12 pairs of brake pads, 11 tires, 3 rotors, 3 drivetrains, 2 bars, 2 saddles, 2 bottom brackets... and one frame bearing (mostly out of boredom). These bikes are tough as nails!

How often are you servicing and rebuilding your suspension with the type of riding you do?

Shock has been rebuilt 4x (the DHX2 only once) and the fork has had 3x oil bath changes, one seal swap (I'm cheap) and one damper service.

It fluctuates based on so many factors. It's been as light as 33, as heavy as 37 (with a Cascade link). 34 is my normal running weight.

Awesome build! I have a question about the cascade link on Norco Sight. How do you like it on this bike? There is very limited information on the internet about it. Would be great to hear something from an actual user.

Umm... it wasn't for me. I think a lighter rider (170lbs or below) could benefit from the progressivity. I found I spent most of my time wallowing around mid-travel, even with the firmest spring I could find. It came back off pretty quick.

Thanks! That's interesting, most of the information I found about cascade link in this model was like the mid-stroke increases and the bike is more snappy. What's your X2 setup? I have X2 2021 and struggle to set it up well for me. I'm close to 200lbs fully kitted and the shock has a tendency to eat up the travel very easily, with less mid-stroke support than I like. If I pump the pressure up, the middle of the stroke is better but it starts to feel harsh.

I’m curious about this as well. Did you run the Cascade Link with the coil and air? I’m also over 200lbs. How did you feel the coil held up in the mid travel with the normal link?

I live in Oregon where the climbs are significantly more chill than the shore!
