Cleaning it with what? Pure speculation. I don’t even wash the bike with a pressure hose. Like I said, in my specific case why would I even bother taking the motor apart when it was covered under warranty.

Bar space certainly came at a premium on her bike too. Riding in such a forward position is definitely more of a workout for the abs and she certainly doesn’t feel any strain on her lower back. Her body has adapted quite well and is able to sustain the aero position for about ¾ of the duration...

What an awesome ride that was Rab and such an homage to your Pop. You rock!! 👍

…and a well-deserved pat on the back for yet another good deed. Nicely done, Dave! 👍

Congrats on the new ride. That Moterra really packs a wallop. 👍SL emtbs have drastically improved since they first hit the market. Plenty of power and slimmer batteries give them the appearance of a svelte non-powered enduro bikes. It’s also nice to have trails in your neck of the woods which...

You can also add additional pages to further increase your data requirements if required. Rearranging data fields the way you want to view them on the display is easy enough too. The number of features available on the 530 is pretty decent not that you would make use of them all. There is even...

I receive notifications on my Garmin 530 when paired with my phone and I simply ignore them and let them go to voice mail. A buddy of mine takes calls on his Apple watch during rides and it irritates me to no end.

What makes you think that we were riding upwind? Gusts were out of southwest at the time and we were headed north on the way home so it was nice to have it blowing mainly in our favor. We rode probably less than 8 km in the drops. BTW, drop bars are versatile allowing one to change hand...

Spectacular weather here for a 40 km ride with the missus. A bit gusty but we can’t ignore the fact that our riding season tends to be short here so every day counts.

That’s one svelte and fun looking ride there, Rab. Would you ever consider casually inserting it into one of your routes every so often?

@Stefan Mikes - Beside that fall, it looked like a great outing. I’m sure that pizza and beer at the finish line helped. If it’s any consolation, I took a spill during my DH ride at Canmore at over 20 kph. Thankfully no damage to either myself or the bike. Just a bruised ego. 😅

Yes, I’ve heard stories about the road conditions over there. Perhaps it’s better to get back to basics. ;)

We were back in Canmore, AB for what we hoped was going to be another epic ride on a couple of machine-built trails. Highline and Cloudline were completed two years ago with help from Alberta Parks, the Canmore MTB Association and loads of volunteers from the Friends of Kananaskis. Rated blue...

Another epic trail ride in Canmore, AB this Saturday morning. Rode three singles in succession including Highline, Cloudline and Guy Lafleur. Arrived back at home two hours ago and desperately need some shuteye. Teaser photo of Ha Ling Peak. More to come.

Nose Hill? I recall another incident involving you and a canine up there a few years ago. Then there was the time when you, BIL Dale and I were riding the Nose and a woman was literally being pulled along the ground by a couple of large snarling dogs who definitely were not interested in playing...

I’m not sure where the SUV moniker originated from but it’s obvious that it stems from the auto industry and that someone is cashing in on the trend. There seem to be less than a handful of big-name manufacturers that refer directly to specific ebikes in their fleet as SUV contenders including...

Yikes! Not even a week ago we were wearing vests, arm and leg warmers to fend off bitter cold northerly gusts. It was 5C on one of our morning rides.

@6zfshdb - Holy heatwave! I don’t do well in the heat to begin with and fare worse in humid conditions. Better to stay indoors or cool off at a public pool.

I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and favored them over clipless pedals since I really didn’t feel comfortable being mechanically locked in while riding more technical trails. You can opt for either 150N or 200N versions depending on how much force you require/want when releasing the...

Looks more like a form of XC style riding to me. I find it intriguing that we are all able to find our niche in the global jungle of cycling genres. Gravelling is making such huge strides in the biking industry and many roadies combine both disciplines as it’s more of a natural transition than...
