I feel sketchy and I want better brakes!
/15 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHey Lee, Before getting to the question, I just want to see you’ve got a great thing going here. It’s a very helpful and informative site. Okay, so I have a Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc with the standard Shimano 415 disc brakes. I’ve noticed that I need a bit more stopping power since I’m around […]
2007 MSC#5 – Full Tilt in Telluride
/1 Comment/in Downhill, Events/by leelikesbikesEveryone enjoyed beautiful weather and a fun DH course, but timing problems left a yucky aftertaste.
What is this “internal headseat” business?
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHey Lee, I am trying to replace my busted headset and I bought a new 1 1/8″ HS, but it didn’t fit, so I look at the website and it says internal cup 1 1/8″. What in the world is a internal cup headset? Chris
Frame size for 4’8″ dude?
/8 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesI need some help. My 11 year old son wants a new bike. He’s been saving his money and I pay half, so we are looking at bikes in the $1000 to $1500 range. The big question is what size to get?
Downsides of long stem?
/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHey. So do you think a longer stem would make the bars turn funny, bunny hopping awkward and going over the bars more likely, or would it just give me more front wheel traction without affecting other stuff? Thanks again, Alex
Off to Telluride
/6 Comments/in Life with a capital L/by leelikesbikesAnother MSC is about to go down. It’s a different thing this year: not racing, concentrating on coaching, seeking a deeper satisfaction, traveling with my love. We slept in my Sprinter at Snowmass; for Telluride we’re rocking a sweet condo. Since we don’t need a house on wheels, we’re driving her car. My Demo 8 […]
XL with short stem or L with long stem?

I have recently started racing XC. I was toying with the idea of purchasing an Anthem Advance but have come up with this question. I am 6’2 and […]

Stems and bars: Long and low or short and high
/15 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesLee, I am currently riding a Thomson 90mm w/5 degree rise on my 575 and have considered trying a shorter stem. Unfortunately none of my friends or any of the local shops have one for me to demo. I do, however, have a 2″ riser bar that I purchased at a swap meet but have […]

/1 Comment/in Life with a capital L, Pump tracks/by leelikesbikesI’m enjoying the fruits of a life lived with intention and love, but .. dangit … I miss my old pump track. That was the true casualty of my divorce.
