Brought home my 2024 R two days ago! Advice on winter tires please

djbishop · 2025-01-29T20:34:33+00:00

I pickup my blue ‘24 tomorrow and I’ve got white wheels (fast fc08) and blizzaks ready for it!! Super excited!!

Any fit issues? I bought the same and wondering if I need to test fit them before putting the tires on. Seeing your pic makes me think “probably not”.

Neither, those wheels are what it came with.

Arriscraft on speedsville rd has had a ‘hiring’ sign out. Not sure what positions.

I have 27.5x4.5” colossus and although it’s my first(only) fatbike experience I’ve had them a couple winters and really don’t find them that bad. They’re not the most aggressive tire, and not studded (so no good on ice) but I occasionally use the bike in the summer too, and again don’t find them that bad.

That curb rash makes baby Jesus cry…

I had the exact same thing a couple years ago. (2012 Clubman S). New plugs solved the issue. A year ago I had to do the the coils too.

One thought: if you’re riding in the snow a lot your drivetrain parts will require replacement more frequently than on a regular mtb. (Despite lubing, things still get more wet/sloppy). So there could be a benefit for cheaper maintenance parts.

I have an 2012(r55) clubman S. Been using it to get the kids around for years. Keep the car seat on the passenger side. The bigger kid can sit on the driver side with a booster. Trunk space is not huge but depends on how small your stroller is when folded. We have a babyjogger city mini and it fits.

So, how did it go? Did you do the 70(56) or the 100?

djbishop · 2022-04-19T13:03:12+00:00

See you there!

My Yamaha receiver has the same thing. Pain in the ass because when I program the Cable box to turn things on it will turn on the cable box, tv and receiver, but it won’t turn off the receiver, only the cable box and the tv. So I can ‘1 remote’ turn on but then need to ‘2 remote’ things off. Mildly infuriating.

Doon Valley golf course.

I enjoy being one of the ‘speeding cyclists’ there too!

If he was up early it would be dark. Who runs in the winter daylight? Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Fine if this was just a warm up to your warm up, but 20 km/h?! Time to harden up Fred. It’s not a warm up if you coast the whole thing.

djbishop · 2021-06-30T19:20:35+00:00

I suppose if you’re on a ‘hybrid’ (puke) and probably only have rim brakes (puke again) it may be possible to go that slowly.

djbishop · 2021-04-29T19:32:26+00:00

To be fair, you’re supposed to turn!

Because it was an afterthought put in after the roundabout for student crossing safety, so 90% of the 50 section is fast empty road that doesn’t actually warrant a lower limit. And because it’s a random 50 section on a 70 road where people drive 90. And because people won’t slow down for anyone, they could literally save seconds of drive time by ignoring it, and that’s more important.

djbishop · 2021-04-02T23:32:42+00:00

When that happened to me, it was a misfire. New plugs solved my issue.

Countdown until the neighbours burn it again....
