I was an innocent bystander that just clicked on the last page of a long discussion and what I found was the answers that I was seeking, the universe answered my cries of despair and I will no longer wander on trails
Yeah that is a good point, But maybe the bike geometry will be a bit off with that set up (trying to picture it in my head) but it is actually a good concept. Especially for us riders who like to throw it around a bit, want to keep an eye on this one
Some good laugh's for your Friday if you haven't seen them already... Number 5 the guy nearly created a new trick! 5 Star kind of stuff http://www.pinkbike.com/news/fail-of-the-month-august-2014.html
Stupid question maybe... But what would be the biggest benefit of this set up? You get better control upfront but you have the nimbleness in the back? Serious up front with a party in the back?
Well then back to the OP's question this is my answer (which I do believe pertains to the topic) Post on any of these forums... http://www.gunsite.co.za/forums/forum.php/ http://www.gunownerssa.org/forum/ Asking riders on use of a gun is stupid, rather ask the professionals, they will give you valuable advice and answer your question without hostility.
On another point, how many MTB's do you know that have been shot in SA? I hear of bike jackings by gun point but no shooting? But if you have a gun I am sure I will be reading about shooting
So the bigger question is where would you keep your ammo? And then in order to reload you need sone protection of sorts? So this is what I propose, offers good protection when needed most, may affect your strava times a bit though

As it's been said. Just importers keeping up with trends. The 26" market out in the world is still pretty big and is not going anywhere. Most riders would agree that no bike can whip like a 26"... But that market is tiny SA as we lack bike parks providing us with the opportunity to whip it like we want... So it ain't going anywhere, the market just isn't in SA (Just affirming what many people have said)
