Turner Rail
- Thread starter dv8cam
- Start date
I don't have one yet but, I'm figuring out what components to get and once I've figured that out I'll be ordering parts. Anyway, here's what I'm thinking for a beefy dirt jumper that can be used on the trails as well as urban.
mainitou swinger(if possible) or romic
sherman breakout or breakout plus
possibly a 24" in the rear with a 3.0 tire
fsa big fat pig 1.5
mrp guide
race face bb
race face north shore cranks
atom labs aircorp pedals
ringle hubs
maxxis tires?
not sure about rims yet
azonic aggro stem
azonic wf bars
hayes brakes w/ goodridge lines
shimano xt drivetrain (sram chain)
thompson post
wtb saddle
odi lock ruffian grips

Froggy, on this board, is having his 04 Rail painted as I write this. He should have it in about a week. Ring him up, he will give you the lowdown.
damn i was going to buy one of those this summer too 
And split tail is code forOriginally posted by Acadian
Soon you'll have the Split Tail
Yeah, today I actually called my boss up and asked him if I sold my incoming evil he'd preorder me an '04 Rail in large....only to find out they're GONE! :angry:
hmmm, maybe, but i rode RFXs before the big bikes and really want another turner. Im already getting a Soverign and some Soul Clycles frame this summer so i can wait til fall for the rail
A guy up here got one, two days ago. ( along my 5S

hahaha, i didnt say i was buying them
There is one Large Rail on the wall at The Bike Company in Lake Forest, CA. It is not sold. It just became available yesterday. Call Sven or Tony at (949) 470-1099 soon, and it could be yours.

I wouldn't be able to afford one right now @ retail, and a shop won't let one go for cost, so I'm out until Turner makes more.
Hey Luc, that was my bro Darren. He waited over a year for it with nothing but hassles. It's a sick ass bike, but I would never buy one on G.P.
He had been waiting for Turner to make a slalom bike for years, but ordered the Rail about 18 months before he got it.Originally posted by Acadian
believe it or not, he told me more like 3 years!!I didn't say anything...but I was like "ya sure!!"
what do you mean by G.P.?

Fo' real B. If you're putting a 7" fork on that, also consider them BB height. I thought about it until I realized it would bring it WAY up...like 16" prob or something huge.
With 7" fork and a 24" in the rear it would be sooooo slack. Perhaps try and 4" or 5" fork and dual 26" or 24" wheels for a more optimal dirtjumping (and street riding) experience. Trust me, you will enjoy it more in the end
Hmm,
Rail with Push RC in the rear, 24in trailpimps w/hookworms and a new Marzo 66. Do i see the ultimate urban assualt vehicle :devil:

No.
Well I jut finished building mine yesterday.
It definitely is pretty slack with a DJ1 (03). I will have to bring it back to 100 or so mm (instead of 130). Rigth now it sits at 67 degres with a 2.2 front and a 2.1 rear tire.
I guess after the fork travel change it should sit at ~ 68 degres.
I can't wait to try it!

sweet lookin bike, but D3.1s on a short travel bike
Yeah I have a sick way of hitting jumps smoothly:Originally posted by Acadian
Emmanuel is probably smooth as ice - the way I case jumps I would destroy those wheels in one session!!
1- pedal real fast,
2- get close to the lip,
3- puss out and stop before you get any air.
I've applied that approach for years and never dented a rim
Seriously though, those rims come ffom my old DH bike and are dented to hell. they still inflates UST tires perfectly as long as they are single wall (DH tires don't really fit any more as the side wall is too stiff to countour the bumps in the inflation process
)I love these rims!
Mani, je previens. celui la je place d'ores et deja une option pour le rachat en seconde main ...
Le temps de terminer l'unif ici et de rentrer en Belgique, ca te laisse 2-3 ans pour l'affuter ...
Merci d'avance
