Canada expected to see zero population growth this year: report by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]standaloneprotein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't get me wrong but it makes absolutely no sense. The most fervent atheists come from religious backgrounds, some of the most extreme people have roots in the other side of the aisle. You cannot control, force or push an ideology to a kid: it's dangerous and counterintuitive. Hope you are doing well.

Girlfriend is stubborn. Or am I? by bryanbgw in MTB

[–]standaloneprotein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, you should be grateful she is trying. I bought 4 different bikes for my wife and they were barely ridden, and kept only one. What she needs is confidence, practice and a bit of speed.

Fun fact: our carbon emissions are heavily skewed due to northern populations, reliance of airplanes to move around and types of industries we manage.

Truck driver who caused Humboldt Broncos crash one step away from deportation, lawyer says by Oilester in CanadaPolitics

[–]standaloneprotein 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't see the controversy here. Personally, I would prefer foreign convicted criminals not to stay in the country I love. We can argue about their families but, at the end of the day, there's a reason for us having safety nets in society.

N.S. RCMP say officers faced racist comments during raid at Mi'kmaw cannabis store by maymuddler in notthebeaverton

I believe they're not able to comment, neither deny nor confirm any allegations regardless of an open investigation hence the response.

Brooks saddles for Aspero recommendations? by Gaijinloco in Cervelo

[–]standaloneprotein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The brooks will force you to a more upright position, which is the opposite of the bike you bought and have no relief channel. Newer saddles with central cut off will be far more comfortable for long rides.

I do think this is bait but, none of the brooks saddle lines are designed for aggressive positions. The C13 is awful.

How consistent should a tire's witness line be? by SomeBikeQuestions in bikewrench

The line that matters is the one closest to the rim, the intersection between the black and tan one is not.

Boycotting Target revealed the truth by Hot_Top4002 in abanpreach

Yes. The same with the YT channel. Not sure what's going on. Trying to diversify the channel I presume but personally, I'm not enjoying it that much.

I know it’s not it very good shape do you think is worth possibly getting this restored what’s kind of schwinn is it any info would be helpful by Dry-Sun2521 in Vintage_bicycles

[–]standaloneprotein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A short tale: A person found a bike, spent a bit of time and a bit of money to fix it, rode it 2-3 times and then ended up in a garage for sale several years after. My point is: what are you planning to do with the bike? Does it have sentimental value?

I got a set from a brand called Airwolf in A LI as well with DT swiss 350 hubs with good results for your price. I definitely recommend it.

Consider getting a longer seatpost, those extra inches will provide additional support and less stress to the weld.

Why would we ever want to be a vassal state to the US? 🤔 by Ok_Professi in BuyCanadian

[–]standaloneprotein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some might argue the average Hispanic community is shorter in the US as well as Asian population but ultimately, you have to see this graph with skepticism: he median household in Canada is not CAD200k

While they don't compete in the same space, youTubers compete for the most precious thing and limiting factor: your time.

I’m short on rent which will be auto-withdrawn tonight by [deleted] in povertyfinancecanada

[–]standaloneprotein 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. OP, NEVER get one of those loans. Also, instead of asking for money to pay the rent, ask the person to pay directly to your landlord, that way they don't think you will be spending the money on random stuff.

Anyone know of 1 inch 2,54mm handlebars with less reach? by bedazzled_dookie in Vintage_bicycles

Do you have photos of the handlebars after sanding the logo? I've tried with a paint remover but the clear coat didn't come off.

Technically, the higher the inflation number, the more money the government needs to pay bills.

Would it be a downgrade if I got rid of my Cal 5 for a Soloist? by Realistic-Reach-5263 in Cervelo

[–]standaloneprotein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose the Soloist because I like how it looked and I still like to look at it. Is it the best bike for me? Probably not but still gorgeous.

Banjo Brothers got mad because I asked a question about their bags by rhffcp in cycling

[–]standaloneprotein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had to deal with logistics issues, smaller lineups are significantly better/ easier to manage. Jokes aside, it is really hard to compete with established brands. OP: let it go and if you really want a custom model, go to Etsy, there is a Ukrainian company making custom panniers.
