Thanks for the head's up @konifere, just ordered one. At 5'7", I went for a size small. Reach is close to my medium hd5, which I find very comfortable. Never really cared about fatbike but I figured that at this price, even if I end up using it only 3-4 times every winter for a few years it'll be worth it.

TRP TR-33 rotors for $68, in 203mm version.


Might be a typo on their website, as every other spot has these listed for $80 (or more).

Oddly, the 160mm rotor is $72.

I ordered two...

Yeah hopefully they are straight.

Got them from @Westy's enginerd feedback on them being fairly true. And will hopefully cut down on the occasional rubbing I get with my Hayes Dominions (on 2.1mm thick rotors).

:popcorn:

I initially thought that the difference between rotors (except thickness and machined vs stamped) were purely cosmetic, but those TRPs changed my mind. If I wasn't running Maguras which have little pad-rotor clearance, I'd swap all my rotors for those TRP 2.3s.

Good deal for those who need SRAM 12spd cassettes :SRAM XG-1275 Eagle 10-50T 12 Speed @ 160$ instead of 336$.

Cheers, will send that to the GF, as thats cheap enough just to have as a spare for future use.

On another note, MEC has the strangest selection of parts. And usually, it's never anything that I need - which sucks sometimes, as they are fairly convenient for me to pick stuff up from.

$50 for 11 speed XT derailleur - https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5055-760/deore-xt-rd-m8000-sgs-11sp-shadow+-rear-derailleur?queryID=dd7cd1f0cafd38ff2b0d421b2dc2d40a&colour=Black

$5 for 8oz bottle of Orange Sealant (light version) - https://www.mec.ca/en/product/5039-424/tubeless-sealant-8oz-with-injector?queryID=202208b4531f93d2dcb3a3781910afff&colour=NO_COLOUR

$4 for 4oz bottle of Orange Sealant (regular version) - https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6019-056/tubeless-tire-sealant---regular-refill?queryID=a6bdf763a7ad3381a59108e75a6a7e9d

$10 for 8oz bottle of Orange Sealant (endurance version) - https://www.mec.ca/en/product/6019-061/tubeless-tire-sealant-with-injection-system---endu?queryID=a6bdf763a7ad3381a59108e75a6a7e9d

Also browsing their menus for products doesn't always work, what crap. Can only find the light sealant if you browse and don't search.

thanks for the heads up on the XT mech (in a world of big heavy $500 derailleurs, i love these wee things); just snapped one up & a couple chains for cheap. feels like mec is purging their parts inventory / paring things down a bit in that department.

Not your problem. They advertised at one price, they need to honour it.


Section 74.05 of the Competition Act prohibits the sale or rent of a product at a price higher than its advertised price.
Hmmm, I guess I could have pulled that card. I told them to just cancel the order, if they can't honour the price.

Already ordered two more rotors from Fortnine. With free shipping its only $10 more anyways.

and another shop that's within a 10 minute walk from me... I dropped by last year and was pretty underwhelmed. But I just read in the newspaper that they bought out an old bike shop whose owner was retiring, so maybe they're expanding their offer? Need a new townie for the boy this year so may wander over to see what they have...

Props to fullcycle again.

Wanted to order a North Shore Billet hanger, but NSB wanted to charge $20 for shipping (or get it free with $100 pufxhase).

Fullcycle is going to bring the hanger in for the same price as NSB, but with free shipping. :)

Yes, thanks to you for the head's up about Full Cycle a while ago. I ordered stuff from them a few times already and I only have good things to say.

That being said, I never had an issue reaching the 100$ minimum when shopping on the NSB website. :homer:

Revolution Cycle in Edmonton have a few good deals from time to time.

I just received two pairs of the Crank Brothers Stamp 2 (Large) pedals and they seem to have many left in stock at 50$ (MSRP 120$)

FYI I received the latest updated version even if the picture shows the older version. That's what I wanted to I'm pretty happy with that!

The "raw" finish has some kind of grippy clearcoat over it, so it makes the pedal a tiny bit grippier. Still haven't tried them, but they seem solid!

I have had an SQLabs 611 Ergowave Active saddle for the last 5 years.
I really rate it, but last fall I ended up bending a seatrail.
Was looking for a replacement, but was really put off by the 275.00 Cdn price.

My sit bones are 13 cm and according to SQLabs ( and my current saddle ) that puts me on a 15 cm width.

Well, if you are also on the same size, I found a deal.
They only have the 15 cm, but at 110.20 instead of 275.50, it was a no-brainer.

not in Whistler anymore :/

probably not. i used to sell sqlab exclusively. take 5 of their cardboard tests and you will usually have a range of conflicting results. these days i only do saddle pressure measurements via gebiomized pressure mats, people usually sit more on the the frontal part of their sit bones. most men need a 140mm ish saddle. initially i also thought i need a 15cm one, these days i ride 14cm sqlabs. the cardboard test is just not really exact enough and lays to much emphasis on the interpretation of the sales person where exactly the heaviest pressure occured (and its mostly depended on the angle you sit on the cardboard).

--> 15cm only when you ride in a really upright position.

fun exercise: go to a store that sells ergon saddles and has their digital measurement device and do a few tests and compare the results :)

Well, strange enough, I had a big sheet of single faced corrugated cardboard and did the test 3 times last night and got pretty much the same results each time. I then looked up my result from when I first got the saddle in 2019. All four were the same within a 5 mm variance at 13 - 13.5 cm. Then going +2 as recommended by SQLabs based upon their little position chart...

You maybe correct that I need a 14 instead of the 15, but while not full grown moose size like @bullcrew I'm still 188cm and 95 kilo's, so no delicate flower (I know that does not mean my sit-bones are super wide, but statistaclly at my size, I would tend to the larger dimentions) and I never had a problem on the 15 cm in the past 5 years. Most comfortable saddle I have ever used

Then for a delivered price of 140 Canuckistani Pesos instead of about 340.00 if "normally" priced, well I bet you can figure the rest out.

Looks like fullcycle.ca has increased their free shipping threshold to $99 now.

:(

When it was $35, that was unique and great if you needed one item, even if it wasn't on sale or a little higher priced than others.

Still good shop though. They've never screwed up and order and are quick. Good e-chat thing too.

[storytime]I've just ordered my SRC freehub from them. 25% site wide and they seemed to be the only online shop having it listed. My local shops never answered my inquiries. Buy local they say. [/storytime]

it's too funny that their bricks and mortar shop is about 2km from my house. and their warehouse is about 300m away. it's often quicker and cheaper for me to order online and request a warehouse pickup. I only go to the bricks and mortar shop if I have to try something on. or I can't figure out how to fix something on my bike. in that case, their staff usually help me out on the spot (as in, took the bike they were working on off the stand and helped me out with my son's bike, on the spot). pretty sweet shop for sure.
