I have not had this happen on my C2. I wonder if a narrow-wide roller would help the chain from coming off there.

I was a very early purchaser and just had my seatstay replaced with the new version, others I know with the same bike are just now getting them or will very soon. Everything is good to go now. The parts are indistinguishable aside from they are all raw carbon now - easy to tell which version is...

You can run a 65 stroke shock increasing it to 162 rear travel.

I don't know much about them but they've been solid so far. My favorite thing is how quiet the rear hub is, you can barely hear it when coasting.

Is Turbo the same power as eMTB just with less overrun?

Honestly the modes are ridiculous and confusing, but I'm not surprised because the Germans complicate everything. Now there are 8 modes to choose from with so much customization in terms of "assist" and "dynamics" on a -5 to +5 scale, without any concrete data about what those mean, or how the...

No updates available showing. Android user in California.

I have also noticed the mavens change the engagement point. I haven't felt fade or sponginess except for the first big downhill when they got bedded in, but over the past few rides the left and right aren't exactly the same grab point anymore... I bled them when I got them since I run moto...

Yes it is BUT there is a coupler down near the motor that had come disconnected as well as at the top entrance port so it made rethreading tricky until I realized this. On the top just pull the display unit and you can clearly see the tubes to ensure they're connected. On the bottom I think I...

Already running a Podium!! How do you like it?

The power update will be nice, but the 85Nm and 600W has been plenty IMO. Also, I don't much like the overrun modes either, so the EMTB+ isn't that interesting. To me the BIGGEST improvement they could make is to add a 28mph Class 3 mode option. It's not about going 28mph on trails and...

Woah! Good catch. Curious about the new Bosch bushing supposedly coming out.

The bushings are designed to allow for axial play and a small amount of radial play, rubber coated to reduce noise. I don't see anything wrong with his DIY bushings as long as they are toleranced right.

Got word that Norco will be shipping out replacement seatstays in an abundance of caution to the affected bikes, but will take a minute to actually get them from their supplier (months). Unfortunate timing for them right after the release of the bike, but better to catch it early than never, and...

One of the biggest things I notice about the high pivot is the lack of chain growth during climbing. No matter what the suspension is doing, the pedaling feel is always consistent and no strangeness when going into a dip
