Is there a bikereg type page for Canadian races? I'm living in the Rochester area now and the Niagara region in Canada is a lot closer than New England now, Rochester has some decent racing but it looks like there's only one weekend in all of Sept for local racing and I realized bikereg doesn't cover Ontario. So, is there a scene there and how do I find the races? Thanks.
Anyone have any experience with either of these sets of wheels that could give a could estimate to how well they would compare to each other?
The Lightbicycle seems to use the same rim profile as the 46.5mm deep rims I put on my daughter's road/cross bike and I have to say that even with side winds off the ocean she never had stability issues even as a 13yo, so I have to believe some of their aero claims are reasonable. I do know that they update their designs from time to time and these are a newer aero profile. Down side, they're clincher and would have to use a 25c tire but at 120psi with a latex tube and no need for a rim strip I doubt there's too much issue there.
The Alpina look like they're an older, dependable design which probably explains why they're the only other name brand in the 2,000.00 range. Upside is that they use tubulars and I've glued enough of them to know what I'm doing even if they cost a bit more and for tires and finding glue around me hasn't been the easiest at times.
Thoughts?
As the title says, I need a good source for replacement porch posts.
Our side porch needs to be completely replaced, and all evidence seems to indicate that at one time there was a, now missing, back porch. I'd guess that when new it wrapped around and I plan to build them together. Problem is, I need matching, or similar porch posts for the back. All I can find are about 3 modernish styles that all look similar and nothing like what I have. Worst case, I build them but I'd really rather not go through doing that.
Earlier this year I ended up with an older, white bmw x1, not really a true ecto car, but my kid wants to make it one. It looks like there's too many options to choose from without knowing who's got a decent, fairly complete, set of decals. Would also be interested in material that could be cut to create the red stripes, and maybe material that could be put on the roof rack cross bar to turn it into a light bar.
I'm needing to get 4 new tires for mine and my daughter's road/cross bikes. I'm running Vittoria Corsa 25c on Velocity Aileron with 19mm internal width, while she's running Michelin Pro 4 25c on lightbicycle rims with a 21.5mm internal width. Going with the wider is better route, how much wider is better till it isn't? Go to time we're looking at is the Challenge Criterium, we use it on both our track bikes, which comes in a 27, 28, 30 and 32mm sizes. Not really looking at 32mm since the other sizes are available at several sites for 50.00 each and I have a limited budget. Which size would you go with? How much does rim internal width effect this choice?
Coin showed safe and looks great. Thanks

Trying to sort and organize the foreign coins that seem to pop up from time to time. Not certain when, where or how I acquired it. My guess is that its Chinese but I've got nothing more than that but I'd like the flip to say a bit more. Thanks for any help.
Moved up here from LI and I can't seem to find information on if there's any local public ranges. Where we were there was an open archery range in a local park run by the county and an indoor range owned by the county which made it easy to just show up every few months and enjoy shooting. I don't do either often enough to make join any place and having annual dues or membership meetings worth the effort, just enough to stay proficient with both.
The wife is pushing for us to get a small camper to go camping with. Since her mini can't tow and the miata would be worse, that leaves the X1. A cursory search says that it can tow 2600lbs but I'm looking for what I will need to do so that the car won't have bigger issues down the line.
Mine is a 2015 X1 with the 2l turbo and xdrive awd.
Do I need to worry about a transmission cooler or is there already one there that's good enough?
Will I need a bigger engine oil cooler since the turbo will be working more and I'm sure getting hotter, what oil should I be putting in there?
Is the AWD system robust enough, any upgrades I'll need to do?
I know BMW offered a towing kit, will the class 3 hitch from Uhaul be sufficient quality?
Thanks for your time.
