    hhhmmmm, maybe the Yelliscreamy will wet my whistle for the rigid backend until this hits the market - or I play on 26" until then.

    Everyone who rides the spitfire LOVES em...

    just wait for sea otter and you will see what you're looking for. please don't don't try and cram a big wheel in a regular fork just hang in a little while for the proper fork.

    I think if the 29er 36 fork existed you would see it on the prime. This is a the mod for the 36 to make it work.

    i'll wait for the real thing. i'm not about to take material off the bridge of my fork, nor should anyone else just to put a big wheel in it. just for laughs i tried putting my big wheel in a marzocchi 44 26 fork and i would have to cut the bridge completely out for it to fit. call me crazy, but that doesn't sound like a good idea

    yeah, milling out a 36 doesn't seem like the best of ideas to me...I'll wait.
