on my second pair of Dakine slayer, they have been redesigned and work even better,

I bought a new bike after 15 yrs i liked the 1X with a chain that never comes off/ steep seat/ slack head angle/ wide bars/ the long WB/ upright position

then i bought a new bike with a steeper seat/ slacker head/ wider bars/ longer WB and a motor  all which I liked

call me trendy but these trends seem to work for me but i supose ymmv in which case you are so lucky,

you don't have to buy new bikes

Ibis  will be going up against the Bullit/ Heckler or the Yeti 160-E, from what I read they have their product more together

IMO some things in the spec are wierd like the larger sizes being 29/29 and the smaller sizes being a mullet, the small can only take  a smaller battery

I will say its bold,  I duno if its the color or the design but the OSO  doesnt really jump out and make me want to hand my visa to shop bro

I like  internaly routed cables but I didnt like having to fack with them,  changing them especialy  the seatriser cable on the SC product sucked big time, I will proably just change the inner cable next year

buying  a new bike will solve everything

I don't look at the bill  any more I just give them the card or even the # over the phone, I was pointing out to some redneck at the local craft brew, compare the best of the best say a Ferrari 360 for several hundred thousand K to a Bullit for 12K and it might make more sense

and BTW, always ride an E-bike in boost mode cuz its more fun

definatley like the 29/ 27.5 mullet over the 29/29 and with a motor I don't worry about rollover or speed,

I like how mullet seems to pivot better on that back wheel and make the handling more snappy

A local guy has a 29/ 26 mullet, something definalty looks wierd !

I got a question on last years Super deluxe select on an SC Bullit, I don't get the airing up of  the rear shock procedure

if I pump it up to the suggested pressure the shock bottoms out and the sag setting would indicate the shock pressure is way too low

so to get the sag setting right I have to jack the shock settings WAY up higher than SC suggests  which doesnt make sense ,  but the sag is right and i don't bottom out

SO do i just go for the correct sag and not worry about how much air I am putting in the shock or WTF  is going on here  ?

I  see people selling old bikes/ old components/ old tires on FB, to me its just old  stuff I thru out years ago and I would rather ride a modern bike so I don't really get the " vintage " thing. I do still have some old bikes for riding to the bar or mtb repurposed for touring cuz I already own it but I sure wouldn't go looking for this stuff

I'm normal weight  ( 24 on the BMI ) but I will still lose weight riding my E-bike, I think its cuz I can ride straight up without stopping, at the top my heart rate is lower in the fat burning zone and its fun

even if you don't fall there are always trees to bounce off, I still got a set of 661 2x4's  for wrist to above elbow protection, the lycra sleeve & straps keep them in place, 661 axo dualies for when my foot gets caught between a rock & a hard place

"The bro brah look of sneakers with minimal socks,"

now days I just give credit to any kid who grew up & was smart enough to finally  do up the laces

Dualing protests in Edmonton

can i get a Freedumb !

according to latest polls the NDP would win so its no where near a slam dunk, the race is Danielle Smith's to lose and she has already shown what an idiot she is

are there enough discriminated against Albertans to vote her in ?

Not up to speed yet but listened to a quick snippet about what the premier of Alberta has been trying to do in the legislature. Isn’t that the kind of thing the convoy folks have been rallying against? The powers to ram new policies through in private away from public scrutiny. Also the ability to ignore whatever federal policy she doesn’t agree with. Feel free to straighten me out. Now back to bleeding my brakes.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/changes-coming-to-alberta-s-proposed-sovereignty-act-after-concerns-over-powers-given-to-cabinet-1.6673623

well they havent even got the bill in place yet and its already "a confusing mess " so they are going to amend it

Trudeau is just watching and waiting,   there is no point in JT getting excited cuz this UCP government may not last very long

the convoy types really had no idea what they were rallying against there were about 5 different factions and they had child like ideas about how the country is run

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/freedom-convoy-protest-2023-1.6671784

Sounds like the federals are gearing up for the freedumb convoy 2.0 and won't get caught with their pants down this time ?

Convoy 1.0 did work once but the burning question might be are things unfree enough for it to work again

are people still stupid enough to get all whipped up into a frenzy and drive across a very big country ?

when I was in spain the police had a attitude that said don't fuck with those guys but oddly enough the police in Portugal right next door were very chill

I see a lot of absolute fucking garbage on FB marjket place, stuff I couldn't be bothered to thro out which is why its still in the shed all of it labeled as " vintage "

My mom and borther are the exact same way. my mom never gave a rats ass about politics and now its the same story as above. I really dont get it. I saw this thing where a baby was having a heart operation or something and the parents canceled it cause of the possibility of donor blood having come from a vaccinated person.

this one

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/30/new-zealand-parents-refuse-use-of-vaccinated-blood-in-life-saving-surgery-on-baby

fucking morons.

How fucked do you have to be to risk your baby's life over a vaccine?  Don't they wonder how so many of us have received several boosters and manage to survive?

I'm pretty sure there is a party of religious fanatics maybe the JW's who don't allow blood transfusions

It's typical in Canada for a gov't to get voted out after a few election cycles and the liberals have been in power since 2015. So it's not out of the question that the CPC gets into power in one or two elections, but I don't see it happening due to the whacko vote.

exactly ^^ thats what used to happen with regularity with the progressive conservatives but the cons we now have are  too far into whacko land

well PP defintley has been courting the Whacko's and it does make for good press

so while they do exist in the 905/ quebec how many average voters are Whacko's and are there enough to elect PP ?

the conservatives  problem is that almost 20years later  the con party party is full of them and  they don't think they are Whackos

Exactly ^^ didnt buddy buy a Shwarma with bitcoin and suggest it will replace the dollar ?

and he is running a party of whacko nutjobs

these are not your father's progressive conservatives

that party dissappeared in 2003,
