Blood, Sweat and Beers - Salmo, BC
Stopped in Salmo BC. Rode a couple of trails. This one is a blue trail. Camped up an FSR. Nice area. Cut a dead tree for firewood.

French Haig Robertson Traverse - More Whiteout Skiing
Переглядів 532Рік тому
Another one from Spring 2019. Took a bit of a gamble on this one with the weather, and lost out for the most part. Would be great on a sunny day.

The Bell Couloir - Sleeping in Pays Off!
Переглядів 787Рік тому
Another one from Spring 2019 that never saw UA-cam - Mt Bell with Heather and D'Arcy. Thankfully, it was the one day we slept in because otherwise we probably would have turned around due to low visibility. Overall a nice tour. The approach is a bit long, but the aspect generally holds good snow, and the couloir (if you can call it that), is nice and wide to accommodate a few groups, or one gro...
Total Whiteout on Niblock

Andrew and I finally got around to trying out Fat Bikes, and oh man did we have some fun. After a warm up on EKG, Odysee, and No Homers, we built up enough confidence to make the poor choice of trying Reclaimer.

    What's the reason for the different instructions for titanal skis? Is this for any ski with metal layers? Thinking of putting these in some Nordica Enforcers which are notoriously heavy with metal, and I was hoping I could just follow the default instructions 😬

    • @WilltoRide
      @WilltoRide 5 місяців тому

      The outside diameter of a binding screw is 5mm and inside diameter is 4mm. Drilling at 3.5 when there is no metal (possibly cf too) layer is ok because the material is compressible and you get a good tight fit. When there is a non compressible layer in the ski, the hole has to be drilled to the size of the screw od. Always use the size recommended on the ski if it’s available.

      1 tube should be enough for two skins. I layed it on too thick in the video.

    • @johns3106
      @johns3106 7 місяців тому

      I’ve reglued 2 pairs of skins with one tube of glue. I put down 3 very thin layers on each skin (don’t want it too thick and gloppy). I feel like the amount he puts on in the video is A LOT! The skins I’ve redone this way stick much better than they did with the factory glue job and are not at all messy or hard to pull apart.

      I only weigh 160lbs, so power wise they were both sufficient for me. The Hayes have better modulation/control and a much nicer lever throw. The smoothness of the lever pull reduces grip/arm fatigue. Ive never experienced brake fade with the Hayes either. They are very consistent too

    good job! I just repacked all the bearings on my (new to me) 2012 Giant trance. I left them all in place without removal as in your example. 1 tip to make the cleanup / repack faster: douse it in degreaser (i also used wd40), then gave it a really good spin using a socket and drill, with the socket pressed against the inner race, then spray again to flush out the crud, then blast it with compressed air. this removes far more dirt, saving you time and uses less wd40. - 2 cycles of this and all crunchiness was eliminated. All my bearings were really tight tolerances, no detectble play so I felt very comfortable re-using them.
