Huh. That’s a pretty interesting solution. Is there any issues with putting screws through deck boards into joists with the membrane in place? I assume the compression of the deck boards on the...

That’s exactly what I did on the current (now rotted to shit) wood deck. I’ll probably do the same with the composite, I’m just hoping a little less water comes through.

Anyone have experience with T&G composite decking, Timber Tech or similar?

How watertight is it once installed? I’m just thinking about what I’ll need to do for gutters, soffits etc if we want...

That’s helpful, thanks. Since the bigger cog is more in the nice-to-have category than the I’m-dying-on-climbs I’ll probably stick with the 42. I suppose if I was desperate for lower gearing the...

Just the clearance on the jockey wheel, or is there additional load on the der that needs to be considered?

The internet tells me it will “probably” work, but wondering how I can figure that out...

My drivetrain is due for replacement, and I’m thinking of replacing the current 10-42 cassette with a 10-46 Sunrace.

Chain and chainring will be replaced at the same time, is there anything else...

This is more of an Ask the JONGs question, but I don’t see that thread so...

I just bent the shit out of a few teeth on my cassette and blew up my derailleur, so I figure it’s a reasonable time to...

The new bars were are connected to a new (to me) bike...

Still tweaking set up a bit, but initial impression is that my wrists feel almost turned out in the new cockpit. I’m thinking even a slight...

Talk to me about bar backsweep. I got some new wide bars with 8 degrees sweep and I’m finding the outside of my hands are hurting after slightly longer rides.

Seems like some more sweep would...

Perfect, my specialty.

TLDR life story:

Live on the North Shore, decided last year I need an annoyingly expensive non-snow hobby, bought an old (2006?) Stumpjumper, rode a lot, crashed a lot, determined mtb is actually...

I’m sure I’ll still find a way to eat shit on any bike, but that’s good to know too. I’ll take the advice and avoid sinking any money into the current bike, and let my wife know I have an expensive...

Yeah, how in the fuck have I been living in North Van this long and NOT gotten into this previously???

Also being an old fuck, I do note that crashes hurt a little more than snow. Going over the...

Knuckledragger, so it will go beside my Cummins flowertop, but point taken...

So what specific bikes and years am I looking for under $2k (cdn), I guess more of an enduro, mostly riding Vancouver...

2006 maybe? Not actually sure. I’m assuming 1x12 set up won’t work with a 26er, wasn’t sure about 11.

Looking for a couple cost effective upgrades until I can make the jump to a more modern...

New to mtb, but now totally hooked. I have an old Stumpjumper I want to to convert to 1x11 (or 12 I guess. ) I found a cheap Shimano m8100 groupset, can I just directly swap out the old cassette and...

Can you explain that a bit further? Like, better to get skier compaction going as soon as possible?

I agree, with similar talent skiers will always be faster and go bigger than riders in my experience. I haven’t skied in twenty five years, but I think being able to easily square up to fall line...

Minor thread drift, but how to other sales guys handle personal / company performance on resumes and in interviews?

I would definitely like to attach some numbers to my revenue and margin wins,...

If "impactful" is actually a word it shouldn't fucking be because it sounds stupid as shit.

Did all alpine lifts crack today?

Not sure where you're located, but also be careful of any biodiesel content in the diesel you pump. It likely wouldn't be sold at elevation, but if you fuel in warmer areas and travel into cold temps...

Goddam, Philly - Pit is living up to the billing.

No rage from Pens fans yet?!? I don't have a horse in that race, but the blown offside call is as blatant a fuckup as I've seen in a while...Philly doesn't score that, it's a pretty different game.

An aggressive skiing style.

If you can find some on sale, I'm a fan of these:

Dress up and down pretty well and comfortable. They would be fine for your day-to-day,...

I was pretty impressed by Canada's game, and happy to see the attacking style they're playing these days - a nice change from the usual grind-it-out forward play. A lot of dynamic attacking through...

Sometimes the inflatable exercise ball in my living room rolls in front of the cable box, requiring me to get off the couch to move it before resuming channel surfing.

Talk to the chief if you know him, but make sure you are confident that you have the full story from your kid, and that no important details have been glossed over, such as "I was stoned", "she was...

Kids these days :nonono2:

I blame Xbox et al for the general lameness of this mailbox tampering. Kids just have no motivation and creativity any more.

In my day, mailbox violation involved a...

Sadly, I'm not exactly stumbling over extra $22K stacks of cash these days, and if I was a whole bunch of gear and heli / cat trips would take priority.

It was more along the lines of I will...

This is actually a good strategy. When she starts snooping through your email and internet history for clues about your husky latin lover she’ll find this thread proclaiming your indignant innocence....

BC mags, somebody please buy this thing. It’s been sitting there taunting me for months. Low km,...

See, the cool thing about being a snowboarding dad of a two year old is that there is a pretty good model to follow for the next 1.5 decades right here on TGR. BCRider's annual kids TRs have it all...

198 mph?!? What were you driving?

Yeah, wtf is up with this? After playing rugby against various nationalities for over a decade I came to the conclusion that Islanders' ability to absorb and shrug off pain is second to none.

I guess there's nothing saying that you actually have to be drunk, but what's the fun in that?

Isn't there a gravel parking lot across the road from Nita that's pretty much empty in the summer? I seem to remember being told I could park there overnight for free.

Or just grind whoever is on...

Most cubicle farms have a First Aid room somewhere, likely with a bed, an "occupied" sign, and an oxygen tank. Not that I would condone such egregious misuse of safety equipment - be sure to update...

Since you're car-less, probably SJ; I assume there would be more transportation options there, and the city is cool in it's own right. You could even hop over to Viaques.

Personally, I liked...

PR. Pretty sure you still don't need a passport, and JetBlue goes direct to both San Juan and Ponce, last I checked anyways.

That’s pretty random. Born-again I guess…

Rippey was awesome back in the day. Progression is a crazy thing, it’s amazing how small the airs look in the TB4 clip, and how flailing and grab-less the...

Any reason you can't do it by phone? Obviously in-person is preferred, but making sure he gets enough notice spuercedes that in this case, I would think.

Call him, tell him you'd rather do it in...

Totally agree; in fact I said it a few pages back. Vancouver came close, but pissed it away. I’m not saying they would have won had Luongo actually played 7 games instead of 3 – some key personnel...

Kind of, yeah. Boston's performance has been consistent, and consistently improving throughout the round, and Vancouver has basically iced two completely different teams performance-wise. To me,...

Jesus Effing Christ. I give up. I though the Canucks actually came out pretty well early, even after the first goal. As soon as the second went in they just deflated. After Game 4, I thought "well,...

Thank God, now I can finally stretch my legs. It was getting crowded there for a while.

And, as for the players, you know what they say about haters....


...they're a bunch of jealous assholes...

I don't think you directed that at me, but I'll bite: I wouldn't compare the two, but I think Chara's was dirtier. I think Chara deliberately helped Pacioretty into the stantion. Yes, I realize that...

Definitely a late hit, and definitely a suspension following the head shot criteria this year. The outcome was undeniably shitty, and I’d rather seen Van win with Horton in the lineup than out. That...

Biting is pretty weak, but it's no worse or more unsportsmanlike imo than all the other cheapshots throughout every single game. Is a bite to a gloved hand really any worse than a slash to the back...
