Based on the postings in Marketplace forum, I guess the regular cycling season is sadly winding down...

hydraulic Disc Brakes

I'm fixing to buy a new bike for the first time in 10 years. One of the biggest changes is that disc brakes are nearly universal on most new bikes. Setting aside the obvious advantages, I've personally performed about 95% of my bicycle setup/maintenance on my various bikes (including rim replacement, wheel building, bottom bracket installation, etc.) so I went to the Shimano website to look at some manuals to see what I'm in for. The consumer manual for the Ultregra hydraulic disc brake had absolutely new information about installation. The "dealer" manual explained a lengthy, sophisticated process that looks like a version of setting up miniature motorcycle brakes--more complex than the rest of the bike components combined (assuming mechanical shifting is used).

Hi, NYCC is a fantastic organization. Are there any equivalent clubs in other sports, like trail running, or others? Or is it truely one of a kind?

Thank you for any leads!

With the change in weather and lower pedestrian traffic, please keep speeds on the GWB on the moderate side when crossing.

A rider was down on Saturday around noon time on the NJ side between the two fenced in areas. Don't know what caused the crash but the injured person was bleeding from his head and sitting up when the EMTs arrived with numerous other first responders.
