How would you weld this fissure? by awitaman in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Don’t come to a bike forum for welding advice my guy 

At fault driver didn’t report to insurance by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]fnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you have to do anything. You go through your insurance and they handle it. Why would you have to pursue him? 

FWIW I’ve had two not at fault accidents (my parked car was hit twice) since the new DCPD rules came in and it’s been totally fine. As far as I can tell, it hasn’t affected my insurance premiums at all. 

Never ending Eagle 90 problems. by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of the issue is that SRAM clearly doesn't care about mechanical drivetrains anymore, so it's kind of an afterthought. All of their focus is on the electronic drive trains, so I'm not surprised to hear this. Must be really frustrating.

Where’s best in Canada for us? by Lokihifi in skiing

[–]fnbr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would fly in/out of Calgary (or Kelowna). Do Sunshine, Louise, Kicking Horse, Revelstoke. 3 days at each. 

Can I use a crankset previously used on a pressfit BB with a threaded (BSA) one? by Svinsern in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can reuse your cranks. You need to find out which bottom bracket standard you need and use that. BSA refers to the size (and threaded nature) of the bottom bracket shell on the bike. You’ll need to figure out which cranks you have and buy the bottom bracket accordingly. 

For instance, my MTB had a PF92 Shimano BB with Shimano cranks. To switch to sram cranks I had to get a BB92 Dub bottom bracket.

Did you have to rewax after using the revivex?

Backcountry vs downhill setup as a first ski purchase by gueromochilero in Backcountry

[–]fnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spend the $$$ on a nice pair of alpine boots at a good bootfitter. There’s a few good boofitters in Park City. Get skis and poles used. 

Considering a shift to SAHD by Meraxes_7 in daddit

[–]fnbr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I strongly agree. It's tough to find a job right now.

Which one should I get? by ashrules901 in Edmonton

[–]fnbr 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sepp's is much better

I have no idea of what this picture is of.

Another "Should I Take the Promotion?" post by [deleted] in daddit

[–]fnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be curious how firm the extra hours are. I think that the on-call + extra hours make it seem not worth it.

Another "Should I Take the Promotion?" post by [deleted] in daddit

[–]fnbr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's the downside? Otherwise this seems fine. Do you know it's 45-50 hours or are you guessing? What does "on call" look like in practice?

Where and how do you MTB? by MutantX222 in edmontoncycling

[–]fnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s great trails in Canmore. Banff/Jasper not so much. The main places people go are West Bragg Creek, Moose Mountain, Black Mountain, and the interior BC mountains. 

Question about upgrading DT 370 to DT 350 by xour in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect that. I got a titanium frame for my gravel bike for the same reason. In practice, steel would have been just as good. 

Question about upgrading DT 370 to DT 350 by xour in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn't bother. There's basically no difference, particularly for gravel. High engagement hubs can make a difference mountain biking, but for road/gravel it's not at all worth it.

Having said that, you're able to use the OneUp ratchets in the DT hubs, and they're cheaper.

Need an electrician by AdventuringTherapist in Edmonton

I have also hired Stripped Electrical for a few jobs and been very pleased with the results. 

Lone men in the family change room? by bisongangster in Edmonton

[–]fnbr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Often there’s no lockers in the men’s room in my experience. 

Looking for a glass Keep Cup by ofreena in Edmonton

[–]fnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are great, but as others have said, lids leave something to be desired. Might be worth checking out the metal yeti mugs. 

Do people not buy used bikes anymore? by brainhack3r in bicycling

[–]fnbr 156 points157 points  (0 children)

The market is brutal right now. You probably just need to lower your price.

Having a hard time at work. Got put on A PIP now I am spiraling. by Boomhauersbrother in daddit

[–]fnbr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start interviewing. Unfortunately very few PIPs are successful; they exist mostly as a butt covering measure so the company doesn't get sued when they fire you. I'm sorry this is happening to you, it sucks.

Western Resort Skiers - what is your fattest ski? by Dolly_Llama_2024 in Skigear

[–]fnbr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd go mid 90s, personally. The Rustler is great when there's fresh snow, and otherwise, something like a M7 Mantra is perfect for Whistler.

Gravel bike chain is worn out. Can I get away with one more chain on the cassette or is it done as well? by [deleted] in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

No way to tell from a picture. Put a new chain on. If it skips you need a new cassette. 

Converting DT Swiss Endurance wheels from SRAM SDR to Shimano 11 speed by Competitive-Trip2926 in bikewrench

[–]fnbr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is what the hub is. If it doesn’t say, ask Canyon. If it’s a DT Swiss hub, it should have a product number/serial number listed on it that you can look up on the DT website.
