    New bigger wheels craze

    What about the old bighits with 24/26 wheels? I don't seem to recall them cornering horribly, but I haven't spent much time on one in a while.

    '11 Specialized Demo chainstay/seatstay bearing replacement.

    Just be careful when using a c-clamp because most have swivel heads and that makes it harder to get them in straight. A vice would be better than a clamp.
