Recommended Campy shop in northern NJ?

Submitted by JFeinberg on Wed, 04/08/2015 - 5:14pm

I moved from the east side to Montclair NJ earlier this year, and I'm looking for a good local shop that's familiar with 11-speed Campy.

I had been bringing my bike to Conrads, and I was certainly happy with their work.  Unfortunately it will take me more than a half a day to get there and back from Montclair, so I won't be able to keep using Conrads.

Can anyone recommend a shop in northern NJ that's would know new Campy stuff well?

Thanks,

John F

Journal News April 8 piece indicates Rockland end will probably be near Exit 10 & Route 9W.  It doesn't indicate exactly where the exit will lead to.  9W is a fairly busy highway around there and biking it south towards Piermont can be harrowing.  The road is narrow and autos are moving along fairly rapidly.  In any event it looks like it will be ready in 3 years (2018).  I hope I am stil alive, biking and living around here then!

Bike tires and Rockland County roads

Submitted by mgeller1 on Tue, 04/07/2015 - 12:53pm

My Local bike store tells me my rear tire is pretty worn and should be replaced. It's only been 1,000 miles and it's a good brand, so I'm left thinking it's the roads of Rockland. Anyone else have similar experience. I replaced the last pair at 4,000 miles. I'm kind of surprised to hear I need to do this again.  Are the roads that bad?
