I posted this in the Turner forum also but thought I would get some input from the non Turner dh'rs.
So.. the plan was to sell the DHR and Fox 40 for other reasons and then build up a mini dh/ park bike to play around with and do the local race series. The 40 has sold but the DHR is hanging around. I guess asking $1600 for the frame is just too much. I don't want to lose that much cash if I can.
I wanted to get a Transition TR250 for my dh/play bike but that may not happen. is it a bad idea to put a Fox 36 180 on the front of my DHR? 20mm less travel and 6mm difference in a2c. Will there be a notice difference in ride? I've only seen 1 picture of this done but no ride reports. Also, would a Cane Creek Double Barrel Air be a good idea? I'm not schooled in suspension design and how an air shock works with different frames
I would rather sell the frame than bastardize like this but this may be my only option
