Sure did: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/isabeau-courdurier-has-branch-pierce-her-foot-at-ews-e-valberg.html. Might be time for some titanium insoles.

First Ride: 2024 Yeti SB165 - Now With Mixed Wheels

@warmerdamj, some of it has to do with the seat tube angles of modern bikes. On bikes with slacker seat angles you can run a post with less drop, because of the angle it moves as it's lowered. With a steep seat tube angle, it's positioned more directly underneath your buddy throughout its travel, so more drop is necessary. Also, I like steep trails and want my seat out of the way when I'm descending.

First Ride: 2024 Yeti SB165 - Now With Mixed Wheels

@justinfoil, I'm sure a 210 OneUp would fit, I haven't done the math on other posts. 240 is too long for me - the vast majority of the time I'm happy with a 210 - 220mm post.

That's a 200mm post in the photos - you can see how much of the fixed portion is exposed. I don't think dropper post insertion will be too much of an issue on this bike.

First Ride: Fox Releases New Grip X & Grip X2 Dampers

It's nice to have a reliable trail bike around for testing parts / suspension, and the Fuel's been holding up well.

The Pinkbike Podcast: Remi Gauvin on Racing, How Everything Changes & Being "Spotted" on a Prototype Bike

We started Music Corner last year as a way to share our latest musical discoveries / guilty pleasures. Sometimes it's nice to talk about something other than bikes, bikes, and more bikes. It was inspired by NPR, not NSMB, but I do like seeing what editors on other sites are listening to as well.
