Trying to keep Rays MKE open
/1 Comment/in Trail building/by leelikesbikesOn Facebook I received a petition to turn Rays Indoor Mountain Bike Park in Milwaukee, WI into a public park. That seems unlikely. What’s going on?
Upgrading an original Specialized P1
/5 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHi, Lee Recently inherited an Original Specialized P1. Just out of curiosity did you keep yours? Are they worth keeping if one was upgraded with nicer components for their time? Would it be worth going all out and upgrading to newer/lighter/stronger more today’s components? The one we have the “naked lady” is still pretty cherry […]
Is it safe to cut your handlebars too short?
/2 Comments/in Equipment/by leelikesbikesI was recently setting up one of my clients, a 5’4″ female, and her optimal bar width was narrower than the minimum width marked on her Spank Oozy 760 Vibrocore handlebar. Rather than guess, I asked Mike Dutton, sales director at Spank, whether it’s safe to cut narrower than the “max cut” mark on the […]
Where should I put my foot on the pedal?
/6 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, Where is the ideal place to put the pedal under my foot? Should it be more under the ball of my foot or in the middle of my arch? Chris
Manualing and hopping a Specialized Fuse
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee How well does the Fuse manual and bunny hop? I ride a Chromag 26″ Hard tail. It is a great bike to mix in some trials type moves. The down side is the 27.2 dropper seat post options. The Fuse looks like the best of both worlds with the traction it has. Thanks John
Pinning it on narrow, grass-lined trails
/2 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I am enjoying your advice on your website. Any advice on how to focus and go fast on narrow trails with grass growing along them (ie Colorado Roaring Judy in Crested Butte)? I feel very confident on rooty, technical trails but as soon as enter into a narrow, foliage-lined trail I get concerned […]
Help my switchbacks! – Quickie answer
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, Hope all is well. As I am pinning down my XTERRA training for this upcoming season in May, I’m still at a loss with cornering going downhill on tight switchbacks. Right now, I don’t have the confidence to lay off the brakes when I’m in the apex of the turn. Granted, I don’t […]
Tire upgrade for 2012 Stumpy Expert 29?
/4 Comments/in 29ers, Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee I have the same Stumpjumper Expert 2012 you have. Mine has original shocks and has carbon Roval rims Been riding a 2.3 Ground Control front and 2.1 Captain rear. I have a 2.4 Purgatory I could put on front and move the Ground Control to rear. My friends have 27.5 Nomads etc. We ride […]
Specialized Fuse Pro ride #2
/4 Comments/in Equipment, Reviews/by leelikesbikesThis bike’s first ride turned into a mess of crusty/melty snow and slick mud. Not impressive. Friday night’s adventure? Rad! It showed what this bike can do.
Learning to shred in the flatland
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I go to school in a relatively flat area, Southern Illinois, which only has easy cross country trails around. I feel like I prefer Enduro riding style and want to ride more trails with drops and jumps. But in this area there are no places I can even practice jumping and I can’t […]
How is this jump?
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHello Lee, This weekend I went to Rockville in California. There was a really cool jump there, and I took a video of it (link below). Can you watch the video and tell me if there is any thing I need to work on? Ryan P.
