I ran a Blackspire Dewlie for a while,
now I have an E13 DRS on two of my bikes.
while most who use MRP for DH like it for that purpose, fewer seem to like it for FR or technical riding where the plates and boomerang can be bent quite easily.
the E13 DRS is smooth and quiet. that's...
the Space Mesa Road Gap has all the details of a proper tranny. the big deal is wind and of course, bike attitude while dropping the full 100'.
as to the earlier Qs,
Bender landed Moreno Valley safely. Not quite as styley as Wade Simmons did, but he sure landed it safely without injury...
nice stout rear linkage bits. should provide a good steady vert path for the wheel.
needle bearings at the pivots in the rear assembly?
who did the CNC work, who did the welding? all in-house? whose tubing are you using? just curious.
whatever you say. okay? whatever you say.
(pathetic, really)
(you miss the more obvious point that Turner isn't marketed as Horst Link Hero. the DHR is not Horst Link. nor is the Rail. nor is the Highline.)
(but armchair engineers will continue to whine over irrelevancies)
"more profit"? what does that mean?
are you implying that the only reason for this move is to widen the gulf between value received and price charged & paid?
have you considered that maybe, just maybe, Dave Turner is tired of paying a license fee to Tony Ellsworth when Tony didn't do...
really?
name another frame that RIDES LIKE a Turner.
if you name anything but a Knolly V-Tach, I'd say your body awareness and perceptiveness need some work.
Turners ride a certain way because of the mix of design elements that Dave Turner provides.
the ride is NOT simply becaue of "horst link" and those who are scaring themselves into idiocy at this news should be ashamed of the COMPLETE lack of insight in their perspective.
if the only thing...
Kanter,
you need to get over yourself. YOU DO NOT SET NOEL'S PRICING.
you make a salary in the upper 10% of all Montanans, I'd wager.
quit being such a grabby yuppie and buy something for its quality, rather than for its showiness.
man, you can be a right arse sometimes...
and to put Noel's post into perspective:
I have owned 3 big bikes, SC Bullit ... Banshee Scream ... Knolly VTach.
While the Knolly has the heaviest frame of the three,
all 3 of my big bikes have weighed 40-43 lbs.
My VTach is right in there at 43 lbs. I could pare some weight by...
I just swapped a 36 VAN RC2 onto my 6-Pack, removing the '05 Sherman Firefly Plus (SPV Evolve, 150mm travel) that was on it.
I also have a 888 RC on my big bike, so I know generally what the 66 RC feels like.
I would say that the 36 VAN is a better fork if you're not shuttling, because its...
