41-pound Demo 9 !!!???!!!
Lee-
I’ve seen mention of your Demo 9 that was in the low 40’s. Can you post some pictures of it and the parts spec?
What did you think of it?
Thanks
Scott
It’s all about the watts
Yesterday I joined local stud Jon Watt for a 2.5-hour road ride. It was all about watts — in more way than one.

Skate park madness No. 2
Last week I took a bunch of monkeys to the Woodward skate park in Lakewood, CO. — and it was extra-double-fun. It’s so non-linear and playful, everything we do is a treat.
Tips for jersey design
This time of year everyone is scrambling to design new jerseys. If you’re smart, you’ll think this through very carefully. Here are a few things I’ve learned over the past few seasons.
First moto for MTBer
Hey Lee,
I have finally decided that I want to get some sort of dirt bike but not sure what to get. I am 5’7″ and 135 lbs. and I have been riding bmx, slalom, mt cross and dh stuff for a long time (i am 37) but have never ridden a dirt bike. What I want most is a fun bike that is also reliable. I am not planning on doing big jumps or anything probably mostly more like trails and maybe some little table top jumps at most. Stuff at Metcalf and Hollister. I was thinking of a ttr125L, any ideas?
Thanks, Brian

Ideal standover height and top tube length?
Lee,
I have two questions about proper bike fit that, unfortunately, the first chapter of your book did not cover: (1) how important is standover height?; and (2) how do you determine the proper top-tube length?

Gearing for 4x/DS racing
Hey, Lee.
First-Thank you and thank Brian for writing that book! It’s really made me a much better rider and racer.
Second: I’m getting ready for the 2007 4X racing season, and I’m thinking of changing my rear cassette from a MTB (11-32) to the road cassette (11-25), but I’m not sure why I’d do this, other than your book suggests this. I just want to make a good decision before I throw down the cash!
Thank you, Lee!
Bob
