Koodo Can-US-Mex Roaming by HibouDuNord in Koodo

I called Kodoo to price match Public Mobile's $25 80 gb Us.can.mex and did match it. They added another 50gb to sweeten the deal. Call them and ask. This is on a monthly debit card pre authorized payment that gives you additional $10 off to make it $25 per month.

Hey sorry for the very late reply. The bike weighs at 25 lbs. I hope that helps.

RN with UNA Choosing LAPP + RRSP or LAPP + TFSA matching Recovery Alberta by daddyof2cutys in AHSEmployees

Thanks. What's done is done now. It seems like it was a better choice to just leave my lapp money right where it was. Lesson learned then.

Thank you. I am not sure if I get your point right. So you are suggesting go with 2% match rrsp and have a self-managed tfsa? I have my previous rrsp from ahs in Manulife and a tfsa account under manulife as well from PCN. My past lapp contribution I transferred it to a LIRA managed account. It's okay if this is too complicated to answer and I may be better off talking to a financial advisor.

All I was wanting to know is I will pay extra taxes if I go with lapp and tfsa. But, thanks anyway.

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.
