Sure, Jesse. See photos in this post: https://deaconpatrick.org/spring-snow . They show how far behind the front wheel I am. It is relatively unweighted, so free to float over anything it encounters. With 27.5+ tires, it has an outer diameter of close to 30". That gives a lot of rollover clearance without much weight on the tire, and giving the front wheel a wee hop to help that for bigger, vertical bits, it easy. When I first rode GBW I was amazed by the wonderful ease and flow of mountain trail riding with this set up. Yeah, I'd read Grant's descriptions of it, but I really had to ride it for the "ahhh-ha!" to click in place. This really is how mountain bikes are meant to be.
