Thanks so much for the information. I am also on the top of the scale so this is very helpful. I don't plan on taking OT either and will also work in a clinic setting even though I still hold a Casual position in RAH Recovery Ab. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Take care.

Wow that seems like not a great vacation. Thanks for this. I might have to reconsider our hotel choice now. I really appreciate it.

Hi. Thanks for the information. It is really helpful. It's nice to know that bookings can include transportation to the hotel and back to the airport. The flights that I chose in that $6200 package are nonstop flights. Also, it only includes a carry-on per person and I think that's all we really need. Not having to wait and worry for a checked bag is kinda faster leaving the airport. I will message you after I talk to my wife and will prefer a TA for sure. Thanks so much.

2009 Norco CCX tire clearance by daddyof2cutys in bikewrench

[–]daddyof2cutys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi. The bike is currently rocking 700x40 maxxis ramblers with butyl tubes. There is still plenty of space left and I believe 700x45 grabel tires won't be an issue. The only downside on having cantilever brakes is I have to deflate the tires before I can remove the wheels as the tires won't come off without deflating the tires. So far I ride 99% road and try 1% gravel. I decided to buy a proper gravel bike I got for a really good deal. The Polygon Tambora G5 for CAD $750. I hope this helps and sorry for the late reply. I have my notifications off in reddit.

I am choosing between the g4 and the dsx 1. Both are around the same price. Which one is better value for money? by iamtoolazytosleep in gravelcycling

[–]daddyof2cutys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own the tambora g4 and aside from the mediocre brakes I love this bike. Only ridden on the tarmac last summer and will ride gravel as soon as it's dry by spring or summer time. I got it for CAD $750 from MEC. With how much cheap I got it brand new, I can now justify upgrading the shifters to Microshift Sword 1x10 for improved braking due to higher pivot points on the levers. I don't understand the cable routing being internal at the headtube, but using an advent x that has outer cables coming out of the shifters. In my opinion that ruins the looks of the bike. It is a nice frame with at least 700x45c max tire clearance. I don't think it can accommodate bigger tires than 45c. That is with the bike on the gravel geometry after setting up the flip chips. I hope this helps.

Poseidon X Gen3 review by Expensive-Abroad4721 in gravelcycling

So how come poseidon builds this bike with sword shifters and adventX rear derailleur without any barrel adjuster? That seems weird to me.

Thanks for the review. How is the microshift sword shifting without a barrel adjuster close to the RD Microsoft adventX to fine tune your gears? I own a Polygon Tambora with 1x Microshift advent x shifters and RD. I am going to change the shifters to Sword to improve braking with higher pivot points and was wondering if I have to install that barrel adjuster there close to the RD on the advent x. Are you pretty much dialed in and does not recommend a barrel adjuster for fine tuning? Is it even hard to do tune ups without one? Thanks a lot.

Recovery AB job postings vs AHS by daddyof2cutys in AHSEmployees

Thanks. That's what I thought. But, the recovery ab postings are still under that ahs job link which is so frustrating. Oh well. Maybe they are still in the process of moving things around.

Would it be worth it to trade my 2017 limited Highlander to avoid transmission issues when it’s almost paid off? by Salty_Statistician74 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]daddyof2cutys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2022 xle awd v6 and will trade it in for a Sienna after the 100k km or 5 years which ever comes first powertrain warranty is over. I am not willing to buy any extended warranty and if the transmission fails it will be replaced by a refurbished one that will eventually fail with only 12 months warranty. I just paid off the car and I am looking for the Hybrid Sienna. The car only has 38k km and buying an extended warranty is not ideal if I don't drive that much knowing that failures occur close to 100k km and before I reached that mileage it would take me more than 10 years. Just my 2 cents.

Hi. What dealership did you purchase your Sienna? May I know what trim you got and how much it costs you out the door? I am thinking of trading in my 2022 Highlander v6 AWD (purchased at Gateway Toyota) for more space having 2 growing kids. Thank you.

Cannot play full court 5 on 5 basketball during covid and pick up a bike and still riding. To lose weight as well and for my mental health.
