[quote]I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can say to convince me that those bikes will be anything other than awful to ride. [/quote
really?...lol...oh dear...so why are there massive sales now in america,mexico and lately dubai...UK will catch on in a few years when folk realise they can get out riding all year round,
owning both a KM and a pugsley i love them and deft the most fun bikes ive owned...salsa fork has a longer axle to crown than surlys fork,
pugsley fork is available non offset for use with a 100mm hub and a regular rim,47mm proberly narrowest you want to go on the rim for an endomorph...when you use this 100mm hub set up the tyre can be a squeeze past the front caliper...
a 29er with a fat front end flys on soft peaty trails or sandy stuff...not just better on snow...
also less footprint than a human...something alot of mtbr`s dont seem to care about but should riding in sensitive areas,

The monkey looks good - not sure how the geo compares to a Jones though.
Jeff recommended the fat tyre for all conditions....... I love the way it swallows stones and roots and has a kind of super stable feel at speed - not for everyone though I guess.

get one with matching wheels at least!

That looks a great fun bike, I'm just a little scared at paying £80+ for a tyre!

I quite like the look of it, I struggle to understand why folk get upset by such things.
Although;
UK will catch on in a few years when folk realise they can get out riding all year round
I think quite a few folk have realised they already can on a variety of bikes already.
