NYC Wheel builder

Submitted by jgus on Tue, 01/15/2013 - 9:07am

I'm looking for recommendation for a good, affordable wheel builder. What are peoples thoughts?

Also, I found older messages announcing wheel builder classes/workshops. This interests me greatly; does anyone know if something like this is likely to take place this year?

B16 Morning laps in Central Park ride is cancelled

Submitted by GRoss on Tue, 01/15/2013 - 12:32am

I am officially cancelling tomorrow morning's "Morning Laps in Central Park" ride because of the weather forecast and for personal reasons (I am tired from a long hard weekend -- working Saturday and strenuous ride Sunday).

A general question: Is it necessary to post a message about a ride here or is just seending an e-mail to folks who cared enough to sign up suffice?

I was surprised to see the acreage completely barren.  Obviously, not closed for winter (they never were), but for good.  Anyone have info?

Help With Shoe Shopping

Submitted by JWehmeyer on Mon, 01/14/2013 - 4:40pm

After fifteen+ years on my trusty hybrid with toe cages, I'm buying a mid-level road bike and switching to the (oddly named but I get it) 'clipless' tech. Looking for any steerage on a source and/or brand for shoes. My feet are a bit weird: wider at the toe end, with narrow heels. So shopping for street and athletic shoes has always been hit or miss. Have spent some horrible days in non-fitting ski boots/skates.

Online or brick-and-mortar, all suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance!
