Danforth Neighbourhood Dental Clinic is really good. At least worth checking into it. https://www.dndc.ca/

Also - re DS browsing and M3 -- I think it's possible if you're some kind of freak with both slot1 and slot2 "solutions" (i.e. M3 simply + M3 lite), but probably cheaper just to buy the official browser. I haven't had the urge to do so due to related comments on screen size, etc.

M3+SNES emulator + Super Keirin FTW? I tried loading up the rom but can't read japanese.. need a translation :>

When looking at buying new disc routers for disc brakes, what's the difference between say 200mm ones versus 160mm (other than 40mm)? My buddy is buying a new set of wheels to put 'road' type tires on his mountain bike, with a more appropriate cassette for road riding.

I found some good wheels but they don't come with the routers. So I'm looking at different ones, and MEC has 203mm for $35 each, but 160mm are only $15.

Any insight?

Wow, you're still here. Seems the idiot customers remarks hit a nerve. I'd put you on ignore, but your posts are so lame they can be funny at times. Keep up the good work.

He acts like this because he likes spit and phlegm in his food...and make no mistake...he is getting more than he ordered.

Tubulars

Hey folks - I was working on a few parts bin conversions over the weekend and came across some parts I'm not going to use and will likely sell but have no idea what make they are (the cranks) or what they're worth (the wheel) so...

Does anyone know what brand these cranks are?



Does anyone know what a tubular wheel like this would be worth, realistically? The thing is light beyond belief... I know the Araya's a fairly well sought after and it's got bladed spokes laced to a Mavic 571 hub... Any ideas? Any takers?

I rode the Zipp's this weekend (though, they are actually Hed's.). They are a damn fast wheels, but boy do you feel the bumps. Going over subway tracks was pretty jarring.

I've switched back to my normal wheels. The Hed's are fun, but they aren't every day wheels. They did look cool though, which is the most important thing.

No I think it was being spoon-fed a warped sense of entitlement that allows him to think of and treat ppl that way. Or he's just trolling for reactions. A game of bumper catch might help him appreciate life and the people around him a bit more.

sexy cranks and wheel. let us know what you want for the wheel.

Yeah, I saw a truck out front late one evening recently with a gang of people either loading or unloading stuff. Obviously legit.

I am positive that this BF account was created by a regular contributer to the thread, just to stir up drama. No one is this arrogant, they are seeking negative re-affirmation. Funny though.

I think he buys bikes from Police Auctions up north or something, they are always junky Supercycles or Magnas that he shines up nicely and sells for a couple hundred bucks to people who want summer rides. At least, that is what they were when I rode by lasts week.

I don't think he sells much of the higher end stuff like he used to. That may be because they were less popular or because maybe they were more stand-outish, so the real owners might recover them. I mean, if you own a Pinarello, you will likely have the serial number written down somewhere and a description of it but how many Supercycle owners go to the trouble?

Back in the day there was a white van (nondescript kidnap special) that would come to town twice a year and rip off free locked messenger rides from MTL to bring them here, and vice versa..... never did figure out who it was, but there are theories. My bud came out of the stock exchange tower just in time to see a guy literally throw it into the van and jet off. They'd stick around for two weeks in the spring and the fall and then vanish.

That sucks. Did you guys figure it out when someone visited the other city? That must have been quite the surprise.

No... it happened twice a year, for at least three of the six years I was messin'. Sneaky and organized.
Messers talk and a white van would do rides from here as well, to be sold in MTL apparently.

That's some sneaky ****. Bash their heads in with a pedal wrench if you find them. Then bash their car in, bash it good.

P.S I still think Opera 8.x pwns Safari on pc
