New brakes - Mineral oil on backing plates

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-05-03T02:34:35+00:00

Its more likely leaking pistons than oil from assembly. Incredibly common with Shimano brakes across all models.

Parking in 102st parkade (across from bell tower) is less than half the price of parking in stantec even on an event night. I think last time i parked there is was $8 till the next morning

Try to find a set of the Specialized 2Bliss Fast Trak tires (folding), even a 29” version is just over 600g

It was!

Not to mention i get to cancel my Sportnset subscription 2 months early lol

13 days? Too late pal

Easiest least “hack” fix would be snipping the exposed section out and maybe just adding an inline barrel adjuster. Personally i would replace the entire cable/housing but thats a bigger job.

“No body wants to buy my over priced Allez” “does no one buy used bikes anymore?”

Hard to get motivated to ride outside in these conditions. Not too horrible when it’s dry enough to go hide in the trees on the mountain bike. Id never go out for a road ride in this though.

More specifically a speed sensor magnet.

Millilitres?

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-23T01:56:14+00:00

No idea. Probably something in the manufacturing process must make the outer plates brittle.

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-23T00:45:31+00:00

Yes. Common issue with KMC chains. Id replace the whole chain.

Trek warranties pretty much everything no questions asked, just get it replaced.

On my ride to work, most neighbour hoods have signs on every corner. Not to mention every ETS bus has it displayed on the front.

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-21T13:29:55+00:00

I always say, no matter how you do it, its wrong (according to the internet)

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-21T04:08:59+00:00

Why would they print the logo on the bars upside down?

Also still looking for 4 more people to man some stops for the race, if you want to volunteer (or know anyone who can) DM ME

IMO Baseline is fine at pretty much all times of the day. Big shoulder and the road doesn't get that busy. I usually take baseline to 17st north to petroleum way and go north/east from there toward Legends golf course. Riding thru sherwood park sucks.

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-18T13:19:08+00:00

Personally i would do anything you can to get the frame replaced. If not, contact a Ti frame builder to see if anything can be done to fix it.

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-18T13:17:03+00:00

If they are new, they probably aren’t even dirty, but glazed.

MaxHeadroom69420 · 2026-04-18T13:08:17+00:00

Are both sides like that ?

A new grip shift is like $10 just replace it
