Waiting for the DVO solution :) the bolt-on one included in the fork is just too short.

I was going to say the opposite Pete. With less folks on the road, I've been seeing more and more reckless driving (speeding, crossing lanes without signaling, charging orange/red lights). Rumor has it that the RCMP have reduced their staffing in half to allow for sickness...so patrols are potentially down.

I agree that we need to be responsible in the MTB world, and for those riding on the road, I'd be extra vigilant (and visible) because there are some crazies out there.

I like this format of review, short, sweet and clear. "Here is all the stuff I'm trying out at the moment".

I've got a few bars at 755 or so that I could easily part with (31.8 diameter). PM me if interested.

Yeah #4 gets my vote

I've always wondered if you could generate some power from the stationary trainer.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, did you see that!!!"

I completely agree.

Big hole developing at the bottom of the A-frame as of today.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Haven't done it yet, but I appreciate the ideas and tips!!

The A-frame - do you drop it or roll it?

I typically come into it with a decent amount of speed - but I tend to brake and roll it. However, the other day i over-cooked it a bit and pretty well cleared it (landed on the dirt). Which was cool, but caught me offguard.

Has anyone drilled a Norco frame for internal dropper routing? yes, yes, warranty...blah blah.

If you've done it, any recommendations or tips that I should know about?

For context, its a 2018 Norco Fluid 3

Thanks - that's good news. Yeah I was thinking the same thing recently - if parking is such an issue and there are existing public lots that could be used then that seems like an obvious solution. According to google maps it looks like there's also an elementary school in the neighborhood. Could the school's parking lot also be used? Would make sense for bikes but likely too far for bikers.

There are two schools in the neighborhood - Blueridge Elementary is the closest, but unfortunately the parking lot is typically chained-closed. The Park-based parking is probably the best option rather than rely on schools - Blueridge Park or McCartney Park (or Parkgate) all provide decent access to Seymour.

All the signs came down on Friday - Trailforks hasn't been updated.

On the plus side, the city has gotten the message and are now leaving the Blueridge park parking lot open (pretty much at the corner of Berkley and Whitman)...which is a perfect spot to get geared up and you are off the road and away from traffic.

yes, I have - I really liked it. The only reason I'm on a DHF now is that its what came with my bike and still has life left.

I found it rolled better than a MM up front and grips just as well. Now a DHF out back, I tried it for a few rides, but the lack of braking power scared me.

$65 last year for day tickets if I remember correctly.

$80 this year is steep for a partial opening.
