Tub O' Towels (cleaning wipes)
I highly recommend this: Tub O' Towels. It's a cleaning wipe product.
It's amazing for cleaning bike drivetrains, cleaning bike frame, cleaning bike grease off hands, not to mention various household cleaning. It's super convenient; I always carry some in a ziploc bag while riding. I've tried many things including e.g. Trisodium Phosphate; Tub O' Towels works way better.
I have nothing to do with the company. Just wanted to share something that works well for me.
It comes in a yellow & black cylinder.

It's not witty, it's not well drawn, but it is a (one-off) comic strip about you.

SIG Classification Ride
Hello,
Is there anywhere/anyway a SIG classification ride can be done on Staten Island? I can easily ride 18-20 miles on mixed-hill road here too.
Thanks.
Recommended material (aluminum / carbon / steel) for NYC riding?
Hi all,
I am looking to buy a new bike in advance of this summer's B SIG, as my current road bike does not meet SIG standards.
Which material do you recommend: aluminum, steel, or carbon? Should I be looking for an all-aluminum or all-steel bike? I am concerned about the durability of carbon while riding in and around NYC.
Also, I see some bikes use aluminum frames but carbon forks. Does having any carbon part on a bike automatically make it more fragile? Or are there specific parts where carbon is / is not recommended? For instance, I have heard that carbon tires would have poor durability for city riding? Also, if you have a steel or aluminum frame, does a carbon fork negate some of that durability?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Need help siging up for Sig. Registration link is not present. I am an active member
Please help.
