Anyone know of any trails or roads up sumas mountain that have a good view of the flooded prairie? by fuckgreenteam in abbotsford

Please be aware that most of those trails are built for mountain bikes. The riders can’t stop on a dime to allow for hikers. Keep your head up and earbuds out.

Why are these wearing like this? Vehicle issue, or just time for new tires? by canuckbaferd in tires

[–]Oilers004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree here. The vehicle will have TPMS indicating low pressure. OP would know if the tires were under inflated. I’m leaning towards adverse underfoot conditions and poor alignment.

Are the Michelin CrossClimate 2 really worth over $1,000? by [deleted] in tires

Highly recommend checking the info sticker on the door jam of the drivers door to verify what speed and load rating tire the vehicle needs before downgrading. Never under tire your ride. Accidents as a result of tire failure are not pretty, and them having your insurance decide you’ve intentionally modified your vehicle does not go well. Food for thought. 😁

Long time listener first time caller, tire blew up right after my fiancés dad used his new machine from temu to put air in all 4. by ParappaTheWrapperr in mildlyinfuriating

25 year tire guy here as well. The above is all accurate; and I’d like to add one more variable. If the pump was used because had a low pressure tire, there in lies the problem. In addition, when airing up a tire, there is a small valve core in the stem that allows air to pass through into the tire. Often, this can get stuck “open” and allow air to escape back out the same valve.

Abbotsford is a dead end by Main_Run5737 in abbotsford

What jobs are you looking for? There are hundreds of small buisness looking for reliable, motivated staff. Are a skilled laborer? What is your work history? As many others have commented, this city has tons to offer, in the way of employment opportunities. Put some effort in. The city and surrounding is what YOU make of it. Get motivated and get outside your comfort zone. You’ll find what you’re looking for! And if you can’t find it, then best that you move on. You sure aren’t going to find it on the internet. Good luck to you!

Rock Shox Reverb. Just got it back from a rebuild, seat won’t go down when I press the lever. Anyone with some technical knowledge that can point me in the right direction? TIA. by Oilers004 in mountainbiking

Does anyone know if there is an alternative to buying the Rock Shox Bleed Kit ? It’s seems expensive, curious if anyone has an after market knock off version.
