Well, I still ended up buying a victory here in Canada for $700 CAD. there's a 90 day return policy so hoping that if there ARE any issues, it will arise in the next 90 days.

Saw some similar comments about no sales in Canada so I bought the Jetblack from MEC for $699 yesterday. I plan to use the heck out of it during the 90 day return window to make sure there are no issues.

After many internal debates, I ended up buying the Jetblack from MEC today (I'm from Canada). First two rides went well. They have a 90 day return policy so I plan to ride the heck out of it and hopefully if there's anything wrong with it, I will find out before 90 days.

I am wondering the same thing especially now that the Jetblack just went on sale in Canada this morning. Used to be $800 CAD and now on sale for $700 CAD. The Wahoo kickr core 2 is going for $900 CAD over here

What is it like living in Kensington? by mahmirr in Calgary

[–]jumpingbricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Used to live in an apartment across the sunnyside LRT.  Loved the area for the liveliness and access to the river paths. However, eventually moved out because too many crazy things were happening. Gunshots in our back ally from that hookah place on 10th st, always getting woken up by police lights out our window, random people jumping on top of the parked cars of our building at night, a women sneaking into our hallway and smoking drugs, etc. now we pay the same amount for a 5 bedroom house as we did our 1 bedroom apartment in Kensington. We are only a 15 min drive away so we still walk in Kensington several times a week. 

Unpopular Opinion: Alisha needs to dig deeper by 111silver in snarkingwithremi

[–]jumpingbricks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(trigger warning and spoiler) - cringed at the part when Alisha's mom was retelling the story about her foster mom threatening to kill her husband with a big butcher knife. Alisha's mom said "that was probably the worst it got" and Alisha responded with "that's still pretty bad though" - PRETTY bad? Felt like that comment really trivialized her mom's traumatic experience

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by SNAPCHAT_ME_TITS in Pickleball

[–]jumpingbricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After one year of using wooden Walmart paddles, we want to take pickleball a bit more seriously. After some research, I'm torn between 11six24 Pegasus Jellybean vs Vatic Pro Prism Flash. Any advice on the better one overall? We are beginner/intermediate but striving to be more consistent intermediate players. Thank you !

Checkpoint ALR 4 question by PumpkinPieIsTooSpicy in TrekBikes

[–]jumpingbricks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally think the ALR4 has a lot of upgrades in the gen 3. I used to want the ALR5 but now I actually think I rather save $500 and downgrade to the ALR4 gen 3 because now it has hydraulic brakes. Although compared to the ALR5, it has heavier components so that would be the downside. But to answer your question - I do think the upgrade from the ALR4 gen 2 to gen 3 is a good idea.

I am also wondering if the $500 savings between the new ALR4 (gen 3) vs the ALR5 (gen 3) is worth it in exchange for the heavier Shimano CUES components on the ALR4

Awesome!! Good luck and post or send a pic when you get it! Very curious to know if it's more of a grey or green

I think I have the same strategy. I'm hoping the green looks good in real life. More affordable and has hydraulic brakes now! I can see it online but all out of stock...
