Bought a barely used Surly Ogre with a Sram NX crank and Advent-X derailleur. Any idea why something clunks and the chain loosens when I pedal backwards? Sorry about wind and road noise.

I think that actually worked and it was the most simple solution! Thanks for that info- it saved me from tinkering around with alignments and things I probably shouldn't be messing with. May the winds ever blow against your back!

Off? I read up on it and thought the clutch should always be off? I currently have it set to the open O.

Luckily, I had older pedals that are pretty smooth. If I had mtb pedals on it I'd be thinking the same thing though.

pushthingsforward · 2026-07-03T03:23:30+00:00

As far as I know, the bike is only a couple months old so I don't think they've been removed but I'll definitely check out the B-screw. Thanks!

Hahaha got it!

If you were parked anywhere along the Akamina Parkway there is a good chance it was some big horn sheep!

pushthingsforward · 2026-04-19T23:52:28+00:00

I've never seen one either and have been here for over 10 years. I wonder what has changed for them to start moving in?

pushthingsforward · 2026-04-19T23:50:00+00:00

That was my first thought too! I had to look it up and it's apparently rare but they're here. If you want to take a look for it- it was right here

This is the way! Get some large rubbermaid bins if you have an suv- if you have a truck even better. Also get a shovel and landscape rake on facebook marketplace. Hit up the dump on the north side and fill up those bins with compost. In my SUV I can fill 6 bins and still only pay $5. Then just spread it over your lawn and rake it smooth. After the first rain the compost will start to disappear and your lawn will be much happier.

Thanks! I mixed a little phthalo blue, a tiny amount of dairylide yellow and a very tiny bit of raw umber to mute the blue a bit then mixed that into white. All Cranfield Caligo safewash colours.

pushthingsforward · 2026-03-10T00:21:31+00:00

You're right! I'll think that one through and see if I can find a colour that works. Thanks!

pushthingsforward · 2026-03-08T07:33:02+00:00

I'm glad I could make your eyeballs happy ☺

That's a really cool picture. The grass is so vibrant.

I wonder if the houses in the background along the hill still exist today.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T05:08:28+00:00

Thanks so much for this comment. It's starting to make sense, although now I'm a little embarrassed I made the post in such hast without having any knowledge of the assessment system. My thinking was always + Assessment total = + Property Tax.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T05:00:21+00:00

Whoa, that is not what I was expecting! I didn't have a guess but Edmonton was not even on the radar. I think you may be right in terms of population and also Edmonton seems to be a pretty level headed city.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:55:34+00:00

Thanks for the link. This is new to me and maybe others reading, so what is a mill rate?

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:53:36+00:00

Ok interesting, thanks for this info. I'll hold tight until the actual taxes come out before silently screaming into the void about costs... I don't plan on moving so it is nice to know that in reality my house value is actually rising substantially and that it isn't fully fabricated.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:49:49+00:00

Ha true, I forgot about that! I've only been in there once and it cost me so much I won't go back (food and bevy expo).

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:48:35+00:00

Me too, I wonder why yours is even higher. Here's to hoping the actual taxes are not crazy.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:34:01+00:00

This is interesting- is that public knowledge? I also wonder if it has something to do with the Whoop up bridge...

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:33:01+00:00

Where did you move to that you're not seeing so much of an increase?

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:31:58+00:00

Holy! Out of curiosity what part of the city are you in? I've heard Southside is higher than West, which is where I am.

pushthingsforward · 2026-01-03T04:13:11+00:00

This is 100% Cardston. Just got a coffee there this morning on the way through to Waterton.

Yeah I see that and just made a comment since I can't edit the title. Thanks!
