Man you can talk some crap. What about the people who jump on it and go "wow this pedals awesome, it must be because it's a Turner!"? Talk about building straw men, that was the worst argument I've seen for weeks, and on Farkin that's saying something!Im not really "resisting" change. My point is (and i think its completely valid and true) that turners generally always ride awesome (as DW points out, when he designed the sunday the DHR was his benchmark) and they are engineered really well. The DW link camp is going to benefit massively out of this alliance, more then turner will IMO. Muppets will ride a turner dw link for the first time and will truely beleive the riding experience is all because of the dw link because "the dw link is the best suspension design in the universe, i read it on ridemonkey and mtbr" and forget that geometry and build quality are (more IMO) important.
Sure, turner will sell more bikes and for the time being the bikes they sell will be the most sought after, but what happens when turner stop using the DW link? Nothing last's forever, look what is about to happen to iron horse. Helped build up the DW link brand (if you can say that....) then cast aside. Hope turner doesn't go the same way, time will tell, enjoy it while it last's i guess.
What you seem to be deliberately missing is that Turner now have a quantifiably better suspension design than they used to, and instead trying to find every possible speculative reason to be negative about it, which again reinforces my comment that you are simply anti-Weagle. Cast aside? ahahah - do you have any idea why the contract was terminated with IH (but not with Ibis, Pivot, or Indy Fab)? Possibly the same business decisions that led to several of their prominent forum-using long-time employees to quit the company? Are you aware of just how badly IH is shooting itself in the foot right now? They have gotten rid of their entire dealership network (at least in America) and are now selling through a SINGLE online outlet that just so happens to be owned by the son of the guy who owns IH. Who on earth would want to be associated with that?
Seriously dude your post was point blank retarded.
