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.

not too pleasing on my eyes

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;

I think quite a few folk have realised they already can on a variety of bikes already.
