Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
Good gloves can be the difference between a comfortable ride and the opposite. Big fan of these Specialized MTB/Gravel gloves.…
I was able to apply the update, but just like the last time there was weirdness where the Connect mobile app didn’t recognize that the update applied and kept wanting to offer it. Having seen this before, I checked with my Edge 530, and it went on the first time. So don’t be surprised if you see this on your end as well. It will be interesting to see if I notice…
A friend of mine had the chance to marshal the wheelchair mid field for the BOA 13.1 last weekend. I didn’t attend, but he was kind enough to slap a GoPro on his bike and record most of the event. It was a learning experience for me, mostly because I haven’t spent any real amount of time contemplating half marathons :). The most surprising thing was how fast the wheelchair field is;…
Lots of good stuff to be had from the $600 “Standard” and $750 Solar Edge 1040, with the main different between the two being a solar panel (duh) and the amount of device storage. DC Rainmaker saw some fairly impressive charging numbers from the solar, so my gut says if you have $600 to blow on this big guy, and you like not charging your bike computer from the grid, the $150…
I bought these Free Protect Race bib shorts specifically for gravel riding after the last… er.. actually time before the last time I crashed… Fugh… rubber side down, rubber side down, rubber……
Anecdotally, I have absolutely noticed a decline in motivation and performance after a course of antibiotics. Although, in each of these cases there has also been a reason why I was taking the antibiotics. Usually because I crashed my bike and needed them to prevent or fight off an infection. For that reason, I’ve never really thought about the potential that antibiotics were exacerbating the problem – until last night when I…
I’ve generally had a very positive view of Shimano. For the most part, the kit just works. What’s not to like about that? Well, part of how it just works, won’t anymore because they decided to cut Hammerhead out of their Di2 licensing. Why? Because SRAM bought Hammerhead… Yep, Shimano is screwing every one of their Di2 customers that also has a Hammerhead bike computer. WTF?…
Cool, comfortable, cost effective, and highly rated by Virginia Tech. There is very little not to like about the Bell Z20 Aero MIPS bicycle helmet…
News of the RCT715 leaked a couple days ago, and now it’s here. Unfortunatley, DCRs review isn’t glowing. “Dumpster fire” might have been used, multiple times……
First off. YES PLEASE! This is a no brainer, and I’m glad that Garmin has [allegedly] finally brought something to market. Specs are a bit thin on the ground (Reddit says $400 and 5 hours of battery life), but if those numbers are true and it’s 4K that’s not terrible; obviously more battery life would be preferred, but hey there’s only so much you can do with one built-in battery. Reddit…
