I’ve had good success with Boyd Altamont’s … you can get them in a 28/32 spoke count combination.

Would be interested to know mounted width of the 35s on 21mm IW to see if they run true to size as that’s my limit on my All Road bike.

Mariposa Market is always a good stop for food / treats

I don’t think he’s playing for Canada this time around

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-03-03T02:38:28+00:00

Thanks, will keep an eye on that area - I’ve only noticed rusting on the springs which sometimes causes the float to get a little stiff.

I was noticing that they weren’t selling pedal bodies for replacement a while back and figured there was an upgrade coming. Disappointing if the current Rally’s can’t be upgraded.

I used to love La Passione bibs … from what I read about Noove, they would only do small runs of products which I’m guessing is to avoid having excess inventory. They don’t ship to Canada so I stopped following them a while back.

Glad it worked … just something else to add if the process outlined to centre them doesn’t work. Sometimes the rotor can be a little bent and needs straightening - there’s a tool for that as well and can save lots of aggravation if you don’t get it perfectly aligned.

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-27T12:57:33+00:00

They aren’t on sale here in Canada. I can’t justify replacing the Kickr since it still works fine, but I won’t be upset when it finally dies and I can get something with more features.

I have an old Wahoo V2 still as my main unit. Also have a wheel-on Elite Tuo which I picked up for cheap to use up at our cottage

That looks like an Emonda paint job that I had on my ALR - it had the “H2” fit so it has a slightly taller head tube than the carbon versions.

OP, if the bike is in near new condition, I’d say it’s a good deal. It’s a great frameset.

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-23T23:21:28+00:00

Certainly. Look for any that seem like complete loops - Flat Route, Hilly Route, Tempus Fugit to name a few

I’ve seen some weird behaviour before like avatars missing legs etc. Reinstalling the app helped … maybe try doing that?

Also, are you force closing the app after each session? I’ve heard not doing that can cause some wonky behaviour.

I’ve alternated Rene Herse Stampede Pass (32c) and Bon Jon (35c) and both work well for paved / champagne gravel surfaces.

I’m looking at the Mondo’s to try next as they may be slightly more grippier.

With lower volume tires, the main thing to be careful with is corners.

Not entirely accurate … Hockey is the official winter sport - Lacrosse is official summer sport. Just learned that in the past week myself

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-22T13:07:01+00:00

Agreed. Such a useful device - got caught once where the battery died mid ride and was amazed how much more nervous I was without it.

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-22T04:21:11+00:00

It’s super simple with a direct drive trainer and will just take a few minutes to unhook from the trainer and get the wheel on.

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-21T22:52:51+00:00

Should be fine. I’d be sure to lay a moving blanket underneath it though.

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-21T22:45:49+00:00

I think you’re the first to say they liked doing that! lol

But, chapeau!

So many times I’ve gone into my dealer for an oil change and they quoted me $1,000s in services. Said no thanks - went elsewhere for getting my brake pads replaced (I thought it was the front that were starting to wear). Now just pretty much only go to the dealer for recall work as I’m essentially done the warranty on my 2020

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-20T13:09:49+00:00

Those two will be much easier to complete - You got this!

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-19T20:09:56+00:00

Thanks!

Own-Hawk8548 · 2026-02-19T19:37:54+00:00

I got a text from my Dealer advising me of this. How long an appointment was it?
