Review: Versus All Mountain Trail Tires - Direct to Consumer & Straight to the Point
Agreed. TBS has great deals and if I order tires today they're on my doorstep tomorrow. Versus tires will no doubt be longer shipping from wherever they're located. Canadian website versus tire price is $94 for the trail casing. Still expensive.

Review: Akta's Trail Apparel & Protection Line
6'5 with a 36in inseam here. A friend had told me that NF pants fit longer than their stated inseam. I opted to buy a pair of DP4s in the long inseam and I do agree they fit more like a 36in. I think you can contact them and they'll make you a longer pair of their stuff.

Randoms Round 3 - Sea Otter 2023
I picked up a Helix cassette this season. It was a little different to install but once I figured it out it's fine (I need to really push the lower cogs to get them in place and you need to have the set screw out to lock it in place. Missed that step the first time). Only have like 10 rides on it so far but performance has been roughly the same as my other X01 cassette and was considerably cheaper. We'll see how long it lasts but so far so good.

Online Deals - March 31, 2023
Sale prices not available in Canada so must be overstocking issues at retailers in the states.

Online Deals - March, 2023
Noticed specialized and yeti have discounts on their complete bikes and frames in the US but not in Canada. Spec also not doing direct to consumer or deliver to bike shops anymore either. Gotta find a dealer and ask about their stock levels.

Opinion: Five Things The Bike Industry Could Do Better
Also 6'5 and I too buy forks separate with uncut steerers and still put 40-50mm rise bars on. Basically can never buy a used fork and brand new bikes have their bars so low to the ground I may as well be in aero testing TT bikes.

Buying a Bike From a Shop Versus Buying Online
Did specialized actually go direct to consumer in Canada? Their website removed the "available online" option quite a while ago. Only option is retailer and everything looks full price. Meanwhile their bikes are discounted in the US and available online, I think?
