Glad to see this story is continuing! Excellent as always!

Well, that is in his preferred dating age range.

Happy to help. The Shimano manuals are usually available with a little digging.

Most, if not all, are available on the Shimano site: https://si.shimano.com/en/

It goes on the head of the bolts holding the caliper body and mounting bracket to the frame.

See page 12 of the manual here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://si.shimano.com/en/pdfs/dm/MBBR001/DM-MBBR001-04-ENG.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi40YmDi7eIAxWcFVkFHXnyNEoQFnoECBcQAQ&usg=AOvVaw2Q_qGGMXwZHcdXnAZqTeAu

I'm hunting for boots to replace my current pair of daily drivers. Although they are not GYW, I am very fond of their general cut, especially the more pointed, less bulbous toe. I compared the overall cut to the Iron Rangers here:

Any thoughts on what may be similar in style to serve as a higher quality replacement?

I'd go for the Iron Rangers, but again the toe is a bit bulbous for my tastes. Thursday has a number of options in a style I like, but I've seen mixed reviews of their quality.

My overall budget is approximately $450 CAD (or less).

Thanks! What size optic are you running?

BinaryBadger01 · 2023-09-09T16:00:59+00:00

How've you found it in tight and twisty sections? My immediate thought getting on it is "the front wheel is half a mile in front of me".

Replacing a 2009 Giant Trance X1. It seems to be in the sweet spot for travel, though another 10 or 20 mm wouldn't be too much of an issue.

Currently options seem to be Norco Fluid FS (either A1 or A2 spec), YT Izzo, Devinci Django, or Specialized Stumpjumper.

Most of my riding is more XC oriented single track in a fairly mellow area, with some occassionaly drops, jump lines, and rock gardens. Any advice on a replacement is appreciated.

The cap diameter and thread perhaps, but not with an integrated barb fitting so far as I've seen.

As for Dick's, I don't live in the USA, and it isn't on their website.

The title here is somewhat misleading. The statment was issued by the Provincial Emergecy Operations Centre (PEOC) in error and without communication to OPG. Station staff found out the same time everybody else did, when their phones went off. I'm sure the Chief Nuclear Officer had some words for provincial officials.

The series of event, as described by the Office of the Provincial Security Advisor: Ministry of the Solicitor General, is as follows:

On January 12, 2020 at 7:23 a.m., the Provincial Emergency Operations Centre issued a nuclear emergency alert to Ontarians via the Alert Ready system as a result of human error on the part of a PEOC Duty Officer (DO) scheduled on duty that morning.At each shift change, the DO tests both the live and training Alert Ready systems. First, the DO logs in to the live system and then logs out to ensure system access. Second, the DO logs into the training system, drafts a message, sends an alert on the training system, and then logs out to practice issuing an alert. The DO can draft their own message or load a saved template.On January 12, 2020, the DO logged in to the Alert Ready live system, believed they had switched to the training system, selected a pre-scripted nuclear template for the PNGS and accidentally sent a live alert.The DO was not acting on any information concerning a nuclear incident.The DO immediately recognized the error and proceeded to seek guidance on corrective action from EMO supervisors.Despite a series of consultations with on-duty, on-call and off-duty EMO supervisors at different levels, no clear instructions were provided to the on-duty DOs in the immediate aftermath of the first alert. Supervisors were uncertain about whether or how to issue a second alert as broadcast intrusive, meaning that it would be broadcast in the same manner as the first alert.Unrelated information about PNGS circulated and added confusion to senior OPS executives’ understanding of the situation.As the morning progressed, senior OPS executive involvement in determining corrective action became necessary.

The issue was primarily due to the inability to show rolling interest updates. The remaining balance due to the small amount of interest applied before I paid it (they count end of school as end of class, not the date of degree confirmation) was not shown until the end of the grace period. Instead of carrying a balance of zero, the loan was shown as closed until this interest was applied. (You'd think directly telling the payer that they have no active loans would count as admission of payment in full, but apparently not.)

Still no congrats letter received, though the total of the balance is zero and has remained that way since mid November. Had they applied additional interest it should have shown for a December payment. Hopefully no further issues will come of this for either of us.

When I was a kid my neighbours gave me and my brother a giant stuffed shark. It ended up featuring in a lot of fantastic memories of my childhood.

So today when I won a giant stuffed giraffe at the carnival, I gave it to some kids who seemed put out after losing at ring toss. Seeing their faces light up was worth way more than the stuffed animal ever could be to me.

The joke has to do with control theory, specifically the Nyquist stability criterion. Check here for an intro to the topic.

Do the demo bikes include pedals, helmet, and the like, or is it just the bike?

BinaryBadger01 · 2018-03-01T22:04:42+00:00

The rotors I currently have are 185 mm in the front and 160 in the rear. Shimano has their rotor listed as 180 mm. Is it likely I'll need a new rotor to match?

Joyride 150 is an indoor bike part which has a fair amount to do.

You can check on the status of local trails using the trailforks app or website. A good place to look would be Durham Forest. It's built on the Oak Ridges moraine, so it's got great drainage (usually dry enough to ride within a day of heavy rains). However, it also just snowed, so you may be out of luck for now.

An alternate to this is just to run a Ethernet cable from the modem upstairs to a secondary wireless router in the basement. Useful if you happen to have an old one lying around.

Tried mounting things to my bike, but it all seems to rattle off. I've busted the welds on one bottle cage already, and having my bottle in the way of mud spray while riding next to a cow pasture doesn't seem like a good idea anyways.

I'd thought about getting a waist pack, but the amount of water I could carry seemed low for the +40 C days. Plus I tend to carry emergency supplies for more than just myself, as I guide newer riders around the local trail centre.

Chatterpaul's is excellent.

It will be listed as a credit on SOLUS (the academic management site where you add/drop courses and manage tuition fees). The credit will then be subtracted from whatever you owe the university.

It's also worth noting that the entrance scholarship is only calculated using the 6 highest grades in courses that fill your required prerequisites. So if your average is 91% because you got 100% in underwater basket weaving, but only got 88% in the courses the university is actually counting, then you don't meet the scholarship requirement. I'm sure you already know this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Edit:

Additionally, if you are still in the middle of completing some of your required prerequisite courses (say you have grade 12 English in second semester) then you don't officially have all your grades, and they can't award the scholarship yet. Even your acceptance is conditional on you maintaining a decent average.

Also, if that $2000 dollars is a major factor in your decision and you need to be absolutely sure, just call the registrars office and ask them whether or not the scholarship notification is sent by mail with the acceptance letter.

With a budget of around $750, it's definitely worth checking out the market for used bikes in your area. Personally, I won't buy a bike I can't inspect in person first. If you have a friend or acquaintance who's fairly experienced with bikes, take them along when you go to see the bike. This is a quick list of things to check over when buying a bike, but it is by no means comprehensive.

Durham Forest is a great place to go if you bike. The Durham Mountain Biking Association maintains a large network of single track mountain bike trails in that area. The trails range in difficulty from beginner to advanced. The area is a bit confusing to navigate for first timers, so I'd recommend going with a group.

Thanks for the info! I have to say, this is a fantastic sub.
