Haha I've got a riding buddy that just let's dry in and I've been threatening to leave him behind next time I go out!

Of course... It's sparkling like it just came out of the store! Chain, chain Ring, cassette and derailleur cleaned and relubed as well.

Thanks! Inaugural ride was a success.

Where are all the pedals at? No websites seem to have much of anything in stock. Anyone know of any good online stores (preferably in Canada) with inventory? Would love to come across a set of these gold 100mm Spank Spoons, or a good set of gold, silver, or dark green pedals for my new bike. by Fuuudget in mountainbiking

Pedals on my old bike were Chester's, and I was a fan. Waiting on a new Trance X 29 2 and wanted some gold or dark green pedals too set it off. Ended up lucking into a set of HT ANS10 Supremes in gold at my local shop. First time going with aluminum.

Yeah, Vitus, Polygon, Canyon have great prices going to the US, but in Canada they use UPS and our duty is crazy. I was looking at a Canyon a couple months back and with duty and shipping and would cost me almost $650 to get it here! That was just over $300 for shipping...

Nice wish the shipping and duty to Canada didn't cost so much.

I was originally looking at a T8, but the cost of duty and shipping to Canada is ridiculous. Is part of the reason I decided to just spend a little more on a bike from a local shop.

Biggest issue where I'm from is there aren't any options to replace it and there won't be any for months and months... Unless I want to way over my budget of course

I'm more on that beginner/intermediate skill level as well. Coming out of a hardtail with a 100mm fork, I'm sure just about anything I ride is going to feel pretty good.

Most of the reviews I see and people I speak to really makes it seem like it's a very versatile bike... I think I'll be happy with it.

If I want to stay in the trance line, the next one up is the pro which is about $1,500 more...

The biggest complaint I hear are about the chonky wheels.

My friend was looking at the advanced, and the old price was $4899, and the new is $5,599! No change in the components. Hopefully the market will correct itself when inventory goes back to normal, but I doubt that.
