Hey Lee, thanks for the indoor training article.
I’ll look to integrate your ideas with the DB Combo program at the start of Jan. when I make my monthly adjustments.
Any thoughts on doing the intervals before or after weight training?
Cheers Greg
HELP!!!
A friend has a RP3 with an eye to eye of 7.875″ and a stroke of 2.25″. Will this work on a 2003 Specialized Enduro Expert?????
Thanks!

Lee,
If you are a pro, can you deduct bike related stuff on your taxes? I always wondered what you could get away with.
Thanks.
Lee,
I am 39 years old, 5 foot 7 at 135 pounds and live in California (green/red sticker). I got a used little 1998 kx80 a year ago to see if I like dirt biking.
Of course I do, so now I need a bigger bike but a 125/250 seem too big for me. I can just barely tippy toe when sitting on one. I know people way smaller than me ride full size bikes and I should be on a full size bike, but I guess I am just intimidated by the size and power of the bike.
Do you think I should get a kx 100 or get the full size bike?
Brian

Hello Lee
When pedaling on a DH I’m often in the false (too light or heavy) gear so I thought about how pros do it. Do they plan their shifting, e.g. “before the 5th corner I have to shift to 4th gear?” Or how do they manage to be in the right gear?

Sticky shoes and quality flat pedals can restrict your on-pedal movement more than clip-in shoes and pedals. If you’re used to a little float, you might feel confined in your 5.10s. Bruce in Vancouver is feeling the pinch.

Hey Lee,
I’m in the early stages of building a backyard track with thanks to inspiration from your site and the awesome e-book. Over the weekend I started the process with building a 180 berm that is confined in a tight corner of our yard. The space between a fence and shed measures only about 10′ across so I’m actually building a wall with some landscaping wood and rebar to support the backside of the berm and save room for the berm itself. …
