Flat pedals for enduro racing?
/22 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHey Lee! What do you think about using flat pedals for high level XC and Enduro DH racing? I have been a clipless guy for years but have recently made the switch back and have found that I prefer flats, mostly because they are just more fun. It seems like everyone (literally) racing expert level […]
Captain America 29er?
/9 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesLee, Have you given any thought to a 29er version of Captain America? How do you think a do-it-all bike with 29er wheels would go for occasional pump and jump? Thanks, Ben from Melbourne, Australia
Pedaling while pump-manualing?
/13 Comments/in Ask Lee, BMX, Pump tracks, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesThis question is spurred by Pedaling in attack position? Lee, Do you have any pro tips how to pump-manual while still pedalling?

Enduro racing, terrain is something like Superenduro in Italy or Trans Provence. One day race, total distance about 30 miles. Which tyre is better: 2,35 or 2,5 from Maxxis ? Both are Minion 2ply (lots […]
Pedaling in attack position?
/5 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHey Lee, I hope you don’t mind I’m emailing you. I am reading your Mastering Mountain Bike Skills book and just had a quick question. It’s actually quite simple and maybe a bit silly. Do you actually pedal in the Attack Position? Or is the attack position used when you are off the gas so […]
Specialized Camber vs. Stumpjumper in Texas (and elsewhere)
/3 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesIn Bike for Texas (and other) trails?, Scott asked about switching from a Stumpy 29 to a Camber 29 for the rocky trails in Austin, TX. I told him I enjoyed the Camber on his terrain, and that he should give one a try. Well, he did.
Riding a fixie
/3 Comments/in Ask Lee, Skills/training, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHi Lee — since reading your skills book I’ve been working on my pedal stroke on my commute. I’m in Chicago and I’m thinking of switching my single-speed to a fixed gear for more control in snow and ice. Any advice on how this will affect pedal stroke or what to focus on? Would using […]

/11 Comments/in Reviews/by leelikesbikesDang, just when I was about to get “29” tattooed on my chest, in came a set of high-end SRAM carbon 26er trail wheels. Never has my Stumpy felt so alive.
