Thread bump!

Strongly considering a Trials moto  

Who sells and stocks a large selection of Gaerne (first choice) or Sidi boots in the GVRD or S2S region? 

Should I get a pair of Trials boots or are most people just using a SX or Enduro pair?

Most will insist you need the flexibility of a Trials boot to fully achieve your potential both on the bike & walking around in the woods while scoping out your potential line.

Any boot is fine to start.

Fortnine has free shipping & good prices for the boots you want.

that's the reason i don't have kids (also not liking them)

Agreed, I also did my part, no offspring. However, my younger sibling has 3 so totally negates my efforts. 

I think humanity is equivalent to the cockroach now, too worthless to vanish completely even when faced w/an extinction level event.

You don’t need brains or good judgment to be BORN rich.

As I understand it, Netflix wants to move to all their own original programming. When they do that, they will kill themselves, problem over.

I’d rather not have to hear Nickleback on radio airwaves to meet quota.

Nickelback can take a long walk on White Rock's pier. But then Bryan Adams starts & ends with Cuts like a Knife. Oh yeah, screw that Bruce Allen guy too!

Them & the Tragically Hip too. Man, that's bad music.

Canuck radio plays too few bands too often, the only bands I hate more than Nickelback are Mumford & Sons & Kings of Leon. Gm Chrysler, those bands suck!

You want cool & Canadian, check out Bruno Gerussi's Medallion, now that's Canadian!

We're good on music.  It's the TV programs that are hard to take.

See, now that's just wrong.... Littlest Hobo? King of Kensington? A Gift to Last? Not to mention Mr Dressup & The Friendly Giant. We got it going on in Canada!

Chromag Surface Ti.  Bought one in May, never looked back.  If I had to give up by FS bike for the Ti I would.  Frame is a bit pricey, but you get your money's worth for sure.  I went all out on the spec kit as the Ti hardtail is the one thing I have wanted all my life.  I run 27.5 plus tires (2.8) on them with Chromag Magna 40 rims and there is no loss of rotation, and the nice part:  you can soften the tires for the down.  It has a threaded BB which to me is essential since the Ti will be a long term purchase.  Look it up on their website; the pics don't do it justice.

That looks sweet. Chromag doesn't do ISCG mounts on their frames anymore? What's up w'dat?

Well while were on the subject...it would be sweet if mec and other outdoor manufacturers could actually make clothes for normal sized people...we are not all 13 year old anorexic triathletes. I used to buy large or xl gear but cant even bend over in most xl pants nowadays...and no I haven't gotten fat....and 2xl t shirts....wtf.

And do people really make their buying decisions based on the race of the models in the catalogue?

That goes double for footwear. I have had to custom order footwear since the eighties. I was an 11.5 in a Nike bball shoe then. My local stores stocked up to a 10. What bball player over the age of 12 wears a 10? 13 or 14 now. At least I have been able to custom order footwear so far.

I liked the design, too bad they got taken off the market. I always thought that an upright rack with the tire tray in the bottom would be a better design...there has got to be a reason that no one has done it yet though.

Try and find an Arbutus Rack - the original version of the Jacknife. Developed in Victoria too.

Arbutus was simplicity & genius. Swagman took that & made an abortion. HEAVY & hung the bikes sideways instead of forward like Arbutus. It did fold nice but that was it. I bought one for a friend for his birthday. He used it two or three times & sold it, gave me the money lol.

So how much over asking will this gem achieve?
