I think there’s a bit of “lost in translation here”. It should read something like “at checkout you pay the net price to canyon, but will be informed *later* about the estimated import duty.”
I...
My last canyon order (May/22) there was no line item for duty at checkout - just checked my invoices. Order was for $7228.85 and was hit with duty of $1332.06 CAD (~18% = GST, plus duty??). At...
Good insight - I do see the value there. Coming from the roadie world didn't have that appreciation for how e-mtbs fit in other than the lazy/old/broken angle. ha.
I subscribe to the train heavy...
Diverge is a great bike - congrats. One of the more versatile gravel bikes, great for road and trails. I wouldn't hesitate to take it on a road group ride, or a long gravel loop.
As for the...
I have done international moves with my family several times (3?), and each time we've taken a vehicle in a 53 foot container along with other possessions.
I can't remember the overall cost as they...
I get it. Sad -- also managed to see them play in Texas 10ish yrs ago. Was a good time, and a also a bucket list checkmark.
I change to my KO2s fairly late into winter, and early in the spring. I like them for heavy wet snow, which we generally only get in the shoulder seasons. Rest of the winter the studded nokians are...
I run studded Nokian's in the winter and KO2s in the summer on my F150.
Nokians are far superior in the winter for most conditions (stopping, ice, etc), but I hate the Nokians in really deep...
soda actually.
Lifeguard is a great summer job, with decent pay (~$20-25/hr) for a teen if they have (or can get) the certifications. Can be a slide attendant at 15, lifeguard at 16.
Myself -- I worked in a...
Check power in motion in Eau Claire also. I bought a fat bike there once, and they are big into e-bikes and retrofits. I enjoy my fat bike for mindless winter commuting. Yes, not as efficient, but...
Was worried about the wind noise....nightmares from owning a Jeep. I have an Outer Banks / 2.7 / Hardtop / Sasquatch on order for my wife - will still be a while. :banghead:
Perfect. Glad it worked out.
I have both - if you're commuting on mostly cleared pathways the gravel w/studs will almost always win. If there is fresh snowfall, severe ice, or unplowed trails; fat bike all the way.
For...
They were not on the highest time, but still got hot at one of the connection points. I think my coldest ride was -28C, run -34C.
Fat bike feels a lot more secure for sure, but definitely slower....
Heated gloves are great - but have had some burns from mine before, but had them on for ~2.5 hrs.
Run day for me. Prefer to run vs bike when it is this cold; less wind chill.
Like I said - did it once, never again. Bought every studded set since. haha
Yes - Self-studded a set of fat bike tires before
Do the tires have pre-drilled pockets for studs? Otherwise you'll need to drill a pocket into the knob.
They did seem to stick out further than...
I’ve had one race bike frame cracked coming back from Hawaii. Was about an $8k bike. Open the bag and inspect the bike BEFORE you leave the airport. Even then - good luck getting much compensation...
Most airlines these days - westjet will only charge you $50 now. Not like a few years ago where they charged up to $250 for a bike.
Go to a bike shop - ask for it to be packed up. Most will charge...
....I've seen it happen at many races, this is why I never rely on on-course nutrition anymore.
Should...yes, but I've had no luck in the past. Once had a shop install a battery backwards (neg to positive) - (in a lazy moment figured I would let them install as no one could screw that up). They...
Kloubek - Way back in the day when I owned a LR the go-to was Rover Park boys (closed in 2013) out of Edmonton (I think?) for parts. I believe their inventory of parts/vehicles was acquired by TRS...
I end up throwing out so many water bottles in races, long rides, etc. that I now just buy the dollar store ones by the dozen. :rofl: Cheaper than a bottle of gatorade even.
This - move it to a LIRA with your financial institution, where you can control it with your other investments. Have them cover the transfer fee. You can't transfer out of a LIRA the same way as an...
Take care buddy, and heal up quick. Take some time off the bike, and you'll come back stronger.
Suggest trying liquid only fueling strategy with a combination of maltodextrin and electrolytes. 3 scoops malto powder per bottle provides me with ~300 calories. I take 1 bottle per hour with an...
flipstah If it’s for a commuter - check out DZR shoes.
What’s a used pair of 540s worth? Maybe $40 - so beyond price $20. Lol.
Not in need of any more saddles. Have WAY too many.
Forgot I ebayed the Looks I had....but still have the following spares:
Shimano PDM-780, Shimano PDM-540, Shimano PDR-540 x 3 sets
Small should be fine. With the sloping top tube on something like the Aspect 760 there will always be a lot of seatpost exposed. Small will give her better stand-over height, and probably a shorter...
Your money – but commuting kills bikes. I would keep the JTS as a commuter maybe a small refresh on the components but ride the hell out of it. Personally my formula for a commuter is Aluminum gravel...
Post it up once you complete the build. Should be a good commuter. :thumbsup:
Going thru bikes / parts and have a bunch to list.
If I'm way off base on $$ - call me out. More details on anything fire me a PM and can take pictures of the parts/bikes
Bianchi SuperPista...
Believe I have a set of Tektro MD-C550, and maybe a set of Avid BB7s hanging around. Both Mech
I have a Nordic Track Commercial C1750 - Direct from Nordic Track. My third treadmill after a LifeFitness, and a Livestrong something from Canadian Tire.
It has been quite durable, gets about...
IMO. I would go with the 49". I used to run 3 24" monitors for trading, went to one large screen. It is quite easy to snap an application into a 1/4 of the screen and therefore the large screen acts...
A better option can be a 'living inheritance' - gift it away early to kids, and reduce probate taxes and fees on the estate.
Having gone through a 6 year battle and thousands in legal fees after a self-made will was contested. I would only use a lawyer based on my personal experience. :banghead:
