I have not, but my very frugal neighbour has numerous times, and I will when I need new tires, which could be this spring

My neighbour says they… I assume the owner…will accept Cash…..if you know what I mean


suggest you shop around and compare…. Don’t buy from the first place you go.
I called them this afternoon and I can confirm that they offered a very competitive price. No cash deal though. They push Chinese tires but their brand name stuff is still much cheaper than the dealers. Nice fellas working the desk, seem pretty committed to making a deal which is rare these days. I find you have to chase sales people around now

A man who knows his stuff!!!

Van Der Poel or Van Aert ?
Van Aert of course
Hate MVDP for various reasons and I know Im in minority but for me you can't bully children, spit on spectators , push Degenkolb at Roubaix etc
You would never see those things from VanAert, Pogi, Vingegardd, Alaphilippe, Roglic, Bernal, etc
Super strong rider don't get me wrong but a solid POS

You bike a lot?

Ended up finding a baller set of Continental's in Kemptville. Half the price of a new set of Chinese tires on rims for half the price. Love Marketplace sometimes
Good to hear. I have been using a nice set of Michelin that someone had in their condo locker for a couple of years for $300 - they were like new.

Conti's are German! Long live ze Germans!

They fired me when I was 18 and I didn't have a pot to piss in so I can't bring myself to do that
Wow no way.

Look, if I was in your position and had to chance to drive that customer's Lambo I would have too at your age!

I've done salt water gargles but they're just temporary. God I hope this is just a one off thing this year :(

It's more the kind of thing you have to do repeatedly. Work it into your routine so to speak. Me, I use a salt-water or mineral-water nasal spray every morning, both preventive and for acute cases

Anyone here a parts guy? Picking up a new car tomorrow but I am shopping for some winter tire deals. For a GTI

Try Avenue Tire on L Avenue - you can call or go in. Not a fancy place but good folks.

They do a lot of taxi fleet stuff as well and sometimes they do a batch buy at a great price. I got my winter's from them a couple of years ago at a price nobody could touch - it was at the end of the summer though so before the season really kicked in. Worth checking.

Without taking sides.... I have to give 5 stars to Bell for their outer space light speed vs cable speed internet commercial. Effective use of humor to knock the competition.

I know we have a few watch people on these boards based on some past GDT discussions.

Was fortunate enough to pick up a Tonda PF Micro Rotor this weekend. Parmigiani Fleurier is a cool independent watchmaker backed by some big time pharma money and their new design language is really something.

Hoping to make one other purchase this year. Likely a JLC Reverso.
