Ride for Newcomers June 12th

Submitted by Jmr11377 on Sat, 06/04/2011 - 1:49pm

Hello,

My name is Jeniffer. I was just wondering if we are required to sign up somewhere in order to join the ride for the newcomers on Sunday, June 12th, or do we just show up.  Any information would be appreciated. I look forward to riding!

Thank you,

Jeniffer

...Because I know some of you, including buds, don't read the NYT, it falls to me to keep you informed. Sometimes.

Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR Impossible to Mount

Submitted by dvisoky on Sat, 06/04/2011 - 6:46am

Part II  - Well I received my 2010 Mavic Cosmic Carbone SLR Wheels and my mechanic and I had a horrible time mounting the clincher tires.  We had to use tire irons and both had to work to mount them.  If I ever had a flat I would have to actually cut the tires off the bike.  The Rims appear to be too big for a standard 700cc tire.  I heard that Zipp Wheels might have the same problem

I went online and someone mentioned to use Zipp Red Rim tape (rather than standard Mavic Tape which might be too thick) which is very thin and to use a Mavic Tire Iron when mounting - flat head.  I also heard to about using Wire Bead Tires

(No longer need these services, but would appreciate talking with people who know Bedford NY well, and have taken pics of bad roads out there. Please email me or respond if you or anyone you know is interested.)
