My initial impression is "The Captain" is not necessarily going to out roll some of the racier tires out there. I think it's more an all around looking type pattern.

YAY! Next: He thought that the 29er was a fad too until I bought an XXIX from him. Once he got it in, we went for a ride and he loved it! (50+ roadie, I get him on the trails MAYBE 2x a year) His e'ees were asking about it and even tried to buy mine before I picked it up. Now... He keeps 29ers on the floor. Education and patience are how you defeat ignorance and fear. That and a pistol... 29er 4 all! First of all my fave LBS doesn’t carry Specialized OR trek! YAY!

One of the bike company guys confirmed they have been test riding it and the short offset fork on their bikes. This same company will be dropping production of all 26" wheel mtbs next year and expand their 29er offerings. The 51mm offset Reba is more than a rumor.

The dropouts on both sides are slotted. Lots o' tire clearance in the chainstays and F derailleur clearance, too. Also has a NEW 29x2.00 tire with the name "The Captain" molded on the sidewalls but on hot stamp labels The Stumpy is also on display in one of the Spec product booths (not the team area) with a nice info card.
