Hi,
I love the new Turbine components, I was thinking to get a purple Turbine bar for my new Vertex 29 frame nice!!.
By the way, ciao pizzaman, parli italiano? Fammi sapere:thumbsup:
ciao

Hi,
do you guys think that the new Turbine is better than a Thomson stem?
I would like to get the Race Face stem, but I was waiting for some reviews and some real weigth.
ciao

my mind, in the past "Thomson" was the better choice. CNC Machined and with great finish.
Race Face looked like a cheap Ritchey........But now i had to adjust my mind. The turbine looks beautiful with much more style special for a Rocky. :thumbsup:

copied from BA-Homepage:

* Beautiful new CNC machined finish
* Lighter than Thomson X4 and just as strong
* Light enough for XC but strong enough for AM

Hi Rocklanbiker,
do you have the Turbine seatpost and bar too? I'd like to know what you think about those.
By the way , what RM do you ride?
I was going to get my first RM frame ( Vertex 29 se) but unfortunally RM is out of them and so I went with a Kona
I really like RM but here in Florida there aren't too many deallers.
ciao

no, not yet. @ first i bought me a stem. I use it on my Blizzard Frame......We can`t get one turbine seatpost for that 26.8mm seattube. In the near future i buy me also the crank and the bar. If i want use a low riser or a classic flat ? i have no answer
I ride a Rocky Blizzard a Rocky Slayer and a Rocky Vertex :thumbsup:

ride on....

Really like RM stile.ciao

easily is realy differend !! But what counts is not only the weight. If you want light you have to take syntace F99 or tune. I`am not :nono:

I am the first to say that 20 or 50 grams do not change their lives, but if you add a whole become many, for me the reliability 'and the aesthetics are the priority

Thats right, his opinion I share with you :thumbsup:

Ehi guys,
what about the Turbine cranks, I'm about to build my new 29er and I really like the all Turbine components, I was thinking to go 2x10 . Any suggestions and any comments about the cranks performance?

Can´t say nothing about the performance of the crank, she has a very high Quality look.

Looks like RF are back to me, back up there with Thomson like the old XY stuff was.

 

[Rocklandbiker]

I`m thinking about an upgrade with titanium bolts ? What do you mean about that? Not to decrease the weight, just the look !
