Aug 30, 2001 2:42 PM | | is it possible to turn a xc bike into more of a free ride bike. to be specific a large 2001 gary fisher big sur w/ 100mm z5's and will changing the stem to a higher degree give it more pop cause it is tough to get the front wheel up. |

Went with 2.6front/2.3rear gazzi. after that as long as your smooth enough or arent doing anything tooooo big your frame will hopefully hold up. Just start replacing parts that break with bomb proof stuff.
later. |
