Clownbike Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Hi guysI'm going to Canada next week for 2 weeks and i was just wondering if any of you guys knew any Canadian forums (i found one, but i isn't great).Also looking for some Canadian trials shops in Vancouver.CheersNeilPS i'm taking my bike .....£40....not so good Edited August 13, 2007 by Clownbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 The only two shops I found are http://www.hbtrials.com/menu_en.html in Quebec, and http://www.thetrialsinshop.com/ in British Columbia. I dont think either of them are "walk in" shops though. More just mail order places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Quinn Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 £40 to take your bike? I just took mine apart and put it in a large suitcase type thing that was inside the weight and size restrictions and no questions were asked, i went from London-Halifax-Montreal-London so thats 3 flights with no troubles or expense.

I just took mine apart and put it in a large suitcase type thing that was inside the weight and size restrictions and no questions were asked, i went from London-Halifax-Montreal-London so thats 3 flights with no troubles or expense.Hmmmm.....see i was thinking about that too, but i was worried about not having enough "weight" to carry over to compensate for my clothes (hope that makes sense). It's a mod so i may have enough to roon in a suitcase. I think my limit is 20Kg, and i guess i could give some stuff to my Dad......Anyone else done this?Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocktrials Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 well i'd just pay the £40, it aint much for 2 weeks in a whole different place.plus, if theres any damages, do the airline cover it? where as being in a suitcase, and they get lobbed about, a dented frame or summit broken? can you claim that way?

I double checked on the website too! The reson i thought it would cost £40 was because it stated £40 for a differnt airline!Woop i'm happy. I'll try and bring some other bike bits back too EDIT: Also they do not cover any damage, but i do have travel insurance Edited August 14, 2007 by Clownbike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're just weeling the bike on though at least make sure to disconnect your brakes as it will be doing a few barspins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
