The newest generation of the Bears are beefed up to address those issues.
BTW, I had some Crails and loved 'em, (both stable at speed and turny enough for carving and techy turny stuff), but unfortunately they only come in an 8mm axle, which may bend depending on the wheels you use, your weight and how you ride. |

| Should be fine. FWIW, the big wheel fashion is pretty much over - most serious downhill guys are back with 70 to 76mm wheels. |
