Paint Chip On Carbon Frame

Submitted by GlennT on Tue, 05/05/2015 - 8:10pm

Can anyone suggest how to repair a nasty chip on a carbon frame. The chip is deep enough that the carbon is showing through. No damage to the fibers. I have read about nail polish, Testors model paint...... anyone have experience with this.

Social Sunday 5/10/15 - Bronx/Greenwich/Armonk Triangle

Submitted by nymultisport on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 1:50pm

Marilyn and Ken are planning to ride ~45 miles, along the Hutch service roads to Greenwich, then through SUNY/Purchase and Bedford Rd (our vote for the most beautiful few miles in the area) to a soup/salad lunch in Armonk. We'll return along the Kensico Reservoir, then via Bronx River bike path. We'd enjoy sharing our easy, touring-paced day with a few friends. Please email if interested. 

 
 

Dr. recommendation for knee pain pls.

Submitted by Ernest on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 1:32pm

Hi fellow riders!

I'm starting to get a sharp pain on my right knee while cycling.

At one point I was thinking of quitting the Five Boro Bike Ride

at the halfway point; but used the time helping out stranded

riders(I was a volunteer marshal) as rest periods and was able to 

finish.

Can somebody recommend a sports doctor please? I used the 

search function; but got surgeons instead of doctors just for exams

and/or x-rays.

Thanks,

Ernest

Bike Rack Hire

Submitted by irab on Mon, 05/04/2015 - 9:32am

Does anyone have any experience renting a car bike rack?  I'm travling to Annecy with the family in July, and trying to work out the logistic of transporting the bike from the Geneva airport to our apartment in Annecy.  Would prefer not to rent a van, as I will only need to extra space for 2 trips to and from the airport.

Thanks!
