Finally got my Norco Range VLT done

[DaveyPetey]

A number of changes. Went with the c2 for the suspension and the color. Then rsc 210s, xo1 11 spd, and some Enve M70hv rims all of which I had laying around from on old bike. Still a couple months of snow here though.

Anyone else out there on a range? Absolutely loving it. Thought I'd just be using it for quick rips after commuting to work, but I'm not sure I'll be getting back on my Pivot FB29 unless i have to.

Nice ride, would love to try one of these but hard to impossible to get a demo in the uk

Hey mate, any chance of a quick review on the Range now it's been 6 months ?.
Hard to find any real world reviews.
Tossing up between a C1 and C2.
Just cooked the 2nd motor on my Kenevo so looking to change brands and the Norco/Shimano motor combo are on the top of my list,
Currently have an analog carbon Range in the stable so a pair would look nice ?.

Hey mate, you still running the Range?

I have had mine for about a year now and am loving it but have some dislikes with it such as:

1. the standard brakes, the lack of a gap adjuster is killing me - I see you have swapped yours out!
2. the stock derailleur, mine has developed some play - I see you have swapped this out as well
3. It really is a handful in the tight twisty stuff, not much I can do here - everything is a comprimise!
4. my steering block isn't working, as such when the bars go to the left it adjusts my suspension - trying to rectify this now as I only realised recently what was causing my suspension to mysteriously adjust.
5. I have swapped the rear out for a better rim after putting a big flat spot in it, I have seen a few 2020 Ranges with non-stock rears = seems like the standard rims are underspec'd.
6. I'm still running the Assegai's, I see you fitted Swalbe's -any good?

I added a piccy of me riding on our local trails, the Range just rails bumpy stuff.

Cheers,
Scott
