Re: Can I borrow your fork seal tools?

I believe Delta is suggesting using a plastic pop bottle to clean your seals. Cut the plastic bottle so that you have a hook and slip it under the seal lip like in this vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGno_lYGjJU I'm going to get the risk racing fork seal tool so that's covered. What I'm missi...

Even at lower elevations the trails were unfollowable, due to the snow covering them. Parked at the paved loop. Tried both directions from parking. Today w...

Any trails open yet?

I'm new to Calgary. Are there any trails open yet for the season around here? I'm looking to ride on a weekday if anyone else is up to it.

Club Nights (requires a membership) are a great way to see terrain, and meet people with similar skills.

See you out there.
Thanks!
