Hi guys - just paid my NYCC membership a couple of weeks ago, looking forward to riding with you!

Trail question - if coming from the city (UES), what is the easiest/quickest/safest way to get to Yonkers/the Croton trail? I want to take my wife along....

Thanks,

question: how to repair a hole in chromoly steel frame?

Submitted by chfong on Sun, 10/16/2016 - 10:01pm

Hi,

   I have a Kona Honky Inc road 2010 road steel Chromoly bike. It had some fenders mounts that was welded on to the rear seatstays. Unfortunately the bike fell sideways with some panniers loads and the (right side) fender mount that was welded became detached and literally tear off a wall on the seat stay tubing. I guess the weld joint is stronger than the tubing itself.. 

Do you know anyone in NYC area or Upstate NY ( near Poughkeepsie NY ) that does Chromoly steel tubing repair? How much would it be? What are my options? 

It's a Kona Honky Inc 2010 road bike with drop-bar, disc brakes and 700c-28 wheels. 

Thanks ,

CHF

 

 

 

Bike Fit

Submitted by ty111 on Sun, 10/16/2016 - 7:59pm

Does anyone have a fitter who's good with arthritic old ladies?  I got fit at Signature for one bike, back when Signature was in NYC. My second bike was built with those specs, but it doesn't feel quite right.  City recommendations would be preferable because I am loathe to go up to Greenwich unless it's absolutely the best option.

 

 

Club member Ravi Kavari is the impressario behind an epic 750 mile jaunt from Mumbai to Coorg from Jan 26-Feb 8, 2017.

He wants to promote sports-inclusive education in India....which means sports infrastructure for underprivileged kids so that every kid in India has adequate facilities and the opportunity to pursue a future in sports.

The ride fee itself is a bargain. Ravi intends to generate enough interest and publicity to do substantial fundraising online.
