Hi everybody,
I'm a newbie to this great forum and have a question...
I am the proud owner of a Blur LT2C frame (L), and am in the fun process of selecting components, but feel a bit unsure re. forks and would really appreciate some advice from you guys...
Here is a bit of background:
Height 1.8m ( 5'11")
I weigh 77 Kg (170 pounds)
Ride mainly XC but feel like getting a bit more adventurous.
I have a couple of sets of forks which would work, but in my desire to make the one-off ideal build, would upgrade if worthwhile ( that's where I need the advice!)
I have 2 sets of Revelations which are:
1st set: 2010 Revs Team U-turn 120-150, Maxle 20mm standard steerer
2nd set: As above, but standard 9mm qr, tapered steerer .
As the Blur has tapered headtube, I feel I want tapered steerer to optimize stiffness, but also would like 15mm or 20mm dropouts!
At my weight, should I get a new set with both tapered steerer and bigger dropouts?
The other option if I upgrade is Fox Talas or Float 15mm - which would be preferable out of the Fox forks and which fork overall would you guys recommend?
Thanks for any advice!:thumbsup:
