And they roll fast. The brand\u2019s M-Pulse uses magnetic pawls to give the G3 super-fast 1.25-degree engagment without sacreficing rolling speed. P321 also created its new 6-Lock universal rotor mount, which works with centerlock or 6-bolt rotors so that these hubs can move from bike to bike with you. After <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingmagazine.ca\/mtb\/review-project-321-g3-hubs\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a year on the G3s<\/a>, we\u2019re confident these will last though multiple bikes, too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pinner-x-Post-.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-132037\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Pinner-x-Post-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\"  \/><\/a>Pinner Machine Shop\u2019s X-Post<br \/>\nPinner Machine Shop \u2013 X-Post<\/p>\n<p>Is it hard to shop for your mechanically inclined friend that already has every tool, in duplicate? Pemberton\u2019s Pinner Machine Shop has got you covered. Machined right in-house in Pemberton, Pinner doesn\u2019t have a huge range of tools, but they\u2019re all nice. Machined, functionally-sized metal brake bleed cups? Yup. A dummy seat post for working on frames, while preserving fancy paint jobs and weird tube shapes, with the seat out? Yup, they\u2019re the only ones that make that. And the X-post is coming back, in black. Fork socket tools? Those too. And a couple other even more niche bits to complete any work bench.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Fox-Race-Face-Crankworx-10.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-126966\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Fox-Race-Face-Crankworx-10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/><\/a>Reform Saddles Tantalus<br \/>\nReform Saddles \u2013 Tantalus<\/p>\n<p>The first and, still, only re-moldable custom saddle is also made in Vancouver. Reform Saddles offers two options, the full-carbon fiber Seymour and the ti\/carbon Tantalus. Both can be custom molded, as many times as you need, right at home. It\u2019s a wild technology that is trusted by a growing roster of pro riders. It could be the key to perfecting your bike fit, or just being more comfortable further into your next ride.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nsbillet-talon-crank-launch-nomad-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-87894\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/nsbillet-talon-crank-launch-nomad-3.jpg\" alt=\"North Shore Billet Talon Cranks\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\"  \/><\/a>north Shore Billet\u2019s Talon Cranks<br \/>\nNorth Shore Billet \u2013 Talon Cranks<\/p>\n<p>Started on Vancouver\u2019s North Shore, but now located in Whistler, NSB makes a surprisingly wide range of very nice machined parts. From a better USD hangar to chainrings and idler pulleys to very nice stems and pedals to, now, even a crank\/BB combo, likely has a part to fit. The Talon crankset is still one of the few aftermarket upgrade options for many eMTB drive units. Whether you\u2019re replacing wear items or just looking to add bling, NSB has it, and in a few colours, and all made in Whistler.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vorsprung-Telum-.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-132034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vorsprung-Telum-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1800\" height=\"999\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Vorsprung \u2013 Telum<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to take your ride to the next level, a bespoke Telum shock from Whistler\u2019s Vorsprung Suspension could be the ticket. A good portion of the shock is actually made in-house in Whistler. Each shock is always individually tuned to you, your bike, and your preferences by the crew at Vorsprung. True personalization, backed by science and the suspension shop\u2019s years of experience.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all for our Made-in-Canada gift guide.
