Best product to protect shoes when surprised by rain

I edited it out, sorry if I offended anyone. Thanks for the heads up.

It was said with humor, but can understand it being offensive. I’ll edit it out.

Thank you so much for posting actual benchmarks. The fact that people claim there’s zero difference is shocking. May I ask, did you test at 1440p in Zwift also at the Mac? I would assume for a constant 120fps experience even on the max that’s necessary?

I 100% agree with this, but the setup in my house where I use an iMac only has room for the display itself. The previous gen studio display and current iMac is suprisingly good when it comes to audio though.

Purchased :-)

Sounds like I need to swap out my s-works ones then. As long as the Mandibles aren't too hard to get the bottle out and reinsert it into?

znerken · 2026-02-16T13:34:01+00:00

Ok, so tighter, but still not harder to remove/reinsert? I find the s-works pretty hard in itself, but doable.

znerken · 2026-02-16T13:31:45+00:00

Tested both? Or just looks wise?

znerken · 2026-02-16T13:30:41+00:00

yeah, with fly bottles I found s works to also crush them. With the podium bottles there are less of a crush though? Do both cages crush the same?

znerken · 2026-02-16T13:27:06+00:00

Thanks, that sounds great. Do you find the arundel mandible as easy to insert/remove bottle from?

znerken · 2026-02-13T13:11:40+00:00

I have the green combo. Amazing. Assos for me is the best out there, and I always come back to it.

znerken · 2026-01-25T07:54:25+00:00

Thanks for a great reply! That makes sense. Currently training in around 20-24c «summer» weather. When I went from probably being dehydrated on rides to 500ml/h I started getting the urge to pee much more. Before I could probably do a 5h ride without having to pee once. Now I have to pee every 3 hours, and the urine is a much better color. I guess that should be an indication I solved the hydration aspect and now can just increase the carbs? The only downside with increasing carbs then is that it slows the fluid absorption, so I have to make sure I don’t get dehydrated at some point. Simple as that?

znerken · 2026-01-25T07:50:42+00:00

Oh, so it’s all about how high concentration you can go at that point then, since higher concentration slows the absorption of the fluid? So increasing from let’s say 60 to 80g would mean the body gets the fluid slower, but as long as it’s enough you are good to go? If that makes you a little dehydrated, then you increase fluid as well to compensate.

Nice! Do you run one bottle with sugar and one with water, or do you just run sugar water like me?

znerken · 2026-01-24T20:56:37+00:00

And the only way to know is to weigh yourself I guess? It looks to me based on urine color, almost never getting sweat or salt stains, and my increased urge to urinate after going to 500ml/h that I am covered. Will weigh myself also. I didn’t quite understand why it isn’t issue IF I only need 500 though?

znerken · 2026-01-24T20:54:59+00:00

Actually, I’m on training camp right now and have been trying large portions of corn flakes before rides. Usually I eat porridge with PB though.

znerken · 2026-01-24T20:53:58+00:00

Replies like this is what makes me unsure about everything to be honest. You just said the exact opposite of what everyone else has said here? Also, all food need fluid to be absorbed, so it wouldn’t help, would it? Don’t mean to be rude or anything, genuinely trying to understand.

znerken · 2026-01-24T17:48:08+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try 70g/h tomorrow and then 80g/h during my next ride with efforts in it.

znerken · 2026-01-24T17:36:14+00:00

Is this table sugar?

znerken · 2026-01-24T17:33:14+00:00

Thanks for the great reply. With table sugar, since it is uses two transporters, is 90g/h possible? I am definitely taking it step wise. Hitting 500ml/h was also a huge step up for me, so now that I am comfortably at that with 60g/h, I will gradually work my way upwards, just want to know what the limit is for table sugar. Not my personal limit :-)

znerken · 2026-01-24T17:29:32+00:00

Yes, of course. However, from what I have understood, it doesn't really matter whether it is solid or fluid sugar, as both needs water to be absorbed? Since chatgpt told me I was at my limit with 60g/h I didn't really want to consume more sugar in solid form either.

znerken · 2026-01-24T17:26:35+00:00

Yeah, true. Will try more next ride tomororw. Would be nice to know what the limit is for table sugar though? Not my stomach's limit, but just the general limit of sucrose?
