New York's preeminent bike mechanic (don't ask me who) was able to make only a partial, and therefore not completely useable repair. CJ, at Strictly (Ft. Lee) fixed the problem. (It's not one you've ever had.) He fixed it completely. The bike can be ridden again just as the two wheeled gods intended. He fixed it in :30. That's thirty seconds. Maybe it's just that he had a tool I didn't have and master NYC mechanic didn't think to use.

First, wrap the tops only. Then, a full wrap from the ends up so there’s a double layer on the tops. But where to start, just above or just below the brake levers?

Left my prescription cycling goggles on the Rockaway Ferry (grrr!), and no luck with their Lost & Found. So - would appreciate any advice re an optical shop that has some experience/expertise in making prescription cycling glasses. Thanks.

If I have a certain gear combination, say 42-11, will a crank rotation with a 700c wheel take me farther than a (smaller) 26" wheel? At the same time, does it take more energy to turn the crank one rotation for the larger wheel? Put another way, is a larger wheel effectively a higher gear, smaller wheel, lower gear?

Hi,

Is there a good bikefitting your recommend in NYC? Thank you.

I'm too short for a stock bike.  Who's best?  I can travel...
