Garmin Flakiness

Submitted by ty111 on Wed, 04/05/2017 - 3:08pm

I know, to be expected, but has anyone experienced erratic speed and heart rate ? (E.g. If the HR was accurate I would not be writing this.)

They're not always off, just intermittently. All I could think to do is swap out the batteries. Any other ideas?

 

It's an Edge 1000.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

 

2017 Specialized Roubaix

Anybody have experience with this? (2017 only, as it's quite changed from prior years).

Is the ride as smooth as they say?

Any downsides to the suspension in the front? When standing and going up a steep hill, does the suspension become a negative?

Sorry.  The weather.  Again.  Let's hope Thursday is better.

New Bike Help

Submitted by Punkture on Mon, 04/03/2017 - 4:12pm

Hi everyone,

Apologies in advance as I know that this question has probably been asked before. If so, perhaps someone can direct me to the previous post.

I am an amateur rider with a number of years of NYC commuting under my belt but only a few longer rides outside the city of 60 to 70 miles. My bike was recently stolen and I am looking for a replacement. I'm hoping I can get the club memebers to help as I don't really know much about bike brands and their particulars. I have some idea of what I'm looking for and my budget and hope I can impose on you all for some suggestions. I've done some research online but frankly feel a little overwhelmed.

A cautionary red light tale

As the temperature gets warmer and more bicyclists venture out on the road after a long hibernation, this will signal the annual NYPD ticket blitz will soon to follow.  Seems NYPD can/will use Vision Zero policy on bicyclists as well.

My Garmin died this weekend.  Thinking of picking up the Wahoo Elemnt to replace it.

Anyone using it?  It seems like a nice product.

Submitted by PHofherr on Fri, 03/31/2017 - 10:31pm

Hi All,

Even though it might stop raining by our start time, it will be chilly, windy and damp and the road conditions might not be ideal for riding.Therefore we are postponing our C SIG rides to Sunday.

You should be starting at the same time and location as Saturday, but make sure you check for an email from your group leader confirming this. If you don't receive one, contact your group leader.

It will be on the chilly side on Sunday morning, so dress accordingly.

Enjoy your Saturday and we'll see you on Sunday!

Your C SIG team.
