Video: Max Fredriksson’s Perspective on Why the Male Slopestyle Riders Decided to Not Compete at Crankworx Rotorua
Too bad you can't put a motor on a slopestyle bike... someone's beer at your favorite industry sponsor gets held.

Review: Formula Belva Dual-Crown Enduro Fork
For anyone else interested in DCs specifically for their reduced axle to crown length, here's what Formual states on their site:
575mm-585mm at 170mm of travel
585mm-595mm at 180mm of travel
https://www.rideformula.com/products/mtb-forks/belva/
Based on the shape of the lower crown, I assume the range is for different wheel sizes... which means this thing has the same fixed AtC length as the 38. This seems like a missed opportunity. There are people out there that want more travel, but don't want to raise the front end. DHs DCs offer this adjustment flexibility, why not this one?

Opinion: Do We Need Size-Specific Chainstays?
Tall skinny guy here. I figured this out years ago. Appropriate chainstay length has more to do with weight than it does height.
I'm now on a 435mm rear center with around 865mm front center. If I could make it a 430mm rear center, i would.

Video: Anneke Beerten's Course Preview for the 2024 Paris Olympics XCO Test Event
Honestly, riding this on a motorized pedal-less throttle electric bike would have been a better look. The ebike just makes it seem like she's incapable of casually riding an XC course, or can't hang with her athlete friend.
Than again, the Olympics has always been poor optics for the 'sport'

Tested: Do Short Cranks Work For Tall Riders?
193cm... Shortest I've tried is 170, also settled on 180. Mostly to reduce saddle height, but also for sustained climbs. It looks like Tweed Valley's tallest climb is 1000m or so, and I'm guessing long climbs aren't ride of choice for Cathro.
Horses for courses, also why ya'll pedaling through chunk anyway... just hold the cranks level & keep your heels low, get with the program.
