I need a seal kit for the Epicon? forks on my son's Reaper, amazingly hard to find. Hopefully they will get maintenance stuff on there soon.

After breaking my collarbone this year I'm finding it tricky to lift bikes onto the roof racks. So I'm looking for a vertical rack. My work colleague just got a Revert 6 and I really like the look of it, plus I've used Thule racks for 20 years and know the build quality (and residual value they keep). I can't get to see a North Shore rack in person before buying so that puts me off a bit but the major issue is the prongs holding the bike by the fork crown. That is an absolute NO from me. I see the comments in this very thread about refreshing the rubber sleeves it's fine for years blah blah blah, but why not secure it by the wheel? My Thule Upride does the same, and I've done 000's of kms with bikes in there. My Saris Superclamp 2 does the same, again solid as a rock, what's wrong with gripping it by the tyre? Holding it by the fork will categorically cause wear, I can't see how anyone can deny it would. Holding it by a tyre, likely never in exactly the same spot, on a soft thing that you will replace won't cause any wear of if it does won't matter. I guess the only possibility is if you have a slow puncture the strap may lose tightness but the basket is huge so I doubt it would be able to go anywhere without visibly wobbling around first. I dunno, I'd love to buy Canadian and support them, but it just feels like they haven't moved with the times and when the price is similar, I'm gonna go for a Revert.

So many doozies to choose from this week. 21 and 33 for the commentary, especially 33. 35 for the looney toons style departure 43 for fiddling with your Garmin 44 for sitting on the already crashed dude 50 for the attempt to get back on and complete lack of sympathy from his buddy

I'm so glad there was the alternative view of this, it was so hectic and he held onto it, it was hard to figure out what was happening!

Any information on a distributor in Canada?

It may have helped a recent crash where I broke my collarbone. I'd happily pay $700 to completely avoid or at least significantly reduce the effects of that crash. Missed all summer riding including an epic trip, going through physio now should be back on the bike this weekend.
