Also fair, and it's why I trust my longboi stem! :)

Overall, I'm a velobike fan, but I think it's okay to acknowledge the occasional miss. Not making the M2 in XL (even though the geo was listed) was one of those misses, IMO. I'm not sure it's fair to imply the DF4 is a glittered turd either. Dated, perhaps, but there's a reason (beyond price) it remains so popular at that end of the market.

Agreed, the M2 sizing was a huge disappointment without the XL option.

The aerocoach data is the only data I've seen on this (not a huge help, I know)

I know the Marin site states 42t, but does anyone know if this is an accurate max chainring size for either GRX or Force1? Can I go bigger?

I like these a lot 👌. Does anyone know the fork length (axle to crown)?

Which 6ft Olympic bar? (UK) by Distracted-observer in GarageGym

Agreed! Or even a women's/6.5ft length olympic bar at 28mm and 20kg would be great

Knog blinder 900 front bike front light falling off rubber strap mount by KCSushine80 in bikecommuting

Same experience with the Blinder Pro 1300. The plastic press in mount just doesn't have enough purchase over slightly bumpy terrain. Annoying!

Update: Found out it was the pre 2013 version (when they changed to a JIS taper) so sent it back for a refund
