Wanted to thank you
/2 Comments/in Reader mail/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I bought Mastering Mountain Bike Skills several years ago and made it my bible for quite a while. A couple years later, I started getting cocky about my riding skills and forgot all about the book. I stacked it hard about a month ago, managing to knock myself out, separate and dislocate my […]

Ripping it with the XTERRA pros
/1 Comment/in Coaching/by leelikesbikesIt’s been a big year with XTERRA triathletes. First a how-to-rip spread in Tri Magazine, then a weekend camp with pro Cody Waite and his EPC Multisport team, then two days with world champion Conrad Stoltz and, yesterday, a fun session with pros Branden Rakita, Renata Bucher and Jessi Stensland. I love teaching beginners how […]
Stumpy 29 EVO too long to turn?
/7 Comments/in 29ers, Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesHey Lee I’m a happy owner of Stumpjumper FSR 29 2012. As I read, you have the EVO version of the same bike. My question is regarding the wheelbase: Compared to my old Scott Genius 26er the wheelbase is rather long. The EVO has an even longer wheelbase. What do you think about steering through […]
Pilates on the pump track
/6 Comments/in Pump tracks, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLast week my wife and I took a private Pilates class, and it turns out I suck at sitting, standing, walking and pretty much everything else. Our teacher Jordan at Rally Sport Boulder gave me some homework, and I’ve been mixing it into my everyday activities.
Frustrated by switchbacks
/8 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training, Trail/by leelikesbikesLee, Super bummed you are not heading to NorCal, but I am hoping I can ask you one question though. My Kryptonite is switchbacks, I have the absolute worst time on them. I have read your book, taken a few skills clinics (other companies) just plain tried to ride them, and I have the hardest […]

BRAIN upgrade for Stumpy?
/6 Comments/in Ask Lee, Equipment/by leelikesbikesLee, in the 300+ hours I’ve been crafting a pump track this summer i’ve been doing a thought experiment on the “Swiss Army Knife” bike i want to buy in the spring. I’m pretty much concrete on a Stumpy 29er but limited funds will probably = entry spec bike. During the summer I tested an […]
Short stem leads to awkward position
/12 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesLee, I am 5′ 9″ guy working to dial in his fit on an 18″ El Mariachi frame. I began with a 75mm stem and low rise bars. Felt a bit too much forward weight bias, had trouble lofting the front end over curbs and logs, lacked room to move about on the bike. Decided […]
