Will my Wahoo GPS bike computer work in Europe?

Submitted by David Regen on Thu, 07/07/2022 - 8:30am

I am fortunate enough to be going on a tour with Trek Travel this summer to Yorkshire and I was wondering if my Wahoo will work in the UK. back in the days when I had a Garmin, I had to buy a chip that contained most of the roads in Europe. Wahoo doesn't seem to mention it either way on their website. Anyone know the answer?

 

Sizing for NYCC Store

Submitted by Burtonkd on Tue, 07/05/2022 - 6:20pm

Looking at the NYCC Pactimo Custom sizing guide, I measured my hips and chest; their formula steers me between XL and 2XL for the bibs and jersey. I normally wear a medium in Castelli and most other brands (except Garneau, where I ended up in a 3XL jersey???). I am 5'11" 185lbs (it comes out as a snug aero fit). Anyone have any experience with how the NYCC kits are sized?

More information than you want to know. A bad ad.

Q: Metro North bike restrictions on holiday weekends, specifically July 4

Submitted by yjchen on Thu, 06/30/2022 - 10:10pm
I might be missing something but when I read this page I get confused https://new.mta.info/guides/bikes/bike-permit-regulations-mnr Are bikes not allowed during the entire holiday weekend of Independence day or just the Friday before and the Monday? Answer much appreciated.

Pump recommendations

Submitted by halpernd on Thu, 06/30/2022 - 6:28pm

Hello -

I am looking for two different pumps, and would like to get recommendations:

 

1) A floor pump, preferably with a metal chuck and that can work with Presta and Schraeder

 

2) An electric pump, that works AC and DC and that can have pre-set pressure.  I believe these features are common on electric pumps.  Also prefer one that handles both Presta and Schrader, although I don't think such a pump exists.  I see a number of different models, but no idea how to differentiate quality.  Any suggestions appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Submitted by Brsmnky804 on Mon, 06/27/2022 - 11:25pm

Hi All -

New here and super stoked! Wanted to start a thread for us to trade bikepacking routes (Bonus if gravel involved!). I've been riding for a while, but getting more and more into self sustained mini tours and i'd love to get into something this weekend! Would love to know what bikepacking trips you guys have done from and around NYC - happy to take the train to route also.

 

Thanks!
