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!!!!”
Lee,
I’ve finally decided to get a new fork for my Blur LT. After much consideration and nearly 2 years on the 32 TALAS (recently rebuilt), I’ve decided to sell
the 32 and buy an 09 36 TALAS RC2. I have a wheel with 20mm hub (gift from a friend), but not sure if it’s burly enough (Sun) with no name hub. I have faith in my LBS and will follow their advice, but do you have any input? I currently have mostly LX components on bike. Current wheels have been great for 2 years on Montara Mountain (Mavic 321 with LX hubs).
Should I buy a hub (if so, suggestion?) and relace to the Mavic? Or run the sun with the mystery hub and upgrade later?
I’m still NOT hucking or dropping anything worth mentioning, but I do ride hard and heavy (200lbs with gear) on rocky terrain (with light hands) 😉
Take care. Tony
Many of the entires had obvious grammatical errors, which hurt my heart, but the rest were pretty darn good.

You know how it is: You really want to ride your bike, but sometimes you can’t get out to ride, and, besides, off-bike training is good for you.
hey lee-
i am super lucky and super psyched. i’ve been invited to do an indoor mtb timetrial at ray’s indoor bike park in ohio.
2009 Tri-Flow XC Indoor Challenge at Ray’s Indoor MTB Park
was wondering if you’ve ever ridden there and if you have any advice. i’m racing my hardtail which i feel pretty good on. per the website, the course sounds like mostly xc riding and 2 technical lines. don’t know what you could say, but thought i’d ask. i’m reviewing mastering mountain bike skills by some guy l. mccormack as we speak.;)
thanks!

Ah, it feels great to ride. Yesterday a small crew of us rocked the pump track at The Fix here in Boulder.
Let’s meet the cast, shall we?
Hey Lee, Great to hear you are out riding again!
Your post sparked a few questions about your bike set up and training.
This past Sunday, 32 days after shoulder surgery and after several weeks of 12-hour workdays, I got to ride some trail.
How was it? Even better than expected.

Hey all, I’m sorry leelikesbikes has been so stale. I’ve been pinned with a few major projects, including a site redesign and new software tools for the commercial mortgage backed securities market (yeah, sick!).
Lee,
I was wondering if when I see for example Darren Berrecloth in ROAM, does he really ride on Spec SX trail? That SX trail which I can buy from my local dealer?? or is it kinda special SX- only Darren- trail?;) The same for example with Gee Atherton rockin’ on Reign in Anti Gravity 2?…couse..if it can handle Gee or Darren for sure it will handle me;)
Greetings for new year from Poland 😉

I just did MTB trainer James Wilson’s January combo drill, and it’s pretty sweet. Check it out:
