wow you guys are making me puke

armchair engineers making assumptions on the structural integrity and performance of suspension components and design all based on a one dimensional computer rendering of the frame and a couple of internet interview snippets.

go outside and ride your bikes, this is rediculous.

and if you're an actual engineer and not of the armchair variety, you should be even more ashamed of yourself

Agreed. Ahh the interblag!

I'll give my opinion but I charge 90~150 per hr . Based on the pixilation and resolution of my computer screen I think they'll ride nice!

You know one reason why DW-Link bikes are so popular is the internet accessibility of Dave Weigle? I believe the same can be said for Dave Turner.

Hm this seems to be like trying to explain a rubix cube to an infant. I'll enjoy my armchair here at work, thanks. Over it.

As much as I would like to be fond of it since I typically am of Turners work, it still looks like a disaster...

 

[dropmachine]

You know who you should work for? NASA. They could pay you a million a year, fire all the other engineers, and just have you point out all the engineering flaws in space craft simply by looking at doodles on a cocktail napkin.

 

[Kanye West]

They couldn't fire all the other engineers, because then I would have nobody to bag on. Otherwise, excellent idea.

actually this is more like you explaining the structural faults of the rubix cube by looking at a picture of one side of it.

what you should really get over is yourself.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

And I thought I was an asshole in the Staccato thread....

Don't worry, someday you'll understand a rubix cube. Its not that complicated, really.

 

[kidwoo]

With a single pivot, the width (stance) of the pivot and the contact diameter of the bearing is what will make it stiff.

Looks pretty wide on this one............and with TWO contact points on the front triangle.


You're still just going off a drawing. These don't exist yet and you're making claims that actually do have some merit but without seeing the execution, none of us knows jackshlt yet...........including you. Turner knows what he's doing. He's never made a bad dh bike.


I'm in mammoth next weekend. Let's wrestle hockey sticks.

 

[jonKranked]

Not really. If they're designed and tempered right they shouldn't be flexing a bit, at least nowhere in the same order of magnitude as a rotating/sliding interface. Sometimes they do though in a poor/weak design. Other times from fatigue.

Wow. You really think that metal components aren't supposed to flex???

 

[Transcend]

Ok had enough.

We get it, you don't like it. Based off of a computer graphic that shows nothing. Awesome. Now knock it off or posts will start disappearing.

this thread is more full of enginerds who don't ride their bike then any I have ever seen on ridemonkey. I have been moving the past 2 weeks and have touched my bike more then most of you. Go ride one, they're fun. Lets wait and see what dw and turner come up with together, they both have a good enough track record (have either ever come up with a bad application of a "bike"?) that I have no doubt the end result will be fun to ride. Now lets wait and see what they come up with

I was riding a 95 gt steel hardtail with a shockster bolt on suspension rear end and lawill leader fork all last week........with a bob trailer. Beat that.

 

[Supa8]

Glad to see Turner is back to a true small size with lots of standover ( 28" ). I am sure the bike will be well thought out and ride well. March of 09 makes it a bit tight though to plan for the 09 season. Right on the hairy edge of when most want their bikes to be in.

But did you do the 30 foot step up?

 

[kidwoo]

But did you do the 30 foot step up?

Had I seen one, I might have been tempted.


I did jump it over a 4-5 foot high stage that had two approach ramps spaced about 20 feet across (sans bob trailer)........I was skurrd

You want to talk about flex.....those leader forks were SKETCH.

 

[dump]

Always wanted to try out that fork. A couple years ago, I saw a guy get off the Larkspur ferry with one bolted to the front of a yeti arc fro... straight out of 1995, complete with ringle everything in ano blue, and pristine full xtr circa 95. Stunned.

 

[MorewoodKid]

Got some shots of the Turner from Eurobike...

also got a few of the new Bos stuff: new colour on the Idylle Pro and a few details: www.rushsports.co.za

Will post some more stuff as and when I can... wireless is so bad here!

Enjoy your armchair work.

BTW, what's the difference between a turner 6-pack and a ventana of similer travel? The 6 pack has a MUCH longer linkage, and yeah, it flexes more. It's still a pretty rigid bike, but the ventana is stiffer yet due to it's shorter linkage.

One is made by Turner, the other is made by Ventana.

funny you should mention that. this is DW's *actual* resume that he submitted to them before he got his super-secret military job:

 

[dropmachine]

Yeah, but you forgot to mention he never actually touched the pen with his hands. AAAAALLL mind control.



The weird thing was, he was drawing a puppy.

PS just a technicality I thought string theory required 11 dimensions?


Edit, my bad. I got confused with M-Theory.

command and conquer red alert!!

best game ever!

the skirmishes were where it was at. had to get the ore trucks out and make you cash so you could buy some sick stuff like teslicoils to zap enemies, spy planes, bombs, soldiers.

good times

ehh comrades?

i saw that, im downloading the original one for free, haha.

time to get revenge on the "follow and kill the spy" level i could never beat!

technically if you hit a guard rail and were in a bus, part of the bus would still be on the road as guardrails are close to roads. . .

It is a myth that Dave Weagle invented the Internet. However, the Internet was invented so that Dave Weagle could minister to his many followers.

When Dave Weagle and Sam Hill was joined for the first time, the universe was created by their love.

 

[mushik]

ok...after reading 24 (25 yet?) pages I have made my decision:

1. I will only post once in this thread
2. I will not sell my Sunday
3. I will buy the new DHR
4. I will ride them both and see which one I like more
5. I must win the lottery
6. I should go out and ride more
7. I shouldn't have spent all this time reading this useless thread
8. I gotta get some sleep

over&out

Wow and I though the Chuck Norris ones were funny. I nearly pissed my pants laughing so hard, had to shut my office door. Speaking of Chuck Norris; I wonder what would happen if two such great forces of nature where to collide??

 

[dropmachine]

Chuck Norris and Dave are friends. After their meeting, Dave grew a beard, and Chuck accelerated more smoothly.

 

[CrabJoe StretchPants]

The new bowflex will utilize the DW link.

I didn't know that DW and Chuck Norris were related. Did you?
