I've got my eye on a bike with a SRAM Force gruppo, but have heard that SRAM equipment breaks down quite often (i.e. is in for repairs more than comparable the Shimano equipment). 

Any thoughts/advice/recommendations?

My left knee makes a distinct crackling noise when I straighten it. I don't notice it when riding, partly because there is too much other noise, but also because my leg doesn't quite straighten to the point when the noise starts. I don't feel anything.

Should I be worried?

Are there excercises to deal with this?

Should I see a someone about this? (recomendations?)

Thanks!

Due to various factors tomorrow's ride is cancelled.  Please join me another time.

Three participants for tomorrow's Harriman Hike have caught a bug. With five cars, we've spots for SIG members whose Sunday bike rides have been canceled. If you want to join, don't belong to the SIG, but have Stabilicers or Microspikes, etc. and a hiking pole or two, email/call Ken <9PM.

Am I mistaken by remebering that the membership dues for 2012 were "raised" to $ 30.00 but will now allow for a couple to register for this one price ???   .. I have been regestering for a "single " for many years , however, if the above policy is correct, can I  include my wife to the new membership? . when I visited the" renew now" link I did not see an option to include a second person . Even the paper format did not have this option.. Perhaps I'm mistaken in my above assumption !!! ???

Ciao.

Game off.

21 degrees tonight, so this snow won't be melting by tomorrow morning.

Will re-schedule on a milder day.

sunday's lunar new year dim sum ride is cancelled :-(

have a great year of the dragon to all.

we'll do a dim sum ride when it's warmer.

This summer I have entered the Etape du Tour.  My current bike is just an entry level road bike, so I am looking to buy a better bike that will cope with the hills and be a step up for me generally.  I have had a look around but there are so many options out there that i'm not really sure where to start.  Can anyone offer any advise on what I should be looking for / considering when i make my purchase?

Thanks

Alex

Both the B15 and B17 rides are canceled due to snow/ice.  So sorry.  We hope to see you at the Feb. 14 club meeting to answer any questions you might have or on March 3 when the B SIG starts.
