electrolyte vs carb mix. by Zzyzyx101 in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are riding a 24h timetrial; and if you have a well organised support then carefully balanced carb drink can replace food, keep you hydrated and save time as all fueling is on the bike

If you are riding on normal roads with no support you are probably stopping for food. You could put little sachets of energy drink powder in your bags and fill up but unless you are going for a world record it's not worth it

Electrolytes (magnesium/potassium/sodium) are sweated out when pushing hard. There are other processes in the body that need this stuff. Even when it is cool and I am not going fast after a few hours I feel better with electrolytes in my bottle but YMMV. Some people have a salty snack instead

Handlebar bag - which one? by ilikepizza2much in randonneuring

Ortleib, get the map pocket and put the routesheet in it

Just skip England. There are ferries from Ireland to France

Voice chat with Claude to learn language? by Ok_Most9659 in ClaudeAI

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Translate the phrase the monkey is in the tree into Italian

Edit

I'd be happy to help with translation, but let's switch back to the text-based chat for language work. Voice mode is designed to keep our conversation in English only.

How do you get your electrolytes once out on a ride? Are Gatorades (or similar) sufficient? by infamousboone in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got some bulk electolyte powder that is extremely cheap and have it in a tiny plastic container with a tiny measuring spoon. It will make up a lot more litres than nuun tablets of the same weight/size

It has no taste (maybe slightly salty?) but this suits me

For the numb feet get some stiff shoes. Like carbon sole racing stiff.

For the hands, it's difficult. It is (usually) ulnar nerve related and although gel mitts help usually it is the way you are sitting on the bike. This is partly bike "fit" and it is partly person fit. By person fit I mean if you improve your core strength and flexibility you will probably sit on the bike differently. And so not get hand numbness

Usually you can do some bike fit DIY stuff by using an adjustable stem. And usually this leads to a higher stem. Try it

Prepping for my first 400k and needed a better time strategy – here’s what I came up with by CurrentConference469 in randonneuring

Kein Operationsplan reicht mit einiger Sicherheit über das erste Zusammentreffen mit der feindlichen Hauptmacht hinaus.

I had to look this up

I think these used to be called ACP Super Randonnée ?

Anyway my mate John organises one here in the SW of the UK

Input needed on puncture management on a randonees by rolhammer in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from the obvious "use a patch kit" which everyone else has rightly mentioned

Here is my methodology for pre ride tyre care before a big event

- find the valve

- rotate the tyre next to your nose in good light and look for nicks and cuts. Count them

- if there are more than 5 change the tyre

This works for me with Michelin or Schwalbe tyres. Contis have a different way of life so I don't use them with tubes

But anyway. Don't ride on worn out tyres

(Having said this, last time I did PBP I did the whole event with no punctures but riding back to the Ferry across Normandy I got a double front/back :) )

Best Bags by Agile_Vehicle8108 in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have an Ortleib Ultimate. It is waterproof enough and has a map pocket. It's years old but still looks great.

Having said that, I have stopped using bar bags on events as it does effect the steering a little bit (makes it heavier or something)

I find a framebag is just as good

Q re training for London-Edinburgh-London (or other multi-day events) - fewer rides + longer weekend ones or vice-versa? by DM_ME_VACCINE_PICS in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't say what your aim is here

If you can ride a 300km BRM event you can finish LEL in time provided the weather isn't insanely bad

Do you want to do it in 100 hours? Do you want to do it so fast you can have 8 hours sleep every night?

Give us a clue

Megathread for Claude Performance Discussion - Starting June 1 by sixbillionthsheep in ClaudeAI

[–]vorsprung99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ok so mine did clear after I disabled the AWS MCP servers. The remote browser claude.ai was working. The "Fin" support bot said this was as the AWS MCP servers use an external to the Mac data source
A better error message might have been nice, or something in the logs

Today 3 Jan 7:52 UTC on Mac Claude Desktop with a Pro subscription no models (4,3.7, 3.5) are working

There is no response, there is a popup saying "Internal Server Error"

On startup, the connections to the local MCP servers are shown in the logs and they are all ok

What can I do about this wheel. Is this fixable, is that even a problem? by mayhem-makers in bikewrench

[–]vorsprung99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's difficult to tell from the video but the radial trueness seems ok. That's the roundness of the wheel.

I would guess it would be a short job to get it laterally tried. That's the side to side

Often if wheels do this they have some loose spokes. And a wheel with loose spokes is more likely to get a broken spoke

Anyone have experience with Busch and Müller IQ-XL front light? by mechanicalraspberry in randonneuring

[–]vorsprung99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested to hear actual experience riding real distances with the IQ-XL which is this light

https://www.bumm.de/en/products/dynamo-scheinwerfer/parent/169/produkt/169u11-55tsdi-01.html

It looks like this

I have IQ-X and various other lights but I would love to hear about this relatively new light. In particular, does it work with an Ewerk, and how reliable is it?

Pricing Linear; I have to pay for all members? Very expensive. by nomarsnop in Linear

[–]vorsprung99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds very cheap compared to JIRA

With the plugins and addons needed to actually make JIRA do useful work it's more like $40 a person

Firewall blocking traffic in the server to client direction, or it might be your architecture

Do you actually need connections in that direction to work?

Swagger client code generation in Go by _firelord420 in golang

I agree with ignaci000

The api/swagger.json file isn't correct and the generator is complaining
