After the DSR ride I'm going to head on over to Manic coffee with the hubs. I should be there 8:15ish. If you are going to be able to make it let me know so I bring the hubs for you. $39 for 120, $41 FOR 126/130.

I was trying to get the post out and it snapped. The design of the post was a bit odd, it had a really thin part up by the clamp and I was trying to twist the post around but it snapped instead. I had just put it in the frame about a month ago which was why I was so surprised that it was stubborn to get out....oh well, the post was $30 on CL a couple of years ago.
It is my Ciocc frame and I have two other seat posts that fit it and that are being un-used but the carbon was pretty comfy.
And yeah, to cupcrazy4, if you powder-coat your frame at Jet-Kote, it is only $75 for a simple colour such as black or white (and red I think) and then it goes up to $120 for funkier stuff. I am planning on re-doing my Ciocc in white since I managed to get my hands on some yellow decals....I liked the white on my Razesa a lot, so fresh!
Search this thread for 'razesa' and you should be able to see some close-up pics of the frame when it came back from Jet-Kote, they did a pretty good job.

Cupcrazy4 I tried a DIY paint job and it was a PITA. Plus my job was mediocre and the frame is full of rusty chips now. I'm sure you can do better but it's though to beat a 75$ powdercoat (plus it's super durable and enviromentally friendly). Or you can try Marinoni in Montréal: 160$ with a max 2 week turnaround time. I'm bringing a frame there this w-e so we'll see.

Feew I though it snapped while riding... Carbon postseized in steel... weird.

I can't say a single bad thing about quando quality, to be honest. I've been riding the hell outta this bike for 3 years in all weather, year round and I've only had the hub serviced once (which was just routine maintenance, not any real issue per se). And yeah, they're cartridge bearings.

So i was going downtown today to get some gloves from MEC, but i broke my rear wheel somehow. I was at a light, and when it turned green i started to pedal and then it happened. I couldn't see what exactly went wrong, but i am guessing something with the spokes since the wheel was wobbling. Anyway this is an old bike i don't want to waste time keeping it alive (and it was a hybrid), so my question is do you know of any good stores in Toronto where i can get fixed/single speed frames/components or complete bikes for $500 and under?

I'm thinking about trying the Don's trails on the weekend. I've never done them before, are they relatively easy to navigate?
