Won't actually be 'set up' for a couple of days; but, looks really sweet out of the box! 5.68 lbs. More to come. Thanks Zach at Competitive Cyclist.
Cheers.

ThanksZnarf said:Wow,
Intenseman.
One of the nicest bikes (not only LTcs) I´ve seen.
Are you a sponsored racer or something?
Greetings Znarf
Hmmmmm? Bummer. Do you think that's all chain slap, flying rocks, or impact with trail embedded rocks?ALKIrider said:Had my Blur LTc since late fall, Probably about 15-20 rides so far. Already noticing some pretty bad wear on the lower linkage. What to do?

Those are not big chips. The drive side damage is all from chain slap, don't be fooled. Mine is in similar condition and was dinged up pretty good after the 1st week of riding.ALKIrider said:Some of the chips look too big to be chain slap. I think it's a few bigger hits here and there. With less than 4 months of modest use, this do not bode well... Although I have to say: LUV the bike, it's a dream to ride
:thumbsup: nice! congrats!!!Pedalhead said:I fitted some 36 Talas forks to my LTc last night. I'll be taking it for a ride tomorrow to see how I get along. The 140mm Revs I had previously felt a bit steep, and whilst tempted by the new 150mm revs, my upcoming trip to the Alps pushed me in the direction of a set of 2009 36's I found at a good price. Unfortunately I have to run a 160mm rotor for a few days until the adapter I ordered arrives, so that should make things interesting.
I'll measure the angles & stuff and post them for you guys soon as I found it hard to find much info out there on the 36/LTc combo.
Edit - I'll also post some comparison pics of the two builds
have you ridden this shock yet? any feedback on the geometry with the shorter eye-to-eye?dirtmafia said:Special Circumstances on the shock, going to give it a go, there is always the possibility of picking up a 8.5 x 2.5 fox rp23. The h3 has a bit shorter eye to eye and might be cool for some of the slalom trails around here. Wont know till I try it

Which Chainguide is that? looks like a gamut bashring, but it looks like it's a blackspire stinger? how's it working out? any hits to it instead of the bashring?
