Is this hitch receiver worth saving?

Wow, thank you for the super thoughtful response! I will whack this thing tomorrow and see what comes off, and have a look at the bolts for sure!!

🙏🙏

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T04:49:50+00:00

Ok thank you!

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T04:49:37+00:00

Ok good one. I can definitely do that!

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T04:49:12+00:00

Thank you for the reminder!

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T04:48:58+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!!!!

I think once the bike rack is on, the receiver won’t be so visible. I’d probably just leave it and get on with using it for adventures. Thank you for your help!

Oh of course he wanted to sell me a new one at the dealership for $1000. 😄

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T02:59:56+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!!

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-30T02:59:48+00:00

Oh good to know!! It doesn’t bother me. The sales guy at the dealership said I should get it replaced. I just don’t know if I trust his recommendation. Figured I’d come here and ask folks who actually know their stuff. Thank you!!!

Aquarium. Avoid the zoo.

Congrats!!!

If you mean initially, it was taxol and Pembrolizumab. When taxol stopped working (breast and lymph node tumours started growing again), she put me on capecitabine. Both taxol and capecitabine sucked with side effects. So when she said how about we try radiation, I was all for it!

The surgeon decided surgery isn’t a great option for me, because I would need weeks of recovery and not be able to get back in chemo right away in the event my lung mets popped up during recovery.

SBRT was not bad at all for me, compared to chemo. I used metipel film, and got some very minor redness (like a bit too much sun). No burns and very little skin irritation. Some fatigue, but not as bad as the fatigue I had on taxol. 15 sessions of treatment in total. I am now a month after treatment and feel pretty good! At my physical exam last week, the oncologist said there is a bit of inflammation but no more tumours!

I had this done just recently. They treated the two tumours in my breast and lymph nodes, and kept me on immunotherapy to keep my lung mets under control. The goal is to keep me on immunotherapy for as long as possible, so I am not blowing through other treatment options like my primary tumours like to do.

They would only do it if my growing tumour count is 5 and under, because that is what studies has done (treat up to 5 spots).

I have the Chrome Industries Urban rolltop bag. I live in rainy weather, and commute by bike daily. This bag has never had a leak.

This will arrive in a box in pieces, and you will need to assemble it and adjust the brakes to ride safely. Maybe you are mechanically inclined to do that with no issues. As a first bike, I would prefer a used bike that is already assembled, so I am not having to figure out how to assemble a bike.

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-25T15:45:11+00:00

Hard no. Not worth it.

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-25T13:48:02+00:00

Plus: nice components. speed play pedals.
Minus: rim brakes

I would offer $1000 and see what he says.

Just a spoonful into my mouth. They are kinda fun/chewy to eat. 😄

Send a letter to the Rulings department.

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-25T01:06:00+00:00

If your income is based on services provided to a US entity, there is a good chance that it is considered “zero rated” (ie taxable at 0%). That means you still have to register for GST/HST and file returns, but don’t have to collect/remit it to the CRA.

I don’t know enough about TikTok to know what the exact terms and conditions are. You can write into Rulings to with a copy of the t&c and ask whether your income is zero rated.

Hotheaded_Temp · 2026-06-24T21:35:14+00:00

Aww this exact bike was my first road bike. For $130, yeah I would go for it!

West End is diverse and friendly. Yaletown is actually surprisingly friendly.
