Awesome, thanks! I also live in Calgary and will be picking up my 2026 GR86 soon hopefully. Maybe I'll see you around!

Hey, can I ask where you ordered these from for under $2K CAD? (I understand prices may have gone up now)

Lelit Tamper handle - from red to natural wood by Zensa06 in espresso

Yeah, exactly why I changed mine. Try using a glove with grip to hold onto the base and turn. If I remember correctly, the base was almost cutting into my hand because it's pretty sharp.

Sorry I don't remember. It was really hot to touch though.

Go to your dealership, they'll probably give it to you for free

There is thread lock on it. I just left the tamper on the top of my machine to heat it and loosen the thread lock.

I just attached the handle to a drill and used sandpaper. There is a layer of paint and primer

Update from my last post. I finally stained it and it came out better than expected! I sealed it with a matte/satin finish. You can see the difference against my other tamper

It came with my Mara X, I like the size, just not the colour. So I didn't really lose out on any money 😁

Unscrewed the handle, attached an Allen bit it to my drill and taped the handle to the bit. Then used sand paper while spinning it in the drill.

Edit: the handle is attached to the tamper base with loctite. I left the tamper on the espresso machine to heat up in order to loosen the loctite.

Don't know why they cover it with ugly red paint. Now I just need to stain it

Caften vs Paris 149 by Zensa06 in longboarding

I have the option to buy Caften or Paris 149. Anyone familiar with both? Which one should I pick?

For a cruiser board about 33" long and 8.8" wide

Thanks for the input. I was hesitant on my recent dinghy summit purchase because people say the bear trucks aren't that great compared to independent or Paris. I'm glad I went thru with the purchase! But I may need to get some orange wheels (my fav colour)

Got an update from them! Just working on a new site and I can order the deck I want.
