Fenix make great lights. The battery is not fenix specific, it's a 18650 (18mm diameter, 650mm tall) and you can find them in vape shops, if you ever need one on the go. It can also be charged by any 18650 charger. They also make battery packs that take 18650 battery, that's what I use for longer trips, then I can swap them and not have anything hanging

Hi, did you use in any race or multiday event inner mouse to protect tires agains flats? Not sure if are good idea or a mess.. Finally from nornal rides to this multibag+watter races how up you go with tire pressures? Thanks a lot🎉
@wattwagon21 күн бұрын
I haven't used any tire liners/inner mouse in my rims. I weigh just light enough that I don't think I have as many issues as many of the men out there who are about 65kg. I am also super delicate with how I descend. but I have heard great things about them!

Non bike multi tools are great, and have often got me out of a jam, but if you want a smaller/lighter one than you have there in your TT bag, then have a look at a Gerber Dime. Super small, super light, still really useful.

Definitely agree with free-flow training and listening to the body - after learning the basics! I worked with training plans for a couple years before going on my own. Allowing myself freedom to plan around work, weather, and other last-minute interruptions has certainly helped my training. fwiw I can't recommend Joel Friel's book enough for those looking to get familiar with training basics. Regardless of how I train I find it critical to keep track of chronic training load so I can be sure I'm growing fitness and not plateauing or over-reaching. Strava, Garmin, Training Peaks, WKO, etc. all do good job but imho TP/WKO are hard to beat. Minimizing stops is huge! (Turn off the computer's auto-pause function if it's on.) When I realized my power curve's step at three hours coincided with a stop, I was able to use that as incentive to push it out until I could do 100mi without stopping. Finally I would add it's not possible to keep fitness year round - take a couple weeks off every now and then to keep those hormones in balance. Exercise provides stress. Rest does the rest!
@wattwagon21 күн бұрын
Joel Friel is a throwback! I read some of his info back when I first started getting into racing. Great to understand basics even though the science has changed a bit since. But that's science! we are always learning more. I think tracking is super important as well. All the apps these days do a good job of taking your body metrics/data and telling you about yourself. But the best is to start to learn how you personally feel first then consult the data.
