Just the other day, David received an email from Turner Rider Tom Wehe, who had only good things to say about his new 5.Spot. Here is what Tom had to say:
Hi Dave,
Just a line to say hi and Thanks. Just got back from a ~400 mile single-track R&D trip sampling some of the best rides in the area. Moab, Fruita, CB all on board a 5 Spot which I barely got together before the trip.
You out did yourself on this one! Of course I expected nothing but happiness once I would point a Turner downhill but what surprised me the most was how well it climbed. And as you know the areas I went to have some hefty climbs in them! So pedal efficiency is definitely a 10 as well as climbing. Seems like out of the 3 "XC" bikes I have used of yours this one fits the best being an XL. 100mm stem w/ rised bars � no problem = sweet! Seems like going to the tapered headset system and the size bike I was using climbing as well as descending felt extremely predictable. Getting all educated about what's out there as far as headsets are concerned is quite interesting but the folks at Cane Creek gave me the lowdown � waiting on their angle headset now so I can play around a bit more. What might have contributed to the extreme happiness on my part is pairing the frame with the new White Bros Loop fork which seems to compliment the DW link as it reacts and feels the same way if you put the setting on max bleed as the rear. I know you are a Fox man but if you are interested I would love to get you in touch with the president of MRP since I believe you've got to try this set-up � let me know…
I'll send you more feed-back as I am riding the 5 S.
Hope all is well.
Happy Trails!!!
Tom
