Y’know, I rode safely but aggressively in downtown Toronto traffic every day for 20 years and people thought I was nuts. I watch videos like the one above and it scares the begeezus out of me. Go figure…..

It’s always nice to see a LeMond considering how and who was responsible for Trek dropping the brand. America’s greatest cyclist.

The rear ports are commonly used by many manufacturers to stuff the IEC cable into from the factory.

Your first reply is the best reply. Solve the issue by finding the cause which likely means a checkup at a qualified tech. It will be cheaper than a set of pickups or a decent power bar especially when neither of those are likely to solve your problem. There aren’t a lot of bad pickups around...

It’s real. Just a result of Music Tribe’s ever present aim at lowering production costs.

I’m not sure I would have behaved any differently than he did. Being told by an audience member with a tall drink in his hand that digital pedals are unreliable is a great help when your digital pedal is fried mid set and considering that the vast majority of pedal based rigs used by the vast...

If you live in a settlement larger than a hamlet there will be somebody able to replace your zipper properly. Look first at dry cleaners but many people work from their homes as well.

Their warranty applies only to the original owner with proof of purchase from an authorized seller. I would start with the nut and see where that gets you.

The term hero is bandied about a lot but this guy ran a 26 mile marathon every day for 143 days for a total of 3339 miles. On a prosthetic leg. There is nothing comparable and there never will be. Terry Fox will live forever due to his incredible athletic feat but really because of his...

I’m not too familiar with Ampeg cabs but that serial number looks like it’s a sticker slapped over whatever was printed on the jack plate.

Everything I ship is charged using dimensional weight. It’s not a scam. It’s about volume not weight as mentioned earlier. If we’re going to continue to shop from the comfort of our couches which we are at levels that increase every year we have to expect that costs of labour, trucks, planes...
