As with most 29ers the climbing seems a bit harder and it took me a while to get it off the ground... But that's a 29 thing, not bike specific. </p> <p>Like others have said you're comparing chalk with cheese. </p> <p>Ohh and I won't be buying a tallboy. Nice bike but just not me. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3376709 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:59:24 +0000 singlespeedstu 3376709@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>tazzymtb - Member</p> <p>stu it would rock on a 1x9 I'll pop it in the post and you can play </blockquote></p> <p>Thanks mate. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3372599 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:04:13 +0000 bonesetter 3372599@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>I'm going to 1x9 my Jones </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3372584 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:02:04 +0000 tazzymtb 3372584@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>stu it would rock on a 1x9 I'll pop it in the post and you can play </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3372583 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:01:54 +0000 tk46hal 3372583@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Tazzy,</p> <p>I'm off to BQ tomorrow to buy a wheel barrow so you can chop that to bits to fit a fat wheel and then I can give that Scandal a good home again! <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3372553 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:56:20 +0000 bonesetter 3372553@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>ton - good thanks. </p> <p>So you wouldn't be seen dead on a Jones <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p> <p>Although, I ride a Jones geo clone, with shorter CS's it has to said (Wolfhound) </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/tall-boy-or-jj-ti-sf#post-3372547 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 21:55:32 +0000 singlespeedstu 3372547@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Very kind of you Taz but i think a 35t is a bit too much for my "not been out on a singlespeed much in the last 12 months" legs. <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_redface.gif" title=":oops:" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> <br /> Though I could try in on my fatbike?
