I have changed a couple of them for my riding buddies because my hands are smaller and I can. That being said you are correct it is a bear to do, thanks for Fred Harmon’s video. Love the note idea I am going to steal that if you don’t mine. I have a 23 DCT with a Roadsmith trike, great set up other then air filter.

Carrying a spare set of springs for Rouski wheels is a great idea Ice. Wondering if you know where you got them and maybe part number if that’s not asking to much. Thanks

Wondering if anyone has first hand knowledge of trail conditions around Mont-Laurier and if the river crossing is ok.

I don’t post offen usually for help planning trips. I have been reading Quebec Rider forever and riding Quebec longer, since 1987 to be exact, and it’s hard to think of a trail or area I haven’t rode. This years final trip was to do the complete figure 8 of the Gaspe, which I have done many times. The weather was warm but overall conditions were good, a little snow starve around Carleton. For this trip my grandson, Hunter was able to go over college break with over crew, which at my age this was very special to me. My riding crew, Dennis, Chuck and Tommy all have known Hunter before and we had a great time. Chucks sled 900 turbo ski doo started acting up 30 miles before our stay at the Caribou hotel, but he was able to limp in with. So this is where the other special part of this trip gets me to post. At the Caribou we meet several Quebec rider members I have read over the years. First we met Linda sled girl and her husband Joel and have a visit and she sends a pic to our old friend Saguenay Bill who I haven’t seen now in a few years. Onto the restaurant after settling in and we met Iceman and NH Moose and Snohorse. These guys were very friendly and most helpful with our sled problem. Turns out to be exactly what NH moose though it might be, the sock filter in the fuel pump. Great visit with Ice and crew at dinner and breakfast then off to BRP dealer in Gaspe. Great service here folks, took Chucks sled right in and had the fuel tank off and pump out within 45 minutes replacing a nasty looking fuel sock and very dirty in line fuel filter as well. Probably got some bad fuel somewhere. Price was reasonable and the folks at EM ski doo Gaspe were top shelf. Then onto Murdochville for the night, but not before meeting Iceman and crew again on the trail, another meeting with them the next day on local 150 north of New Richmond. I have always had great responses to questions I have asked on Quebec rider in the past as I plan my next adventure, but I must say it was special finally meeting some of the folks that have helped me on the site in the past. Just when you think you have rode every trail along comes Icemans private trail the 150 which was perfect and that brings me and our crew to the end of another season. To all have a great summer and stay healthy and safe, Fred

Got it iceman, that’s what I was wondering, our group not running wheels. Thanks

Wondering how trail access to hotels in city of Gaspe is. Roadway Inn says about 1/4 mile from access trail I presume on side of the street, just how bad or good is it. Been on the Gaspe many times never gone into the city of Gaspe. Thanks in advance

Got it, thanks, Blueblood

Was wondering if Double Tree Hôtel north of Quebec City was still open with connect trail to it, don’t see it on iMotoneige.

Anyone know what else is open for lunch in Perce with Roland closing March 5, will be there Wednesday March 11.

Is trail 83 between Ste. Hedwidge and Relais 22 passable. I heard 20 miles or so was plowed and not good. Thanks

Wondering if anyone knows if Lepine Road south from Clova is open and groomed.

Looking to run from Clova to Pourvoire Martin, then to Obijwan then continue to Barrage Gouin on the north side of the reservoir. I have read that some of you have the GPS track for that trail and was hopeful you would share it with me. Thanks

Not having good luck with Duraflex silver cable ice scratchers, 4 different sleds, all having same problem tip end pulls out of cable end. Wondering what brand to try next?

Looking for any updates on condition of Dravereus trail from Rabaska to Clova, groomed, gas, etc.

What about distance if you were going south to New Richmond from Murdochville for nearest gas?

Thanks trailblazer, road was great from Gouin to Relais 22, fresh 8" of snow today 103km.

Has anyone rode the road from the dam at Gouin to Relais 22 in the past few days, and I believe it's about 60 miles. Wondering if there is any logging going on in the section with sand on road.

Has anyone rode 33 from Lac Repos through Manawan to 100 Lacs and onto Parent this year, looks ok on the latest trail conditions, but was looking for any hands on report. Thanks

Speaking of Casey, any of you guys know how trail conditions really are along the 83 Clova, Parent onto Relais 22 to LaTuque.

Want to buy Quebec trail maps for Garmin zumo 450 that I have on my motorcycle which I can move over to the sled in the winter. I understand you can buy the SD card with maps installed. Looking for any advice or suggestions where to purchase. Thanks

Enjoyed meeting everyone at the summer gathering, our hosts at the Long Lake Motel were great . Special thanks to Ken for use of the garage for the trike. Bill and JD took good care of us introducing us to all. Our chauffuer Ray was most gracious taking us everywhere. Looking forward to travel trip with you guys, and my new Choke jacket. Fred

Trailer 5 years old and I replace tires every year with 4 to 5,000 miles per year on tires, even using 10 ply. I know I have to replace axle.

Need to replace Tie Down Engineering 2200 lb axle on Worthington 2 place trailer. Been told to use a larger 2990 lb axle made by Dexter, old axle out of alignment cuffs inside of tires off. Anyone have any experience with this problem and what axle to use.

Does anyone know how the local trail is north of Pointe-a-la-Croix that runs to L Alverne and cuts the trangle off between Causapscal and Carlton. Is this a groomed trail, I have run 5 several times, but never the local.
