Guidance Please: 9 speed (Shimano) rear wheel w/ 9 speed cassette mounted on 10 speed (Shimano) bike?
Can it be done and ridden on a trainer without adjusting the derailer? Will the chain get thrown if shifting too far to either end of the spectrum?
Thanks.

Selle Anatomica saddles - - at $99.00 (50% off holiday sale)
http://store.selleanatomica.com/
These saddles are used by a lot of long distance and brevet riders. Great price ($99 in any color or finish); normally $150-199.
Compares favorably to Brooks (their cutout) models, and to RIVET Cycle Works.
Happy shopping.

Dutchess County Cycling Clubs
My father-in-law, aged 71, has spent the last few months cycling for exercise and has come to really enjoy it and now he wants to try some group rides. Does anybody know of a club in northern Dutchess, Rhinebeck/Red Hook/Tivoli area, that may be able to accomodate him. I've been out with him a few times and he can handle his bike well and would be a lower C paced rider.
Thanks.
Nike Missile site in orangburg
Is it possible to ride to this? Overheard some people discussing this as a route detour. Where does one veer off 9w to get to this?
Strong Recommendation for a Cycling Trip in England
For anyone interested in a cycling trip to England, or just looking for a cycling trip to a slightly less travelled area, I heartily recommend a trip my wife and I took this summer with the Cycling Camp of San Deigo (“CCSD”) to England’s Peaks District.
I'm Voting for Gerry Ross
I am casting my vote for Gerry Ross for President. Here’s why.
I have known both Neile and Gerry for many years. I’ve ridden at least a couple of dozen rides with each. I’ve also worked with both of them as ride leaders in the B SIG.
They are both are energetic, enthusiastic contributors to the club, and have been for many years.
I like both of them and consider both of them good friends.
Hincapie jersey sizing
I'm looking into buying one or two Hincapie jerseys, namely an AXIS long-sleeve lined jersey, and possibly an AXIS RX short-sleeve jersey.
I take a Large in the Champion brand jerseys, such as NYCC's jerseys, and it's pretty roomy. Can anyone comment on Hincapie sizing? I expect to order Large, but I understand that Hincapie jerseys may run tighter than Champion.
In other words, if I take a Large from Champion, should I order the same from Hincapie?
Friday C Ride in Central Park Cancelled for Tomorrow
On account of both the pre-marathon construction, which bars the Park Drive at the Tavern on the Green and the weather (rain, wind, leaves down, etc.), I am cancelling the ride for tomorrow.
Hope to see you Monday!

good bike shops in Summit/Chatham NJ?
A friend of mine is interested in buying a bike (probably tri) and doesnt know anything about cycling. So any advice on good shops that can give trustworthy fitting and equipment advice would be helpful. Thanks.
