Tricks for tight switchbacks
/6 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, I have an interesting question for you. You are coming down a single track on the side of the mountain, and there is a typical tight switchback, narrow and 330 degree turn. How do you tackle this without loosing too much speed and not going down the hill 🙂
Custom frame and seat tube angle
/0 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesGreetings Lee. I am in the process of having a custom hardtail frame built, I have some questions about fit, seat tube angle, pedaling efficiency & comfort. Seems like a lot of makers are going with shorter stays and steeper 74* seat tube angles to keep the rider weight centered. My Builder thinks that a […]

1x drivetrain for bikepacking?
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesI’m a fit 52 old on a 2007 3×9 26” Ibis Mojo planning to bikepack the Colorado Trail in July. The drivetrain has considerable wear, and probably needs to be replaced. Do I just stick with it or move to a more modern setup? I’m considering moving to 1X11, 30t front, 11-46 back. I know […]
Straight seatpost verses setback post on Specialized bikes
/3 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, I noticed that you always run a straight seat on your Specialized bikes that come stock with setback posts. How does this affect your knee/pedal position and the size of bike that you choose? It seems to me that your knee would be pulled well over the front of the pedal (especially with shorter […]
