Sorry to post in this thread but I have an ide and need to know if it's a good one, I'm considering buying a Nukeproof Mega 290 frame, adding a 160 fork, angleset, and offset bushings and then voila! DH slack, long, pedalable 29er. What do you guys think? Could I use this to race DH?

I plan to machine myself a new set of dropouts, paired with offset bushings, so i can use a longer shock, giving me more rear travel.
How does it ride, so slack on a 29er?
It rides just fine! I don't have a single complaint. It's a tank, just plowing through everything i'm pointing it at.

I have been loving my Canfield Riot. The rear end works incredibly well through the rough and nasty, jumps well, and really enjoying the short chainstays
