Lezyne has announced its latest sponsorship agreement with Richie Schley for the 2011 season.

Lezyne began working with the Schley since early in the 2010 season and finalised the agreement in late November.

“We are stoked to be working with such a prolific pioneer as The Schleyer,” said Lezyne’s marketing manager Patrick Ribera-McKay.

“He is a mountain bike legend who has helped define the freeride movement. Richie’s relaxed yet professional attitude and passion for the bike is a perfect match to the growing worldwide popularity of Lezyne.”

Schley will exclusively use Lezyne’s award-winning hand pumps, floor pumps, multi-tools, saddle bags, bottle cages and tire repair tools.
