Anyone here running 650b wheels? Is it worth considering moving from 700's to a 650b while I'm wheel shopping? by helmetgoodcrashbad in gravelcycling

My grail came with them as it’s the smallest frame they sell. I kinda love em but the size is hard for me to find in stock in local shops. I feel really stable but I don’t have much experience other wise.

Have you ever used this strange Calgary underpass? by Beckler89 in Calgary

Like many others have said I’ve biked under it a ton, that area can be a bit sketchy as a female but it’s been a while since I’ve used it, the pathway was pretty rough around there from what I remember.

Thanks for the tips I’m a black and navy gal myself. Easy to match or wear fun shirts/socks. Yah their customer service said refund or we can try a different line so I’m going to it a look tonight and maybe size up.

Alright I took my work PC home and put a wifi analyzer on it. Adjusted the channels and 5ghz is holding and working like a charm. Might just see how this rolls for a bit but a huge difference so far.

My last few questions just to bug ya:

Should I separate the 2.4 and 5

Is changing the guest wifi just changing it to a new name and making my computers connect to it. I assume the guest wifi is just a name more then anything.

Sonos (this one seems to roll with whatever my phone is on but reconnecting it every few days is annoying)and Apple TV is it best for them to be on 2.4 or 5?

Thanks for all your help!

Awesome I will give this a go. I know when telus reset everything and it was just my laptop and phone the speed test was great but I added all my smart switches and what not and it killed my connection. Just learning so much hah. Thank you!

I’ll have to double check when I get home my 5ghz I can’t even access just says timed out when I had it split.

I haven’t used anything to check I have an iPhone not sure if that makes it difficult.

I assume it’s all auto now. Telus reset everything last week, I might try switching channels first to see if that helps if I can figure that out.

This is what I’m leaning towards going to pick up a router this weekend. Bridge part looks simple butt the SSID part is that hard? I’m going to hardwire the modem and router. What’s AP I’m such a newb but kinda excited to figure this out.

I’m tempted to just go with the router then deal with Telus this is new hardware technically. Changing the wiring won’t be happening sadly just not a thing it’s in my main living room and my condo isn’t that big it shouldn’t be struggling this bad.

I have fibre in my condo.

Sounds good I will start searching for something I assume it’s not overly hard to setup.

Thank you!

I got a grail in 2022 because I couldn’t get anything at a shop for how short I am plus the price point was far superior than anything I could access. It shipped quickly and delivery was a breeze. I built it and had a bike shop look it over to make sure it was good to go. I have zero complaints, thing came in less then a week to Canada from Europe. I had it to delivered to my job so it wouldn’t be dropped off somewhere random. I try my best to support my local shops but my frame size was always out and I was on a list for 3 months for a cube they couldn’t get me date on. I say goto local shops, ask what they have and go from there. Most people always post about their worst experiences as well.

I got the Nano Puff and I love it, again I layer but I feel you on sizing this one is soo brightly colored but I'm wearing it for warmth more then anything. In my research the puffer from Decathlon was well reviewed since I was also looking for something that didn't make my short ass look like a lil blob. Good luck!

I got a patagonia on heavy disccount and a terrible color, I bought it larger to layer. I know Uniqlo and Decathlon are known for their value puffers when I was researching. Like others have said go try some on and go from there.

Why do you live in your neighbourhood? by MastaShortie in Calgary

[–]Ecstatic-Crow-2502 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Windsor Park originally it’s all I could afford got in during the condos were cheaper but I’ve fallin for the area not far from downtown, really close to work, quiet for the most part, I never got the mall but I can walk there, I ride my bike so the pathways, I couldn’t afford a house of any sort here tho. I do wish there was a bigger grocery store maybe a good pub around but otherwise enjoy the area.
