I might still have an axle if anyone requires...
'13 Turner DHR sizing/ reviews?

i never said it was a good idea, just an idea
I have a large
@StiHacka Do you have a #550? I was gunu snag a Ti but they are more expensive than I thought.
Let me check. I got a bunch of springs with frames/shocks I bought in the past.
If you dont have one, looks like I have to go through L.B.S to get a spring. everything is out of stock online ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
just curious, how come?
Probably because due to being designed for a coil it will:
A, not have enough progression mid-stroke leading to wallow which will make you run it with higher pressure so it's harsh, and
B, too much end-stroke progression, which when added to the air-shock progression will mean extremely harsh travel over chunky stuff at speed.
It's really not a good idea to mix this stuff up IME.
It's the nature of any air shock. There are some tweaks that can be made to the curve, but the general shape doesn't change.
Loosey goosey middle middle stroke leverage ratio + loosey goosey middle stroke air shock = fantastic sit down riding at 5 mph. Not much else.
The heaviest I got is 450#, sorry man!
No worries bud, thanks for the look!
Bump for server sake?
I love her to death but she's getting dated. I feel like I would benefit from a larger sized frame. And maybe...possibly.. just maybe.. benefit from 650b
Looking at a Large '15 AL Devinci Wilson.. Can anyone shine a light on those frames?

I've been thinking the same and the Wilson is up there on what'd replace it.
My medium frame just feels way too small now. And I'm only 5'8.
Know of anywhere that has the actual measurements of these frames? They seem to have disappeared from the internets.
I’ve been hitting my 2015 DHR hard of late. I am liking it more and more. I’ve been to Platte,Killington, Windham so far this year. I think I got the BOS suspension figured out . Now I have to figure a way to have it serviced at seasons end.
I’m going to Paris at the end of August maybe I’ll take it with me .

So I ran some numbers compared to a '16 Gambler Large VS DHR Large
The Gambler is approx 1"+ reach, 32mm longer wheelbase, 1mm+ BB height (lul), 1"+ stack, and 1" shorter chainstay length

Oh man, if you're considering this as your upgrade, just do it. You're in for a treat.
If it helps, I'm your height (6'0) and large is like a glove.
Some pics of mine here.
It's okay to be 650b-curious
Unlikely you'll be able to get much for the DHR, I parted mine out May last year, selling frame/fork/wheels separately. I think I got $600 for the frame.
I'd post up all the geo numbers I collected when new frame hunting, but I was coming from an XL DHR and looking for ~455mm reach on my new frame.
I don't have much to contribute to this thread other than to say that I was riding at MSA yesterday and saw two guys on DHRs. Man, they still look good in the wild(the bikes, not the guys). Not as shiny as more recent plastic bicyclette, but the classic design and the quality of the craftmanship makes them look intemporal, especially the raw ones.
Yeah I get pretty giddy reading about it..not getting any bites on the 1700$ selling
p.s is that last picture the drop on schyler?
thats whats so tough getting rid of it.. I absolutely love all the components on her too, boxxer WC, vivid.. the suspension has been feeling unreal. being in welding and cnc is another reason why I kept trying to keep the aluminum clear coated
VITAL thought it was pretty trick too https://www.facebook.com/VitalMTB/photos/a.214534811059.164976.127066331059/10154077339066060/?type=3&theater
But now a days, I cant just frame swap. I need all updated components.
....so thats that : /[/img]
shite.... yeah ill part it out if i get no bites.
why can’t you frame swap? would you need to rebuild anything other than possibly a rear wheel? and mabye a lower bearing cup? that’s all i had to do when going from 2010 to 2018 bike...
I honestly dont know. wouldn't I need new lowers for 650b fitment? 10/7/8 whatever the fuck speed shifters? New shock for this bullshit metric sizing? Weird ass axle sizes and lengths ( which you stated )
i’d assume your new frame would come with a new rear shock. beyond that, as obama says, if you like your other shifty bits and such, you can keep your shifty bits and such. i guess i future-proofed my uzzi a while back when i needed a new front shock and got a 27.5 front shock and just stuck a 26 wheel in it. but a lot of 26 shocks can clear a 27.5 wheel, i think...anyone else have better intel on this front?
I moved my whole drivetrain over from DHR to GT Fury. It was in good enough condition and I was happy with my 9 speed cassette mated to X9 shifter and Zee RD (I think I bought an adapter from @big-ted) . I needed new fork, wheels, tyres and headset. I did swap front chainring down to a 34T from 36T too after a few rides...
Check Ebay for wheels and fork, I paid $365 for a brand new set of DT Swiss FR1950 wheels which came with 150/157 rear endcaps plus XD driver and $600 for brand new Boxxer Team.

Nah it's in Queenstown Bikepark (Hobbit track I think)
I know there's a huge DHR following on RM, but I've spent a lot of time on the DW-DHR, and the Gambler (even the '13-14 26", let alone the new one) beats it in virtually every aspect. If you're comparing the 650b Gambler to the DW-DHR then it's not even a contest - which is why I said you're in for a treat.
I buy a DH lift ticket every season and I get the drift you're the same sort of guy, if that's the case then you'll be very happy. I think 650b makes the bikeparks more fun too, cuts down fatigue and makes it faster to get into the swing of things.
Enjoy!
In the mean-time, I have 35mm Havoc AL bars with 20mm rise... and I feel hunched on the flow trails and such...
Would getting bars with higher rise (like 35mm rise) make a positive difference? I especially feel alot of my weight forward on the chunky steeps.

yep, or a taller stem, or more spacers under your upper crown. Had the same issue on my GT. A little more rise and I was more comfortable.
I think I was using the taller crown with 30mm rise bars on mine.
