CP is somewhat unique in that technology has made its self-sustainability impossible in today's economy. It also happens in the private sector as in Block Buster Video. Every mall had a Singer Sewing Centre before it became cheaper to buy a piece of clothing than make it. I'm a Luddite at heart...

RIP

A friend is dyslexic and occasionally gets screwed by similar tactics.

All I know is that my sticky tape temporary repairs stopped the leak. I've tried sticky tape repairs on air lines and they don't work well.

Princess Auto had a bike repair stand on sale dropped from $69.99 to $49.99 so I bought one. I took it home and tried it but took it back. It was a get what you paid for deal. Clamping was weak and major components plastic. It was a good idea done poorly.

The problem is that stupid people will elect stupid judges. As George Carlin said "You think about how dumb the average person is and then realize half of them are dumber than that"

The problem is that Chow is the mayor of Downtown Toronto and doesn't care about the suburbs. The suburbs had better representation in the past but amalgamation screwed that. And who cut back the number of city Counsellers?

A few years back I smelled gas outside the house and called Enbridge responded quickly and found the original steel pipe had corroded just above grade. He fixed it by wrapping some tape around it and said a crew would come in a few weeks to replace the line. It was more like a few months. NG is...

It's always a pain to mount different wheels, the reason I have about six of the things in spite of me disliking the concept.

I have used water in a CTC undercoating spray gun at 90 PSI and if works, sort of.

According to the guy trying to sell me one, the boosters can't be used without a battery. However he said there was a trick to fool the unit into thinking there was a battery. The month dead battery would be like boosting a brick.

I've never looked at derailleurs closely but today, noticed a cam on the sides of the cassette gears that must push the chain up onto the desired sprocket. It's only logical that if the cams wear, they don't shift the chain. My next project is a repair / cleaning station for the bike.

Nailed it. The barrel adjuster on mine is at the derailleur and a turn out solved 95% of the problem. With that encouragement I went for a really enjoyable ride. Thank you and the others for their suggestions.

I'm just starting to explore the area. My starter loop covers Bloordale Park to Centennial and across into Mississauga. Very little road, mostly bikers, hikers and dog walkers. And for a treat today, a parrot walker. After years of neglect, I'm trying to get my "C" legs back so interested.

1000 divided by 14 =71 Square feet per person, six feet by 12 feet not allowing for hallways, closets, kitchen counters, bathroom. I assume half will be in the basement. Have they checked for radon?

The whole mess distracts from the pathetic standards of driver training and testing, a provincial mandate.

Take a look at the gears if possible. Cheap nylon castings can shrink and pull themselves apart over the years. Even some plastics need annealing. This crack kept the little gear from turning the big one

The 2000 PSI is at the nozzle. Ten feet away it's rain and twenty just drizzle. For giggles I've cut meat at an inch. The Costco one is a niche market and I came to the conclusion that if it was powerful enough to blast grime out of tight corners it was powerful enough to blast grime into a...

Around here a lot of contractors won't look at a job for under $10K. They consider it a service call. You get a broad estimate over the phone and if you want, a crew shows up to do the job T&M

There are a few around at $200+ which automatically negates the deal for me. The Costco one was ~$60 and could be a possibility for someone who plays in the mud occasionally, clean the windscreen, license plate and knock off some of the mud. Just carry a jug of water. To get one just for the...
