Hi Lee,
I was thinking lately about the whole 9speed thing in DH and 4X.
You can get almost the same gear range with a 8speed and you’ll get smoother and more precise shifting.
So why do most of the guys ride with 9speed?
Cheers,
Simo

Hey Lee,
What is the best chain for 4x out there? I’ve been snappin’ my Shimano chains and it hurts.
Thanks,

Hi Lee, I just got my new Specialized Demo 8 frame, and I built it up with parts I already had laying around, with hopes of upgrading in the future. I know you have been riding one of these for a while, and I was wondering what fork feels balanced with this frame? Right now I have a 2002 monster T, and it feels heavy for the bike, but I haven’t ridden it off road yet. I plan on lots of riding at Keystone this season. I’ve had my eye on a new Travis, what do you think of these on the Demo 8s? Thanks, man
Eric

You gotta love this long, twisty pump through the trees. Rumor has it it’s in Commerce City, CO, and they’re still digging …

I usually stay out of the mass media stuff, but let me save you money and disappointment. DO NOT see Underworld: Evolution. The only redeeming qualities: 1). Brief but high-quality nudity. 2) I got a couple nice naps — but the heroine kept waking me up with inanities.

We had a great backyard session today. Snow, ice and mud made things slow and sketchy, but still:
Miles pumped: 4.5
Laps per mile: 30
Fastest time for three laps: 23.5 sec.
Fastest time for 10 laps: 1:24*
Top speed: 20.2 mph
So fun — and such great training. 1 … 2 …. 3 … Sea Otter!

* My times (goals) – 3 laps 26.5 sec. (24 sec), 10 laps 1:36 (1:26)
Hi Lee, I have an 05 Enduro and want to upgrade to a coil shock, from the 5th Element Air. In particular I’m interested in the new Cane Creek Double Barrel shock. I was wondering through your contacts if you have heard any reports or tried this shock on the new Enduro frame.
