Orange Seal Rim Tape

Taping road tubeless wheels isn’t difficult, but there are some things you can do to make it easier, and make it work better. Fortunately, I had some Orange Seal rim tape (thanks Orange Seal!) on hand when it was time to re-tape my Reynolds AERO 65 DB. This video is both a how-to, and a review of the Orange Seal tubeless tape.…

Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW)

If you follow me on Strava, you’d probably seen that I’ve been putting in some long rides recently. The reason for that, or well the main reason for that, I also like long rides, is that I’m planning to do the one-day Ride Across Wisconsin (RAW) at the end of the month. Fortunately, I won’t have to do it solo because there are at least three other riders crazy enough to attempt…

Fixing a Leaky SUNringlé Mulefüt Rim

First off, massive apology for the audio quality on this video. I have no idea what happened with the mic setup, but I messed it horribly. Hopefully you can look, or hear, past that (because I wasn’t going to tear it all apart :)) and appreciate the content. This video addresses how to fix a leaky SUNringlé Mulefüt fat tire rim. Apparently Hayes is totally down with manufacturing “tubeless ready” rims that…

You’re just embarrassing yourself now, Strava

Please, just, stop, Strava. Those things you’re claiming that you can do with relative heart rate data, are exactly what you can’t do with relative heart rate data, and exactly why power meters exist. Heart rate is a great way to know how your body is doing on a given day (i.e. am I dehydrated, tired, under/over caffeinated, etc.), but you simply cannot use it to compare efforts for that reason. Too…

Garmin Acknowledges The Existence Of Non-Garmin Activities

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great that Garmin devices can now process workouts from other platforms (well, a limited set anyway) to determine load. But, the devil is in the details, because they aren’t processing the activities completely; I’ll still be double recording whenever I get on the trainer. That might seem a bit off, so let me explain a bit. I’ve complained before about Garmin’s metrics, but that doesn’t…

If you want MTB geometry, maybe get a MTB?

I generally like Jame Huang’s bike reviews, he’s very thorough, and has a no-BS style which is appreciated. But, I really don’t get the bias towards MTB geometry on gravel bikes that he’s been pushing. I suspect that this is an artifact of background, and where he tends to ride (IIRC, he’s based in Boulder, CO); if you ride MTB trails on a gravel bike, I can see where MTB geometry would…

Garmin Releases 8.0 Firmware for Edge 520/530/820/830/1030/1030+

Unfortunately, there don’t appear to be binaries available this time around, so you’ll have to wait or try to force it with Garmin Express. Changes made from 7.10 to 8.00: Course Routing – Improved course routing speed. – Added automatic course route caching. Map – Improved map visibility and contrast with new map themes. – Added a popularity layer to highlight roads that Garmin users have ridden the most. – Added directional…

In Bizarre Move, UCI Bans HR Sensors From Pro Competions

OK, that’s a lie, but it’s functionally indistinguishable from what they have done; ban blood glucose and lactate monitoring devices. Maybe I’m missing something, but this seems crushingly myopic. Sure it’s an advantage to know when your building unsustainable levels of lactate, or your blood sugar is about to crash, but that’s just data about your body; much like what a heart rate sensor, body temperature, or sweat rate sensors provide. If…
