    Fork Spring Preload

    Changing the fluid, forks fully extended, the cap blew thru the window and into the neighbours front yard. Measured preload at 54mm. Seems kind of much. I might ruin the threads putting the cap back on. Is 2+" preload normal or has somebody been in there? I'm going to cut 10mm off anyway. (BMW...

    Your best moment riding 2015

    What is your standout moment, the moment when you realize how incredibly lucky you are to be doing this? The very best moment came on a gravel road heading north to the Creemore area. Sensational weather and scenery. Crested a hill, start charging down the other side. What's that way up there on...

    How to not tow a bike

    Tried to bump a big single about half a kilometer. Wouldn't light, too much skidding. Guy across the street had a 3/8 poly rope, say 75ft long. "We'll do it like the desert racers, one loop around the cross bar and hold the rope. When we have adequate speed, just let go of the rope" I'm riding...

    Tire opinions please, facts optional.

    I have a useless to me sport/naked running the usual 120/70R-17 fr. and 170/60R-17 rear. I want to turn it into a gravel road runner and in the interest of protecting the "mags" (surprise pot holes) I hope to run 130/70B-17 and 160/70B-17 tires. I've already mounted a BT-45 rear tire to the...

At online checkout the price came to just shy of $100 because "tax recovery fee" as I recall. Ok, whatever. Just got the Visa statement...that $69 room cost me, all in, $139.41...

    Sportbike. Rear tire on front?

    Has anybody here ever put a 130/80/17 rear tire on the front of a sport bike? I hate not being able to take the 120/70 180/55 shod beast on gravel roads. I'm thinking one sharp edged pot hole at speed would kill the front rim. Looking at 130/80 180/55 Conti Attack 2 tires.

    never bean to starbuck

    Hey what can I say? But I've heard all the horror stories. I just drink a basic dark roast coffee, black. Is it possible to purchase something like that there? There's one on my proposed cycling route this afternoon. I'd like to try it out;)

    Idle chatter

    Some stellar threads lately so in that spirit, if you're leading a ride and every time you stop at a red light the follower pulls along side for a chat how do you deal with that gracefully? At a stop sign I pretend to be occupied with watching cross traffic and, when clear, powering off...

    How to find someone?

    After many years I went to a friends house only to find out they had moved about a year ago. They are still within the city(Hamilton). Basic googling doesn't seem to help. What are some good methods to find someone? edit, reverse 411 still gives the old address but phone number, when entering...

    Wondering about other peoples experiences with medical consent forms. Went for a minor procedure this afternoon. Consultation last week. Was handed an informed consent form. Oh ya, I'd forgotten about that. Sat down to 4 pages of reading. As I worked thru it my blood started to boil. No, most of...
