Manitou Sherman Slider Plus

Oh ya... yes I have read the reviews on MTBR just wondering if any of the
DH/Freeride people here have something to say.

Please don't disgust me... I ride a Turner DHR. That's Micheal Dart that
owns a DHi (hehehehehe)

Sheesh, I *was* being sarcastic about the DH/FR comment.

Wait a minuite now I remember you rode a i-Drive... you helped me out with
some cracked frame advice. Are you the same Slacker?

So anyway how do you like the Turner? I am sure it is amazing to ride.
What DC forks would you put on a Bullit if you had one? I am riding 02 Marz
Jr T now. I rebuilt it from scratch and it isn't too bad but the
compression dampning is still too fast. making it bob like crazy. I have
the right springs and I have even tried a mix of 10 and 20 wt oil....

I just want to be able to sprint hard between jumps and drops.

The one and only. I still have the (2nd warranty replacement)i-drive.
It's now my XC ride.

Words cannot convey; If I had the $$, I would buy another one right now
for that great and horrible day. I can hardly even look at my i-drive
right now.

The Turner is sooo sick. I'm literally riding some of the same trails at
twice the speed as before. I just washed her... she cleans up well, but
I like her when she's really dirty.

Actually, the Turner is my first DH rig, and subsequently, my first time
on a DC fork (Shiver). So I'm not going to be too much help here. But it
sounds like you're looking in the right direction with the Slider.

Hopefully Mike Dart will reply shortly. He's got a Bullit too and has
way more experience.
