Hey planko[ forgotten your name we met in Yack] SC Blur v nice frame.
I bought an old 26 superlite , it fitted 27.5 wheels then added 120 fork which flattens the headtube angle and a 6mm longer shock stroke for more travel and make the seat tube steeper and BB higher , eventually made it 1x 10 and its great.
Yeah I remember, pity that old specialized is currently ornamental. Hopefully one day itll get some use again
I wish my son's bike was a large, he's got a heckler the little sod. The single pivots would do a 275 ok I reckon, but the vpp blur would be lucky to take a beefy tyre, let alone a bigger wheel. I've been thinking almost seriously about running a 29 front, that was a thing they did back in the day and Ive always been a little curious on it.
How does it go with the extra rear travel? I would have thought it'd scrub the seat tube without the extra travel, let alone with it.
The 120 fork makes a big difference I reckon, but rear is still odd. Keen to see if I can tune it better with a cane creek, once the budget allows I might give this a shot.
