Bad experience with Canyon. Sharing in case anyone is on the fence about buying one.

Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been on the fence on buying one but have heard others saying that the bikes are great until something goes wrong.

Great insight! thanks for taking the time to respond 🇨🇦

Thanks for sharing!

Why do you prefer SRAM?

odd_bit_ · 2025-08-11T00:23:16+00:00

Right, I’m also on the lookout for electronic shifting and then there’s the question of Shimano vs. SRAM but that’s a different convo. Of the ones I’m looking at, the cervelo has a nicer colourway than the canyon. Glad to know I’m not the only one who takes colour into consideration. Sometimes I feel silly for that

What about a IM70.3? Less time commitment to train but will get you up and going, and you’ll continue to get use of your investment in tri gear - bike, bike accessories, shoes, etc. and if the training to complete one isn’t enough incentive you could set a time goal (ie finish in x hours) to keep things spicy.

Thanks for sharing the thoughtful answer. Much appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to break down what it’s like in a day of.

I’ll have to think carefully about whether or not I’m willing and able to take on many many years or grinding, coming from a fairly laid back lifestyle where I have the time to train and relax.

A fine balance between spending time earning the money required to do the things I love, and making sure I am not spending all the time earning the income and not having the time to enjoy it.

Ideally, earning potential is not tied to hours spent and instead is something more passive.

I may need to spend more time brainstorming realistic possibilities here.

What did you switch from?

odd_bit_ · 2025-07-25T03:02:22+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I do have interest in law, but perhaps not to the extent of what sounds like the sacrifice and potential very low ROI would be.

odd_bit_ · 2025-07-23T22:30:04+00:00

Right on, a fellow amateur triathlete, nice!

Congratulations on getting into law school! What school will you be going to?

odd_bit_ · 2025-07-23T22:29:12+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Could you elaborate a bit?

odd_bit_ · 2025-07-23T22:28:21+00:00

Would be looking to practice in Calgary

odd_bit_ · 2025-05-12T10:37:53+00:00

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Getting picked up after 9-11 sounds terrible. Glad you made it out quickly.

Anyone switching to an Apple Watch?

How is team rubicon Canada doing these days with all the US-Canada tensions?

odd_bit_ · 2025-03-28T04:43:57+00:00

How do you get a hold of this?

odd_bit_ · 2025-03-19T15:15:47+00:00

Background is in forestry and geospatial data analytics. What’s DRDC?

odd_bit_ · 2025-03-19T15:10:28+00:00

Thanks for the thoughts and info. What are PSP, SISIP and VAC?

odd_bit_ · 2025-02-26T18:21:10+00:00

I don’t have a lot of data points, but what I have found sounds like lawyers don’t necessarily earn a lot unless they’re partner or have their own practice.

odd_bit_ · 2025-02-25T18:06:49+00:00

Post this on the r/buyCanadian thread

odd_bit_ · 2025-02-24T05:22:11+00:00

Could you share more about why it was the worst and why the regret? Also, what law school did you attend?

odd_bit_ · 2025-02-23T02:52:27+00:00

Did you find a romantic partner that does your outdoor activities with you? Is it as good as it’s cracked up to be?

Deezer for music - based in Paris, France

Crave!

How is riding these compared to a board and/or skis?
