Hello CVC,   HEREIS THE RIDE SCHEDULE FOR THIS WEEK.   Many thanks for those who helped make the away ride to Palos Verdesa success.   Yourbike chain is the one part that probably needs to be changed most often. It’salso the part that can cause the most problems for your other parts like your chainrings, cassette and derailleurs when it wears down, while making your shiftingunpredictable. In general, most chains last between 2,000-3,000 miles. Thisnumber variesdepending on how clean you keep your drivetrain, the weather conditions you ridein and your power output.   Achain checker is a fairly inexpensive tool that can determine the wear of yourchain Simplyinsert the tool in between the links. If it reaches 0.5% your chain still haslife left. Ifit reaches 0.75% it’s time to replace it.     Plans are underway for our next Away Ride.     PubRides are scheduled on Wednesdays with a rolling time of 5:30pm Sherihas and continues to send out announcements with information for sign up.
