Changing the cassette and the chain

Submitted by pffddspc on Sun, 11/13/2016 - 7:28pm

I just changed the chain and and did a 65mi. 3400ft. ride.  It still slips in the lowest gear.  I guess it needs a new cassette.  Can I use the chain that I just rode 65mi. with when I change the cassette?

Can anyone tell me how this transates to Prospect Park laps?

In terms of speed, you should be able to complete 4 laps around Central Park in 2 hours or less. (Our fastest B18 riders will be in at 85 minutes or less.) 

Thanks

I certainly want to thank the officers who are leaving the board at the end of this year. . .and welcome those who are joining for the first time.  I will – soon.   But. . . . right now I want to acknowledge the election the Club had Tuesday, 11/8 for our Escape New York Director for 2017.  

Bicyclist NYC marathon volunteer job

Submitted by Myles Lewis on Tue, 11/08/2016 - 9:21pm

Does anyone know how to apply to become one of those bicyclists who ride behind the top runners in the marathon? They all seem to have a headset on to communicate any issues to a command center. Seems like it would be a cool gig. 

"Why can't I find decent bikes for my kids?" revisited

Submitted by EMarks on Tue, 11/08/2016 - 2:12pm

Frog Bikes, seen at the Philly Bike Expo, answers the question with lightweight frames in a range of sizes (and colors!), decent components, and low Q factor. To me they're the revelation of this year's expo, aside from Stephen Bilenky's insane creations. Almost makes me wish I had a little kid again! Almost.
