Gear Talk / Winter cycling — pawls freezing

« on: February 14, 2009, 04:08:20 pm »

Anyone here into winter cycling? I wonder what you do about pawls freezing in your freewheel hub. I am also thinking about getting a bike with an internal hub — are these immune to freezing?

Routes / Orlando FL to Houston TX

« on: December 13, 2008, 12:34:18 am »

I'm supposed to attend a family gathering in Houston in mid-March and
I'm thinking of getting there the long way by flying to Orlando at the end
of February then riding west. I've never to this part of the US. How is it for
riding, and at this time of the year? Any advice and suggestions
appreciated.

Routes / Combining L&C, Trans-Am & North. Tier

« on: July 06, 2005, 09:01:43 pm »

I'm thinking of heading off across west to east using the L&C section 7
and Trans-Am section 4 then making my way to Mt. Rushmore and across
the plains to hook up with the Northern Tier route from sections 8 and 9.
Anyone with thoughts on the route between Yellowstone NP and Mt
Rushmore and on to Iowa?

Also, I've biked across the continent before but up on the Canadian side
where the passes are much lower. Just wondering how much steeper the
climbs are on the American Rockies seeing that the passes are almost
twice as high.
