Lateral flex of Gary Fisher Fat Possum swingarm
/5 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesAloha Lee, I have a 2007 Gary Fisher Fat Possum XT. I love this bike except that the swingarm flexes a lot when climbing. This seems to be a problem with heavier riders like me (I weigh 205). I can’t afford to buy a new bike and I’m pretty much stuck at my current weight-I […]

Intense 951 or Specialized Demo 8?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesJust a quick question for you.

2008 vs. 2009 vs. 2010 Specialized Demo 8
/10 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, If you would care to expound on the differences between the 08, 09, and 2010 Demo 8 I would be grateful. I am aware that the 2010 model has been dialed for world cup racing and that distinguishes it from its predecessors. I am looking at an ’08, but am not sure what […]

‘Cross bike: drop bars or flats?
/15 Comments/in Equipment/by leelikesbikesHey gang. I’ve been riding a cyclocross bike with drop bars for about a year, and it’s been fun. I’m about to do a real build (good parts and “ideal” setup) on the Mighty S-Works Tricross, and I keep vacillating between drop bars and risers.
