the grasp of manufacturing concepts is rung out like a rag on pb. Reading comprehension goes a long way. It's not very far fetched to imagine that the 29r version would have all the same specs as the 26" version, obviously (well, maybe not) the 29r fork will have different crowns (upper and lower) to correct the trail, the added bump height could be made up there by making the crowns both "drop" crowns, or just make the upper tubes 1.5" longer and add spacers? It would be pretty retaded not to carry the same specs between the 2 forks. You will see 69rs (29 front, 26 rear) become popular with the AM crowd and then slowly trickle into the FR scene, wheels can be made strong enough, brakes are good enough, geometry can compensate, kinda just waiting on tires.

hopefully tomorrows vod is aggressive in-line skating!
