It’s weird that the Fisher’s colour scheme is exactly the same as my grotty old GF Mako, which is about as base spec as you can get.

Still, at least the Mako looks like a real bike instead of something from the Argos catalogue

DT Swiss in another “on a different planet” shocker. If they were 1200g a set then I can see a market for them but 1550g is not particularly light (and achievable at a fraction of the price). This is assuming the EXC moniker means they’re XC/AM rims rather than designed for DH (if they were designed for DH with no rider weight limit and a decent warranty then I could see them having some market, if they’re XC/AM then I just can’t see why anyone would buy them, even if you’re stupid-rich there’s better options).

testing a pair of wheels costing nearly 2K must be a lovely job but for us mere morsals its utterly pointless ……can we have a few more realistic tests please.

the gary fisher has that “driven into a wall” look.
if it don’t look right, it usually isn’t.

i think the hardest job at singletrack towers must be the post boy opening all that bling,, does he double as a mechanic,, as it must be a full time job putting all those bits together
but if you need someone to do the job let me know

Quote: A nice looking chain guide device to combat chain retention and aggressive trail obstacles. There’s not much equipment for your money though.

Bashguard…tick, BB.ISCG/ISCGo5 mounted backplate and roller…tick. Works…tick. What else do we need exactly>

As for the Fisher, Jesus, i agree with function over form and all that, but it appears their remit was to build a two wheeled ‘munter’. To be honest that ahs othing to do with the 29ers, that thing would ming even if it had Miranda Kerr pereched on the saddle.
