Shorter chainstays - mountain bikes?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of different chainstay lengths on a mountain bike?

I read that some advantages of short chain stays (like 15 - 16 inches) include faster acceleration and greater agility. Are there any other advantages? What are some disadvantages?

Thanks!
