from Florida Date Reviewed: September 3, 2003 Strengths: Everything works like it should. Turner paid special attention to items like where the rear derailer makes contact with the frame (other Horstlink frames let the derailer hit on the link). The disc mounting, shifter/brake cable routing, and other touches were well thought out also. Weaknesses: The derailer hanger is replaceable which is great, except that it’s too thin. Turner made an earlier one that was a little more durable. I've been through 3 of these. However, Turner is very good about selling you a replacement unit at a reasonable price when needed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Markham Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $4000.00 Purchased At: Racer's Edge & Broward Bike Similar Products Used: AMP B5. Not much of a comparison other than the fact that they are both 4-link suspension types. The Turner is on the opposite end of the durability scale from the AMP. Bike Setup: Marzocchi Z1 FR SL (130MM), XTR, Hopes, Chris Kings, and Azonic. Racer's Edge was the Turner dealer & Broward Bike built it up.
