So, apparently the time has come this year for spring torrent of Supercycles etc. that have wintered outside and now "sound off" :) It'll be a fun couple of weeks.
Good thing the coop has stocked lots of wd40 just last week.

i have an old cateye mount somewhere, actually a toolbox full of old mounts you're welcome to dig through. sometimes shops have extras kicking around and if they like you they'll usually toss one your way.

Hey everybody...I have a bunch of free passes to an advance screening of " The Flying Scotsman" a movie based on the life of Graeme Obree. It is on April 11 at the Varsity. I have 8 passes....first come first served.

Hey I know you posted this a while ago, but you got any left?

That movie looks pretty good.

Also, do you know what time it is at?

Tricks and Drinks Toronto worked out well tonight. It was a little chilly but fun none the less. We had backwards circles, lots of skids, old fashion cat walks, and even a full blown crash.

i thought all cantis had a standard reach on them?

no, not exactly. My steamroller for instance calls for a long reach brake. I learned that the hard way after buying a regular Ultegra. Spend and learn

I thought that might be the case and the ones I have are pretty short.

i'm talking about cantilever brakes for cross / MTB. i thought steamrollers were set up for use with dual-pivot road brakes? i know they all vary in reach but i assumed all v/brakes and cantis were standard as reach really isn't an issue with the types of bikes on which they mount.

V-brakes and Cantis use the same mount. U-brake is different. Road is different again. Any canti or V will fit the Bianchi. Cants FTW!
