Found some videos of the loops. Djerriwarrh I believe it's called. Looks like challenging but fun riding.

How short it too short for a 29" rear wheel on an enduro/dh bike?
I hear a lot of talk about short people getting a tyre up the bum on steep descents so running a mullet instead. I wouldn't consider myself particularly short nor tall, wondering what the go is. My HT is 29" and I've never encountered this phenomenon, but I'm not riding anything very steep on it

I’m about 168 and never had a problem. I’m not a particularly gnarly rider though. The one time I did wipe my bum with the tire was more a technique issue then anything. I’ve never ridden 27.5 though so I’m pretty aware of the room I have to move about.
I’m 178cm and have had the tyre vs date experience a few times on the hardtail. The pucker factor was fairly high before the encounter though as it was very steep and technical

First time doing that steep rock roll at you yangs. Was paranoid, looked so steep and hard (in reality wasn't bad at all, the b line is much harder!). Had my weight all the way back, took out some skin, missed the discharge hole thankfully.

Now I'm no longer working at a shop, I've been slowly buying all the expensive tools I've become accustomed too and am going to miss.
I ordered a Parktool DAG 2.2 hanger tool and to my surprise, it looks super misaligned. We only had the old DAG 2s at my store, so my questions are
Is this normal for the DAG 2.2s?
and
Even though I know it doesn't affect the function as the misalignment is constant, is it unreasonable to be shitty that it's like this and want it replaced under warranty?

Mines not quite that bad but still on the piss a little. May also depend if you have it locked off. It will still work as intended thoughNow I'm no longer working at a shop, I've been slowly buying all the expensive tools I've become accustomed too and am going to miss.

I can’t use them…but I regularly reuse spokes. I’m sure @The Duckmeister would be horrified if he knew.

Definitely should have gone to specsavers
Definitely looks a bit ordinary. Here's mine in comparison. Is almost looks your square tube isn't welded on at 45 degrees. Or is it the holes in the folded piece of sheet metal that forms the clamping bit?Now I'm no longer working at a shop, I've been slowly buying all the expensive tools I've become accustomed too and am going to miss.

Has a juicy midrange
I reasonably frequently rebuild with used spokes, no problems. Just use new nipples. If they're the right lengths for another build, use them.

I don't want to buy this thing, but when I saw it i couldn't help but think it looked like an older style Santa Cruz knock off. Or are my eyes fucked?

I've also not heard of the brand before either. Apparently they had been around since 1994...

It looks as if the rectangular shaft is slightly rotated where it's welded onto the head of the tool, as opposed to the clamping mechanism being off-centre.
I'm fully aware that it will still work the same, but when you pay out the ass for Parktool stuff you general expect it to be pretty good quality.

Definitely looks like an older Santa Cruz and good spec for the money.

Yes...like the V2 Bronson, high tower, and so on. Must be some expired patent exploitation going on. A whole bike for less than an SC frame? Outlandish.

Outlandish, or simply sensible pricing. You be the judge
