Review: Stinner Romero MT - A US-Made Steel Trail Bike That's Better With Mixed Wheels
Love the look, hate the price. That pretty much applies to any bike these days. Hard to buy a bad bike, even harder to find a good price. I still miss my Turner Sultan...that was a good bike at a terrible price so some things never change.

Opinion: Handlebar Width is the Most Overlooked Element of Mountain Bike Fit
I have some 660mm carbon bars for sale in the buy/sell if anyone wants to be the contrarian this is the way. You need shorter bars!
I think in my area for trail riding that bars are way to wide. If I was riding lift assisted them maybe the little extra leverage fro wider bars would be useful.

Old beater 6 speed
$30 CADThis old beater just won't die. Pedals well and stops poorly. Highlights are the kickstand and mud guards. Not for winning ribbons at the Canada day parade but to get you around the block and not get stolen when you run into the store
6 speeds to get you up any Ottawa hill but not likely Penguin in the gats....brakes are functional but work poorly. Forget stopping in the rain, you want to get home fast anyways. Shift ok, pedals ok just need fewer beaters in the shed.

WTB scraper i45 27.5+ rims (pair), 32 hole
$25 CADThese are off a 2016 bad habit. Cracked the frame and so parted out the bike.
They sat as back up back up wheels before recently unbuilding the wheelset. Generally good condition a few scrapes. $50 for the pair.
These are WIDE at 45mm, 32 hole. Just a bit too wide for me to use on the regular 27.5 bikes I have in the stable.

UPDATE: VHS Founder Alleges Corporate "Sabotage" in RideWrap & Dyedbro Dispute
If the packaging isn't shaped like an old VHS tape box I don't see the problem. The products are as different as any tire tread on the market.
What I need to know is are they ebike compatible?

When I use an eBartender I can drink a little bit faster but get the same buzz as a regular bartender.

Cannondale to Shut Down Factory Race Program After 2026 Season
Love it or hate it, at least the old Cdale had a soul. Fanboy myself, sad to see the accountants at head office beating the will out of the design team.

Kavenz Launches Lugged Carbon VHP X Frame
I want to love it, but actually hate it. Maybe if it was 32" wheels... Kidding... Don't know what it is I usually like the expensive quirky stuff.
