Good looking out, Varaxis. This test will be frame only, and will be separate from Test Sessions.

Interesting build for the Blur TRc. The Blur TRc definitely stands out from the rest of the bikes in the test sessions, but I think the unconventional build will cause some fudging with the score, with "familiarity" and "impression" points negating a lot of the niggles with the bike's personality. If I see a 5 star rating or a win, accompanied by of complaints... I don't know what to say.

Both very impressive. I'm surprised the 3rd place guy is up there with them in time. I've seen his name before, but never actually watched him. I think you guys got to...

Completely agree with Austen. Tried both long and short cage on Sram's guidance. Makes a fancy 10K bike ride and feel like a Walmart bike. Sram was also not to willing to buck up for it either. Went back to a standard XO with a C-Guide and no more "Klunk". Shimano has it right-

That was quite an . . . amusing . . . interpretation of their OohBah design.
