Lifting my wheels???So... a few weeks ago I got a Mermaid and I have been loving it! Been riding as much as I can, which unfortunately isn't enough, but each ride has been rewarding. I'm even making it up some hills, which is awesome.
I am having one problem, my front wheel seems to be lifting up when I'm pumping hard... not sure why. your thoughts?
Me: 5'7 160lbs
Roe: Light Flex, Camber/concave, Back truck in shorter position
Bennett 6.0(Orange/white/blue) - Randall 180 (stock yellow)
76mm/75a Gumballs

Re: Lifting my wheels???I assume you don't mean both wheels are "hopping", but one side after another is lifting? Replace the blue bush w/orange or get a 5" Bennett

another question, which may relate to the wheel lifting...
how wide is your Roe Mermaid?
My mermaid is not even close to the advertised 9.75 inches, I have 9.25 at my widest point. Not sure if it matters, what are your thoughts?
