Submitted by Steve Vaccaro on Wed, 04/19/2023 - 4:37pm

A good friend Matt Rogers is the producer of Enter the Slipstream, a documentary film about bike racing in the post-doping era, and asked me to let NYCC members know about upcoming director's screenings.

small hands using Dia-Compe 287 "V" Aero for Linear brakes

Submitted by HBorgeson on Mon, 04/17/2023 - 9:40pm

Any tips for making Dia-Compe 287 brakes easier for use with small hands? I'm right-handed but having a hard time with the right brake. The left one is somehow easier. 

I saw a previous thread recommended a Terry video that no longer appears on the page, unfortunately. (OK, the thread was 12 years ago.)

Ride Provence France 9/3-9/8

Submitted by [email protected] on Sun, 04/16/2023 - 10:09am

OutCycling (another group I ride with) has organized a bike trip to Provence France with a tour company called Ciclismo Classico. They're a high-end cycling company. Great hotels, gourmet meals, guides, support van, etc. I've done three trips with Ciclismo. All excellent.

Here's a link to the ride:

Right now there are 9 riders. They're aiming for 12. The cost goes down to $4490 if there are 12.  There's a single supplement of $775. Or you share a room. Here's how the prices break down.
