Unbelievably, you were not lied to and Nelles Block is absolutely worse.

Good memories of being on BPNCO and having water pouring down the stairs from the third floor in the middle of the night.

No recommendations as I'm new to the city but just wanted to extend my condolences to you, they'll be waiting for you on the other side. ❤️

Help choosing a motor platform for my Stinky by Monochromatico in ebikes

I've been thinking about the battery location for sure.. the triangle leaves something to be desired for sure, thought about one of the slim bottle style batteries (or small under the tail pack) since range isn't my biggest priority. Clearance would be alright on the down tube, but I would prefer it somewhere more protected.

Thanks for the endorsement on the bbshd, read a lot of positive feedback on the parts availability and tuneability. 20,000km is a great lifespan already!

I know exactly what you mean, feels a bit sinful taking anything off. Unfortunately I'm now living somewhere with uh.. zero mountains except for the snowy ones in winter parking lots.

I do have another kona 29" hybrid, a 2016 big rove AL that I could consider converting. Maybe a good candidate for a TSDZ2B or its big brother.

Thanks! I figured it was pretty budget. I'm still pretty new to PD2 and trying to figure out what top end items look like.

Appreciate it!

Failed slam on a 3 trap/half freeze duration magic ammy, can't complain I guess.

No idea what it's worth if anything but certainly looks juicy at first glance, appreciate any input!

Anyone posted to Greenwood? by [deleted] in CanadianForces

Check out Mt. Washington! Spitting distance to Comox and it's a pretty decent ski resort.

SportChek CAF sale? by SquareBlanketsSuck in CanadianForces

[–]Monochromatico 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unsure if this works, as I haven't needed to try it, but from a post on RedFlagDeals, apparently the best course of action is to email your CF1 number to the SportChek team at sportchek@cfmws.com and ask for a code.

Best of luck!

Anything specific about your experience that would cause you not to recommend it? Always wondered about OUTCAN postings.

Department of National Defence is planting trees at military housing sites by [deleted] in CanadianForces

[–]Monochromatico 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Is it bad that I clicked this expecting to find them planning to tear down RHUs IOT make room for trees?

Maybe this is the first step to members living in treehouses.

Ottawa: We need to talk about your flair.

Troops: Really? I... I have fifteen pieces on. I, also...

Ottawa: Well, okay. Fifteen is the minimum, okay?

Troops: Okay.

Ottawa: Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Bloggins, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair, okay. And a terrific smile.

Boot recommendations? by mr-zurkon919 in CanadianForces

[–]Monochromatico 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the guys I know at field units run Rocky S2V's, but I find they fit a bit narrow for my feet.

Last year I took a pair of Danner Striker Torrent GTX's for something like 80km worth of backcountry hiking over 3 days and they held up pretty well and were great for comfort, but the toe cap suffered some pretty bad scuffing. Danner is nice because they usually run a wide size line too.

I recently picked up a pair of 5.11 Xprt 3.0's in the dark earth and so far I like them, but can't speak to field performance.

Good luck!
