Hydraulic Disc brake issue
I was in an accident and had to replace a brake caliper. Ever since, I need to replace the hydraulic brake fluid on a regular basis, for which I go to a bike shop. I either need a bike shop that can figure out how to fix it once and for all, find a class to teach me how to deal with hydraulic disc brakes so that I might maintenance the problem, or sell the bike to a handier person than myself. A fourth option is to replace with mechanical disc brake set-up. Any suggestions?
Dumpling Ride to Uma's/Rockaway scheduled for 1/18/25 is canceled because of rain forecast
The weather gods strike again. Sorry to cancel. I'll relist it soon.
Sad News - - passing of member Alfredo Garcia
Alfredo passed away on Monday, and there's an open visitation in Manhattan this Sunday afternoon.
He was a member of both NYCC and 5BBC, participated in many bike related volunteer activities, and was a consumate gentleman and nice person - - a gentle and kind soul.
Many may recall him from (what used to be) NYCC's annual pre-Marathon Ride.
