2020 Norco Range Vlt C2 Fork Adjustment Issue

[Scott M]

Hey all,

I discovered this odd problem on my 2020 Norco Range VLT C2. We my bars turn all the way to the right it adjusts the compression on my fork because of the bump stop (see attached photos).

I only became aware of this recently when I tried to adjust my suspension and it was really hard to turn the adjuster because it had been wound in or out - I can't remember as I type this - to its extent.

Now this seems like an engineering issue that Norco missed when they designed the bump stop for the bike.

Has anyone else experienced this or has a solution other than "just do t turn the bars that far...".

A mate of mine has a Rocky Mountain altitude which has a great bump stop which I would love to use if it fit.

But I can't help but think Norco missed something here.

Cheers,
Scott

not totally sure from your photos but it looks like the compression dial misses the downtube anyway so maybe file or cut the bumper down by a few mm so that it does not hit it.

Good solution - nice and simple. Still I'm suprised it got by the Norco engineers.
