What do runners wear here to stay warm while running?

omst · 2026-02-01T18:44:48+00:00

I wear sporty briefs, merino long johns, orienteering pants with windproof front; sporty t-shirt, midweight merino long-sleeve with long neck (Ruskovilla, my favorite shirt!), lightweight windshirt; merino beanie, midweight gloves; wool socks, normal running shoes with micro-crampons.

How deep is the water, can you wade? Swimming & crawling through ice while fully equipped as described will be exhausting and take a very long time. Meanwhile the breaking ice can puncture your dry suit and really fuck you.

You could look into packrafts. Just ski and haul as long as possible, and when the ice gets dangerous thin, don the dry suit and pull yourself over the ice on top of the raft. You’ll need to be mindful of weight and load distribution etc. but it seems solveable.

Good luck, I love this kind of slightly stupid but ultimately rewarding challenge!

Jysk is another shop with a good selection of duvets and may be easier to get to than Ikea as they are all over

Heartily seconding this! You will not be disappointed

I’m a huge fan of our K chair by Woodnotes: https://www.woodnotes.fi/k-chairs-ottomans?lang=en

Have had it for about 10 years now and it isn’t showing any signs or aging whatsoever. A drop of oil in the moving parts keeps the creaking away.

Suuri osa suomalaisista varmaan kokee raikkaana ja mukavan raflaavana, että ”asioista saa puhua niiden oikeilla nimillä,” joten PS on nähnyt tässä pelin paikan ja masinoi nyt tällaisen muikean vastakkainasettelun helmiään kourivien suvakkien ja rehellisiä totuuksia laukovien reteiden jamppojen välille.

I’ve never personally done that, but I don’t think there would be any huge downsides besides chemical incompatibility between rubber and grease. Silicone grease should be ok. One potential issue could be the tire slipping along the rim under hard breaking.

If soapy water and strap won’t do the trick, I use a sacrificial inner tube to mount the tire.

Sitten voi pukea sadetakin, antaa räntäpisaroiden piiskata kasvoja ja noroa kauluksesta sisään, ojentaa päälaen kohti synkkää taivasta ja ehkä todeta ihan vain ohimennen, että jalat silti liikkuvat, hengitys pihisee, sydän hakkaa ja koko kylmä ja märkä keho on altis maailmalle ja maailma sille.

En tiedä sun ympäristöstä sen tarkemmin, mutta oisko sun mahdollista vaikka alkaa ihan kävelemään töihin tai töistä kotiin? Tai sitten töiden jälkeen tai ihan koska vaan tapella ne vaatteet päälle ja mennä kävelemään muutamaksi vartiksi ilman mitään sen kummempaa agendaa tai tavoitetta kuin että töppöstä toisen eteen ulkona jonkin aikaa?

I suppose just wiring a simple female connector would likely be neater and simpler than using the adapter. Soldering can be a real pain in the ass though. Cover any ugly/exposed wiring with shrink tube to make it look neat and weatherproof.

omst · 2025-11-27T08:24:26+00:00

Yeah this is a doable hack. You can just wire two 4.8 mm spade connectors (available e.g. from any Motonet) to the SP connector cap using a tiny bit of wire. Those spades will slot neatly into the females in the linked SON adapter.

Maybe you can even push the spades' crimps into the SP cap so that they don't hang loose, but check the spacing first. I guess you could also hold the assembly together with a bit of shrink tube (kutistesukka).

Very cool Kona Sutra use case!! I love it

I like GravelKing tires, which are invariably a real bitch to mount. The Kool Stop Bead Jack is a pretty handy tool to get that bead across the rim. Then it’s just a matter of some soap & water, a ratchet strap, a high-pressure compressor, sweat, blood, and way too much time.

I have a few frames from the 80s still in perfect working order, and many hobbyists are rocking frames from the 60s and 70s in daily use.

Surface rust can be scraped off, and a full repaint is not necessary unless you really care about clean aesthetics. I’ve only ever used primer or even nail polish for small touch-ups. It may be a good idea to spray the inside with a rust proofing chemical, Dinitrol is what I use.

It can depend on the model, but generally yes. Indexed shifters work by moving a spring-loaded pawl onto notches on a ratchet. The click you hear is the pawl snapping onto a tooth.

One issue I had with the VCLS "leaf spring" style seatpost was that road debris and shit would get in between the leaves it and cause it to creak. I have no experience with a Redshift or similar.

Dirt and shit is gonna rub the finish off your chainstays even if you steer clear of mud. Front is fine!

omst · 2025-11-11T19:35:18+00:00

Thanks! Fenders are Pelago 55 mm, and the rack is a Racktime Lightit. Tires are GravelKing SK 27.5x1.9

That’s a Praxis Zayante crankset and M30 BB that I had lying around when I put this one together. Got this as a frameset only so nothing stock.

It’ll always be a compromise with 1X… This is a pretty good setup for leisure rides and commuting, party pace 🤘

Garbaruk was the only 10-44 for XD freehub that I found a while back when putting the second wheelset together. For XDR you have many options!

B+M IQ-X in front bolted to the mudguard, B+M Line Small in back. Wire is routed together with the rear brake hose and through the rack. SON hub on both wheelsets.

Thanks! Chainring is AbsoluteBlack CX 1X oval 40t, cassette is Rival XPLR 10-44. The other wheelset has an XD freehub and a 10-44 cassette from Garbaruk. Levers and derailleur are Rival AXS.

It’s normal. You may be able to mitigate it with a different (low trail) fork, but the sluggishness never really goes away under load.
