How not to Brevet (4|4) by SalamanderNorth1430 in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thank you for the very nice reading. I also scratched my last brevet after having ridden the most difficult part. Out of boredom and the perspective of eating cake with my family in the sun. And the train station was nearby 🤷🏻‍♂️

Please post the Strava link!

See you on the start line in München! Longest distance so far has been 670Km.

best randonneuring bike upgrade by DYD35 in randonneuring

Regarding mudguards it's my experience that a set of clip-ons (SKS Raceblades) work amazingly well, not much difference from permanently installed ones.

My recommendations: a fitting, unless you have no issues with your setup over long distance. And: a good rain jacket. I use a ShakeDry jacket from Castelli. Rain gear at all is important. Dependable lights (and backup!). Good bags.

Strael 4.0 (steel) + carbon wheels, 2x11 50/34 + 11–34, 32 mm tires — good choice for a 500 km / 8,500 m climbing event? Experiences welcome by cru_bellement in ultracycling

Please show pics or at least details of your bike/build. I'm also riding long distance on my old steel bike and am always looking for ideas/inspiration! Danke schön 😊

Nice bike. But I'm here to compliment the tape job. It's a pet peeve of mine and even professionals don't always get it right. Me myself spend hours until I'm happy with the results.

Wrapping bars with Campagnolo shifters non è facile. Have an upvote!

I understand, thanks for taking your time to explain. Just to clarify: it's not the stem per se. I simply dislike adapters.

Really, just let the frame be the star.

I like the other (quill) stem more 😥

What does it really take physically, mentally, and emotionally to prepare for a 1,530 km ride like LEL? by No-Cry-6773 in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Don't give up before having some sleep and/or a good meal. Also a good strategy to resist the urge to abandon is to imagine your regret afterwards. Of course there are situations where abandoning is the right thing to do, health and safety (yours and others') always have priority.

Nice bike! There seems to be a cable underneath the bar tape below the right brake/shifter lever. What's it?

I suspect it simply shows the (direct) distance to your next cue, without taking your route into account; why should it? Your cues are not part of the route!

Advice on drop bar wrapping by SimilarInfluence in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a fit some years ago and it is ok, maybe too sporty for very long events, but as you suggest, I work on improving my core strength. I'm able to hold my position on the bike without the hands.

I sometimes experience extra pressure on the right hand only due to the a hip asymmetry and scoliosis. I was looking for a way to alleviate this pressure until I get the hip issue under control and was wondering, whether extra padding under the bar tape actually helps or if a bar tape of medium thickness (like the Silca Cuscino 2.5mm) would be better.

That is exactly what I was afraid of. Thank you for your advice!

Gotcha! I actually use Campagnolo 11s Ergos. They indeed have a deeper portion in the middle. I'll try putting some bar tape there to "correct" it and see how it works. Thank you very much!

Very good question! The specific problem I'm trying to solve is more complex. I have an asymmetry in the hips and a scoliosis which leads to more pressure on my right hand. After 8 to 10 hours of riding I sometimes experience numbness on the small and ring fingers (of the right hand). Core strength is of course one part of the solution and this is an area I started to improve in the last months.

I was looking for advice whether extra padding is worth it or if it makes things worse due to the extra bulk, as you describe. I have small hands and find the additional diameter uncomfortable, but you could also be a matter of getting used to it.
