A bit about gearing
/9 Comments/in Ask Lee, Tech tips/by leelikesbikesHi Lee! I’m hoping you could help explain gear ratios and maybe shed some light on which gear ratios are unnecessary. Here’s the situation: I have a customer that is using the Sram Red compact double (50-34). In the back she is using the new Sram Apex long cage rear derailleur. She is also using […]

Losing the front end in turns
/4 Comments/in Ask Lee, Coaching, Skills/training/by leelikesbikesHi Lee, I’ve been a fan of your site and 1st edition for a couple of years now.

Pump track design critique #1
/1 Comment/in Ask Lee, Pump tracks, Trail building/by leelikesbikesLee- We finally were able to get going on the design for our city bike park. Based on the information I got from your book, I’ve come up with the attached preliminary lay-out for the pump track. I wonder if you can take a few minutes and provide your input. To be honest with you, […]
Great book, is there a video?
/2 Comments/in Reader mail/by leelikesbikesHi Lee Bought your book when I randomly found it on the internet (got to admit, it having the words ‘Brian Lopes’ on the front cover helped persuade me!!). I got into MTB aged 40, two Christmas’s ago when I decided it was time to get fit and keep up with my son (11) so […]
