Thanks for the response! I haven't ridden a low trail bike, so I really can't say how trail influences the ride. I do know exactly what you're saying about the trail effects of fat tires, though. By the numbers, my Wednesday already has well over 100mm of trail. Add the extremely low tire pressure I like to run, and it can be interesting to get the bike to change lines sometimes. That's when the short chainstays are nice, I can loft the front end and apply a little body english to get the ship to come around. I don't know if it's a holdover from riding dirt bikes, but I also find myself dabbing the rear brake a bit to help change direction sometimes.
Don't you think it would be better to reduce the trail so that you could actually steer the bike without having to do front end lifts and bootlegger turns?
