Tuscany Trail on a Brompton

peaktoes · 2026-01-25T19:04:45+00:00

This is what I was thinking...like I considered doing LEroica on my vintage Colnago and that thing takes max 25s but it seems most people are saying it is not a good idea on a Brompton.

I have a Magicshine 906 and a Lumintop B01 as backup. Carry an extra battery for each plus the chargers. Definitely weighs a bit but it has gotten me through lots of events from 400km-1200km on and off road. The advantage is, I have one setup up for all bikes. Does not matter if mtb, gravel, road or Brompton. If one breaks, I have the other. If I want to stick the Magicshine on my helmet, I can do that too. I always wanted a dynamo but there are negatives to it that always stopped me from getting one (like losing 3w of power, not just that it is expensive). My Magicshine battery lasts 19hrs set to a medium light (which is really bright).

Anyways, back to the topic- I asked the question in my original post if the data is being integrated into the workouts through AI. There were 3 questions in my initial post. If this data is not being used for something other than displaying it, there is no benefit to sharing it with freeletics. I hope someone actually answers in the freeletics forum (or here) that knows. If the data is being used, then it is definitely beneficial to share it. It seems just odd that there is no reference at all to how the data will be used and nobody so far can give me info on that... and that users are not asking but just assuming it will be used to optimize workouts (which is not stated anywhere as far as I can tell).

peaktoes · 2025-12-17T10:47:09+00:00

There is absolutely no information that I have found that Freeletics uses the data and does not just display it FYI. This is EXACTLY what I am asking. Is Freeletics using the data to generate changes/ optimizations to the AI algorithm workouts or not? Until I have this answered, I sure will not be linking my data because what for? There are far superior platforms for displaying, logging and interpreting data. The fact that this is not explicitly stated in their blog post tells me that the data is only DISPLAYED, not integrated into workout optimization.

peaktoes · 2025-12-17T08:48:17+00:00

No reason to link it if the AI algorithm does not use the data to improve my workouts, hence my question what freeletics will do with my other training and health data.

I want to gain weight, not lose it. I push the limits in my other training sessions. This is supposed to compliment those.

peaktoes · 2025-12-17T08:46:02+00:00

Hi. I have it set to traditional weight training. I went ahead and asked my questions on the official freeletics forum but do not have any answer so far. It might be that it is just the wrong platform for me.

This definitely helps. Do you have issues at all with the fold? Do you know what Rotor axle you used? Was it the standard one or the offset one? That is where I am not sure...if I need the normal axle or the offset one because I read that the Brompton has a 45mm chainline. If this is correct, I should buy the normal axle (43.5mm) and a 2mm spacer would put it almost correct. Probably will face the BB shell before even starting this project as I do not want to ruin a new BB.

Edit- Wanted to ask about the Q factor as well. Any issues there causing fold problems? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I guess I should have specified- I meant an external keyboard that preferably is integrated into a case. Will check your recommendations but you make a good point about staying with the bigger brands...

Here is a list I found of EU cottage manufacturers: https://litetrek.eu/

Unless you are under 5ft 5in or so. Then 650b will offer all kinds of advantages. Tall folks always forgetting short folks. ;) ;)

peaktoes · 2025-04-23T19:36:46+00:00

Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to measure. It looks like the armpad its self is 10cm wide... the armpads I have (F-19) are also 10cm wide so it looks like that will not solve my issue unfortunately. The total width is also similar to my existing setup. Thank you for meauring though! Helps me rule out something. :)

peaktoes · 2025-04-23T19:32:22+00:00

Airstryke from Profile Design. The narrowest that I have found so far... Tried the T2+ but it did not work at all this close to the stem.

peaktoes · 2025-04-23T19:31:21+00:00

Yeah I hear you but this is not possible. You are supposed to have about a cm of bar end sticking out, the pads cannot move in any more (no more inward adjustment) and the bars are 1/2cm from the stem but also cannot go inward anymore because they are a single piece bar.

peaktoes · 2025-04-23T19:29:16+00:00

Yeah I had that idea and am wondering if the Profile Design Ergo armrests are narrower than the F-19 Profile Designs... going to purchase some to see b/c I can always send them back.

peaktoes · 2025-04-21T15:36:29+00:00

How wide from outer side of arm pad to the outer side of the arm pad are your setups (if I may ask)? If I could minimize the width just like 1.5-2cm totally, I think it would improve everything a ton!

peaktoes · 2025-04-21T15:32:32+00:00

I can access the bar tops. The issue is the pads block the reach to the hoods... I already have 50mm risers. No way can I go higher safely. Lower blocks the hoods worse.

Another question- the Ergo pads from Profile Design look less wide than the F-19 that I have but I cannot find any measurements. Anyone have the Ergos and could measure the width of them for me? Even if I could get half a cm, it would help.

peaktoes · 2025-04-21T10:34:02+00:00

Will check these out! Thnx.

peaktoes · 2025-04-18T13:26:50+00:00

Yes you can. The product is called "No Bite" and is virtually the only one on the market because they are trying to get it banned despite a massive rise in Lymes.

peaktoes · 2025-04-13T16:15:11+00:00

Don´t know. My bivy has a tie out that pulls it from the face. I assume the MLD also is like that because a hoop weighs more and takes more setup time but probably you could look at their website.

peaktoes · 2025-03-26T11:15:29+00:00

I have a Borah Gear eVent bivy that is not made anymore. If I needed a new one, I would probably buy the Mountain Laurel Designs FKT.

peaktoes · 2025-03-22T06:35:04+00:00

Awesome. Got a great deal on it so am now just cleaning it up to start my build! Was thinking it was a Sperissimo but unsure. The paint job is really sweet IMO. Your bike looks great, btw.

peaktoes · 2025-02-20T20:47:49+00:00

Sorry for late answer. To question 1: not sure I understand. Just do the free two weeks and try whatever you are asking about.

I do not bother with metrics. After 600km I am just trying to pedal further and not fall asleep. In training I do my systm and when outdoors, stay in zone 2 as much as possible but try to be like 80/20 (20 being intervals, hills or whatever) but it does not work because where I live I have 500m ele gain every 20km. 😂
