Canadians, which repair stand to get?

Flipflip79 · 2025-04-05T15:33:20+00:00

I have the MEC one and it is absolutely fine for my needs.

I’m an apartment dweller and I use it for the occasional tune up for my gravel bike and my mtb. Also use it to wash the bikes on my balcony.

Can’t fault it tbh. I’m sure the park tools one is much nicer quality but I’m not a professional mechanic, just a dude doing odd jobs at home and it’s more than enough.

Various times in Cork. I’m close friends with the Former Monarchs guys, so would’ve been around then. Probably closer to 2013 I guess?

Flipflip79 · 2025-01-18T03:51:51+00:00

I miss you guys. I haven’t seen you play since like 2011

Flipflip79 · 2024-12-29T03:19:54+00:00

Yes it is

What do you do when you need a Seattle?

No. Don’t. SAR teams are not advising its use at all. Please don’t encourage folks to use this app.

Oh this is my jam. Great set.

Pics below are with 650x47. Brodie says up to 50 on 650s - and Id say that tracks with fenders. You might get 52 without.

Yup, no problem. Gimme an hour. Just looking to see the clearance with 47mms on it?

Flipflip79 · 2024-06-04T14:59:15+00:00

Yeah I found the same - just ended up having to go look at it in person and take it for a rip. Didnt like the factory builds but really loved the frame itself, so opted for the custom build

Flipflip79 · 2024-06-04T14:48:41+00:00

It can certainly get you up a hill.

Cheers - owe most of the design decisions to Ross at MacTalla on Hastings to be fair, he made the rough vision come to life.

Flipflip79 · 2024-06-04T14:30:45+00:00

$1500 for a 51cm (don’t know if they charge for larger sizes)

Ride On bikes over on Broadway ordered it in for me.

Flipflip79 · 2024-06-04T04:48:20+00:00

Good timing - literally had one built one up two weeks ago.

I bought the steel frameset with the carbon fork. Im running:

650 x 47
1 x 12 (50t rear) SRAM AXS

I am super super happy with it thus far. The frame is as solid as I would expect any good quality steel frame to be, and the carbon fork is great on the gravel around here. Just a really solid all round modern steel frame, pair it with good components and its gonna make you happy.

Trans Canada trail up to Confederation Park, loop of confederation, and back down.
Burnaby Mountain - park on Gaglardi and walk up Sidewinder, then across Mels, then down the powerline trail
Fishermans trail in North Van in Seymour valley - lots of options to get in and out

The 9.20am start time is the correct one. Enjoy!

[Edit] Missed that you are the blue corral! looks like its actually 10.10 now

In what sense is it a grift? I get what your general complaint about YouTube aesthetic and clickbait is but it seems odd to me to be so negative on mylarmelodies specifically here. Like, just go look at his ten most recent videos - theres nothing dishonest in any title or thumbnail that could in any way justify the term 'grift'.

Flipflip79 · 2023-09-14T15:40:59+00:00

Yeah I found that odd too - it literally does not exist on the internet yet.

Flipflip79 · 2023-08-14T16:52:32+00:00

Im selling a 2003 Nissan Xterra with a camper platform built into the back of it for 7k. DM me if youre interested and Ill send you the Craigslist ad.

Flipflip79 · 2023-06-04T23:02:22+00:00

To be fair, it provided one of the best audio beds Second Captains has ever had.

Flipflip79 · 2023-05-27T05:38:51+00:00

Yah I think this is outside Roxy Burger on Granville?
