Hidden Treasures From the 'For Sale' Fence at Sea Otter 2024
The downside is that weird yoke rear shock which makes it hard to replace/repair if anything goes wrong with it. A colleague of mine spent far to much to get theirs fixed after the shock failed.

Pole Bicycles Has Filed for Bankruptcy
@somebody-else: That was my assumption from the Sea Otter departure - shutting up shop at very short notice.

Chromag Announces 2024 Clothing Line
@qman11: I wasnt saying your experience was wrong - I am actually thinking that the Chromag sizing is wrong. My legs are broadly the same length as yours but my waist needs me to go to a size listed as two inches shorter which I then worry means the dimensions are off in the same way as you describe for the stupid long pants.
Clothing sizing is stupid - when I find things that fit me I always amazed and should just buy up all available stock.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Getting to Know Henry Quinney
I have been getting up and having a cold shower in the first rays of sunlight in my back garden while drinking lemon, salt and battery acid for a month now and my neighbours think I am a creep so you might be on to something.

5 Things We Learned from the Mairiporã XC World Cup 2024
@ROOTminus1: There was a section of track that was too narrow and jungle lined for cameras unfortunately. Cant have it all I guess unless they slash and burn a bit more rainforest.

Additionally - the sizing chart would suggest you are wrong as it says the inseam on the 32 is 31" - I would be in the size 28 for both inseam (I am 29" inseam) and waist but if you are right they would be running pretty short on my pins.
Looking at the photos they do look pretty short on the models shown though.

I bought (and returned) a chromag riding tee because it fitted like a dress in a size small on my 5'5 figure. Pant inseam is the least of my worries!

Video: Official Highlights from the Mairiporã XC World Cup 2024
@w0dge: No app for Flobikes.tv in Canada so I had the mirror to TV experience with limited control on app for broadcast which was a little annoying. Coverage was pretty good but one point on course where attacks happened wasnt covered by cameras which left the viewer and commentators in limbo while the riders passed through that section.
Will be watching next weekend for sure now I have paid (or wife has paid as she bought me the sub).

How to Watch the 2024 Mountain Bike World Cup [Update: Staylive Offering Access in New Zealand, South Africa & More]
@chrispaulcx: I was discussing the price dilemma with my wife and she decided to buy me the subscription for my birthday (which was nice of her). I now feel compelled to watch every race in full.
I watched the XC from this weekend - coverage was pretty decent but there is a section of the track with no cameras (thick jungle either side from what I could see in the POV preview) which happened to be a good attack point so we often lost the leaders mid attack and had to wait to see if it stuck.
Also Flosport app sucks when streaming to a TV - hard to fast forward and limited functionality.
