> Is Ollie playing GrabAss?

why do you think I'm smiling?

rat

nice shot, you can feel the focus in the rider's eyes

meh

that's just spooky looking

that looks amazing in the pictures and even more incredible in person.

did the wheel survive?

That's one big-ass stunt.

awesome!

But what will you do now??

I'm about to convert 2 of our bikes from 11spd to 12spd using GX cassettes and XT derailleurs and shifters. The forums on mtbr have tested just about every combination around and it apparently works well.

I would have preferred to stay all Shimano but none of my current hubs have microspline freehubs available and I can get xd drivers.

I picked up all the components last week, between Kinetik Cycles in Port Moody and TBS Bikes, everything was stocked.

I didn't until a few years ago.

I had a conversation with someone who provided counseling to indigenous victims of the residential school system. An hour later I sat there with my jaw hanging open. It's an ugly part of Canadian history that I had no knowledge of.

I have a drastically different outlook now

For freeriding I recommend the 888.

It's really the best choice for drops to tyranny

Bd.de not shipping to NA due to the Rona or other reasons?

yes, that's it. This is the response I got

Dear Dave,
due to corona-related delivery problems of our logistics partner DHL, we have temporarily deactivated Canada as an option. As soon as the shipping is possible again, we will activate the option in our shop again.

Thank you for your understanding!

aside from the howl, is the power still there?

I had a similar problem with xt's, although they were down on power too. I did all the things you did in the original post with no success. I thought I had bled them well, but did it again and I swear I flicked the level a 100 times in all different positions at the end of the bleed and wouldn't you know, a wee little bubble came out and they were all good again.

I ordered from CRC July 17 and received August 11. Like someone else said, I had no expectations of a speedy delivery.

Just to avoid confusion on the day of, I can pre-purchase a lift ticket online? But do I still have to wait in a ticket line to get the pass?

For anyone else wondering. I pre-purchased a lift ticket online. Unfortunately the weather was a bit iffy so I didn't do it until the morning so I still had to wait in the line for the ticket window to get my pass (about 15 minutes). If I would have done it the night before I could have just picked up my pass at the red tent where there was no wait at all, and got into the lift line.

I rode on Thursday, the Fitz chair was down so all traffic was on the Gondola. The first couple of runs there was only about a 15 minute wait, by about 2pm it was around 30 minutes or so. Doing peak to village runs made it not so bad and the nice long runs were good for getting acquainted with the new bike. I got off mid-station and took the Garbo chair up one run, I think I was the only one doing that as I didn't see another person on the garbo chair all day.

I didn't ride Friday (took a bit of a spill and tweaked my ankle/knee at the end of Thursday) but the Fitz was still down and the gondola lines were substantial from what I saw wandering around the village in the afternoon.

Conditions were really, really good though. I don't think I've ever seen such a lack of braking bumps ever.

I picked up a new (to me) dh bike

Return of the Jedi?

I really liked that bike but no.

Pretty similar design though, Commencal Supreme V4

After a few years of not riding WBP, I'm looking forward to getting a day or 2 in next week. I picked up a new (to me) dh bike, we'll see how it goes.

There's this new invention called tubes that saves you having to deal with all this rim tape and sealant bs. I've had good luck with them so far.

keep talkin...
