Is it normal for the bike to clunk when I turn the handlebars all the way to the right or left. I see these metals blocks that hit. Are they supposed to have some kind of rubber bumper of some sort? Bought the bike used so not sure if it's missing anything or if the metal clunk is normal.
You will head a noise when the fork stop hits the frame. But if you are getting noise before that, or noises when riding it would be a good idea to check the streering head bearings.

Just when locking the forks to the side. Or when walking the bike to the final location and turning wheel all the way. Guess it's normal then. I'm new to these bikes. Thanks!
