Wrapping the tops of the handlebars.

Submitted by EMarks on Mon, 08/29/2022 - 4:08pm

First, wrap the tops only. Then, a full wrap from the ends up so there’s a double layer on the tops. But where to start, just above or just below the brake levers?

Submitted by John Dutt on Fri, 08/26/2022 - 9:20pm

Left my prescription cycling goggles on the Rockaway Ferry (grrr!), and no luck with their Lost & Found. So - would appreciate any advice re an optical shop that has some experience/expertise in making prescription cycling glasses. Thanks.

Wheel size, distance & effort

Submitted by isaacb on Thu, 08/25/2022 - 2:42pm

If I have a certain gear combination, say 42-11, will a crank rotation with a 700c wheel take me farther than a (smaller) 26" wheel? At the same time, does it take more energy to turn the crank one rotation for the larger wheel? Put another way, is a larger wheel effectively a higher gear, smaller wheel, lower gear?

Bike box borrow

Submitted by thebigpa on Thu, 08/18/2022 - 9:31pm

Hi fellow NYCCers,

I'm headed to Colorado in a week to take place in the Pablove Across America event, 400 miles with 30k ft of climbing to raise money for paediatric cancer research and quality of life initiatives for the children.

I am hoping to travel with my bike but do not own a bike box.  If I promise to look after it and return promptly, anyone prepared to lend me one?  Would Bick up next Thursday and drop back 9/4.

Thanks in advance.

Paul.
