I don't think I can ride my mountain bike without the bar end/bulls to change the grip and especially when standing up or going up hill. Circulation in my hand and toes has started to suck in the last few years (welcome to geezerhood). The other thing to consider is your shoulder and upper body...
The old floor pump I have can do both Presta and Schrader valves with the same head. It has been good for topping up the M/C and car tires too. The one on the bike has a hose with the different ends to fit the two valves. I use Presta as that’s how the bike came but I do like them. I don’t run...
I never heard of that type of valve. Had to look it up. Very interesting.
Here’s the link I found.

Out of the can unfortunately is not as good as from the local tap. Even a mediocre tap beer tastes better (to me) than any canned beer. I never liked dark beer/ale either, but some of the local ones on tap around here have been great. Locally there is Market Brewing Co. News
Always changing it...
I got back into cycling about 10 years ago, the Cdn Tire 24 speed sitting in the garage didn't last long and couldn't change/fix the bottom bracket. I didn't want to go the expensive new bike route(which compared to now would have been a bargain) and bought a used mountain bike off Kijiji It...
What is on Pete’s site might not be all the inventory he has access to. I called him a few years ago and he found what I was looking for. I think if you call or email him they may have what you are looking for or at least tell you if there is a problem.
I haven't balanced them in sometime. I've had great luck with the iridium plugs with this bike so far. This is the first time I see the white residue though. I've not added any Seafoam for sometime, and understand that leaves a whiteish film. I will run this set for a couple of tanks and then...
Changed out the spark plugs. I think these were in for 30k miles. Took it for a test run and it feels like a new bike. More response and power. Wasn’t expecting that. It had backfired a couple of time after hard downshifts, not enough to squeal the tires. Had the plugs on hand and decided to...

This used to be Bak’s market. Back in the day they had the best soft serve ice cream at the back of the parking lot in an old booth or trailer. Sad when they closed. It them became the Guild of Automotive Restorers before this latest reincarnation.
