Does anyone notice shifting problems when using Di2 on smart (wheel on) trainer. My shifting is a mess and I don't know if it's a simple adjustment.

Does anyone know of anypne who services these things? You can't exactly ride into your local shop. What a PITA.

Thanks

A scary u-turn on River Road in Guttenberg, NJ.

I would like to buy a bike to use in Chile (retirement in the off season, Nov. - March?  where it will be summer).  I want to buy only one bike.  In a perfect world, it could do road, cyclocross, gravel and tris.  Yes, I know...a fantasy, but…  If I bought a disc brake cyclocross, with 33mm tires, could I drop down to 28mm for the road, and up to…37+ for gravel?  For tris, I would just slap on some aerobars temporarily.  Yes, it would never be perfect for any one discipline, but everything in life is a compromise, and dragging my NY bikes back and forth is a hassle and not cheap.  Any suggestions, brands, models?

I just got a notification from Westchester County Parks.  The South County Trail will be closed today and tomorrow from 7am to 8pm and next week Tuesday to Friday from 7am – 3:30pm. The closer will be between Farragut Ave and Lawrence Street.

Anybody else here remember NYCC member Doug Blackburn (Jody and Christie)? 

When Doug described having a beer in the shower after a ride in 1985 I thought he was a genius.  Turns out he was 35 years ahead of his time.

5 of us were on mountain bikes, riding from Graham Hills to Tarrytown Lakes on Sunday. We turned off 117 and took the Trailways south. I found myself out front; no one gave instructions, yet everyone snuggled up into a paceline. After I took my pull, I fell back to end, Sylvain was now out front and we were flying, moving faster than any of us expected. All but one of us had gone up through the ranks of NYCC A riders. I remarked to Gabe, the one who had not, in front of me, that this was an example of NYCC culture.

I have used 23 mm tires on my road bike forever.  Since the current trend is wider road tires and lower pressures, how wide is the widest tire I can use on my old rims.  Mavic Aksium Kysirium.  How wide can I go on the tire, without upgrading the rim?  25, 26, 28???  I know there are limits because of fork width, brake width, but this is a rim/tire compatibility question.  Can u go too wide???  What happens if u do?  It rolls off the rim and causes a crash?  I have no idea.

Has ayone tried riding River Road of late?

Near-certain forecast of rain.

New September 5 ride should appear in the listings soon.
