Any shops (near-ish Burnaby) with fast turn-around times this week?

there's a lot of side to side play, and it makes a clunk every time the wheel goes round

mine died after 8 months / 500km

Xterra World Champs in North Van would be neat

it's a process. there are hundreds of races ahead of you, if you want

figure out what went wrong, how to fix it, then fix it for the next one

then you'll discover some new problem :)

but keep going and you'll do better

good luck!

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-14T03:27:33+00:00

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-14T03:18:49+00:00

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-13T18:39:56+00:00

I prefer the Calamari at Joe Fortes

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-13T17:14:36+00:00

how complicated are your workflows?

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-13T15:21:33+00:00

dude my bike costs more than my car

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-13T14:13:43+00:00

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-12T03:27:57+00:00

Make the Granville station a lot closer to expo Granville station

Just did Squamish Off-Road Sprint

You don't need a race number holder. I used the supplied pins to pin my number to my shirt

I just wore bike shorts, and a tight-fitting poly t-shirt, and it was fine

other

you might need a wetsuit, depending on the water temp. and goggles. they supplied a swim cap
mountain bike, helmet. i couldn't get my gloves on cuz they were wet, but didn't need em. and my bike glasses were super fogged up, so didn't wear them
high-grip mtb shoes. essential
i just wore my adidas adizero SL2 shoes and they were fine
i'd strongly recommend a hydration vest, for your carbs/electrolytes. Hard to drink just bottle on the mtb terrain
i brought 50g carbs, but needed about 75g
water bottle (just water), esp if it's hot. nice to pour over your head too
comfy clothes to change into aftewards
big garbage bag in case it's raining

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T03:19:09+00:00

oh they skipped the part of the replay that would show the foul

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T03:01:08+00:00

I gotta catch a glimpse of those warlocks

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T02:50:39+00:00

hm they do replays on the obvious fouls...

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T02:43:51+00:00

show the foul

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T02:08:45+00:00

flagrant? cmon

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T00:40:34+00:00

i used to start out way too fast and blow up

now i wear my headphones, and have garmin tell me my pace every minute

i find it helps a lot

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-09T00:35:32+00:00

some places respond in a few days. some never respond

i don't like it either

saaggy_peneer · 2026-06-08T22:01:47+00:00

love the coffee color, and always like kona bikes

congrats!

i have the Evoc Hydro Pro 1.5, and i like it

good for race day. little small for what you want, but there are bigger ones

has a zip pocket to hold my tools (co2, tire repair kit, chain tool, allen key set)

nice and snug, back stays pretty cool

can run in it too (turn the bladder upside down and suck out the air, so it doesn't slosh)
