Lee, besides off-season training/crosstraining, can you recommend some winter time bike related training that can be done so that we don’t lose skills? Considering that we have 18″ of snow on the ground? Rob

I’m in great shape, should I skip base training?
/3 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, It’s getting time for me to begin the Pump Up the Base/Prepare to Pin It workout programs again. This year, I put about twice as much time in the saddle as last year, and I think overall, my basic cardio/threshold endurance is still in good shape. I’m finding, though, that where I get gassed […]
Specialized Fuse instead of a Stumpjumper hardtail?
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHey lee and thanks for your homepage and your enthusiastic cycling world 🙂 I ride stumpjumper evo ht at the moment and are considering buying the fuse 6fattie pro but im having doubt about the wheels and tires and the weight.

Like a red thread
/0 Comments/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, I only flew over the “Riding over things kung fu master style” lessons in your llbmtb.com online mountain bike school, but I like how your Push-Pull philosophy just goes through all your lessons like a red thread.

Does the LLB online MTB school really work?

This lesson should come after you’re consistent on larger drops, and after you’ve dialed in your “kung fu power wheelie” — the crucial explosion that lifts your front wheel as you leave the precipice. Here’s an animation from the wheelie […]
Going down … but make it awesome
/1 Comment/in Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHow many of you practice crashing? Not many, I’ll bet. With a little fun practice your next crash can be a cool story instead of a major injury.
Plus tires for XC and endurance racing?

Air pressure for 6Fattie (27.5 plus) tires
/7 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesThis comment was posted on Two rides on a Specialized Fuse Expert 6Fattie I rode the Stumpjumper 6Fattie and thought it was fun on the technical climbs, I loved the way it leveled the trail trash. As soon as I pointed it down a rocky technical descent I felt like I was sledding on a […]

Is cornering unique on a sketchy CX course?
/0 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, One quick question: Cyclocross is starting up, and my CX skills are better than ever because of our work with the MTB! But I was wondering, in deep mud or sand, should I just corner the same way that I do under good conditions (for example, screwing the bike), or is there a different […]
