Yes, I have a dbair CS on my medium burner and have zero issues. Just put it on there 2 weeks ago, almost wish I had held off for this one, but I'm really happy the it.
I'm running a CCDB air on my Burner it fits fine.
I didn't think the Fox evo on my Burner was bad at all, in fact the best feeling air shock I've ridden from Fox.
Worlds better than the RP23, at least for me.
I ordered one for my Burner a couple hours ago! I'm really excited about this switch; it's been a long time coming.
Regarding the base tunes: If you don't see your specific bike in the base tune section... Then keep an eye on "the lounge" section of Cane Creek's website. Folks are pretty good about posting their tunes there. Then again, it's the internet. Take the information found with a grain of salt.
Looks like they are available on the Cane Creek website. A buddy of mine called and learned that they're fulfilling OEM orders first and should have them ready to go in the next few weeks.
DT thinks it's too big up top to clear the Czar's rocker, but that there is a chance.
I exchanged a few emails with them, and they were very interested in selling me a shock, but when I asked if they would send one for a "try on" which I would buy if it fit, they went silent on me!
I really have no complaints about my CTD, but I'm always a potential victim of ungrade-itis.
It looks like it would clear ok with the rocker, but I might be wrong. I would also assume that the airchamber would be the non-moving part on the Czar, opposite of the CTD.
The 6.5x1.5 looks überawesome, and I have upgradeitis
Nope. DT was not convinced it would fit, and Cane Creek had no idea, so I emailed them that if they would send me one, I'd check fit, and if it was a go, they could run my CC. If not, I'd pay to ship it back. Never did hear back from them, and honestly, the CTD suits me pretty darn well.
I was told by CC mine was one of the first non OEM orders to be shipped (I take that with a grain of salt) and it would ship early Aug. I'm planning on mid to late Aug given their shipping record in my experience(s) with them.
Just picked up a inline today at the shop for my 2011 spot. It didn't fit.the air can touches at the seat tube/bottom bracket junction.Even inverted it still won't fit. Fustrated I took out my grinding wheel and ground back the area that was in the shocks way....it fits! Didn't need to grind to much off and I have no worrys that I compramised the frame in any way. Used the base setting provided by CC site.seems very plush and the climb switch is sooo much better than the fox rp23. Can't wait to test it on the trails tomorrow. Sorry I have no pics of the set up.

That's a bummer!! I have an Inline on the way that just stinks to hear about this since i have a 2011 med spot. Do you think offset bushings could be used rather than me breaking out the grinder?
Offset bushings....don't know there was such a thing.worth a try.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Don't know why Turner made the shock mounts so tight. I would have put a standard cane creek db air on a long time ago if it would fit.
Got to ride the Spot today and a fine tune the inline.the stock setting provided by cane creek is a good starting point. I left the high speed settings alone but backed off on both low speed compression setting by a few clicks to make it more plush grinding up hills. Once idid that the shock got realy good and and took drops and jumps like the turner has never done before. Very solid shock.
I never really looked into the cane creek db air shocks before I got a banshee rune that came with one. There game changing shocks that can be tuned to be as active and supple as a coil shock. I'm sold on them and there new Inline is just as good! Highly recomended, even if you got to hack your frame to get them to fit.
etacata, do you have any pics of the frame where you modified it? If it's not too bad I may just do that. although an offset bushing is only about $25.
They made the 2012 spot with more shock clearance. I think I read on the Cane Creek site that a db air will fit. That's the shock I would have put on if it would have fit my 2011.
Got several more rides in on my inline. Its amazing how supply it is and really sticks to the trail. Happy with the upgrade.
Yep, I had to file down the seat tube gusset to make it fit. Best damn thing I ever did. Rides way better through root and rock gardens.
