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

Wow, I'm gona take all the dishes out of the DW and wash them by hand

I been using Squirt for a couple seasons, it seems to work well and be pretty clean, best not toleave it in the shed to freeze over the winter or it will thicken up but if that happens you can just thin it out with some water

back in the mid 80's mtn bikes came with shitty 1.5 tires, I think it was cuz there was less duty on bikes made in Taiwan with narrow tires so when I bought the bike the store swapped them right away and  gave me credit on a better set of tires ... might be a better way to spec a bike

the  Fox  seat post on my 5.5 was creaky from day 1, I tried lube but it still always creaked, the key was to clean off all the lube and use carbon paste

I did my 5.5 Yeti with a roll of 4" 3M from Lordco, used water in the spray bottle with some soap and 25% alcohol, I popped air bubbles with a pin and squeezed out the air. I  wrapped the top of the toptube the bottom of the down tube in the places that are most likely to get hit, wrapping the stays is where some of the curves down under the swingarm don't look great but you don't really look at that. All in all for 22$ it worked pretty good and looks fine, I think a hairdryer or heat gun  might have helped make the more complex curves ...definatly a thumbs up

Back in the day I met a certain local character at a demo so i asked buddy where he was making his bikes and it was Taiwan so why not Canada?

He told me Taiwan is where its at cuz the best welders are there the best factories are there, he can hop on a bike and ride up the street a few KM to find components or tubing factories or anything he needs ... its all right there  

and the beach was at the other end of the street

the guy who told me this^^ was a bike tourer who had done 8000km in AK & northern BC  he was on a bike with a der and his partner was on a Roloff ... said you tell coasting down hills

looks great but I wonder what compromises in chainstay length/placement there would be in the BB area that were eliminated by going with 1x ?  Also someone mentioned drag going down hill, I've been told a Roloff hub will have noticable drag coasting downhill compared to a traditional der setup?

yeah but you did it for money

while buddy did it for love

or maybe you did it for love of money ?

you were threatening to move back out west, should i be wary of running into you, literaly ?

I am just pointing out your game

shall we see who wants to play it ?

Sure. Just as long as you don't bitch out again when I keep winning. Deal?

what has/ is actualy happening is that we get to control you cuz you don't control you

so when/ if you don't play nice you get sent to the corner like a child when we refuse to respond

then the posts go from a near manic troll fest which is not good for NBR to Ok as your name disappears from the page

every so often like right now some body forgets how to treat the troll and we go thru it again

I am just pointing out your game

shall we see who wants to play it  ?

well yes we just agree you won cuz you will spout any bulshit TOO win

and then we don't talk to you which fucks up your game  completely

and make no misteak it is a game

Or you could slow down and not assume everything from me is tinfoil? Is that only card in your deck btw?

There's a reason I treat the things you post with caution. Me being willing to slow down and not assume that most of it is tinfoil ultimately comes down to what you post and how you present it.

ya so any time he posts dumbass shit which should happen any time now

its really easy to shut him down, by not talking to him

it  fucks him up completely

actualy people in BC are pretty aware of garbage, where it comes from/ how to collect it/ where its going  

traveling to Bali was an eye openner cuz people appear to have no clue so they just thro shit every where in Paradise, they will even thro it around their own property so there is garbage literally everywhere, the beaches are mounded with garbage in Indonesia

In Bali visited with the guy who developed eco - bricks Russel Maier (an ex-pat Smithereen artist) they were stuffing garbage into old water bottles and gluing them together with silicone to make furniture/ retaining walls or whatever Russel was talking about building a house from eco bricks, he was raising a lot of awarness about garbage & waste

time line on when the border will be open to fully vaxed travellers

A garbage truck driver (also pretty good horn player) I drink beer with tells me none of that stuff we put in the blue bins is actualy getting  recycled cuz there is no market, So I still do it but I know its not being recycled

we  seen a lot of plastics paddling out on the north coast, most of it with oriental writing but it wasn't near as bad as  the beaches in Bali
