    Tallboy Frame Render

    Frame Sizing

    If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

    The Tallboy is available in sizes extra small - extra extra large (XS-XXL).

    Personal Preference

    A larger size frame will be more stable, and will give you more room to move without upsetting the weight-balance of the bike. The larger size will put the front wheel further in front of you, which gives the feeling of security and conversely, it will require more significant body movements when you WANT to shift the weight-bias of the bike. Think hard about your riding style and how active/intuitive you want it to be vs stable and speedy. You'll need to work a bit harder to muscle the larger bike around.

    Body Dimension

    Not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.

    FAQ's

    The geometry chart shows two settings- how do I adjust that?

    There's a "flip chip" on the link where the shock mounts. Just remove the lower shock bolt and flip the chips to the setting you desire.

    Should I ride my Tallboy in Hi or Lo setting?

    You should definitely try both, but we typically recommend starting in High. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained.

    What is the recommended fork?

    Our geometry is based off of a 130mm fork with a 44mm offset. We wouldn't recommend less travel than that, as the steering will be too twitchy and the BB will get a bit low. 140mm is the max travel fork we recommend.

    What's the largest rear rotor that will fit on the Tallboy?

    The Tallboy 5 will fit up to a 220mm rotor. The frame is 180mm-direct, so that's the minimum size that's compatible.

    Is there chainguide compatibility?

    Yes, this bike is equipped with ISCG-05 tabs for easy chain guide mounting. Most guides/bash guards that follow the ISCG-05 standard should fit.

    What kind of headset does this bike use?

    This bike uses integrated headset cups. The upper up is 41mm and the lower cup is 52mm. The SHIS name is IS 41/28.6 IS 52/40.For Chris King this is a DropSet.3

    Does the Tallboy 5 use the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH)?

    The frame is UDH-compatible, but comes with our own machined aluminum hanger. You can replace it with another Santa Cruz hanger or a SRAM UDH.

    What rear shock sizes will fit the Tallboy 5?

    The Tallboy uses a a 190x45mm shock with 8x30 hardware front and rear.

    What can I store in the glovebox?

    The Tallboy comes with two bags - a tube purse and a tool wallet. You should be able to fit a superlight tube, a small pump, tire lever, and misc odds and ends in these two bags.

    What's the max tire width for rear of the Tallboy 5?

    We recommend a 2.5" max on the rear.
