Was just on the SC website. Some of the bikes are wearing new suits for 2016 and the TB LT seems to have faded away.

So finally decided to dump the lefty. Angles of the bike was not perfect with it on there. So on went a 120mm revelation rct3, a new stem and AC wide lightning wheels.

 

This thing climbs like a champ and descends even better. Super happy with the changes. See you on the trails! :)

I bought a 120mm Reba for my Tallboy, but after two months of riding I had it spaced down to 100mm. Just never felt comfortable on steep climbs and uphill switchbacks. Was forever struggling to get my weight far enough forward. Since the change the bike feels a lot more balanced to me. I use the bike specifically for marathon/xc type stuff and have another trail bike. If it was my only bike, I would probably stick with the 120mm, because the extra travel makes a big diff going down. Pretty much turns it into almost a 5010.

Yes! Still running my revelation at 120mm and could not be happier. I run a neg 20 degree stem which keeps the front end nice and low. Even with the 120mm my front end is still lower than a buddy's epic with the aggressive stem. So you get the nice low front end for climbing and bomb down with 120mm of pure RCT3 awesomeness.
