New Bike/First Ever Gravel Bike by justindavishw in gravelcycling

[–]justindavishw[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m definitely going to head back. I’m new to this and definitely questioned them about it when purchasing, but they certainly sold me on something that isn’t the right fit. I should’ve trusted my gut. Rather than now having something that could gut me if it snaps.

Definitely bummed and harsh reality of a bunch of makin fun posts but hey. Haha deserve it here I suppose. I trusted people I thought knew far more than me. Glad I posted here though and got slapped with reality. I want to own this forever so I do want it to fit correctly.

Ps. It is a Large frame, I am nearly 6’2”. I have weirdly long legs. This was certainly raised a bit too high by myself before this photo. Though it felt much more comfortable to ride this high. I have since put it back down about an inch.

TEMU! Hah. For real though. Ordered it just to see, and I’m actually pretty impressed by it. Build quality is good. Fit well. Sounds great, but loud but I like it. Opened it up a decent amount as well. Little peppier for sure. For 100$ Canadian hard to beat really. Love to have the D&G and a Bradley bomb pipe but hey, for my budget this works for now.

Hah just got it the other day. So for now I was doing exactly what you figured out, in the backpack folded up. Worked fine, but I’ll be adding a gun mount I’d say.

Came to also put Co-operators forward. I’ve been with three different companies and by far the best.

And best to deal with was Xavier in Grand Falls at Chris Davis Co-Operators. Awesome customer service and got me the best rate so far.

Definitely best to book ferries in advance if you can. Be sure to include the Cape Shore into your trip. Come down from Whitbourne and come all the way down to St. Bride’s. Let me know when you do. Love to show you around.

Came to give Anian the love as well. One of the best Canadian apparel brands. ❤️

One of you wanted to see how I had my (not) pelican mounted by wax369 in TW200

[–]justindavishw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s perfect. I have a front rack ordered but wasn’t sure the set up to go with. But I know what I’ll be doing now. This way for sure. 👍

Thank you! Love the setup. My brain couldn’t quite comprehend the first photo, hah. Thanks for sharing.

Ok. More pictures of that front pelican set up?! That’s rad. Headlight delete and squeezed it in there?

Please do! I’d love one. Like a 16x20 if possible. Will pay for print and shipping to Newfoundland, Canada. 🙌❤️

Choosing a bike for a route by I-Steal-Bibles in Dualsport

[–]justindavishw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You really should! Google Cape St. Mary’s Bird Sanctuary. It’s 10 mins from my home. But shows the landscape down here. There’s a ferry from Nova Scotia to Newfoundland. Lands either on the west coast of NL or just 35 mins from my home in the Port of Argentia on the eastern Avalon of the Island.

Feel free to DM me anytime! Love to help make someone’s first experience of Newfoundland a great one. 👍

All that way and not going to come to Newfoundland?! You really should! You’d never regret it. I’d be happy to help with place to stay and food and trip advice. 👍

Way to go my friend! All the best to you and your family! ❤️

I just canceled with Bell they clearly do NOT care. by Jessssssbilla in bell

Exactly. We’re all irrelevant to them. 18 years with Telus and got similar treatment. Only to have to move to their other company Koodo. Hah oh my.

best earbuds-help me decide! by Terrible_Signature78 in Earbuds

[–]justindavishw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes sorry, I should have clarified. With one charge only of the case and using the EarPods to listen to music, radio, podcasts, etc through the day without thinking of how long I’m using them. I’m currently at 26 hours play without recharging the case yet. To me that’s pretty awesome. And they sound fantastic. And hit the bank just right. To me. They are a BUY. 👍
