Hi Guys

Does anyone know why Specialized do not sell their Stumpjumpers FSR in the UK in the 29 inch wheels. It seems they sell it all over the world but in the UK we miss out. The only 29ers they sell seem to be the Epic and Camber lines in the UK.

Any help appreciated.

    Some talk of Spesh towards the end, if you can be bothered to read that far.

    The UK people decided not to bring it in when they were planning the range for sale in this year. Which would have been about 12 months before the 2012 range went on sale.

    Yeah think they're just being a bit conservative given the demand for 29ers is still a lot less (percentage-wise) in the UK than the US. I think there's also a fair overlap in what the Camber and Stumpy offer so would seem sensible to drop one of them this year if you wanted to keep the range down a bit.
