what should i do.

[atb]

i found a very small crack in my dhr. turner said that thay wont have eny size small dhr's untill the end of the year. but thay said i could get a size small highline. i want to race this summer, panorama is in a week. but i also like to do alot of freeride. should i just ride the crack untill the end of the summer, then warrenty for a highline?

[SEKTER13]

Riding a cracked frame is usually pretty sketchy. Where is the crack?

[cameron]

the highline looks pretty sick andrew. can you ride a highline till they get the dhr's in stock?

[Rosscofat]

is it in the same spot that other guy said his was.?

[Midas]

get a medium you arnt that small it would fit fine

[corey@nsmb.com]

send them a pic of you riding their DH RACE bike off the roof of Rochester School...and ask if the crack is really a manufacturing defect.

Like your quick wit, Corey - your posts throughout these BB are among my favs - it's gold, Jerry, gold...

Speaking of favs, Wayne Parsons knows his stuff damn well, I printed some of his gems and put it in my maintenance book as reference material.

Huh? Like what?

I should tell you sometime about how to keep underwear smelling fresh after several days of continous wear (according to Jason Winters).

the production model looks a lot cleaner.

[M@M]

its a single pivot right? i cant even suggest what to do. would you miss the extra travel?

[Dantes Inferno]

andrew, screw whis tomorrow, come ride cypress. And I got that $40, when you want even though I dont think u deserve it.

My mom wants to kill you, she saw you drive into my car when it was parked out front.

[atb]

ride it

next time dont park your car in the midle of the road.

why not cypress on sunday?

[bighitter]

i would love to compare those to bikes. i'm curious if the loss of the horst link would equal a loss in performance. the highline looks like it could be an awesome do-it-all bike.

even though i have ridden neither, i wish they would have kept the horst link.

[Dantes Inferno]

you didnt have to push my car with the E brake on when it was parked out front either.

[atb]

talk to julien about that.

[Dantes Inferno]

why, you did it.

[big ben]

I'd take the highline over the dhr personally. you only lose .5" of travel, and it looks better for more all around freeriding, including your schoolhouse hucks.

[Dantes Inferno]

But hes a downhill racer and is as good as wade simmons. Highline is clearly not enough bike.

[bighitter]

would you miss the extra travel?
it's only a 1/2" of travel differance but the highline weighs about 2 lbs less, which could be nice

[atb]

it's only a 1/2" of travel differance but the highline weighs about 2 lbs less, which could be nice

the biggest difference is that the dhr has a 3" stroke shock, and the highline only has a 2.5".

Karpiel armageond.
or stabprimo with avlanche links.

[biking_cam]

dude you sure seem to break a lot of stuff... That Highline looks pretty sick

you sure about that? although a few people on the net are running a 2.5 it will only net 7.2 of travel. i believe to get the 8 you'll be running a 2.75?

i could be wrong though?

i know, i dont know why i break so much stuff. i'm 5'5" and i only weight 150lbs. and i can destroy i decent fork in less then 3 rides.

i think i need a scream with monster t's, mabey some duel 24's, 3" gazzi's, bmx cranks...

Well, don't be too modest, bud - your technical advice is usually bang on - i.e. 5th shock, tires, etc. I could never get the 5th to feel "right", no matter what I tried, once it was Parsons'd it was like a new, different shock. Keep'em coming.:fu:

[littled]

stop riding like hack you scrub and maybe u will be able to ride one bike for a month without whining about cracks and parts

[Dantes Inferno]

Are you a lafarge kid?

[connor]

noooo you have to keep the Turner, so we can be like a gang..

Where's it cracked?

it's cracked on the shock mount peice right where it meets the top tube'ish peice.

i might take a pic latter.

Dude, I think you have answered your own question. Picture the shock mount piece snapping off after a big landing. Bike comes up, bike goes down, shock compresses, mounts snap, and you keep going down head first.

I would not risk it as is.

i cant see that peice snaping off. theres a lot of metel there.

and i think i need to clean my bike.

[Hack On Wheels]

I have a hard time thinking it would snap off, but then, why is it cracking in the first place? It must be under a lot more load than is apparent.

Its all the stress from running the damn super monsters.

[Midas]

warranty it for a medium.....

[Hack On Wheels]

Warranty it for a medium and then if you don't like the medium, once you break it they might have some smalls in stock.

[atb]

When I bought this bike I looked at every DH bike out there. And one of the main reasons I picked this one is the size. I’m 5'5" and I like a bike that fits on the smaller side. Most size small DH bikes are around a 17" seat tube and a 21-22" top tube. That’s the size my giant DH team was, and I found it to be a little big. The dhr is a 15" seat tube and a 20.3" top tube. And it fit perfectly. I also picked the dhr because of the low leverage ratio, 1.5” head tube, single pivot with linkage design, and the remote res on the DHX 5.0.

I wanted to use the dhr for two race seasons. I think I’ll just wait until the end of the summer then decide if I should take the highline of wait for the size small dhr.

[Supervokes]

Mmmm having seen it that's a tough call. Appears to be strongly supported on the bottom still. Looks more of a frame flexing crack than an impact crack.

** Sweet remote reservoir DHX though!!!

[Supervokes]

Hey is your S turner really smaller than an XS Giant Team DH??? I thought the Giants were the smallest DH bike available?

[atb]

i had a size small giant, not the extra small. i think the xs giant is a 14.5" with a 20 or 21" top tube.

[connor]

I have a med. DHR, I think the med. would be too big for him. Andrew's just a little guy, who happens to be hard on stuff. That's a weird place for a crack. I would definetly be careful..

yeah, i'm the heaviest 150lbs rider in the world.


did you check your frame yet.

[connor]

yeah, it seems fine, but that's cause I'm smoove like buttah.. (oh, and I don't do school roof drops.)

[APT]

Just my $0.02, get the Highline.

[Midas]

hm didnt realize the smalls were so small my bad. I would stick to that frame, watch the crack closley, keep in contact with turner and send it in for warranty when it either gets too sheisty to ride or they get some smalls in (which ever comes first)
