Chromag Announces 2024 Clothing Line
@paulskibum: Yah my personal experience of actually owning them, and wearing them is wrong… makes total sense.
Im aware the inseam listed on their site says 31” for the size 32. However, after seeing the riders in their photos, they sit quite high above the ankle. The length on my short legs is more like a standard length pant, but with the overall slimness/fit they are perfect and not baggy or too long all.
Much better than a current 32 waist TLD pant, which could be pulled up to my arm pits and still be too long.

Chromag Announces 2024 Clothing Line
For any vertically challenged folk who struggle to find a riding pant that fits short legs nicely. I ordered a pair of the Seton pants about a month ago in a 32 waist and they fit perfect. I’m 5’7” with a 28-29” inseam. Every other pant I’ve bought recently are way too long and end up fitting super baggy and having them hemmed sucks as then the leg proportions are all off.

Ethirteen lever is great too and is almost identical to this!

Looks standard, the seat is almost level with the bars. Looks like she's standing on a downslope, which makes her appear a bit shorter.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes
@Swangarten: you dont need ot run the manitou lever specifically... damn near every single dropper manufacturer makes a SRAM matchmaker compatible lever.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes
@likeittacky: I do agree they should. I remember when the dominions first came out I was told by a Hayes rep that a dropper side matchmaker was going to come out... but thats like 4 years ago or so now lol. I had a set of the Avid ones in a drawer and just had the thought to see if the clamp bolts were the same distance apart and sure enough they were... The bolt side of the lever body on the dominions must be a few millimeters longer, cuz yah you do have to sand down the Avid ones a bit, otherwise they won't tighten enough.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes
@likeittacky: Don't need a Hayes specific ones. Go buy a set of the SRAM/Avid matchmakers (the two bolt clamp style for their cheaper brakes) and then sand down the clamping faces a few millimeters on them. Work perfectly, Ive ran them this way on my Dominions for the last 4 seasons and theyre also cheap af.

Review: Hayes Dominion T2 Brakes
@generalistgrant: gotcha, so you run them the complete opposite of me haha. Im familiar with the "over-bleeding" process for other brakes (mostly guides), but have never heard of people doing it with dominions. The pads already sit with an extremely minimal space to the rotor, so I could see adjusting them to not rub being an extreme PITA.
