2016 Tallboy 3 27+

[@djcordes4352]

I started mountain biking in 1985 at the age of 10 on that exact trail. In the day I'd bomb the single track and fire roads on a rigid when suspension didn't exist. In TN we have really rocky trails and I'm waiting on a Tallboy CC 29er X01. Knowing the insane speeds I rode a rigid I can't imagine how fast I'd ride it on new technology. Hard to believe I used to fight the horse people for trail access there years ago. Hopefully I can ride that trail again some day. Back then there was literally nobody that could bomb descents like I could and the equal bike technology really separated the great from mediocre riders. I also missed riding to that trail from my driveway off La Tortola. Keep making these great videos!

Nice bike. I have been thinking about plus size wheels for winter use with my Tallboy.

Great video man, I ride a 5010 v2 with 140mm fork so basically a little bit more travel than your tallboy3 but I bet yours is a better climber and the front end doesn't wonder around as much as mine. I live in Mira Mesa and I just found out about the PQ trail from a friend of mine, maybe I'll catch you in trail sometime:)

Have you tried it in 29er form? Which one do you prefer & why?

[@jrsandiego]

I have not tried it in the 29er configuration due to not owning a boost 29er wheelset.... I have ridden 29er and I prefer the plus size due to traction and comfort..
