dunno, but could it void the warranty if you got the wrong dimension?

US bike? It's almost exactly 2 foot and I take all imperial measurements as vague suggestions, so anything up to 4 foot should be fine 😉

TBH I'm surprised CEN didn't result in similar stickers, it did for boats, mine is apparently good for 2m wave heights and 27knts.

I wouldn't measure it in Poles, they're inconsistent in their height.

Perchy a disto is great for measuring distance but i think it might struggle with measuring gnar.

Is 61cm=1gnar?

Don't know about jumps, but drops must be measured in Pinkbike Feet
