8/6/2026 5:20am I was in the garage doing some work to one of my bikes over the weekend and watching old mtb movies... I had the thought of going through a few of these and re-watching them as a community and sharing things we noticed/appreciated... thus the idea for this thread. Maybe I'm nostalgic for a more simple time in mountain biking and mountain bike culture or maybe I'm subconsciously lamenting the barrage of short form content that evaporates in the blink of an eye. Either way, I feel like this is may be a fun way to re-live and re-discover these...

8/4/2026 1:49pm The Tallboy was often proclaimed the "the downhiller's XC bike." The last Blur was very race-focused, whereas this one seems to have gone a little but towards "trail" –– the opposite direction, but same destination, as the latest Tallboy, ironically. People seem to be a bit upset about the weight gain, but the weight remains towards the top of the class if I'm not mistaken. I'm more skeptical of the slackening of the HA, but maybe the "pros" of that outweigh the "cons" for the target audience, and it's now close to the Epic –– it's most direct and common...

8/3/2026 3:52am Am I the only one that thinks using a bike diaper to hide pretty basic suspension is kinda lame. I guess it gets the people talking though.

7/30/2026 5:38am It will be a long time, if ever, before the DHF truly goes away. The DHF is available in 20, 24, 26, 27.5, and 29” diameters, a couple width options, and endless spec permutations between compound and casing. It would take years, literally, to move all those specs over to the DHX tread.

7/15/2026 1:16am Honestly, the lack of "fudgeability" by using the limits + b tension screws to deal with any cable/housing related issues puts a hell of a lot of pressure on the tension adjuster on the sram 90 shifter and its just... not up to the task. I think I'd be singing a different tune if it felt as nice to deal with (and worked as well) as the XO and XX1 stuff did in the previous generation. I recently put an XO DH shifter on a madrone DH jab and my god its so nice, and in my opinion what the...
