We just finished building Matt’s (our web designer and fearless test pilot) Santa Cruz Tallboy with a custom blue Ki2 kit. As expected, shifts like a dream. Note the latest refinement to the shift pod placement; slightly further under the bars and 10degree angle toward the hand. We still need to do some dialing in on the wiring, but for a completely external routing, looks very clean.

We’re taking the Ki2 Niner and the Ki2 Santa Cruz out on the trails today. Check back for a report of our first ride on the Tallboy.
