    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Had a mountain bike lesson. Well worth it. Managed to do an elevated skinny with turns in for the first time ever. Did it on the third try after try two gave me lovely pedal scars down the back of my legs after I came off midway. Tried to do the pump track and learned that white man got no...

    Canada Post - Huge losses

    If I can't see a bill I don’t have to pay it right? That's a rule no?

    I get that. The handlebar I swapped in also has these https://redshiftsports.com/products/cruise-control-drop-bar-grips I also have the tape that they sell which is super padded and the top shelf handlebar. https://redshiftsports.com/products/top-shelf-handlebar-system Ridiculous prices now...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Epic 2h manly fight with a tire/rim last night to set it up as tubeless. Remounted the tire twice to sort out some leaks, paid attention to tire direction the first time, second time I was ****** off so didn't. 50:50 chance of it being on wrong and yes, of course it is. Just like inserting a...

    Soccer/football thread 2022

    That would be a travesty. Leoni looked solid and mature for his age. Chiesa brings so much energy to the team and it's infectious so even just for morale he's worth bringing on plus the guy has skills so it’s win win. Both the goals for Liverpool looked easy against a team that was causing...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Oh I'd rather hypothetically keep it (as I would have got another type) but it was a bit of a downer trying to make it accurate. To be fair, it wasn’t designed as a marksman rifle.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I get that. But there's another side. Hypothetically one of the firearms on that list is a bit of a dog when it comes to accuracy so I wouldn't have used it much and probably, if I owned it, would maybe have sold it anyway. I'm more into accurate firearms these days.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Hypothetically if I actually had any firearms on that list I'd make more than my investments.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    That's the one. More detailed than before. $240 for a 40mm grenade launcher seems a bit low. I'll keep the 15 I have at that price.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    These seemed to be market value. Our range sent the list out so I'm guessing it's recent.

    Buyback amounts are out. I saw a list earlier but can't find it now.

    Chiesa is on fire. Leoni looks solid. Frimpong is a bit sloppy, Ngumoa is trying to get into top gear but seems a bit nervous still. Not an inspiring first half from Liverpool but there's some good signs.

    The "Official" Watch Thread and all Things Horological

    My wife isn’t a watch person. I bought her a Fitbit and she hasn’t taken it off. Measures her steps and sleep every day. Got her some funky coloured straps for it too and she's happy.

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Swapped a drop handlebar on a gravel bike for one with a 50mm rise and a wider grip today fully expecting to also swap out the cables for brakes and gears but my initial fit says the existing cables seem fine. They don't bind when I turn the bars side to side. I've not taped anything up yet as...

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    Another decent afternoon at the mountain bike trail centre. Even with the e-bike taking some of the effort out I'm achy as ****. The only issue is that it's been so dry that grip is an issue it's really dusty and the brakes are a bit tough to modulate, leading to some interesting puckering...

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    I may switch one range membership for a membership of a more local clay sports club. My semi auto Beretta is a compromise for this but will work. What is a budget price decent clay specific gun though? Is there a good used model that would work well if I can get my hands on one? Not looking...

    This is supposedly the stuff the Canadian Forces use. I get mine done with Corrosion Free at a mechanic near us (not Can Tire).

    Anyone here a cyclist?

    It may be a set up prank but I don't see anything wrong with having your own property “malfunction” in a public place if the only expectation is that the owner is the only one that may suffer.

    Phew. Not sure what the commentator team were watching as they kept on about how close things were. I was watching a game where it was Liverpool's to lose. So many good chances from fabulous balls. Many by Salah. A huge deflection on a volley for Athletico's last goal that was called “an...
