Toronto Repair Question: Replacing Star Nut in Steerer Tube -- Any suggestions on which LBS would handle this? The upper portion on the star nut in the steerer tube of my Bianchi, has...separated itself from the lower portion, and done some fair damage to the inner wall of the tube on its way out. Thoughts?

Did you ever follow up with Cindy Lewis about the fixed gang trying out the computrainers? I mentioned it to her and Alan, received a pleasant smile and a "sure why not". I'll bring it up again if anyone is still interested.
I'm now part of the club as Cindy has asked me to put together a spinning program that will probably start next week.

Simple. I love it. The top portion brought the threaded post out with it, so just the bottom washer portion remains. Cheers.

terrible road conditions right now, all the roads are pure black ice
i had 4 or 5 close calls then finally ate **** hard on bayview, walked the rest of the way and had 4 or 5 close calls just walking
tore my favorite jacket in the process
i'm sure it'll clear up pretty quick as the tempeture warms up

Geometry is wack. Well over 4 pounds for an alu frame is a tad high. It has an integrated headset. My experiences with them as a company have sucked ***** in the past. The red is hideous. $499.99 regular price? rip-off. I guess you could do worse for $199.99..that is the best thing I have to say about that frame.

What a Canadian legend! I have had 'angel eyes' in my head since last night.
TJ where did you get your AXIO laptop case? Had them here: https://www.academicsuperstore.com/ma...gory_id=264528 for cheap, but can't seem to find them now. I need some serious protection for it. I have been rolling the dice with the neoprene.
