Jak planować trasy rowerowe z wykorzystaniem otwartych technologii? Czy monitorowanie swoich osiągów musi wiązać się ze śledzeniem przez podmioty trzecie? Zapraszamy do naszego przeglądu rowerowych technologii open-source!
I used to love #bicycle touring, but after years of doing routes most riding wouldn't even consider, having various kinds of "type 2 fun" times, and then COVID hit, I just can't get myself to do it. That even applies to supported tours like #BikeSTP! Being a "sitting duck" in a sea of drivers of all personalities scares the everliving shit out of me. :blobfoxscared:
During the pandemic and motivated by the psychological pressures of quarantine, I learned how to ride a #motorcycle, and went through various scooters and larger bikes to get to where I am now. I spent so much time riding street (really rural highways to or through natural landmarks) that I got bored of that, too, so I bought a dual-sport so I could, well, honestly ride gravel roads to places farther off that allow OHV and/or larger use. That dual-sport was a CRF450RL and was sprung custom for a much heavier guy than me, which made it super tall for me. :blobfoxsweating: As you can guess, I traded it in for a #Tenere 700, which I will be riding this weekend on a rural gravel highway that I've ridden before on a much heavier street bike. :blobfoxhappy:
#GoodMorning#BalticSea! I’ve got nowhere particularly interesting to go, so I’ve decided to speed along the seaside through #Dziwnow and #Miedzywodzie to #Kolczewo… Forecast has been unfavourable, but I’ve avoided rain!🥰 Once again felled from the #bicycle at low speed…🤦🏻♂️😁
An entire day we’ve spent on the #beach! What a pleasure, despite overall poor weekly forecast… Favourable water to air temperature ratio made the #BalticSea not so bad…😂 Dear Franiu crashed just at at the end…😅😩
@ssamulczyk dzien dobry mam takie nietypowe pytanie. Czy dobre się domyślam że jest Pan w okolicy wyspy Wolin. Jestem tu na gravelu ale ma problem z naładowaniem baterii w AXs. Ma pan może ładowarkę pożyczyć na szybkie doładowanie ? Może jakaś wspólna przejażdżka ? Kontakt do mnie to zbysiowudin2008@gmail.com
@zbysiowudin2008 Hej! Niestety, ładowarka została w Poznaniu, więc nie pomogę… Do Wolina mam ze 30km, jestem tu z rodziną i przejażdżka raczej średnio wyjdzie, bo wstaje na rower o 5 i mam ograniczony czas… Powodzenia z ładowarką!
#GoodMorning#Gravel! What can you do after #cycling until 1am? Get up at 5:30am and trash your legs even more!😂 I’m surprised with the power I’ve put out after 4h of sleep and no food…🙈
@vorsprung Well, my audax is around the family of 5 (kids are age 7, 5 and 1…🤣)… I guess 1/3 of the time I spend on cycling is at night and it usualy means I take all the „spare” time I can to squeeze a bike ride in… @cycling@rower
@vorsprung When my dear wife allows I can have fun, though. I’ve been at Eroica twice. First was the classic one, second a modern gravel adventure in 44°C!
I’m planning to do all sorts of “audaxy” things when the kids are more self-sufficient…🤷🏻♂️
#GoodMorning#Gravel! It’s gonna be hot today. By the time I’ve finished my ride it was already around 30°C and it was quite early. I guess we can expect a #summer storm this evening…😂🤷🏻♂️
The principle of the SCHWALBE CLIK VALVE, winner of the Eurobike Award 2024, is very simple: it works intuitively with a click. What does it need? The valve and the corresponding pump head or pump head adapter. With the Clik Valve, this can be clicked onto the bike valve with minimal force and removed again very easily after successful inflation.
It doesn’t matter which valve and pump you currently have - thanks to conversion kits for all existing bicycle valves and most pumps. To change the bicycle valve, simply replace the valve insert (Sclaverand, Presta, Dunlop, tubeless valve), for the car valve there is an adapter that is screwed over the valve (and can be easily unscrewed again to be able to use petrol station pumps).
The pump head adapter can be integrated into the pump head of current pumps (by clamping or screwing in), even with hand pumps. The Schwalbe Clik Valve can also be inflated with normal SV (Presta) pumps - thanks to this reverse compatibility, you are never at a loss in any situation. And SKS will already be offering its own CLIK VALVE pump at Eurobike.
Schwalbe will soon be producing the first tubes with the Clik Valve.
#Night#Gravel goes on despite my toe taking the colour of a a ripe plum. I already regret this in the morning, but also I’m getting ready for a 6am ride as we speak, so I will regret it even more…
#GoodMorning#bicycle! The #gravel grind goes on, as I keep myself properly stressed out and malnutritioned!😂🙈 #Cybina valley #forest again, as my calendar for today is as stretched as it can be!
@ssamulczyk@cycling@rower I guess they help us find you but they do kind of distract from you words. And I do love reading about everyone's bicycling shenanigans 🚴♀️ 🤪
I’ve been running 38mm Panaracer GravelKing tires tubeless on my Soma Stanyan for years, but the front tire I just put on has enough wobble to rub in one spot on every rotation. (The wheel itself is true.)
Two shops told me that the tire wasn’t seated right, but I checked and remounted multiple times and it’s seating fine. Even used some rubbing alcohol to lubricate the tire where it seated, but it always mounts up perfectly fine. The tire is the problem.
The second shop gave the real answer after chatting with the folks there for a bit: I should go down a size. It’s a real bummer, but even the Soma website says it can do up to 35mm. :blobfoxsad:
The only other realistic alternative is a new frameset, or at least a new fork, but that will have to wait for a while. :blobfoxgooglycry:
