Zee Germans for any tools you can buy that you can use.  Park Tools for truing stands and weird bike tools no one else makes.

The Wera hex set is a billion times better than any of the crap I've used to date.

Congrats Tim!  Way to persevere.  That was a great read...

I have no opinion on the topic at hand, but when I end up at the Whistler clinic and Clark walks in the room I feel a lot better.

Here's to hoping all of you who end up there see Clark as well.

Thank you, this might save me a lot of $$$ on those titanium wonders.

The question I'm left wondering, is the spindle on the crank 29.99mm?

Won't anyone think of the stiffness.

I look forward to reading these. 

As one of WBP's statistics I kept flaunting Darwin with my progression vs. (in)ability, (all while looking like a storm trooper with neck protection).  Reversion to the mean occurred and I was repeating my life story every 30 minutes to some poor paramedic in the ambulance on the drive to Lion's Gate hospital to fix a lot of things.

Healed up, went back and only rode trails I was comfortable with.  For about two years.  Eventually the skills came and the boredom crept in and progression occurred at a proper pace I'd say.  So much so that I now love Crabapple Hits and can't wait for the snow to melt.  There is a safe way to play this game, it just comes down to suppressing that feral need to ride as well as the pros we so commonly see here.

As a side note, I am very vocal with all my roadie friends that they are fucking nuts to be strapping 10-20 pounds on their crotch and going to war with inattentive drivers.  I'll take WBP over that risk any day.

That was a good read..

LOL skootch leg.

SO much gold here!

This is great!

No more legal immunity Trump is so much better than President Trump.  Just having him off Twitter for the last little while has felt like when you are working near a generator and somebody finally turns it off.

Glad I never bothered with Twitter.

You and me both.  It seems to be the worst of all worlds.

The disillusioned part of me is thinking more, "lots of bombs still, but there's a BLM and Pride sticker on the tail wing."

The hopeful part of me is thinking, "One of the two parties incited enough violence that a representative sampling of 50% of their voters broke into their workplace to kill them, maybe now they'll think about socialized health care."

I'm going to bet on the former.

Navalny, the Juan Guaidó of Russia.

Maduro, the Putin of Venezuela.

* arrested and properly killed.

Imagine a nation state trying to kill you a few times because you're trying to make a country better.

And having the temerity to go back knowing you'd get arrested right away.  Top comment calls it... "I hope he knows what he's doing", because I sure fucking don't.

tungsten and FO, this is where we diverge.

Illegal drugs makes for the worst governance.  If fiscal conservatism is your goal, all drugs should be legal.

So you agree with van city council essentially legalizing possession of all drugs?

Guess theres not many crack or meth heads up the whistler way though. Good reason to keep the failed insite around though.

Van city council agrees with me.

The war on some drugs failed decades ago.

The policies of every president since Reagan made trump possible. If Biden simply returns to "normal", the festering continues.

Reagan did say when fascism comes to America it'll be under the guise of liberalism.

LOL, always projecting and never getting anything right.

The GOP would end the United States in decades.  The DNC will as well, but it'd take at least double that.

Remember, Bernie, AOC and their kind are dangerous and will do nothing for the donor class that makes those two parties so profitable.
