I'm definitely in (including my car). And yeah, they have a track 2/3 combo dealie regularly on Saturday mornings (once a month I think).. AND I was chatting with Mike there via email and he said they would likely be able to do it on a different Saturday with a confirmed group of people. I don't even think it was that many.. maybe 4 or 5 people minimum? I offered to pitch in on gas for him too since he lives outside of London someplace. I don't think it would be that easy for me to go on a weeknight either.. a weekend would be much better. The 3rd/4th weekends in August are good for me, as are the 1st/3rd/4th/5th weekends in September. Any other weekend is likely a no-go for me. That's assuming we're going on a Saturday.. if it's a Sunday, the 2nd weekend in August is OK too (only busy that Saturday).

Fond du Jaunte!

I would be up for more track but mondays are a no-go for me :( Weekends would be fine though!

yikes.

that was an epic effort on the part of the dane. I like the letour.fr headline "A Flying Chicken: A Yellow Spaniard & Floyd’s Day To Forget!" Will anyone have anything left for tomorrow, or are we going to see everything reshuffled again like today?

only 43k to climb? Let me get my cargo bike..... :lol: *wheezing and entering the red zone just thinkin' about it*

He's the king for sure.. read the first section of his wikipedia node: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Rasmussen <- that's why he was my pick. totally insane. :P

Nice to meet up with ya Wes.

Is there a rolls royce of tire levers for tight fitting tires guys? My yellow quik-stik died. It needs to be strong because I always end up with SUPER tight tire/rim combos.

There is a ride tonight with some of the Toronto bike groups tonight. meet West of front and church at the flat iron building 7;00 pm then head out to the trails and the Leslie Spit..

mmm.. cheap 'n tasty lunch. If you'd had more time I would have suggested vietnamese coffee. :)

where in the market do you get vietnamese coffee?

There's a few vietnamese restaurants in the general area. Hello Saigon is on Spadina a couple doors South of Nassau.

yum

I use Michelin tire levers exclusively. I have a couple in my home tool box that I have had for over 15 years. If you are having lots of trouble mounting tires it is more often than not a case of having a tire bead set before you get the tire completely on. Once you have got the tire to the tight stage let a bit of air out of the tube and massage the tire so the bead is sucked into the rim well. This usually gives you some slack to get the tire on. 90% of the tires I mount I can get on without tire levers by using this technique.

Let me guess.....Continental tires?

I usually don't like park tools, but I do like their tire levers. They are the best I've tried so far-better than the quick stik.
