Nick Lester is a data acquisition and telemetry specialist who has worked at Commencal bicycles and been a mechanic and data acquisition guy for the Commencal 100% team. We sat down to hear how Nick got involved in the data side of downhill riding and racing. Hear how Nick works with data systems and what he’s learnt from his time working with some of the top riders. Nick loves a puzzle so we dig into bike and cockpit setup and the impact it can have on how the bike rides. We talk about suspension set up, what the different adjustments do and what feelings on the bike might lead to us wanting to change certain settings. There’s lots to learn here, so sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Nick Lester.
