Has anyone out there ridden or seen or know anything about the Turner DHR. i'm thinking of building one up but want some assurance before forking out the cash.

DHD would be the man to see about that, theres a few guys out there with them. personally i know that they cant take a standard piggy back shock, with 8.5" inches of singlepivot travel.

rear spacing im not sure on? 150x 12 or 135 x10? always been one of my fav. race frames...

I got one (2002 model), love it, my first dual suspension bike too.

Have cracked it a few times but this bike has been around a bit (in drift 1 and in chosen line) so it's had a hard but good life.

Mainly what they ride like of they are real spongy, does anyone have trouble with the thing(not sure what they are called) that is attached to the shock.(mental blank) Cos it is out on the side in the open. Does it get smacked around. Pretty much just general rideability of the bikes. And what people reccomend setting them up with ie; forks, rim sets hubs and all that stuff

They're not a spongy bike, they ride quite light IMO. Don't go putting Monster Ts or something on them - it just wouldn't suit. Keep the weight down where you can and take advantage of their ability to "skim" over bumps. My reservoir hasn't been hit or damaged in 12 months of riding although it has some scratches from pedals in the shuttle truck.

I very highly recommend these frames, and I say that as a full price paying customer. I'd buy one again, no questions about it.

Toodles has pretty much summed it up.
I had a Keewee before my DHR and the main thing I noticed was that they feel super nimble and really chuckable.
Mine's an '04 and has a Romic shock, so I don't have the remote reservoir.

Reliability, the 04's sometimes cracked near the shock mount but my local welder man sorted that quick smart.
I'm not aware of that happening on the 05's or 06's.

Boxxer WCs would be great, I use '04 7" Boxxers with a Mojo kit and it feels unreal.

**Disclaimer: there's been a lot of talk lately about plugs on here, so be aware that I am NOT a sponsored Turner rider, but I have been known to rock up to the importers house and steal his beer. **
