99% sure for you to give a go!
Been riding this combo of F100X and small size blur since Feb. I'm 140lbs and 1.6M tall. My riding consist of 60% on fire road (To trail head) and others in the dirt, and most of it is some DH single track with people riding Foes Mono or V19s, so you get the idea...
The F100X is a nice match to ALL XC, trail type bikes which match the travel. Just BELIEVE what the reviews said, it's totally locked out when you want it to, and IT IS EXACTLY working like the Float when it hits the smallest bump. IT WORTH twice the money you're paying! When I'm riding on fire roads, not matter how hard I stand and spin and push and hammer, it just won't compress! It's locked no matter how hard I hammer, but when the road get a little bumpy, like you hit a small crack on the pavement, the lock-out just turned off automatically without noticing you, amazing! I think the F100X is the perfect match for 99% of blur owners.
The other 1%, like myself, would consider a fork like the TALAS with travel adjustment. I am now running a TALAS RL after nearly 6months with the F100X, because the 120mm travel up front is giving me much more fun on the downhill, and when I'm climbing in the dirts, I just reduce the travel to 85mm and hammer away with a little bob which I can live with, and lock it out when I'm travelling on fire road. For me, I think the both the TALAS and the F100X would be the perfect match for the blur, and I am going to use both of them, TALAS for most of my riding and the F100X for some local XC races and some serious long epic rides.
P.S. Running a TALAS on the blur will void the warranty since the blur is design for forks under 101mm travel.
