That's a nice LT2 you have there. It looks like you're running the Nevegal in the rear & the Blue Groove in the front. I believe most folks reverse that combo with the Nevegal up front. Have you tried it both ways?

To be honest, I've never even considered running them the opposite way round. The profile of the tread on the Blue Groove is a similar design to that of the Panaracer Dart which I used exclusively on the front, hence the reason they are installed this way
Full XTR drivetrain and pedals, Eason MonkeyLite XC bar w/ Ergon GX-1 grips and EA-90 stem, Chris King headset, Fox RP23 140 mm shock, new 2012 Fox Factory FIT RLC 150 mm fork, Thompson Masterpiece seatpost, WTB Pure V SLT saddle, Maxxis Ardent 2.2's on Stan's ZTR rims w/ I-9 hubs, Homer Simpson figurine on handlebars and Krusty the Clown on seatpost. Weight 25 lbs.....and Itchy, one of my cats.
I'm right at 30.9 pounds and I've no idea if this is heavy in comparison to other folks. I know there are a few areas where I can shed some weight including wheels primarily . . . but I don't think that I'd be able to get my rig much under 30 pounds without turning into a weight weenie with deep pockets.
For the Bos, it's the best Fork i have never tried.
I had Fox and RS before on different bikes.
On the Blur, I began with a RS REVL 140mm/9mm, quickly changed for the RS RVL 150mm/20mm. And now, the Bos since 6 months, 160mm/20mm (it exists with 140mm).
The difference on suspension is real (for me ): more strong, more progressive, better control on hard and rocks singletracks and technical tracks, it doesn't drop like Fox on braking.
You can set the low/high speeds, rebund and compression.
All of this for a good "public" price.
Here's some pics from a great ride around the English Scottish Border a couple of days ago! Kielder to Newcastleton and back again on the circular cross border route including the lonesome pine and Bloodybush trails at Kielder and all the red trails at Newcastleton.
Hey jtnord you have to try those and teach us to ride fast in these trails !!! One of the riders is a downhiller so he knows how to ride fast.
The camera don't show or don't gave the real idea, but they are step with rocks, drop, roots, and had rain a lot these months, it's like grease.
And we aren't pros, just weekend riders just having fun with families to take care, and jobs to do next day. But I'll try to ride fast next time.
When u r too fast is like premature ejaculation, when it star is already ending , let us enjoy the trail.
Great vid SURFAS, next one will have to pedal more
