Hi Lee,
I am looking to buy a new wheelset for my bike. i have an ‘09 Sx Trail which I use for All Mountain, Light Free-ride, and some DH. I need lighter wheels than i currently have. I have researched the DT Swiss E2200’s and have found that they are inexpensive, strong, and light. I am very eager to buy them as they fit my riding style and are in my price range. I just wanted to get an opinion on those wheels. Would you recommend them?
Thanks,
Matt

Hey Lee,
I wanted your expert opinion on buying an ‘09 Epic. I currently have a ‘06 Stumpjumper and a lot of maintenance is needed to get it to racing shape. I race XC but want a bike that can handle the occasional super d and will be fairly durable. Do you think that the Epic is capable?
Thank you, Davis

I just got back from a PowerMax workout at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine, and I’m not sure I’m lucid yet, but …
… to paraphrase Veruca Salt in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, “I want a CompuTrainer, and I want a CompuTrainer NOW!!!!”

Sorry about the various issues over the past few days, including my non-posting. My host, PowWeb, made a mistake on their backend. They seem to have sorted it out.
Coming as soon as I get a chance: Breaking in brake pads.

Our friend Carla has been riding a 24″ cruiser, and she has two questions: 1) Should she rock a 20, and 2) what size should she be riding?

G’day Lee,
You were very helpful on pump track building tips for me a few years ago, I’m also a friend of Jason Smith (moto stud).
Anyway a friend of mine crashed and split her arm open 3.75″ long and 3/4″ wide 10 days ago. She is signed up for the Downieville DH but is thinking she may have to pull out because the jarring through the bars causes allot of discomfort. She is riding a Turner 5 Spot with a Lyric fork. Any words of wisdom would be appreciated. Only thing I can think of is Novocaine.
