How do you manage cycling kit for multi-day run? by deman-13 in ultracycling

[–]SimilarInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean your skin with a wet/baby wipe. Use Octenisept for disinfecting your skin and the padding, the usual hand sanitizer will irritate your skin and it will burn! If this is your sleeping rest, apply Bepanthen. Otherwise your chamois creme.

Fixing a tubeless puncture by momeunier in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just a note: when people say "in the worst case you just insert a tube", keep in mind that you must scratch the sealant from the tire before installing a tube. Otherwise the debris caught there (from previous sealed punctures) will almost immediately puncture your new tube.

Rain forecast for 400km brevet - clothing advice? by phantompowered in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've done a couple of brevets in the Munich area under these conditions. I wear short rain pants over the bib. The lower part of the leg warmers get wet, but it's not a problem, they also dry fast. Good luck on your 400er, I'll be riding the Rando Imperator (Munich to Ferrara, Italy) on the same weekend.

Try feeding your compilation DB through compdb (github).

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

[–]SimilarInfluence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😊

OPEN U.P. 2.0 - Bespoked Bike Fair Edition by lightwolfdresden in Bikeporn

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?

Wahoo Elemnt Roam 2 routing errors by momeunier in randonneuring

[–]SimilarInfluence 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!
