Hey 29er,
It's a matter of STABILITY! Without shocks your beautiful car will most likely end up , in an emergency, as Bill suggests. When you try to turn quickly and your car FEELS like you are going to loose it; or when you have to stand on the brake and there is no control or when you hit a pot hole or railroad track and your car continues to oscilate up/down ! Well that's your choice,eh !
