Escape From New York
Seeing as though the cost of the ENY event is the same regardless of which ride you register for, can anyone idicate if you're allowed to register for one ride distance and then decide to ride a different distance at a later date? Any and all informaion would be appreciated.
Jennifer Rudin & Andrew Finkelstein
According to the NY Times, they were married yesterday. I am sure all our members joining me in congratulating them and wishing them good luck. They met in 2010 at a club event.
Think it possible to win a World Cup bike race without a chain?

Recommendations wanted: Mavic hub service
Greetings,
My 2008-vintage Mavic rear hub has suddenly started making horrendous howling noises and noticably dragging on fast descents, scaring me out of several years growth.
Having spent some time on a couple of youtube channels and blogs, some of them very good, I have decided that I am NOT UP FOR diagnosing and fixing whatever is wrong.
Does anybody have experience with this sort of thing; better yet, a recommendation for a Manhattan-based (Harlem, UES, UWS ...) shop that'll fix what's fixable, replace what should be replaced, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
Berkshire Weekend
Belated thanks to Christy Guzzetta for putting the club spirit back in the Memorial Day weekend--great job!
Tubeless tires - check your valve!
I've been riding on tubeless tires for well over 5 years now. Recently I've been having a problem in which they've been losing half pressure just sitting overnight. I tried buying a new tire, but when I installed that it wouldn't even hold pressure for more than a half hour. I had a brand-new tubeless valve, so I figured I'd try that. Voila! The new tire is holding pressure, and I haven't even put any sealant inside yet. FWIW I'm trying out a new Schalbe Pro One. I had been using IRC Formula Pro tires. I'm certainly glad I held on to them, since they're probably just fine.

Seeking an old Bike wheel
Does anybody know where I might be able to pick up a used cheap front wheel for my old Three speed. The size is 26 x 3/8.
