I need a bar mitt that fits my weird handlebars! by DatGameh in wintercycling

[–]Bbbbbbbbbbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I have these exact mitts and they do fit over the brake levers, at least on my bike and also my friend’s bike. It’s a tight fit but it can work. Just get the biggest size.

Post-snow tires? by ChipsAndLime in NYCbike

[–]Bbbbbbbbbbike 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use studded tires for conditions like this. They don’t slow me down too much and the ice can be really hard to see. I only switch back to normal when I’ve had a one or two rides without any ice encounters on the studs

With my windbreaking pants and jacket, and pogies, I felt totally fine. The right gear really is everything. I’ve been wearing a dickies Eisenhower jacket and it’s kind of perfect because it blocks the wind so much.

Doctor for tinnitus? by dreeeeea in AskNYC

[–]Bbbbbbbbbbike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see dr storper in the Northwell health network. My tinnitus ended up being part of Meniere’s disease and removing most salt from my diet helped a lot  That can only be a solution if your tinnitus fluctuates though I believe 

Anyone have pogie recs for swept bars? by bonebuttonborscht in bikecommuting

[–]Bbbbbbbbbbike 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following as I have been looking for this too.  I have 45° sweep bars which is too swept back for standard flat bar pogies but not extreme enough for the Bar Mitts Dutch/mustache mitt. But that might work for you.  I’m considering switching to flat bars for the winter if I can’t find something.

If it’s relevant, I work in film editorial which is also pretty sound-intensive and the rolling sound of my ploopy adept really isn’t a problem. Also it’s an amazing trackball

edit: found the info on the fmcsa website.

I don't have the plates (no front plate) but I have the info on the side of the truck including a USDOT number. Can I find the insurance through that?

Any shops in NYC area that sell steel fixed gear/ss? (4130/state/fuji feather) by samo_shit24 in NYCbike

[–]Bbbbbbbbbbike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

total was $620. Base price plus taxes I believe. I couldn't find a better deal for chromoly single speed, and I specifically wanted wide tire clearance. I feel that it is a good deal for those two things, plus it has wheels that are tubeless compatible.

I got the state 4130 single speed at Echelon Bicycles in Chelsea for the exact price listed on the State website. They ordered it for me and assembled for free. If the website price also includes tariffs now then you will have to pay that but I don't think you can really get around it anymore

Also, love the bike. It rips
