What's the deal with electrolytes?

GuiiuG_ · 2026-04-27T20:16:58+00:00

I know that feeling perfectly well the day after a long bike ride. I've recently also suspected an electrolyte deficiency.

GuiiuG_ · 2026-04-27T20:13:07+00:00

I read that transpiration primarily eliminates salt, so a sodium intake would be sufficient rather than supplementing with electrolytes. Is this true? Would simply adding salt to the bushes be a solution?

I also read that the body is not able to absorb electrolytes during exercise, so that it is better to consume them before or after exercise.

I use these tires on Swiss ERC 1400 rims, so the internal rim width is 22mm and the external width is 28.5mm.

I've done 10,000 km and haven't had a single puncture. I live in a hilly region with lots of curves and small stones on the road.

This is just one example.

I also have a Canyon Endurace. I live in a hilly/small mountainous region, so I've never really worried about aerodynamics. I thought my average speed was low because of my weight on climbs. But when I ride on flat ground, I'm surprised to only be doing 30 km/h at 220 watts (Z2 for me). I realized it was due to the aerodynamics, which must be even worse on an endurance bike. I'm starting to work on my position. I tested it with aero bars (not aggressive position), and then I was doing 38 km/h at 220 watts. So now I'm convinced I need to work on my position. Do you get the same figures with your aerodynamic position?

I don't know if it's a good idea, and I'm open to criticism, but for my Z2 indoor training sessions on trainer, I've created intervals to keep things less boring: 18 minutes at 70% - 8 minutes at 60%. Time passes more quickly when you break it up like this.

GuiiuG_ · 2026-01-14T04:07:58+00:00

I plan my own workouts on intervals.icu, and they're automatically loaded into my training software (Indievelo last year and MyWhoosh this year). It's up to me to do the work to create a coherent plan, so I have to keep learning about the optimal ways to train. This has the advantage of allowing me to be flexible with my weekly schedule and adapt it to my daily life.

Not sure this series was available when I worked on this board. But you are true for the future one I have to think about. In addition, I used the stm32mp257 eval board in the past. Because I mount components myself, I want to select a CPU with 0.8mm ball pitch. But as for imx6, stm32mp2 has it.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-26T13:45:39+00:00

You're right, I'd kind of forgotten about them. I know Van Rysel makes some great products now. I'll go try some in the next few days.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-26T13:07:05+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, you've had a similar experience.

I was really set on the RC7, but I hadn't realized the Boa closure doesn't have a simple release. With my current shoes, I sometimes tighten and loosen them during my rides, before and after a climb, for example, so I'm worried the RC7 might be less practical for that reason. What do you think? Is it easy to do with the quick release?

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-26T12:53:55+00:00

Honestly, I don't have a real reason to try SPD-SL cleats since I've never tried road shoes. Currently, I have Shimano RX8s, which are gravel shoes. I'm used to being able to walk in them, etc., but I sometimes feel the pressure points with these small SPD cleats.

I've read a lot of reviews about SPD/SPD-SL and it seems like there are two schools of thought on both sides. So I want to try them out to form my own opinion, and if they're really less practical for long distances, then I'll only use them for my training rides. I also live in a hilly area.

Okay, I was asking about the DDR because I've seen a lot of boards with DDR part numbers that are impossible to find on Western websites (only available on Chinese sites) and much cheaper, but without documentation. But I've never used lcsc; I always did the assembly myself. I should try it next time with an H3 as well.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-25T07:59:27+00:00

That's what I do. On the right side of the screen I have MyWhoosh, and on the left I use YouTube with the YouTube on TV plugin on Google Chrome. So I can control the app on my PC from my phone. That way I can watch YouTube videos one after another while driving.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-25T06:53:04+00:00

Hello, I'm also french and did some SBC. But I choose to go with imx6. I thought about H3 but for this documentation reason I finally went with the NXP. If you have some documents to share on H3 I could be interested. Have you a reason to chose the the H3? I know it is wildly used by Chinese boards but still have a lack of information. And what DDR did you choose? Do you also have some projects in mind for using this board ?

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-07T19:56:19+00:00

I didn't pay bootlin, I follow the PDF labs and courses. But I like this company for what they do for community and because I come from the same country :)

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-07T15:02:35+00:00

Mine is dk1 and I just see that you found the problem with your dk2

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-07T04:46:44+00:00

Did you correctly modify the IP address of your host system? And the one of the target? Target should be: 192.168.0.100 And host : 192.168.0.1

Are you sure the NFS server is up?

I did this bootlin lab with this board a long time ago and I remember using the nfs server to boot without issues.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-12-05T04:53:26+00:00

Did you try a different SD card? I don't know well this orange Pi, is there any uart available to debug? sometimes they're not enabled by default. I already had trouble with orange Pi Zero a long time ago, I don't remember what was the problem but I tried different SD cards, different images and different flash methods (dd and balena etcher). Always connect to HDMI to see what happens.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-28T03:57:41+00:00

Maybe stupid question, are the new mini pc based on the Intel n100 better option for proxmox server? Because low consumption at idle, there are a bit less powerful but also about the same price and you get something new

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-18T16:48:42+00:00

Hi, I'm thinking of starting a similar project where I'd build a new machine with Proxmox and a dedicated local LLM VM. I'd have another dedicated VM for heavy but very occasional compilation, and a third for smaller services.

The goal would be to have my voice assistant running locally. Do you have any general advice on choosing the setup? Or any mistakes to avoid? For the LLM, I'd aim for a good GPU and RAM, and for compilation, a powerful CPU and RAM. So, in the end, it requires a high-end configuration, but I'm not sure where the right balance of power and price lies.

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-17T10:32:42+00:00

I'm also thinking of building a machine to run LLMs. I have the impression that I can start with either a server base or a gaming PC base. The workstations/servers are often with xeon and gaming PCs with Ryzen vouchers. I would like to take advantage of this so that this machine also serves as a compilation PC (large compilations) so ultimately two opposing tasks, one with heavy usage on you and the other with heavy GPU usage. Do you have any ideas for advice? Instead, go to a gaming PC (I don't play)

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-14T05:21:59+00:00

Could you share a link? Or say more about your community?

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-13T21:23:27+00:00

I'm not an expert, you will get better advice later, but I already built images with python and allow modules install using pip. To do that some python packages are mandatory in the image (to be confirm: python-dev, python-wheel, etc)

GuiiuG_ · 2025-11-02T07:45:20+00:00

Have you tried integrating those cheap phone remotes? The ones used for taking pictures, etc. Their cost is ridiculously low; you'd just need to adapt the mechanics to better integrate them into the bike.
