Finally got a grip


So my new Gary Fisher HiFi Pro sat for awhile as I had time to build it. One of the last things I did was install the grips, and believe me, everyone seemed to point out that I should use grips on my new mountain bike. Well, the grips have finally been installed... along with going tubeless via the Bontrager Superjuice Tubeless system.

What a change! My previous mountain bike had V-Brakes w/ Ceramic rims, inner tubes, and 3 inches of travel. Now, I'm rollin' Avid Juicy 7's disc brakes, tubeless, and 4.5 inches of travel. Not to mention, Gary Fisher's new Genesis 2.0 Geometry has tweaked the fork offset and trail to sharply respond at any speed. Needless to say, this bike rocks, and I'm proud to call the HiFi Pro my new mountain bike.
