Total long shot, but I think I dropped my fox combo 3mm/6mm tool at the top of lower expresso on Friday

If anyone finds it, please pm me Smile

Didn't realize they cost 75usd to replace Facepalm

How's the snow on the North Shore these days? I'm visiting from the Island Dec 18/19 and wondering if it's worth bringing my bike.

Conditions are currently great, but unfortunately snow in the forecast for the days you plan to be here. Keep an eye on the weather and webcams.

Thanks for the info - maybe hedge my bets and bring the bike and the skis!

Looking to pick up some tires for a trip to whistler/Squamish/pemberton. Coming from New England I normally ride assegai exo and dhr exo+. Should DD in that combo do the trick?
Thanks

Lots of people get away with EXO/EXO+ here, there's not a ton of crazy sharp rock. Personally I run DD on my trail bike, have managed to cut a couple rear tires in recent years just with bad luck both times landing on a somewhat pointy rock. If you are thinking about some bike park laps, definitely recommend DD.

Hey there!

I‘m looking forward to riding the north shore for the first time somewhen next year. Only problem; I won’t have a bike once I‘m actually in Vancouver nor transport to the spots or within the city. Does anybody know if it is somehow possible to rent a bike in close proximity to the trailheads? Or are there maybe some shuttle services from the city or even guided tours? It’d suck if I was in Vancouver and I didn’t get to ride the shore.

Thanks in Advance!!

I'd throw a DD in back. Whistler and Pemby have some sharper rocks, depending which trails you ride. EXO+ should be fine on the front.

I was planning a trip down to the coast to ride and was curious if any of the riding areas are more hardtail friendly than others?

Fromme and Seymour are both very hardtail friendly. Cypress is very rideable on an aggressive hardtail but would be less fun on a more xc oriented bike.

My nephew rides a 170mm meta HT... I have the same hardtail or a clash I haven't decided which one to bring

tempted to take my 160 Meta HT this summer....

I rode fromme on my gravel bike a couple years ago. bobsled was a lot of fun. floppy bunny was a bit hairy.

you could definitely do a lot of fromme on a hardtail.
