New Turner Flux Prosthesis!

Flux, Interesting Story, Mountain Bikes, Racing, Turner News Comments Off

Jul 272012

Yes you heard right! Aaron Dunford of Fusion Peak Professional Cycle Fitting designed and built a custom prosthesis that is ergonomic and individually tailored to allow competitive cyclist Gerard Cushan to ride more naturally improving his comfort and performance. And a Turner Flux mountain bike frame was used to provide for the components of this new prosthesis.

Gerard’s right leg was amputated just below the knee as a child. Aaron’s skills,
including a strong understanding of biomechanics and cycling position and the
ability to develop and build a working prototype would soon lead to a completely
new and totally custom prosthesis for Gerard. [..Read More..]

Thanks to Aarons hard work and a medley of Turner Flux components, Gerard is on his way to a better and more competitive cycling future. Although Turner Bikes really had no part to play in this story, we are very happy to see one of our frames being recycled for such an amazing project.

Axle Included! A 142×12 DT-Swiss Aluminum RWS to be specific.

The Turner Flux, 5.Spot, and Sultan all come with the 142×12 DT Swiss Aluminum RWS thru axle. Instead of a regular 5 mm quick release axle, the 12 mm thru bolt offers an ironclad connection to the frame which only adds to the already infamous lateral rigidity of Turner frames. Never will that wayward root or rut threaten to alter your path so easily again! The RWS thru bolt system combines the advantages of a fixed thru axle with the ease of use of a standard quick release.

2011 Turner Bikes Inter-Bike Booth

Interbike was an amazing success for TURNER SUSPENSION BIKES. When we thought Interbike was dying, we were wrong.

With our existing quality and added features for 2012, the TURNER booth had a steady flow of dealers and distributors visiting to see all our models at Interbike.

At TURNER we stress the importance of every detail that matters in building, riding, and living mountain bikes. These details are embodied in our 2012 designs from the tubing, commissioned new suspension, detailed new cables guides, thru-axles, larger headtube and new sublime anodized colors.

All of our improvements come from tireless R & D, more miles ridden and countless conversations with TURNER riders. We are excited about our 2012 product line and we are delighted to say the entire line of TURNER bikes was received positively at Interbike.

The importance and emphasis on every detail of TURNER SUSPENSION BIKES will give you a great riding experience.

We want to extend a big thanks to everyone who stopped by the TURNER booth to say hi!

Lj doing his thing, making Turner Dealers Happy...

Riding bucket of blood in Cumberland

After racing Downieville I spent a week on Vancouver Island checking out the local trails. The riding was amazing it made the trails back home seem more like highways.

: Heading up the Garbonzo express for practice

: Im pretty sure this ment the pump track was closed

: Stopped in squamish for food had a sweet view of the Chief

The Enduro was one of the coolest racing experiences I have ever had. Saturday was a short time trial on black comb to decide the starting order of a five stage race on Sunday. We were told results would be posted a few hours after the finish which turned into a email sent out the next morning. I was pretty curious as to how I did. I felt like I had a pretty good run but knew that I was up against a very talented field of riders. I thought about this all night and was up early to check for results. It was like Christmas except when I got up there were still no presents under the tree. The results finally came in while I was getting ready. I pulled them up and looked at them in disbelief. First was Brain Lopes, Second was Nicolas Vouilloz, Third Remy Absalon and Fourth me. I couldn’t believe it these were the guys that I have watched in movies as a teenager and thought that I could only dream of going that fast. What a day! Not only did i get to meet some of the best riders in the world, but i was actually racing with them. We raced five stages that day not knowing any times or results until the end of the last stage. In the end this is how it shook down for me.

Stage 1 18th, Stage 2 14th, Stage 3 4th, Stage 4 17th, Stage 5 13th, Overall 12th.

Complete results

Oregon Super-D Series #2 – Bend

Oregan Super-D #2 Bend Podium Shot

Going into my fourth race of the season, I recognized that lots of practice time is imperative to being competitive in enduro events. To prepare for Bend, I arrived four days before race day to begin practicing and learning the course. The course was very flat and pedally and obviously catered to XC racers. On race day, I had a solid start but held back in the early turns, knowing that they had been blown out in practice the day before. After I made it through the log ride and the few drops in the course, I knew I could start to really suffer with out any major consequences. By the end of the run, my preparation and efforts payed off, earning a 5th place finish. Here is the link to the full race run in two parts shot with a GoPro HD.

Congratulations to Darian Harvey on piloting her DHR to a first place finish in the Pro Women

Angel Fire was a short trek of about five hours south from Durango. I drove down Friday morning with fellow racer Darian Harvey. Well actually, Darian drove while I caught up on sleep after a late night of prepping bikes and packing. The Super D course was a blast; it had everything including high speed straits, burmed turns, flat loose turns, and of course sweet jumps. Here is a link to a practice run. Angelfire Practice Run

The race started out pretty well. After the first turn I managed to work my way from near last to fifth. I managed two passes when the course opened up onto one of the ski runs. I thought all was good only to get passed right before flatting about a quarter of the way down the course. Here is a link to the race run. Angelfire Race Run
