I've had 3 spots,2003 hl,2008tnt and 2009dw,the dw is the best,snappy for a 140mm bike,swallows square hits,rails single track,climbs like a goat!
Got a 150 15QR float on it,also have a talas 36 that makes the bike feel more bomb proof.

Just get a flux,great fast bike! 😀

Just an idea at the moment,swaped the talas 36 on my spot for a float 32 150 but still have the 36 fork.

No body got one?

The DH track has now had a gate and padlock put on with a private sign! due to the amount of people turning up it,it was no longer locals only.

Try Silverfish or email Turner.

I have had,hl,tnt and now have a dw spot,the dw picks speed up faster,no squat on climbs and is better on square hits.The dw frames have put weight on but you can not tell as they pedal so well,i also find with the lower bb they are faster on singletrack. I also have a 08 Flux but don't use it much as the spot pedals so well.

TLR,yes i Know all about push rockers,5.1,5.3,140mm etc,but Turner does not believe in a adjustable rockers!I have tested a few adjustable rocker bikes and find them ok but not perfect!

TLR iam sure Turner can afford the HL but the DW is better,he also does not like adjustable travel settings!The DW Turners aren't the best looking but Nicolais are just ugly!

should've bought a Nicolai, unfortunately folks………….
Why?

My 5th Turner and the best,150mm float 15q/r on the front.Climbs well and blasts down.

90mm stem is a bit short,i would give Paul Hewet a go!

I had to give up with the road bike as i was in a lot of pain,no problem on the mountainbike,i have arthritis in the hips + sciatia!When i used to ride on the road i got set up by Paul Hewitt well worth the money,no neck or back pains.

:(Fair doo’s, Tetley Smooth may not be my drink of choice but it is fairly reliable. If it’s on you know what you are getting. Bit like a bottle of Bud

Both s**t! 🙄

I would check with Turner before you do it,they had problems when they anodised frames due to issues with the tolerance with the bushings,1 in 3 frames failed!

No creaks,its about 2months old,my 3rd spot.

White turners,so common!

My 08 Flux,very fast trail bike,also have a spot.

Yeti ASR
Trek Fuel EX8
Both at the demo weekend at Wheelbase in Stavely……….Morning ride over Garburn, afternoon tour of Kentmere.

…………so which bike won????

Trek fuel EX8!What about the Whyte hardtail?

Yes,160mm talas with the 20mm bolt through,run it at 130mm most of the time with the 160 on the downs.Turner does not encourage it as you can flair the head tube( the DW model has been alterd to take 160mm forks)i don’t abuse the frame fork with large jumps but i like the 36 for its stiffness and tracking.I also have a Talas 32 but it just feels better with the 36.

Came across a couple riding at Whinlatter with their dog,the dog got in my way on one of the switchbacks much to the owners amusement!
As much as i like dogs,trail centres are not the place for them!

My Turner Flux with a mix of sram xo and xtr.

The Fox 36 is a good match,i have a 36 Talas on my 5 spot,if i had a RFX i would use a float 36.What sort of price did you get the frame for?

The RFX needs a 160mm fork!

I’ll 2nd Pye,had a great time got the worst hangover ever!One of those places that you stay longer than planned,just look out for the snakes!

What frame did you used to have?do you use both shock positions + what fork have you got on it?
I have a 5spot and have had a go on the new DW spot but have yet to try the Tracer!

I wonder how long they have had the forks in stock!
