Lee, I am interested in competing in a beginner’s dual slalom event (possibly Sea Otter). The problem is that I have never ridden a dual slalom course and don’t want to irritate fellow competitors or organizers if I should not be there. I enjoy dirt jumping, moderate drops, and light free riding. I have never […]
Hi Lee, I keep hearing you say “….Longer is more XC-able; shorter is more braaapable and a longer bike with a shorter stem is a great compromise.” You said the same thing in your book! I believe you but I never really understand why. …
Lee, I was wondering if you could explain the differences in the positions of the upper shock mount on the 2002-2004 specialized big hits. The manuals just say something about progressivity, which to me sounds like something marketing made up. I am hoping one of the 3 positions will magically unleash the riding god within […]

Hi Lee, I was sent your link from a friend of mine regarding the ML-8. I am looking at a Durance and my concern is the amount of seat height change.
Hey Lee, I am looking at handle bars and I was wondering what bar rise is and what the advantages of a bar with more rise rather than less rise. What would the difference between a 19mm. rise vs. a 38mm. rise? Zach

Hey Lee, I was wondering what are the benefits of braking in the air, or what is the purpose? Zach
Hi Lee, I’m coming from Australia to ride and race in CO in May. I’d quite like to race the Chalk Creek Stampede. Am I able to get a temporary license or will I need to have an international license at the time?
Oh man, it’s been way too long. I’ve been staying semi-fit, but I haven’t done anything fun since I broke some ribs a month ago. On Saturday Evan, Ian and I went on a little road trip to ride our friend Robyn’s track. This is a private track; do not ask me for directions!
