Team Fisher spotted testing out some new geometry?

-or-

Is this because of required fork clearance due to a custom tube set?

Notice to Big Wheel owners!

If you are in the market for a rack or a new rack to haul your 29er you will have to make a different choice other than this eye catcher.

The Saris Thelma while nice and innovative, it lacks the ability to carry 9er geometry. It is designed for the biking soccer mom. I say that because it only weighs 26lbs and is very simple to use. The wheels trays/cups holds 20-26" wheeled MTB's and 700c tire equipped roadies. Intrigued by its unique design I inquired to Saris and the rep told me unfortunately it does not work with 29ers.

The friendly customer service rep reassured my faith in all Saris products with his attention to my needs. They didn't have a complex push this button...go to this menu crazy type phone directory. One selection on the keypad and you are talking to a living, breathing, and caring representative from the Saris Corporation!

Even though you can't carry a 29er on this rack, get a big wheel...they just roll faster!

Approaching 36K

I took the Tahoe in for its last check up before turning the odometer past 36,000 miles. I am always reluctant to leave the big wheel hauler (BWH) with a stranger, but the fine service techs at Tincher take good care of him every time. My concern was also alleviated quite a bit when they let me have this as a loaner.

2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS

It is quite fast in comparison to my Tahoe even with the Magnaflow Exhaust and AEM Cold Air Intake I installed on the BWH. Could it be because of the Performance All Wheel Drive System...could it be because of the Aerodynamic Styling...or could it be because of the fact there is sports car under the hood. Yep that's right, the Corvette LS1 is strapped in the belly of this beast! A Ford Explorer with a V8 thought it would beat me to the end of where two lanes go into one. WRONG! The Trailblazer SS lunged forward when asked like Puma on a Water Buffalo. The All Wheel Performance Suspension sticks to the road like week old road kill. The Aerodynamic Styling cuts through the wind like my Madone and is just as appealing to the eye. The inside was lacking something for my tastes...it needed something that goes mooo. The model they gave me had a cloth interior, although it was soft to the touch and very comfortable if I trade...the next BWH needs to have leather. I give it a 26 out of 29 rating...29er being the best.

Remember, get a big wheel...it just rolls faster!
