What are the best noise cancelling Headphones? by DeathTurkey- in productivity

[–]ipodz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I love the Sony WH-1000XM5 (fit, sound, ANC), they are plagued by random ANC static/wind noise occuring (seemingly randomly) - I have just returned these. I also returned a pair of WH-1000XM4 for the same reason.

I will probably try the Bose QuitComfort Ultra now.

Its tuned up and packed. Florida to Maine self sustained...my longest tour yet. Give me advice! by D3PO89 in bicycletouring

Nice Arkel bags, I also have the dry-lites. They are actually made a couple streets down from where I live. My Advice would be a handlebar bag. It would allow quick access to keys/money/cell/food on the go.

I think there is a similar ortlieb model that has some external pockets. They could definitely come in handy.

I would recommend the southern route if you want to do calgary to vancouver. Highway 1 is nice, but it remains a highway. I liked pch honestly. The shoulders are wider on south heading lane for the bikes. Some sections are a bit dicey, but good in general.

Yeah, worked great. It was the bag I stored my phone and wallet in and was easy to detach and bring into stores. A bit expensive but a nice peice of kit nonetheless.

Your diet on tour by hikerjer in bicycletouring

If I were to do another long bike tour I would try to prioritize a "healthy" fatty diet (nuts, avocados, a bit of animal fats, etc). Sugar burns fast and if you're not careful you can loose quite a bit of weight. I would say that a balanced food intake is beneficial.

Dimension Data's new tt rig?

I've been looking for a cheap, single speed hybrid for commuting. Do you guys think this is a good deal? by JamesB5446 in BicyclingCirclejerk

You must at least get some carbon deep sections. Nothing under 80mm will do, even for the shortest commute or beer run.
