as much as i love my Rev grips (race) the Diety supercrush gives a surprisingly similar feel with a fraction of the cost and complexity. but the difference for those who ride more frequently, higher speeds in a park setting might still be great.

yeah they've changed the elastomer system since Andrew purchased these, the new rings are much better. Andrew, you should reach out to Alba distributing to get a new set for an amendment to this article if possible.

i ain't bovered.

i wear gloves to address this issue.

maybe you have knees made of iron mate, many of us don't. you may have overall capabilities and time available to you as well to do rides of that distance and duration. maybe you have a normal body mass or are built like a bike journalist. many of us don't.

are you Canadian Mark? if so you're doing it wrong. there can be no other supportable reason for anyone's perception when it comes to race or gender other than personal moral failure and culpability of the perceived perpetrators. you need to start watching more of the CBC mate.

ok i'll bite. what have been some of cycling's best efforts to exclude you?

hey, take off eh.

Tim, i like that you're still rocking the old Shimano shoes (early AM5?) in every article! those were a tough, fairly stiff and well made shoe, if quite heavy. i sold mine well before wearing them out, which is hard to do. everyone had those shoes for a while eh.

these pants, which i'd never heard of look really good, the fit looks bang on. some of these cycling rain pants are too snug looking, especially through the lower leg. my Agent's are skin tight in the calves which isn't super comfortable (they are great pants though, but i'm so long in the legs).  the pockets, cut, all the details look dialed on these. except for that durability issues....

i don't live or ride routinely on the Shore but it seems to me that there would be little difference, only a preference for feel. originally 29ers were called old man bikes because of their added stability. as an old man and also very tall man, i dig that. my last small wheeled bike was the original Tranny Patrol and it was a killer bike and so fun. it was and still would be great on the Shore.  as always i think it depends on what feel you prefer yourself. and maybe height.  original Patrol's would be downright cheap used and set up well, they are such great bikes, among many other awesome 650b bikes.

i have little interest in the stuff beyond the occasional toke with friends and that's increasingly rare. i didn't go into one of the new stores until a few months ago. i was super impressed when i did. the store was beautiful and incredibly well thought out. downright artful. the people working there were not headshop stoners but educated weed experts. very cool.

they asked me all kinds of questions i wouldn't have imagined being asked and there was more selection of products than i could believe. the dosing is all quantified and i've learned a great deal about what i like, and how much i need for the experience i want.

i tried a drink and it was great. i've since gone back and tried gummies and now drops which are by far the most cost effective and minimally packaged. i never would have predicted but i really like the stores i've been into, the people who work there are so thoughtful and educated, the products are reasonably priced and effective and i feel confident in what i'm buying. no black market, no criminal activity involved.

my experiences have turned me from an indifferent sceptic to one who thinks it's the ideal solution for the distribution of weed products for those who want them. i see lots of different folks in these stores and lots of seniors and i think it's great for them. sunny ways, sunny days....

And ya long over due move. As much as I loved living in Fraser Valley. The costs and constant growth drained us.

interesting observation. i was reading some economic study that said people in rapidly developing economies are less happy than people in stable economies. even if the rapid development brings affluence.  it seems that people didn't evolve with rapid swirling change around them; life was slower. most people prefer this.

like bowhunting bears?

Sounds like quit a stable, how do keep up with all that rubber?

no doubt!  just mounted a WTB Verdict high grip tough with a Tannus tubeless and i can't wait to ride, but feel like i should maybe be thinking about an ark instead.

the lads better collect themselves and come out with the effort of their lives or this game is a goner.

are tazers no longer used? i thought that would be a great solution to so many of these encounters. they seem to shoot way more than taze.

I see 32%.

More than 1/2 of all people aged 25 - 64, from the same source as yours. That info was listed well before the graph you chose, which only looked at Aboriginal people and not the whole population.  It was also mentioned in the same article that Canada leads the OECD in the proportion of college and uni graduates.

So what. Not every degree requires literary/philosophical knowledge.

They don’t, but many programs include intro philosophy courses and they are a popular elective. So with half the population having post secondary it’s a pretty good chance that a fair bit more than 10% of the population know who Camus and Sartre are, as well as some of the other heavyweights. 

As an aside, IMO philosophy should be taught in high school.

agreed. along with basic economics and personal finance.

Don't forget to service the damper side every few lower service intervals. You paid a lot of $$ for a fancy damper so it might as well be working reasonably well.

do you DIY the damper? i thought that was strictly a pro service center job. i've sent mine (shocks) to Fluid Function in the past, but never had the fork damper serviced. 200 hour interval on the Rockshox service manual page.

there's no end to the scumbaggery
