seems just about perfect, but 573 euros?! silly expensive. someone should put a large battery in a regular device. my 520 consumes 330 milliwatts average, yours should be under 200 milliwatts average. were either of these to have a proper 18 watthour battery like a smartphone does, which would only cost 40 grams extra, the battery lives would be ~55 hours and ~100 hours for each respective gps. i mean it's neat they try for long life with a puny little battery, but is it that hard to square the corners and put in a proper one?

I’ve had this same gripe with phones for years. Tbf my 1040 battery is incredible but looks like the 1050 has gone backwards not forwards. Guess there’s a price to pay for a great screen but like you say they could have gone a little thicker and increased the battery

@@CyclingwithRussi love the old transflective display, but there's a case to be made for mountain bikers possibly preferring transmissive when tree canopy comes and goes in quick succession. i think they're masking a supply issue by the way, as transflective displays are getting used less often everywhere. marketing will tell you it's an improvement whatever a change is, but i'd say a bike computer doesn't need vibrant colours or high resolution, just colours and some sharpness, both of which are adequate on 10 years old transflective displays. in the meantime colour e ink is slowly getting good by the way, they are more and more contrasty every year, but those are mostly large displays for ereaders. a colour e ink gps will beat everything. is 2-5 refresh per second is enough for a gps screen? i think it is

I have a 1040 but to be honest I think the Wahoo Summit Climb feature is better. It also requires no route and has a super elevation screen that shows relief ahead and allows the summit pro data fields to set across screens. Not a deal breaker though. Make sure you check GP Lama’s video on using IQ data fields on various screens the Windy one is brilliant. I think the stats is problematic. Stamina often isn’t correct and overall I have become more interested in riding with feeling as a pure club level rider. I do like to know my power, cadence and HR but that’s about it really. HRV, train readiness, body battery gaslight the shit out of you and just add that level of doubt when you feel just OK and HRV is down. The other thing is that Garmin Watches are fairly rubbish at sleep tracking which they rely on for lots of the stamina and body battery etc calculations. I think the 1050 will only be worthwhile if you want a better screen and follow routes a lot. It does look much better. Like all new Garmin’s though, wait a year for the bugs to subside. The 1040 was a disaster zone for almost a year.

Great advice there mate. I’ve downloaded the new beta firmware and going to test it tomorrow morning. Looking at the videos apparently the new climb pro is super accurate and a lot more responsive to the sharp gradients. I’m really enjoying the watch but that’s coming from along time Apple Watch user. It feels pretty good and records my sleep well enough. The train readiness I agree it should be taken with a pinch of salt as it’s all algorithm based and I know if I’m ready to hit it hard but also I enjoy seeing the data as I’m quite analytical with it.

With respect, the only reason why you have to eat "little and often" is because your body is not using the body's preferred primary energy, which is fat. You are unable to do this because your body can not access nor produce sufficient levels of ketones. Having to eat carbs often while on the bike proves that your metabolism is not working in an optimal state. Constantly spiking blood sugars will illicit an insulin response, which is why, we as a nation are in the midst of a diabetic and obesity epidemic. Reducing carbs, processed foods and sugar is massively beneficial in so many ways. Its also good for endurance , I did an 80 miler on my gravel bike yesterday, I ate a zero carb meal consisting of bacon and eggs before my ride and then nothing else on the ride, except coffee , some electrolytes and water. I was out for 7 hours including rests. A total calorie burn of over 4300 calories. I did not hit the wall or bonk. I had lots of energy. I didn't need to eat any carbs every 45 minutes to an hour. My body is in a state of ketosis, it is running on its preferred and primary energy source, fat. Either dietary or my own stored fat. The human body is capable of going for long periods while performing athletic and physically taxing endeavours. You are wrong about nutrition. I am a Carnivore eater. I have never been healthier. I often go out for 40 mile rides in a fasted state. My inflammation and recovery has massively improved. IMO, the way you are eating is not healthy and could lead to diabetes or pre diabetes. The issue is not just your blood sugar levels. I would get your HbA1c tested. Before discovering the ketogenic lifestyle I used to do the same as you with food. Its not good as the ore times you spike insulin the more damage and inflammation is occurring in your body. Look into the amazing work of ultra-endurance expert, Professor Tim Noakes who is world leading expert in keto diets in sport. Also check out professor Ben Bikman on the dangers of carb-heavy diets. I do not mean to preach but I know you are incorrect and misguided as I was once. Im a 51-year-old block from Lancashire. Please do some of your own research. I was pre diabetic & I didn't even know it. Doctors don't help. They only offer drugs. I fixed myself.
@CyclingwithRuss2 ай бұрын
Thank you for your informed comment. It’s an interesting subject the keto diet. I have tried it before but for my style of ridding and being a heavy rider I couldn’t get to grips with it I kept bonking as the effort I put out on big climbs is a lot. I’ve recently had my bloods analysed and everything was at normal levels with no signs of diabetes. As I said at the beginning of the video this is what I do and works for me. Just for reference though when I’m not cycling I eat pretty good wholesome nutrition food and probably 70% of the food I eat is unprocessed. Have a great day ❤️
@CycletheNation2 ай бұрын
With all due respect - that's not a 'for all' theory, especially for vegan / plant based diets (a lot of the best ultra-runners and ultra-cyclists are vegan). Even the lead nutritionist for Team EF Education says the easiest thing for anyone to eat is 'cake icing'. I did 8 days in a row last year, averaging 142 miles a day just eating 'food' - and could have continued indefinitely. Since turning plant based, I also have never been fitter, or indeed healthier.

@@CyclingwithRuss My bike journey. I've owned a couple mountain bikes and only road with the kids. Because of the discomfort of the bike - soreness, etc. I just assumed I'm one of those guys for whom cycling isn't a thing. I could never imagine riding for more than a few miles. This past April I bought the FX3 because I bike to work but was tired of using the moutain bike, and it opened my eyes. Body position on the FX is way more comfortable, and now I'm riding rides of 40+ miles. The FX is great for commuting and touring, but now that I want to ride longer and longer rides, I want the Domane for this purpose. It looks like the Domane is the way to go. I've committed to only ride the FX for the next 6 months because I just bought it, and I have two daughters getting married in the next year, but I know I'll be on a Domane at some point.
