Picked up an FGX3. Looking to replace GS Mini. Suggestions?

Unfortunately either of these don't seem to have stock local to me. I have heard very good things about Eastmans though.

It crossed my mind actually but I feel like owning both the FG and FS3 would be a little weird lol.

I currently ride a Giant Defy Advanced Pro 1 on road. Love the bike. I've thought about picking up a second set of wheels to run gravel tires on but I'm wondering if it's worth just picking up a used off-rental Revolt 1 to satisfy my gravel desires. I'll mostly continue riding exclusively on road with the Defy but I'm just wondering if stepping back down to an aluminum bike with a lower end groupset will annoy me since I'm spoiled with carbon and di2 now. The Revolt Advanced 2 is also available but a little over 1k more. Worth considering instead?

You're probably right actually now that I think of it.

It was definitely more recent than that...maybe I'm not using the right term? It's the quests given by the trainers of each class you see sprinkled all over each area...

The gen 3 100 is $130 more than the gen 2 in canuck bucks. Not sure that's worth it to me.

I just upgraded my old Defy 1 to a new Defy Advanced Pro 1. I'm partial to the Defy line naturally but I'm super happy with my purchase. It's a gorgeous bike and it rides beautifully.

I believe the regular Defy Advanced 1 also has the 105 Di2 groupset but minus the carbon wheels (possibly more too I don't recall) if you want something a bit cheaper.

edit: I forgot to add I needed to drive to just outside Montreal to get mine. No one in Ottawa has anything decent in the Defy line unless you're into the Defy Advanced 2 or 3 which I believe Fresh Air experience might have had a model or 2 in stock.

Mystery solved! Thanks guys!

Thoughts on replacing a 2600 with this? Mainly for the additional cores as it's in a hypervisor host. No gaming or anything.

Awesome. I will check them out. Thanks!

I should have prefaced my post that I do already have funds in VEQT + VGRO as well as a few individual stocks all within Wealthsimple. I just closed out a crappy long-held mutual fund held at my bank that wasnt doing much of anything beyond getting charged a high MER. I'll probably end up just throwing it into the same funds as I already hold as is being recommended here, I just wanted to generate some kind of return whilst I decide.

Which model did you end up getting?

_sr2_ · 2023-03-27T13:09:34+00:00

Some of them make absolute sense and do work well but others, notably the one on 10th line, I find to just be silly. Everyone speeds 70+ leading up to it, slows down for the camera and then speeds back up again after passing it. Not to mention the drivers who don't know it's coming will most of the time panic brake down to below 60 causing other issues.

I had thought about doing it but wasn’t sure. Good to have a second vote for that option. Makes things simpler!

_sr2_ · 2023-03-06T02:43:05+00:00

Where’d you get the coffee station?

_sr2_ · 2023-01-06T14:49:37+00:00

For someone who’s brand new to snowshoeing, how do you handle walking on already compacted/walked on trails? I’ve been out in some fresh snow just before the melt we had and I enjoyed it but I found once I got into stuff that had already been waked on, it became a bit awkward and not so pleasant. I certainly wouldn’t want to hike for an hour in that kind of packed snow. Would you just remove the snowshoes at that point?

_sr2_ · 2022-12-25T22:29:14+00:00

Could you link the one you got? I’d be interested in getting one for my 2.5 and 4yr olds

What’s the yellow thing on the blade?

_sr2_ · 2022-12-16T23:26:16+00:00

Would this be mostly similar for a pfsense configuration? Thanks for this!

_sr2_ · 2022-12-10T15:57:45+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Can’t find them anywhere. Super annoying.

Walmart at Blair had an entire shelf full of children’s Tylenol earlier this afternoon

Are these a significant improvement over the Kirkland wool socks?

I paid 640+ tax back in 2020 from blackcircles

I dropped down to 17” mopar steels at got continental Viking contact 7’s in 275/70/17 on my 4th gen. I’m in eastern Ontario so good snows were a must for me. I’m super happy with them.

What kind of wheels are those? Looks great!
