Hi,
I have just bought a 2002 XCE from the classifieds here, thanks Kevin, and had it sent over here to England.
But a few queries....
It is a 2002 model with a Fox Vanilla RC shock- from reading here it will have the full 4" of travel?
The rocker arms have a small 'x' on their insides - does this mean that these are the standard rockers and not the later ones that'll give the 4" with a Romic combo?
So if I were to change the shock in the future, I would only get 3.6" by fitting, say, a 165mm Fox Float??
It has a 550lb spring. I weigh 11 stone, (150lb) and am a regular all-mountain rider - the Fox importers here in England (Mojo) can tune the shock but they recommend a 650lb spring, I emailed Turner, and Casey replied that 500-550lb is better for my weight - any advice would be appreciated
Finally, I think, do the latest spare gear hangers fit older bikes as well - as I need to order myself a spare and also for my mate with a pre-IS disc-mount RFX.
As a newbie to the world of Turners (never could afford one at UK retail prices), can I just say how informative this forum seems to be, and how refreshing it is that guys from Turner Bikes post here themselves - certainly says a lot about their belief in their product!
Cheers all for the advice gained so far!!
