Thanks for watching until the end! I’m worried people will drop off by the time that rolls around. 😂

Hey man, thanks for subscribing. Appreciate it. Canmore has a ton of great trails in the area. I would suggest starting with the Nordic Centre - lots of trails that cater to a wide range of skill level.

Oh shoot. I totally misread your comment. I thought you asked about great trails, but you asked about rentals. Sorry. But actually, I’m not sure what rental options are available there. Since we had our own bikes with us, I’ve never actually researched it. Your best bet could be to ask on the Canmore subreddit.

Hmmm, I think it would work? If you did that you would have to mount the garage bracket higher. That would mean loading your bikes would be a bit more awkward.

@ Thanks for answering my questions. If you were going to buy again, would you still go with the 7?

@ A couple years ago we bought the 4 bike rack as well. We found that we were rarely traveling with more than 4 bikes so I wanted a smaller one. Still have the 7 which mostly just hangs in the garage and stores some of our bikes. So it is nice to have the 4 and 7 in the garage to keeps our bikes organized. Also, for our Whistler trip next summer we will likely be traveling with 6 bikes so it will be good to still have the 7. You know what they say, why buy only 1 when you can have 2 for twice the price. 😂

On the east side of the river the singletrack doesn’t continue to the bridge. The farthest you can get to is a trail called Corkscrew. There is shared paved path you can take up Central Avenue and then onto McCormand to get to the bridge. I would suggest checking out the Trailforks app. All of the Saskatoon singletrack is mapped in there.

Thanks! It’s close - about 50km south of Saskatoon.

🤙🏾

LOL. The first time I told her she should come ride some of the trails around the city, she laughed at me. And when I suggested the family should start biking, her thought was that we’d ride bikes to go get ice cream. Next thing you know she’s spending $5k on a bike and booking all of our bike trips. 😂

Ya, this year the boys really took things to the next level. Pretty cool to see. And coincidentally, the next video is going to be about Michele getting out of her comfort zone on some blue tech.

Awesome! Glad you’re able to enjoy them together, and thanks for watching! Comments like this make me happy. 😁

I think it is RV rated, but I would reach out to VelociRAX directly. They are pretty helpful. I didn’t do any research on how well they work mounted to a camper since it wasn’t my use case. Hopefully it works out for you. I’d love to know what you find out.

Awesome! Glad I could help. You’ll definitely be happy with your purchase.

Ya, not everyone is sending it like you see in most videos! 😂 I’m sure my boys will be very soon, but I’m just happy to get down unscathed.

Yes, without bikes it isn’t any higher than the cab. It won’t fit if I have bikes on it though.

Sorry, I totally didn’t see this comment, so here’s a late reply which is probably irrelevant to you now. Looks like I have the 412 - not sure if there was a 4X and not sure why I said that. I just confirmed that my order was for a 412. That being said, I haven’t had any issues with the hikes contacting each other. Curious if you ended up going with this rack as well?

@@AitchYXE Thanks for replying. I did reach out to Velocirax to ask about it anyway and they said they never had a 4X. (I wish they did.) I haven't ordered anything yet, but I am looking at the 412 particularly, because we have 4 riders in the family, so while I was hoping for 15' between bikes, 12" should be okay, since two are adult bikes and 2 are children bikes, and I'll probably just stagger them adult/child/adult/child.

Awesome! Glad I could help, and thanks for checking out the channel.

Thanks for watching and the subscribe! Appreciate it. I rarely put it in camp mode. But can see us using that feature more this summer since we plan to do some actual camping 😂. But if you do have it in camp mode the tailgate could be lowered all the way without issue (I’m pretty sure - I don’t think there is anything that would impede it). On my FX4 it was so close to being able to fully open without the extender. I could have just let it rest on the lowered rack, but I didn’t want to put extra weight into it. The extender worked well. With the Tremor it has a wider tailgate at the top so even with the extender it still contacts the rack, but so little that I’m not worried about it.

Hey @kevinhandy2490 did you end up going with the VR? I also have a RTT set up and am struggling with finding a good solution other then spending near $2k on a full swing away. Also from YEG, Cheers!

@@mikeyfiveoh6285 after a long time and a LOT of research I ended up going with a swing away tray, and I'm very, very happy with it. You're right though - basically 2k. Kuat Piston Pro + Pivot, and I'd do it again! Good luck

This was the first pair of Oakley sunglasses that I’ve owned in a very ling time so I can’t help you compare. Hopefully you got the real deal.

I really like them. I have worn those ones out and replaced them with another set. All 3 of my mountain bikes have OneUp grips. They’re cheap enough to try out. If you end up not liking them it wouldn’t be a big hit to the wallet.

They are ok in lower light. I’ve worn them during twilight and I’ve still been able to see well enough in the low light and the cover of trees. I usually forget that I have them on. But to be fair, I rarely ride in low light situations.

Thanks, dude! Appreciate you watching.

Thanks! I did feel really like this video as well. Adding another POV camera definitely adds to the dynamics. Makes for tougher editing, though. 😀

Oh good question. I don’t ever remember that being described in the description or other reviews I read. I don’t think they are.

@@AitchYXE yes you can change them, just like the Flak XLJ

@@davesmith4804 Oh, cool. Thanks for the details!

Thanks!

Definitely can’t beat the Canadian outdoors! Thanks for watching!

They will be similar on both the NBR and Spoke n Sport side. You’ll find there are more roots/rock and tech stuff at Blackstrap.

Ya, it’s a long ride for sure.

Lol! I’m going to kicking horse next week. Looking at room rates. Any suggestions?

@@Gretsch0997 We actually did an AirBnB on the resort. It was condo a little bit up the hill. It was pretty good. Had a nice deck with a hot tub, and was quite modern.

Perfect ! Thanks

I’ve never actually had a problem with rattle when tightening by hand. It’s solid. The only movement is with the bike bouncing a bit because of their suspension. But that can be remedied by using elastics to hold the brake levers engaged. I’ve started doing that and the bounce is pretty much eliminated. Thanks for watching and reaching out!

@@AitchYXE yeah straps in the brakes make a huge difference.

Thanks. We do see some pretty gnarly stuff, but I have a pretty good sense of what they can and can’t ride. There have been times they will want to ride something that I’m not sure they’re ready for, but I usually I leave it up to them since they also have a good sense of what they can ride. Many of those times they back out last minute and I get super relieved. But sometimes they also surprise me and ride it just fine.

I have driven through lots of rain with the rack and I haven’t seen any issue with the dampers. I haven’t noticed any rust or corrosion, but I haven’t really got in for a detailed look. I don’t use it in the winter so it isn’t exposed to salt. I’m not sure if backing out of your driveway will be an issue. Probably depends on how low your hitch is in relation to your bumper. Is it below your bumper, or does it come out from inside the bumper (I’ve seen some SUV hitches like that). I would suggest reaching out to VelociRAX and asking about clearance for your specific vehicle. They could likely give you a better answer than me on that one. But overall, loving the rack. I actually just got another one - the 4X. We typically only cart around 4 bikes and it is much easier to take on and off compared to the 7. Having both hanging on our garage wall really cleans up the fleet of bikes we have 😂

Ya, they progressed so much during that trip. I guess 9 days of lift access park laps goes a long way.

Awesome! Have fun!

Totally. I understand they’re still relatively young and interests come and go. I think the fact that we do this as a family activity and build our vacations around it (and snowboarding) does help keep them excited about it. Thanks for watching and reaching out.

Ya, I wondered about when I was looking at the map recently.

Awesome! Fernie is great. Enjoy your time!

Totally. There a some pretty gnarly sections.

LOL. Agreed. I think I have only a year or two left before I’m being left behind. Thanks for watching. Appreciate it!

For sure! Maybe our paths will cross some time and we can go for a rip!

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words, and thanks for watching.

Exactly! I’ve been trying to build that attitude in my children. Being young they often get obsessed with the trail rating, especially my youngest. My oldest seems to get it now. I think they view it as assessing how “good” they are. Like you said, doesn’t matter how good you are - are you having fun? I’d rather be terrible and have tons of fun as opposed to be an expert but complain about everything.

Ya, they’re decent riders already. They ride everything I ride now (not that I’m very good or anything 😂). There are times that they ride down sections that I was questioning whether I would have if I was alone. But since they ride it I feel I need to as well. LOL. No coaching for them yet. We’ve basically just been riding a lot over the last 3 years. Thanks for watching, by the way. I appreciate it. Consider subscribing, as well 🙂

@@AitchYXE gotta love that no fear aspect that we had as kids. I'm in my late 40's and just starting out. My 9 year old has already made me look bad on a few occasions. 😂 Sub'd for sure. 😊

I hear ya. I’m turning 48 next week and they’ve pretty much surpassed me in snowboarding ability and I predict only a year or two with biking.

I believe they typically open in mid to late June.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! Glad that it was useful. I never did a follow up review. I have been happy with them and they have held up well over the last 3 seasons. I plan to use them this season as well since I don’t see a need to replace them yet. They’ve been comfortable and I have no complaints.

Perfect. I just ordered a pair on sale. Green though, which I've never seen before.

Awesome! I hope they work out for you!

I think we have found our groove now and are able to get it on and off without much of a problem. The reason we put it in the camping position when taking it off is because to hang it on the wall you have to get it into that position. Doing that after it is off the truck would be tricky. It’s a minor thing and I would definitely recommend going with the VelociRAX for your rack.

Ya, it was a super good trip.
