   Hi
   I am quite tempted by the reduced DW Turners that are offered at CRC.
   What are the main differences between the two model years and are they that significant?
   I have ridden the 5 Spot (which I loved)but not the Flux (I would be going for the Flux)anyone got any comments or feedback on the Flux?
   Is it just s shorter travel 5 Spot?
   Cheers
   Steve

   I've got a DW Flux 09 & love it.

   Go to youtube where Dave Turner explains the difference between 09 & 10.

   Its a coulour coded rear triangle & the cable guides on the down tube are individaully cable tided rather than the cable quide taking 2 cable/hose secured by one cable tie.

   Different colours
   Colour coded rear end
   Fully reamed seattube
   Extra weld on upper taco
   Tougher upper shock bushings
   Updated links that dont creak*
   Updated stainless(not alloy)DW hardware*

   None of it is really significant and the updated bits* can be had for free by mailing Turner direct.

   Duggie does that apply to the 5 Spot or all Turners? When you say mailing Turner do you mean UK dist Silverfish or Turner USA?

   All Turners apparently. My new Sultan has the changes mentioned apart from the fully reamed seat tube which still seems to be an issue.

   You mail Greg Wulf at Turner HQ and they mail the bits over for free.

   Thanks I'll drop him a line although I have no issues with mine, at the moment anyway.
