I like where this is going.

Do what you like. Stop hating people for their riding habits and get back to hating them for their skin color, religion, politics, and sexual orientation.

Turner just announced that they are going 27.5+ on the sultan. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links)

I like the grip that the fat bike tires had when I test ride one So I'm very interested to see were the 27.5+ goes.

Shearing the shaft member after a hard ride is acceptable in my book.

Will that stop you from riding the one I just ordered?

I've seen some vary reasonable weights on some these 29+ bikes. I like the feel of the + size tire on front, not sure if I would run one in the back but I want the option.

Heck no... I'm always up for thrashing your bikes!  I'm excited to try one.  Pretty cool that you could do Gates SS without splitting the frame!

The next thing you know they will come out with something that allows the front of the bike to go up and down to absorb bumps.   Roll Eyes

And bar ends. Bar ends would make that b***h totally rad. 

As if URT weren't bad enough... SS URT with an atrocious front whatever-that-stuff-is. Bounce much?
