I think we do similar things! Let the data speak, and see the table at https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/mtb-reviews tl;dr Schwalbe leads the pack, but some of their older tyres are hard to find. I swapped to Thunder Burt (bought direct from https://schwalbetyres.co.za/) and saved 20W on my rig. Thats a free 10% more power going forwards.

Can you post a picture of the pcb? There are some generic electronics folks who can do component-level replacement, and you may have some luck there. I've found the good folks at communica can recommend a hobbyist or two that you can chat with.

Wild! I think these are the folks I recommended: have you used them too?

I frequently travel to Portugal and rent bikes from https://gocyclingportugal.com/ Their service is great, the bikes good, and their rates reasonable. Waaaay cheaper and far less risky than flying your bike.

Hear hear!!! So much fun; thanks peeps.

This is beautifully compiled, thanks for the effort in making it—I really enjoyed watching it. What were your temperatures?

Here are some long gravel routes around your neck of the woods: https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/44151720 https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/58198237 https://connect.garmin.com/modern/course/44566290 Have fun 🙂

That was character-building, thats for sure—such a great event though. Loved it.

I also think these are much better value than ATP.

Here's some of the science on the topic: The time course of adaptations to exercise-heat acclimation. Within a week of acclimation, plasma volume expansion occurs and heart rate is reduced during exercise at a given work rate. Core and skin temperatures are also reduced when exercising at a given work rate, whereas sweat rate increases. Perceptually, the rating of thermal comfort is improved. As a result, aerobic exercise capacity is increased. Of note, the magnitude of these adaptations is dependent on the initial state of acclimation and the acclimation protocol (e.g. environmental conditions and exercise intensity).

Used the Outlander with three bottles on the bike to cross a desert in summer.

Oh? I have group 9F starting at 10:15 here https://www.capetowncycletour.com/events/the-cape-town-cycle-tour

Does anyone know if double laps are possible?

First generation Varia seat post mount Hey folks, I am looking for the quarter turn seat post mount for a first generation Garmin Varia radar. Can't find it at the LBSs. Cheers and happy 2025.
