The concerns I hear are a pin tends to break on it (and some have commented on the overall quality of construction)so you want to start with one or two extra pins and that it can cause some swaying that you quickly get use to on steep downhills.
I have heard about the pin troubles, but nothing about construction problems. RWTD could you please elaborate on this?
Also, the new BOB has a shock absorber for off road use.
