I am exactly 5'7" and I ride a small Turner DHR, I really like the way the bike rides and I prefer smaller bikes. With that said if I was to do it all over again I would go up to a Medium frame.
got mine yesterday and it will be installed on the bike tonight. Since I live in Houston it's first real ride will be Bootleg in two weeks, which is nice because the DVO guys are going to be there and have already said they will help me set it up. Will post pics later.
I actually have experience riding both shocks on my Turner DHR, it came with the RC4 and I was in the process of selling my Zerode with the CCDB. I kept the CCDB and sold the Zerode with the RC4. The CCDB to me feels like a much better shock, the small bump sensitivity couldn't be duplicated...
thanks for the advice guys, I was leaning towards the tracer myself but my friends shop was the one selling the slash and I was getting a good amount off. The dixon was more of the wildcard pick.
Hello all, I have a question for those that own one of the above mentioned bikes or perhaps have ridden a couple of them. This will be my trail/enduro racing bike for a couple of years. Price wise they are all about the same, the trek being $100 more than the other two. I will be using a 2012...
Here are two quick pics, I was lazy and haven't moved the front tire over to my DH front wheel, so what you see is my green I9 that goes to my enduro bike.
I just finished building up the frame that I bought, it was Taylor's old G1 frame. Extremely happy with it, these bikes ride really well. Mine is all saint drivetrain and brakes and Fox 40 hybrid air up front.
I am sure you can find a suitable rear spring, but even if you could find a x-soft spring for the domain no women who is 115lbs wants to lift a 7.5lb fork. It would be much easier using an air fork like the boxxer air or even a Talas 180. I know this because my wife is 108 lbs and setting up...
sorry to hear about that, I hope you get your bike back. I am extremely paranoid about this happening to me, to the point where I don't even feel comfortable leaving my bike on the hitch rack while I take a piss a gas station.
I think there is more to that equation than just a simple HA change. Spare parts availability, leverage ratios, axle paths and not to mention that a lot of those older frames came with a straight normal head tube. The market on used frames right now is so good that why bother taking a chance...
it actually works pretty well, I haven't ridden on it but it feels like a really soft spring is in there. Rebound and compression are unaffected by this, considering how hard it is to get a hold of Marzocchi right now this will be the way it will be run.
