Hey all, I wanted to let you know about a new race that is part of the NJ Cup series. It is less than 1 week away! The date is Saturday September 26th. It's called HIPPO CROSS!!! It's a race named after a beer!!! We've got the promotion machine rolling, and been doing lots of work on the...

So, the Bike Snob wrote an article a while back and touched on an interesting subject. What is the difference between a "cyclist" and "a guy on a bike" (or more politically correct "a person on a bike"). He submitted that there are two differences. I think that there might be more to it...

What is your Jens factor? How much do you HTFU? http://cyclocosm.com/2010/01/calculate-your-jens-factor/

Today I saw the nastiest crash in a crit that I've ever seen, and it wasn't because of something that the riders in the race did. It was the first race of the day (Cat 5's). My race (the cat 3/4s) was set to go second. I set up my trainer so that I could watch the race from just past the...

A friend of mine (who lives in Seattle) has a question. I'm not much of a 'wrench' so I figured I would post his question here to get your feedback. He doesn't have an MTBNJ account, so any back & forth questions will probably go through me. He will be watching the thread though. So, here is...

Has anyone read Joe Friel's Cyclist's Training Bible in depth enough to tell whether or not there is much difference between the third and fourth editions? I have the third edition, which is from 2003.

I'm finally getting around to get my CX fixed. In the last race, I destroyed the rear derailleur, derailleur hanger, cable, and chain. I see that Shimano has short and mid-cage choices for the ultegra derailleur. I'm not sure which one I need. My cassette is 11 x 28 Chainrings are 46 x 36 If...

1 - Road bike: I had a hard time removing it on my road bike. I eventually got it, but I wasn't sure how tight it should be when putting it back on. 2 - CX Bike: This one is on really tight. I can't seem to get it off. I'm using the proper tools (chain whip, cassette lockring tool). Any...

Has anyone found this place in Mooch? http://weirdnj.com/stories/abandoned/profanity-houses-rutherfurd-stuyvesant/

Is there any kind of recommended preventative maintenance on spokes? On my bikes, I notice that some spokes are looser than others. The wheels are actually still true. But I wonder if there is any sort of maintenance schedule that should be followed that could help prevent any wheel failures...

Here is an interesting article I found on the best ways to store your beer. A little preventative maintenance can go a long way. http://www.refrigeratorinfo.com/Features/Brown-Bottles-and-Tall-Tales-7-Myths-About-Storing-Beer.htm?sf6120690=1 I'm still not sold on the part about green...

So, who is going to the NJ State Fair? http://www.newjerseystatefair.org/html/fair.cfm Demolition Derby is Monday August 6th. They had pig races in previous years, but I don't see it on the schedule this time around. Bummer dude. PS: Congratulations to you if you still refer to it as the...

Anyone doing (or considering) doing the French Creek race? I haven't heard much talk about it. https://www.bikereg.com/Net/15609 Here is a video I found from the 2010 race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcuqoMSlCFM It doesn't look very technical. I've never been to this place, so...

Anyone doing the Tour de Lake Hopatcong this year? I signed up, but don't have much info on the course. Anyone have course info? Or possibly a course file that can be loaded on a Garmin?

On my road bike I am running a 53/39 crankset with 12/25 cassette. I have been riding that bike for 12 years, so I'm really used to it. I am in the market for a new road bike. Some of the bikes I am looking at come with 50/34 compact as part of the standard build. I have 2 questions...

Hello. I'm a newbie to MTBNJ. Not so new to bicycling though. I used to race a few years back (in the days where the categories were still called 'beginner, sport, expert/pro'). Just getting back into the biking thing now. I live in Flemington and all of my road rides start at my front...
