bike case recommendations?

Submitted by PChin-Hong on Thu, 01/06/2011 - 10:51pm

I'm finally looking to invest in a good bike case, and was wondering if folks had any good recommendations, thoughts, or advice. I'm intrigued by the Sci'Con Atlas, but I can't seem to find any reviews of it anywhere.

Anyone have a good recommendation? Thanks!

Anyone in the UWS interested in helping me change my rear wheel on my bike?

Submitted by Avi Flax on Wed, 01/05/2011 - 8:32pm

Hi everyone, I've got a Bianchi Axis cyclocross bike and I've had a bunch of trouble with the stock rear wheel, it's gotten bent at least 3–4 times in the past few years, mostly while commuting in the city. At the advice of some co-workers, I bought a stronger rear wheel. Now I just need to put it on the bike, but I'm not very mechanically inclined and I don't have the right tools. I was just thinking, rather than buy these tools once and have them molder in my storage unit, why not see if anyone in my neighborhood has them already and might be able to give me a hand.

So if you're in the UWS, and have the tools required to swap a cassette, and maybe a few minutes to give me some guidance while I try to get this done, that'd be pretty awesome.

Sold: Kreitler Challenger Rollers 4.5 in Drums, includes Headwind Fan.

Picked these great rollers up at the beginning of the winter and have been using them to train a bit. Recieved a trainer as a gift and prefer the ability to stand so I'm looking for these to find a good home.

The entire set is in great condition, with only about 200 miles put on them  (properly maintained sets will last 10 years or more). Drums spin forever and are in flawless working order. Fan is great and really ramps up the resistance (a little on the loud side though - about as loud as a vacuum cleaner).

If you're going bonkers inside like I am, these are a great way to improve your spin and get ready for spring. And at 520 for brand-new ones, it's a great deal.
