Any thoughts on my topic Drac or Rocketdog?
Thoughts first riding around a car park isn’t going to demonstrate anything apart maybe sizing. Having ridden a couple now the last being the Santa Cruz Tallboy LTc I found them very nice to ride, it performed very well on the climbs and was lovely felt in good control on the descents. Took it down some rocky stuff and the bigger wheel did allow it to roll better, yes I know, but did feel nicer. Seemed to pick up quick enough for me can’t say it was slower. I rode it around the Dales I’d ridden my Heckler a couple hours before on the same trail and the preferred the Tallboy LTc of course weighing a hell of a lot more less would help.
As for the sizing thing. I had this discussion last week with a friend and we both believe the same thing, at some point that frames will take 26″, 29″ and even maybe 650b allowing the frame to be a mixed size and easily tweaked to suit.
Perhaps if you moderate Drac you should be setting an example rather than putting a normal member down?
Fair enough it was a flippant comment but it was in response to what was a silly comment.
