Ultegra Hood design ST-6500 vs ST-6600

Submitted by Rmarcus on Mon, 06/15/2015 - 7:45pm

Are the 9 speed ST6500 shifter hoods the same or very close to the 10 speed ST-6600?

I am thinking of just swapping the right shifter to bring the set-up to 10 speed.

Yes I know the 6600 shifters are pretty cheap online, but I have a line on just the right shifter at a bargain.

 

Thanks

Submitted by sshockett on Mon, 06/15/2015 - 11:08am

Wondering who's available for mon/wedn later a.m. river road runs? I'd like to get a regular crew together. Starting from NJ side of the bridge at 7:30 or 8. May alternate mon and wedn.

I've listed one for this wednesday: http://nycc.org/node/75486

Speed is set at 20 but could be faster on the flats, depending on the group.

Strava app trouble

Submitted by DHudes on Fri, 06/12/2015 - 6:32pm

I'm interested in hearing from anyone else who is having trouble, especially intermittent trouble, getting rides recorded with the Strava app on one's smartphone to sync to Strava's server. Support denies this is a widespread problem but they have a FAQ for it on their support page (logout then login; sounds reasonable until you realize you can't login again for days).

 

Bikes on LIRR?

Submitted by scottkobetis on Fri, 06/12/2015 - 5:59pm

I'm doing the Long Island Tour De Cure tomorrow and planning to take the LIRR back to the city from Southold. The LIRR website says bikes are limited to only 8 per train and there's only 1 train back from Southold that afteroon. Any idea what I should expect? Is the 8 bike limit strongly enforced?

Bicycle Sunday: late listing B/18 for Sunday 6/14

Submitted by DHudes on Fri, 06/12/2015 - 3:18pm

Just added a B-18 ride for this Sunday. Cue sheet still in development for exact details will be available late Saturday night to registered riders of http://nycc.org/node/7550

The ride is built around using the Bicycle Sunday closure of Bronx River Parkway both northbound and southbound. I rode this last Sunday and it was fun. After the Parkway we'll hook around through Mt. Kisco and then on to New Rochelle and then back to Manhattan. Note that I currently plan to attempt to use the High Bridge to get to The Bronx.  We'll return via the Broadway Bridge.

Please do not come on this ride if you're looking to get home at 1PM.
