FOX air fork rebound clank
/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, I have adjusted the spacers in my f29er Fox fork from 80 mm to 120mm. I am experiencing a clank on the rebound.

Promising sign: 5-year-old with a wide grip
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, My son is 5 years old and riding much better than I ever did. However, I worry about his hand position on the bars when he rides.

Pros and cons of a shorter stem
/6 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, I’m reading your section on doing wheelies – very helpful. I saw the note about going to shorter stem to aid in doing wheelies. I have a 100mm stem. Is there a downside to going to shorter stem? thanks, Rick
Enduro SL chain guide and related issues
/8 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHi Lee: I saw your thread about an Enduro SL with a prototype chain guide. I am considering buying this or the pitch but I have heard chatter about the ISCG mounts being useless and needing an adapter bracket. Is there validity to this? I am trying to stay more on the all mountain side […]
