Hi,

Does anyone have a 110 mm bcd chainring, just sitting around collecting dust? I need one to see if it will fix a shifting issue I have, but I don't need a good one or a new one, so if anyone has an old one around, please get in touch. I will pick it up from you, and I'll pay you some rapidly deflating American dollars for it.

Regards,
Jim

I posted this link to 5BBC message board as well and am planning some permanent routes.
This is the link to read what a permanent is: http://www.rusa.org/perminfo.html

This is one of the ways I plan to train over the winter. If anyone wants to help me plan some routes and/or
ride any, let me know. I will post scouts on NYCC as well. :)

This past Sunday, (12/19) I found a set of keys (2 kings on two rings attached to each other) on 9W going south toward the bridge just past the Alpine Police Station entrance. Thought I would pick them up and see if I could get them back to their owner...

I responded to RRosenthal's post but it doesn't seem to be nesting/threading properly.

Also, why are the comments fields still white text on blue background.

Both should be easy fixes, no?

Happy holidays.

Working on a project and I am looking
for VERY several pairsof inexpensive NEW Shimano SH51 SPD cleats.
These are the single release Black cleats.

If you have gotten pairs with your shoes and do not use them, you would be a big help.

Thanks

Happy Holidays

This past Saturday on the Social Climber's season finale, "Xmas in Richmond Town", we had three GPS units come up with three climbing totals 3600', 3300' and 2000'.

Then tonight, I was watching PBS' Nova "Hunting the Hidden Dimension" and realized that makers of GPS-altimeter's face the same challenge trying to come up with an algorithm to determine total climbing ... as cartographers do when trying to measure the total distance of a curving shoreline.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/physics/hunting-hidden-dimension.html

The section comes at 15 minutes.

The operative question is; How fine to measure? Because, inherently, the device that measures most "accurately" (most closely follow the terrain's contours) will always show the greatest amount of climbing.
