Off road I feel they are a detriment especially when riding single track. Getting a manual or wheelie happening (a skill used to pop over logs, ext.) is not very easy with a long chain stay bike.
But extra cargo capacity and probably stability are pros, I suppose. They will probably help with a touring bike. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
