I've been running them on my DH bike for about 5 months now including 5 days of riding in Whistler with no issues, they are great brakes. The only downside is that the finned brake pads are really expensive, but I am pretty sure you can get non-finned pads for much cheaper now.
Awesome videos! I like how you added speed and heart rate, interesting to see that stuff. Also makes me really want to pack up the bike and go do some riding in Spain.
Those angles on the old Blur 4x are with 100mm fork. So if you run a 130mm fork on it would get about a 66.5 degree headangle and a 13 inch bottom bracket.
And I completely agree about the angle set! With an angle set you are looking at almost $3000, the same cost as a carbon V10 (which...
I like the idea but it needs to be a bit slacker. For me, a 66.5 or so head angle with a 130mm fork would be ideal. I keep waiting for someone other than Banshee to come out with a slack, low and light trail bike as a potential replace my Blur 4x. The wait continues....

I picked up my Demo II last Friday in SoCal, so they ashould be arriving everywhere shortly. Rode it twice this past weekend and was really impressed, just gotta get used to the super low BB.
Of those 3, I have only ridden Highlands. It has a good mix of trails from beginner to advanced and they are all really fun. Definitely spend a day or 2 there.
I have a Blur 4x that I use as my everything except DH bike and absolutely love it. Been riding it for about a year now in SoCal and haven't had any issues with it. Like others have said it isn't the best climber out there(especially techy climbing because of the low bottom backet) but it is...
It's been mentioned before but a Blur 4x with a longer fork absolutely rocks. Slack and low and weighs in around 30 lbs. The only 2 drawbacks at is that is sucks for techy climbing because the pedals smash into everything and that Santa Cruz (in their infinite wisdom) stopped making it.
