Always find it funny how the more extreme Bike packers tend to opt for an extra layer of safety instead of maximum performance. Reminds me not to overcomplicate things

@pphaneuf 4 ай бұрын

Worth mentioning how a cycling hydration vest is different from a running one: when riding in the drops, the running vests can be too long at the bottom (uncomfortable!), and the back can be too high, which can interfere with your helmet!

I use a Zoleo GPS satellite messenger device. It's an alternative to the Garmin Inreach, and it's worked perfectly for me. I do a lot of solo canoeing, and the piece of mind having it with me is totally worth the price. The loved ones you leave at home appreciate it even more, because while you think what you are doing is totally safe, they often think what you are doing is crazy and are considerably more worried than you are. It's also great if you want to change plans while you're out of range. Maybe you changed locations and someone is supposed to meet you there, or you decide to spend the night instead of coming back. I use mine all the time and now I think it's crazy to not have one if you are going in the backcountry out of cell range.

I’ve had a Leyzyne pump for a long time now - it’s saved my ass a couple of times. Build quality is amazing. It’s worth the bulk / non aero / weight. When you have cold hands, it’s raining, dark, and you’re hungry and tired - it has a solidness to it that’s reassuring.

Love my Lezyne mini floor pump. Absolutely agree to get correct pressures for touring (700Cs) it does the job. Additional hack: Gauge is great but a little tricky to read. Add a ring of insulation tape at the correct pressure for the tyres you're using. Pump until the gauge appears, simples!

the lezyne pump is very nice. But for me the grip ist to small. It hurts in your Hand when you put 7bar in your tires. Take also a look at the Topeak Turbo Morph. I used a dynamo Hub to run my garmin on brevets ( no battery Changes over 1000km). But you need to put a buffer-accurate in between. I Used an Busch&Müller USB-Werk. But there are other on the market.

probably not a great idea when actually riding. anything hard in pockets can seriously injure you if you fall. and you'll most likely be able to get to your bike if you were to fall of. When entering shops or when you're leaving your bike in general, sure, take it of the mount quickly and put it in a pocket

That Lezyne mini track pump is not worth it. The little foot and the tiny handle and being stooped over make it no more useful than a good hand pump, and the gauge is fucking useless. I have one somewhere and have not used it in ages. Get a frame pump if you want a better pump, or just stick with a decent high volume hand pump. It’s a shame really as Lezyne makes nice pumps, just not that one.

I see all these slick gizmos, but no one is addressing an issue that I have seen as an ex bicyclist now motorcyclist. I really enjoy the fact that on a motorcycle, I have headlight, taillight, brake lights, directionals and a horn. I appreciate the lights that some cyclist use but arm signals are pointless. From a distance or in low light, an arm signal does not work. Most people need to keep both hands on the handlebar, especially at slow speed and while operating the brakes and shifting gears. An all in on unit, handlebar with built-in battery, lights, directionals and horn that is all operated with small electronic buttons or sliders similar to what a motorcycle uses. People are always looking for a new product to sell, here you go, maybe make some money. I am sure that you will save some lives and make other vehicles on the road your friends again because they will be able to know what your intentions are.
