Um, yeah, don't think so, most definitely not actually. I was running my '08 Monkey with a 650B Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.8" in back and CST BFT 29x3.0" proto upfront since August 2016 and I'm sure there were others doing it even sooner than that. I also had the WTB TrailBlazer back in October 2015 and ran that in several configurations, including outback paired with a 29x2.4" On One Chunky Monkey on an i39 rim, but don't really consider that as the TB was barely 2.5".
