Is a bicycle ride listed solely via this message board--listed by a nycc member, and open only to nycc members--covered by the same insurance as Rides/Events listings?

Did anyone do the Cycle Adirondacks ride last August, or thinking of doing it this year?  Seven days, not too far away, they will provide transportation to Ticonderoga start.  Check it out and I'd be interested if anyone else is considering this.

Hs anyone used Chelsea Bike Shop on West 26th for a serious frame repair and can reccommend or pan it?

I submitted a C ride for tomorrow (Saturday), awaiting approval before it'll show up on the ride listing.

Unless I'm missing it, there is no "sign up" button on the page describing next months meeting.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a pair of Terravail Galena's (designed for tubeless) on my A23s, and really having a diffcult time with seating the bead the first time, even with gas station compressor and a good bit of  very sudsy soapy water lubricating the bead. I've got two passes of Velotape (pressed down well w plastic tire layers, getting all air bubbles out, etc) and Velocity valvestems w the delrin washers installed. I have had the wheel laying horizontally on the ground, as I've read is one of two ways to get it set. Can't seem to get that bead to pop for anything.

Anyone tried this.. found it on Cycling Weekly..

Dear all,

  The safety pins for the bib number on a recent event I did rusted (clearly not stainless steel!) and left tiny pin-sized rust stains on three of my light colored jerseys. They have been through the wash-- but not the dryer.

  I googled how to get rid of rust stains, and the consensus seems to be acid, but application of a 1% and then 5% acetic acid solutions did nothing.

Does anyone have suggestions for getting rid of them? (The stains, not the jersys.) I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance,

-Erica
