Anyone with 500,000 followers on twatter these days is actually followed by 10 rabid diabetic pensioners and 499,990 Russian bots.

I only know what a toucan sounds like as I try to find them on holidays. Like a bird but if it was a 40 a day smoker.

Done. Bought a new Trek Roscoe 7 on sale. Will keep it stock until I know if anything needs to be changed.

The Leafs will perennially never win anything. That’s my only thought.

I’ve been playing with a Garmin Varia radar rear light thing as they were on sale a few weeks ago. It’s awesome. Warns you when there’s a car(s) behind you and then tells you how fast they are approaching and when they are clear.

I read somewhere that bobsledding is what summer sprinters sometimes get into to while away the season change. Makes more sense in that regard for a Jamaican bobsleigh team as the nation has a history in sprinting!

It looks like all the bikes I’m looking at are 2023 stock right now. I’m going to see if dealer 1 will work to beat dealer 2’s similarly specced bike. Or maybe a discounted fork/brake upgrade/free tubeless conversion or something.

Do the dealers of the big brands (Trek/Giant) actually haggle? Tried a Giant Fathom 2 today and it was nice but I’m now reading complaints about the in house fork.

Bikes are really thin on the ground it seems for particular sizes. Decathlon online availability is one model, looks reasonable with name brand components called an xc100 at about $1k https://www.decathlon.ca/en/p/8616937/29-hardtail-mt-bike-shimano-xc-100 A Giant Fathom 2 Fathom 29 2 (2022)...

Devil’s advocate (but it’s a different situation here in Kingston). We rent our tank from the City utilities co. We had a leak in the tank that my wife noticed at about 9pm one night. Called the emergency number and a plumber came round within an hour. Diagnosed the issue, said the tank was...

Look what I found.... Sent from my SM-S918W using Tapatalk

Hmmm. Bike was mint but the saddle height on the dropper post was already adjusted to the lowest point and I could just get on the saddle. Once on it was comfy and standing on the pedals and dropping the post the saddle was out the way. Only issue is that I’d like some adjustability in the...

Speed climbing is cool. Should be called Olympic catburgling though. Dr Evil signing up all the winners to boost paintings from the Louvre.

Ok, going to take a look tomorrow. If it doesn’t fit that’s an easy pass anyway.

I’ve only just started looking. I’ll pass on this if it’s not the best deal or if I can do better. Guy says he’s used it 3 times since new and it looks it by the pics.

Seems smaller frames are nimble, larger more stable. I like stable, if it’s comfy. No idea if that’s a decent bike. Seems to be quite a discount from new though.

Trek Roscoe 7 for $800? That a good deal? Size L..might be too big for me. I’m 5 10, 32” inseam.

Hardtail or full suspension for a slightly lardy rider on an occasional weekend mountain bike ride on trails that won’t give a 50+ year old a stroke? Not buying new, this would be used. Don’t want to spend a fortune so under 1k.
