Gum surgery: One week later
I had a checkup yesterday, and all is healing well. Here’s a recap of my first week with Thread in My Mouth.
Walking and rocking
Hi all. This time of year, with limited daylight and seemingly infinite obligations, I’m all about the quick, effective, from-my-doorstep workouts. Here’s a current favorite:
Little bike and pump track for teenage girl?
Hey Lee.
I was wondering if you had any suggestions for a 14 year old girl, 5’7″, 140 lbs. pump track and free ride bikes. We kind of have a budget and can’t get too expensive. What bikes would you recommend?
And also, would a 20×30 space work for a small practice pump track? Or would we have to find a larger space?

Rollin’ a Stumpy
I just got back from an XC ride on a 2007 Stumpjumper Expert. I’ve been riding Enduros exclusively on trail for over a year, and you know what? The Stumpy feels good.
Pump track sustainability
hi Lee, i purchased the ebook Welcome to Pump Track Nation a while back and am now scripting a proposal for our local parks. one concern is of course sustainability. i know that tracks treat their dirt with something to harden it up. do you know that is and have you used it?
thanks, john

I have thread in my gums!
I got some rockin’ gum surgery this past Thursday, and so far so good. I took a Percocet a few hours ago, so forgive the syntax. Of note:
Talas 36 and 2.3 tires on my Stumpy?
Lee,
I love my 2007 Stumpjumper FSR but I think it is slowing down my riding progression. In the past 3 years, I went from a hardtail 1993 Stumpjumper (steel frame with Manitou Mach V forks – creepy elastomer spring), to a used 2001 Fisher Sugar 3, to my current ride.

The strongest saddle rails?
hey Lee,
i am a bigger guy, 6′ and 250 lbs. i have a question about saddles. what is stronger, the chromoly rails, or the titanium rails? i am 15 years past caring about gram weight; i just want the strongest saddle. at the same time, i like a sleek racer saddle, so i don’t want some brick like jumping seat.

Lee hates gum recession dot com
Do you remember Timmy the Tooth? He said, if you brush and floss every day, you’ll keep your teeth forever. Well, it turns out there’s more to that story.
Racing 4X with one gear?
Hi Lee, i was wondering if it’s possible to race 4X with a single speed bike and be successful with racing? Let me know what you think.
Thanks, Cameron
