    Needle Bearing Source for Turner DHR

    The part # of the needle bearings for the linkage on the DHR is B-812-OH. I thought other DHR owners might be interested in this since its hard to find the bearings that have the oil hole for the zerk fittings. You can buy them online here for about $5...

    Hub Bearing Sources

    After a particularly wet race the weekend before last, the bearings in my Ringle 12mm hub finally siezed up on me. I freed them up enough to race this weekend, but they need replacing. The bearings I need are 2 6902rs and 2 6002rs. Where should I get the bearings? I don't want to pay $10 each...

    5th Element vs. Pushed Vanilla RC (or other)

    I'm getting a new (used) shock to replace the vanilla r on my 2001 Yeti AS-X. Right now its between a used Vanilla RC with the push full race kit (tuned to a rider same weight and riding style) and a used 5th element, both $225. I am mainly upgrading to improve the pedalling performance with...

    Creak-Free Single Crowns?

    Right now I'm riding a 2001 Yeti AS-X (4-6" trailbike, not real burly like the later AS-X) with an 02' Shiver SC. Unfortunately the shiver is just about dead. Its starting to make creaking noises and oil is seeping out from under the crown leading me to believe the crown and or upper leg is...

    Shiver SC problems...

    I have a 2002 Shiver SC and at the junction beween the crown and upper legs I have been getting a gradual accumulation of dirt/oil after rides. Its kinda like what is left on the stanchions when seals start to go bad. I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem with this fork. It also...

    FSA K-Force DH Carbon Bar

    So I need a new handlebar for my hardtail because I switched it to a 31.8mm stem. On my Turner DHR I currently have an FSA DH-400 bar (400g), and I was considering just swapping that bar to my hardtail, then putting a FSA carbon DH bar on my DHR to save some weight (170g). Either that or I would...

    Buying a used 2003 DHR

    I've been getting more and more into racing recently and I've decided its time for my 2003 big hit expert frame to go in favor of a more race worthy rig. I've been offered a 2003 Turner DHR in trade, but I have a few concerns. First off is sizing. I'm 5' 10" and my big hit was a medium, I...

    Big Hit Geometry Question

    I've started racing collegiate DH on my 03' Big Hit Expert frame with custom build and I'm considering putting a BETD 26" stay kit on it. I can feel the 24" rear wheel slowing me down in alot of sections in comparison to my old Ellsworth Joker. I found a used BETD kit for $200. My question is...

    888r axle

    I just bought a 888r off someone on the bustedspoke buy and sell, but it did not include an axle. I am leaving for college on thursday morning, so ordering the part is out of the question. Will just about any 20mm axle fit the 888r? For example Boxxer, Psylo, Z1, Junior T, Super T, Etc. I...

    Lake Station Shoes

    Anyone here try the Lake Station or have any input on them? (http://www.lakecycling.com/freeride.html) They are pretty cheap at $45 MSRP and supposedly designed specifically for freeriding. Any other suggestions for shoes to run with my flat pedals?

    This can't be good- Big Hit

    So I was just getting my 2003 Big Hit Expert ready for Killington today and I noticed something very bad. I was checking the drivetrain and noticed the hanger was bent, so i pulled it off and i went to put a new one on, but it wouldn't fit. The dropout was spread out so the space was too large...
