Your climbing skins represent a major investment in your alpine touring equipment. To maintain their effectiveness and grip, proper management of the glue and fibers is essential. Here are the steps to follow for each situation. During the outing: Warmth and protection The performance of the glue depends on temperature and cleanliness. Thermal storage: Between climbs, slip your skins inside your jacket (against your base layer). Your body heat keeps the adhesive flexible, making reapplication much easier in cold weather. The folding method: Fold your skins back on themselves, glue to glue, or use the protective netting provided with your purchase. This prevents the sticky surface from coming into contact with snow, pine needles, or dust. After use: Air dry Residual moisture can damage the adhesive and create mold on mohair or nylon fibers. Room temperature: Hang your hides in a dry room as soon as you get home. Avoid heat sources: Keep them away from radiators, fireplaces, or direct sunlight. Excessive heat hardens the glue and renders it unusable. Once dry, store them in their carrying bag. Summer storage: Extended rest Summer storage is the most critical stage. Glue that remains stuck to itself for six months under high...

The arrival of summer signals the return of great bike rides! But before hitting the roads and trails, it's essential to check the condition of your bike. A quick inspection can prevent unpleasant surprises and ensure your safety. Here are 5 crucial points to examine before your first summer ride. 1. Tires: Check the pressure and general condition Tire pressure - Check the recommended pressure : It is usually indicated on the sidewall of the tire. - Use a pressure gauge : Don't rely solely on the "thumb test" - Adjust according to the terrain : Road (high pressure) vs trail (lower pressure) - Recharge if necessary : Tires naturally lose air over time The condition of the tires - Inspect the sides Look for cracks or tears - Check the tread : Make sure it is not too worn. - Check the valves : They must be tight and in good condition - Replace if doubtful Prevention is better than cure. 2. Brakes: Safety first V-brakes - Check the wear on the brake pads : They must have enough rubber left. - Test the cable tension : The brakes should respond immediately - Adjust if necessary : Cables may loosen over time - Clean the rims : Remove grease and dirt Disc brakes...
Choosing a hockey stick might seem simple at first glance, but it's actually a complex decision that directly influences your performance on the ice. Among the many criteria to consider, blade curve is often overlooked by beginner players, but it is a crucial element for optimizing your game. Understanding Blade Curves: The Basics What is a blade curve? Blade curve refers to the deformation of the lower part of the stick that comes into contact with the puck. This characteristic determines not only how you control the puck, but also your ability to make accurate shots and effective passes. Different types of curves Straight Curve - Ideal for beginners - Offers maximum puck control - Facilitates passing and receiving - Recommended for players still learning the fundamentals Slight Curve - Perfect for intermediate players - Balance between control and power - Allows for more powerful shots while maintaining accuracy - Versatile for all positions Mid Curve - Preferred by forwards - Optimizes shot power - Requires more technique for control - Ideal for experienced players Deep Curve - Reserved for advanced players - Maximizes shot power - Demands excellent technique - Can compromise passing accuracy Factors to consider when choosing...
The Highway Safety Code requires cyclists who ride electric bicycles to wear a bicycle helmet. * Warning! Some municipalities, like Sherbrooke, require helmets for people under 18 years old.

A well-maintained drivetrain is key to a successful ride. Beyond improved noise reduction, proper lubrication reduces friction, facilitates gear changes, and extends the life of your components. Here's how to navigate the options to keep your bike in excellent condition. Choose the right lubricant for your environment The choice of product depends on the weather conditions encountered during your journeys. Dry condition lubricant: Often composed of wax or Teflon, it is designed not to attract dust and sand. It keeps the chain clean, but requires more frequent application. Wet lubricant: More viscous and water-resistant, it stays in place despite rain or mud. It effectively protects against corrosion, but requires more thorough chain cleaning as it accumulates more dirt. Ceramic options: For those seeking enhanced performance, these formulas create a protective coating that minimizes premature wear of the links. The method for a professional application Applying oil requires a certain degree of precision to avoid unnecessary fouling of your bicycle. Surface preparation: Clean your chain with an effective degreaser. A residue-free surface allows the new lubricant to penetrate deep into the rollers. Targeted application: Place a drop on each link while turning the pedals. Focus on the inner part of the...
Owning a Specialized Turbo electric bike means having access to cutting-edge technology that adapts to your riding style. Thanks to the Specialized app, your phone becomes the control center for your bike, allowing you to modify the motor's behavior with surgical precision. 1. The initial connection To get started, download the app and create your profile. The connection is made via Bluetooth. Once the bike is paired, you'll have access to a comprehensive dashboard displaying battery status, mileage, and system diagnostics. Registering your bike through the app also enables over-the-air updates so your motor always benefits from the latest performance improvements. 2. The Art of Tuning: Support and Peak Power This is where the magic happens. For each assistance mode ( Eco, Trail, Turbo ), you can adjust two fundamental parameters: The Support (Assistance) setting: This slider determines the level of assistance the motor provides relative to your own pedaling effort. A lower support level promotes greater range and physical exercise. Peak Power: This setting limits the raw power the motor can deliver. Reducing peak power in Eco mode, for example, helps to significantly conserve battery power on long, flat journeys on the South Shore. 3. Advanced adjustments for natural...
As the ski season draws to a close and warmer months approach, proper storage of your alpine ski equipment is essential to ensure its safety and longevity. Here are some tips to help you efficiently store your skis, boots, and clothing: Clean and dry your equipment: Before storing your skis, be sure to clean off any dirt, grime, or salt residue accumulated on the slopes. Use a damp cloth to thoroughly wipe down your skis and boots. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent rust and mold growth during storage. Inspect the damage: Take the time to inspect your skis and boots for any signs of damage or wear. Look for cracks, dents, or loose bindings that might need repair before storage. Addressing any issues now will prevent further damage during storage and ensure your equipment is ready for next season. Protect your skis: To avoid damaging the edges and bases of your skis, consider applying a layer of wax before storing them. This will help maintain the integrity of the ski surface and prevent rust from forming on the edges. Store in a cool, dry place: Choose a storage location that is dry, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Avoid storing your equipment...
By : Sarah-Émilie Boivin I decided to share with you in more detail my adventure of the Bromont Ultra 2022. I believe it is a great lesson in humility but above all in perseverance. So, race day, October 8, 2022, 8:00 AM, is the start of my 120km Ultra (3 loops of 40km), with 4500m of elevation gain on the menu. Based on my 80km time last year and my training times, I think I can finish before 10:00 PM (so 14 hours of cycling). I've estimated an average speed of 9-10km/h plus the time spent at aid stations. I was really undecided a few minutes before the start: coat or no coat? I opted for no coat when I noticed that most people were only wearing long-sleeved shirts. That would be a big mistake. Jessee, who would be starting her BU55 a little later, cheered me on at the start; I was so glad to see her. The start was slow, and that's normal. It was cold... it was snowing! At kilometer 20, my bike's gears were really bad. I called Patrice in a panic; he came to meet me at the aid station at kilometer 30. I realized...
By : Jessee Chouinard In my field of vision, there's the starting line and Mount Albert gradually coming into view. I have no idea what time I'll be back; I just want to succeed. The sun hasn't even risen yet, and it's already hot. 5:00 a.m. The departure is announced. The first steps are taken silently. We each experience intense emotions in our own way. Morning activities are always a little difficult for me, and I'm searching for a rhythm that will allow me to enjoy myself throughout the day. I feel a little dizzy, but I know it's only temporary. In a few hours, my body will finally understand what I'm doing, and everything will be fine. In perfect synchronicity with the sunrise, I reach the summit of Mount Olivine. The sky is clear, allowing me to see everything on the horizon. I am absolutely captivated by the beauty of the landscape! The doubts I've been carrying until this moment vanish as I take my steps up the summit: regardless of how the race unfolds, I must appreciate the grandeur of the "Impenetrable Barrier." I feel like I arrived quickly at the first aid station, the one at La...
