The UCI haven't made things as simple as having a universal maximum sock length. They can only come to half way between your ankle and your knee. They have a special tool to measure it and everything.

A lot of carbons and travel expense for free socks? I try to stay positive but I’ve not read anything useful to me from Sea Otter..

@wheelsonfire1 I paid for this trip myself. I saw my husband, who I haven’t seen for 7 months, talked to many many potential advertisers and product developers, and got a bunch of short stories that some other people have enjoyed. It also gave me a break from the daily, which is generally good for creative thinking and new ideas. For me, Sea Otter is the most useful event in the bike calendar, ticking more boxes than Eurobike, which doesn’t have the same creative effect.

@darlobiker Mind blown. I now want to do a round up of niche tools of the UCI!

Those Qeja ones look nice. Pity they don't seem to ship to Europe 🙁

I used to like my Singletrack ones with an SPD cleat pattern on the bottom.  Any more of those in the pipeline?

@tall_martin

This reminds me of the Club Ride shirt I saw and thought yeah that's nice I'll have that.

It ended up costing north of £150.00 once it had landed...
