What’s the deal with UST tires burbing? I have problemns with either wheel wanting to burb and it usualy ends up with me on my butt onthe side of the trail. Even the rear wheel wants to burb on a landing off a small jump like off a root or a rock, Am i doing something wrong Lee?

Hey Lee,
If i have UST wheels, can i make a non ust tire tubeless? if so how?

Hi Lee,
The bigger they are the harder they fall. Or jump.
So I’ve just found the local jump spot and I want to start building up my jump-fu. There’s a bunch of jumps from 2ft high table tops to 6ft high doubles and so a nice learning curve, but my question is this. As a heavy rider (+230lbs) riding a full squishy is there anything different I need to be doing to get airborne? I got your book and that’s been a lot of help, but I’m guessing I’m not going to able to lift the bike as easily as the 150lbs bmx/hardtail riders I see sailing through the air. More speed? More compression and release on the up ramp?
Cheers, Marz

I’ve been digging Specialized Resolution tires, but as cool as they are, Specialized is superseding them with the new Eskar. I got my mitts on a pair of the new meats, and here’s what I think after two XC rides.
Time is the only true way to measure results, and the latest version of the DMC Moto-Trainer is the best timer out there. Improve your riding. Have more fun. Double-check the dubious timing company!

Two very different tires with a common mission: all-around, everyday riding that includes road, dirt jump, pump, trail and teaching clinics. I’ve spent a summer with both. Here’s the report:

I’ve been braaaping these tires for a season now, and — although they don’t let me ride like a complete idiot — I dig ’em.
You wanna see some great riding? Check out the final motos from last week’s BMX Worlds in Canada. All classes, baby!

Thanks to Chris Powell for the heads-up.
Hey Lee I have an 07 Enduro SL Comp and I also have a bike I am parting out that has a new Chris King Headset in it. Will a standard Chris King 1-1/8″ fit the Enduro SL? I would like to switch it out before I sell the parts off if it will fit. The reason I ask is I have heard that Specialized uses a slightly oversized headset cup.
Thanks
Glen
