Posted on October 31, 2011 by Signature

For those of you who missed our Greenwich bicycle maintenance clinic, we will be holding a New York City edition on Wednesday, November 9th from 6:30 – 8PM. The clinic will focus on familiarizing you with the regular maintenance points of your bicycle, what to look for, and issues that you can fix at home or on the road. Topics will include:

Monitoring tire wear, and how to change tires/tubes.
Proper chain lubrication, and the life expectancy of a chain.
Minor Derailleur adjustment, cable stretch and maintenance.
Maintaining your contact points: bar tape, pedal cleats, and saddle.
Changing brake pads for carbon or aluminum wheels.
How to use a torque wrench and why they are important.

… and of course, bring your questions. Please RSVP with Jeff@SignatureCycles.com.

Greenwich Shop Ride, October 8th

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Soren Klingsporn

You can’t fault the beautiful weather we’ve been having recently; we hope everyone has been able to get out to enjoy some miles. It’s getting closer to those last days that you’ll want to ride with your knees uncovered before the cold sets in for good!

Our Saturday Greenwich Shop Ride rolls tomorrow at 9am. Might change up the route a little bit this time, we’ll see how it goes on the road. Will still be about the same distance. Come join us!
