Pinkbike Poll: What's Your Preferred Brake Lever Setup?
XS gloves clamp far from the grips? hmm idk I'd need an explanation. as size large my only unusual traits are I like the brake clamped far AND i like early bite point (yes i suffer massive arm pump, I'm working on balancing these settings more)

Will be interesting if ANY of the polls don't just devolve into the medium answer for each setting.

@billreilly: In that case, you should have clarified that the race you listed was XC only! (See how that's kinda annoying?)

@chrismac70: to... stay in the EU for 3.5 months? as anyone outside the EU? ideally, for privateers across the globe, there would be an EU block then an NA block with at least one round outside of EU/NA, rotating out yearly or something... to expose different areas and local privateers. mens elite champ is US, juniors womens champ is US, juniors men champ is NZ. its just awkwardly represented...

Pinkbike Poll: Should Bigger Bikes Have Longer Chainstays?
@powellriviera: Kinda. Short travel 275 is basically on the chopping block. Once the Shadowcat is gone, I think that's it. Also with some XC rigs going to 65, and the standard being 66, anything steeper is probably fairly nonexistent. But yeah, we've heard a lot about reducing SKUs when removing those niche models, but there's plenty room for new 32ers coming in lol. Can't make money selling old designs, aka used bikes...

Pinkbike Poll: Should Bigger Bikes Have Longer Chainstays?
@gregnangatang: now I'm curious... Think my bike is 1.8? 777 vs 430? Would need a 460mm chainstay (same as reach) to get 1.69, dang

Pinkbike Poll: Should Bigger Bikes Have Longer Chainstays?
Yep, a better question would be... Should the ratio of wheelbase (rear to front center) be different between frame sizes OR be different between riding genres. Picking an exact number for any frame size ignores a ton of things, one of them being the silly sizing of like Canyons and Pivots and what not.
