blockhouse Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Very nice, what's the full spec on this baby, and what does it weigh?
Slaya Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 The groupset is a bit of a mix at present, so the weight could probably come down ever so slightly.As it stands - 11.3kg with pedals. Frame: 140mm Carbon150mm Fork Rock Shox Revelation Fox Float RP23 ShockDrivetrain Shimano XT/SLX mix (direct mount front derailluer)Brakes Shimano XTRWheels CrankBrothers Iodine (slightly heavy BUT Oh so sweet) Slaya2009-09-22 02:54:11
blockhouse Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Isn't the revelation to much fork for this frame, I thought the blur lt required more of a xc set-up...
blockhouse Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Oh yeah I forgot, many many happy miles Slaya
Iwan Kemp Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 LT = Long Travel Can take 130/140/150mm forks. Shouldn't on the carbon but I've seen BLT's with 160mm up front. 140mm suits it best though.

Bos Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Isn't the revelation to much fork for this frame' date=' I thought the blur lt required more of a xc set-up...[/quote'] The revelation is a 110-130mm or 2009 is 110- 140mm and weighs 1.8kg the frame Is a 140mm Vpp design which is way plush. along with the Rp23 that bike is as close to a do anything bike as youll ever find. The blur Xc is the xc one. the LT is slightly more AM with very little weight added. I have the old LT, and my word, Trust me, that thing goes anywere! you can hit rockgardens flat out. If I race I just turn the forks down to 100mm and it makes handeling sharper and more racer like. If only I can get mine down to 11.3 kg.. darn, I wouldnt have to ride the HT at all. heres mine
Slaya Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 The Blur XC is more suitable for xc. The LT can be set up for xc or all-mountain. Just depends on what terrain & style you prefer. I have no idea how it rides. I'm just waiting for this damn broken shoulder to heal.
Iwan Kemp Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 Bos: 2010 Rev available in 150mm, but no more 130mm for Rev. Its the 90's man, get wif it.
