Blur LT2, RaceFace Next Bars/Post, Dues Cranks, SRAM XO, Juicy 7's 180/160, ChrisKings IsoDiscs/X817 UST's, 09' RP23
Bottom Line:
A perfect stiff AM front end for the new BLUR LT2 with plenty of ajustment to fine tune. If you get one that's been in the box on the shelf for a couple years, you may need to upgrade to Enduro Fork Seals and add oil where needed.
Oh, and the price is unbeatable.

Strengths:
I wanted a fork that had 140 to 150mm travel for my heckler. I was going to buy a pike but this fit the price I wanted to pay. At 145mm this fork performs perfect on my 06' heckler. I could not be happier in the way it has performed so far.
Weaknesses:
It does not have a lock out or travel adjustment. Which originally I thought I wanted but if I had it now I would probably not use it.
Bike Setup:
06 Heckler with race face cranks, juicy 7 brakes, nixon super intrinsic fork, Thomson stem and seat post, Mavic 823's, sram x-9 components and DHX 5.0 w/ti spring.
Bottom Line:
You can not go wrong with this fork if your an all mountain rider. I have been very pleased with it so far and would not change it with any other fork out there.
