Who might carry Mavic Aksium bladed spokes in Manhattan?

Submitted by RSchoenbohm on Thu, 07/19/2018 - 2:53pm

Broke a spoke this morning and neither Sid's or Bicycle Habitat have any in stock. Those two are my go-to shops so I am now clueless. 298mm straight pull ('rear right'), bladed, and hopefully silver. Thanks in advance!

Bike lock?

I need to buy a new bike lock. Any recommendations?  Not sure what size? 4ft? 6ft?

thanks

You're not still riding slow, skinny tires, are you?

Submitted by RKaufman on Thu, 07/19/2018 - 11:15am

Still riding 23 or 25 mm tires? I switched to 42 mm Grand Bois Extra Leger on my main bike - a Boulder All Road 650B - a few years ago. Faster, smoother and decidedly more comfortable! Particularly on the roads typically found within 100 miles of here. Think about going wider if you haven't already:

Chrusty Guzzetta injured in bike crash

Submitted by GRoss on Thu, 07/19/2018 - 7:07am

Christy Guzzetta suffered a fall and was injured in a crash in Central Park. My understanding is that a pothole was responsible. He won't be able to ride for much of this summer. The good news is he apparently won't require surgery. 

Get Well Soon Christy!

Garmin has another GPS/computer option for people like us: the Edge 130

In short: light, relatively cheap, a little stripped down in functionality, but looks good for following the kind of rides we have in our ride library. Supposedly 15 hour battery life, a thing that matters a little more than you'd think (if the battery life is 8-10 hours and it comes up a little short on that, you'll find it drained before the end of some of our longer rides)

Not meant to be commercial, just helpful - nobody NEEDS one of these, but it is probably one of the more useful additions one can buy for doing frequent long rides.

ENY jersey sizing question

Submitted by Myles Lewis on Mon, 07/16/2018 - 9:51pm

I wear a L or XL in Primal (I don’t like a tight jersey). Does anyone know what would be the corresponding size with the 2018 ENY jersey?

Beacon to Coldspring

Submitted by ty111 on Sun, 07/15/2018 - 4:17pm

I was thinkingn of doing an art tour from Storm King to DIA Beacon and home from Cold Spring-ish.

Can anyone tell me if 9D from Beacon to CS is ok? It looks like no shoulder frown, but I've only ever gone to Cold Spring from Bear.

 

Thanks!
