Hi there!
I´m currently contemplating selling my heckler and buying a Blur. But what model should I look at? I like the geometry of the heckler, but wouldn´t mind not having 130 in the rear.
I´m looking at these models: I can get a good deal on a 2004 "narrow-rear" blur.
I´m also looking at the 4X and the classic Blur with "Bigfoot-Rear". I´m not looking at the BLT as i don´t need the travel, and also not looking at the Blur XC as I think is is a little too race-oriented.
I´m concerned with the relative steep headangle on the classic Blur (compared to the Heckler) so I´m considering putting a Pike on the front in 120mm mode as it may be able to give it more stability. On the other hand the quite slack headangle on the 4X may be way too slack for XC riding...Any thoughts on that one?
Are there huge difference in stiffnes between the two models?
I´m going to use it for non-racing XC, some trail and maybe a little jumping.
