[Closed] Santa Cruz Tallboy 29 build

daimo · 2018-09-18T18:34:20Z

Hello Big parcels arrived today so I guess I'm building my first mountain bike (built road bikes). I'll list the spec when I have time but I'm keen to crack open a beer and get building. Two questions before I start: 1. I want to make the frame as long as possible for correct chain length. Can I let the air out the rear shock and will this compress/bottom out the shock and if so, how do I do this? 2. I need to have the frame at sag for b adjustment. Can I just add air to the shock until 80% (20% sag or whatever I'm going to run) of the stanchion is showing? I don't have someone to sit on the bike. 3. GXP BB has come with 2 metal spacers which go between the BB and frame. Do I need to install these (boost frame)?

Are you sure the weight is 13.7kg (30lbs)? Seems a lot for a Tallboy.

Always liked the Tallboy, maybe my next bike!

Apparently so but it's the aluminium model.
