2013-02-19 view Hi fellow club members.­.­.­ My Felt S25 (silver color) 54cm triathlon bicycle was stolen over the 2/18/2013 weekend.­ If you happen to see one or if someone offers it for sale, please contact me at george.­wu@juno.­com OR inform Garden Grove PD (a police report is being taken)
A few bicycle-specific info.­.­.­.­ the bike was repainted but not professionally so it feels rough/dull to the touch; there is a small dent on the top tube; the rear tire is an antipuncture Continental tire; There are also a little bits of silver paint overspray on the wheel and the fork.­

News & General Discussion 11-28 SRAM Rear Cassette vs Simano 12-27view 2013-03-13 Aaron:
I am sure you got an answer by now, but, yes, I have been riding a 50/34 with an 11-27 for lots of years.­ For flatland riding, I'll put on an 11-23.­ For really ugly climbs like Breathless Agony, I have gone to an 11-34 mountain bike rear cassette, long cage derailleur, and a compact double.­
Currently, we are using the SRAM Wi-Fly gearing in the back in either an 11-30 or an 11-32 with a mid cage derailleur with either Shimano or SRAM shifters, 9 or 10 speed.­ Most of the riders we have converted love the lower gearing for the long, steep stuff.­
News & General Discussion Rental Bicycles in OC?view 2013-03-13 Trail's End Cycling Center, a BCI sponsor, rents road, mountain bikes, and touring bikes.­ The rental fleet has several carbon fiber models from Scott, Cyfac, and a few Jamis bikes in sizes from 46 to 61.­ While TECC can set up out-of-towners with nice rental bikes, we also use the rental program as an "extended" test ride or demo for those looking for a new bike.­ You can rent the bike that you are thinking about and really give it a good test drive before you buy.­ TECC will then credit up to 7 days' rental fees towards the purchase of a new bike.­
Crashes we can learn from! Santiago Canyon SEview 2012-10-30 When cycling S.­E.­ through Santiago Cyn beware of traffic from Ridgeline Rd, the last "T" intersection on your right before Cook's Corner.­ Coming down that last grade is fast for cyclists, and vehicles coming down the grade on Ridgeline Rd often roll through the stop sign and into the bike lane.­ A riding buddy of mine about 30 feet in front of me got cut off by a motorist who fled the scene and cartwheeled onto her face last May.­ She spent a couple of months in the brain trauma unit of Mission Hospital.­ She also fractured two vertabrae, her cheeckbone and had extensive bruises and lacerations.­ She is almost back to normal except that it takes about one year to fully recover from brain trauma.­ Would have liked to have had a motorcycle helmet on for that one.­ I suggest approaching Ridgeline Rd with caution, also watching traffic over your left shoulder in case you need to veer out of the bike lane to avoid "California stops.­" Hope this helps.­
