In all my years of , I've never found a great solution for cold weather. If I bundle up so I'm not chilled, then I soak everything with sweat in short order. If I wear less, then I freeze. I've tried Merino wool, synthetics (Gore, Event, etc.), and so on, but nothing works well enough for me.

Sadly, that means I don't do anything exciting on the during the coldest part of the year. Just my daily local loop. :blobfoxsad:

forgottenthirst,

@tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes I find I have a crazy steep temp gradient with almost any aerobic exercise and chronically overdress, so this makes sense to me

@tk @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes i warm the absolute hell out of my hands and feet before going out but for bicycling especially it’s been awhile. Want access to a mountain bike with nice wide tyres for actual snow.

@ssamulczyk Winter months are the hardest... but doing something is better than nothing... Forza!

ssamulczyk,

@adamshutes I’m fine with cycling, it’s other things that pin me down and drain me completely…😔

Is it reasonable to use an inner tube to smooth out tubeless rim tape in the case of leaks? @cycling @biketooter @mastobikes

(I'll retape it if it doesn't work out.)

@tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com avatar

So it didn't quite pan out, but it did reveal "install a tube" as a great way to seat the bead of the tire during tubeless setup! @biketooter @cycling @mastobikes

I’ve switched to a smart trainer from rollers some time ago and it has been life-changing choice. I mean, the noise is gone, my wife is less annoyed…

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower During the summers here, the heat at home is nowhere near as bad as the heat outdoors, even in my unconditioned garage (where I have my erg).

ssamulczyk,

@adamrice Oh there is no way I’m doing trainer in the summer… I ride at home only in winter and only when it’s unbearably wet. Cold doesn’t bother me, freezing rain does… As soon as it’s acceptable, I choose to ride outside… @cycling @rower

Considering handlebar covers/mittens for doing updates in cold weather. They're quite pricey though. Would they help?

It's fairly slow travel, with frequent stops near the footway=sidewalk to record data on the phone. Are they any good for that sort of thing, if I use them with a pair of insulated fingerless gloves underneath? @bikes @mastobikes @cycling

@achadwick @bikes @mastobikes @cycling

I use a pair of Wobs for biking around in the cold and at ~32(f) I don't even need a pair of gloves on underneath. They're amazing.

! The cadence (pedalling speed) reflects my current enthusiasm for life!🤡 I’m doing it, but man… Barely find the mental strength to do so… Mundane OSH (BHP) training did not help… @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower I pedal at such a slow cadence. I have to put real effort in to spin at about 95rpm. I'm more a Jan Ullrich grinding the gears rider than a Chris Froome whirl the pedals like the chain has come off one.

ssamulczyk,

@arratoon I usually go around 90rpm, but indoor cycling is so mundane, I find it more and more difficult to motivate myself to do it… So, cadence reflects my passion for it…🤣 @cycling @rower

Whether or not disc brakes are “better” than rim brakes, disc brakes definitely require less skill to use effectively in more conditions.

@LabSpokane
If you are talking about the average rider, they take their bike to the shop to get the pads replaced, but only at the point where they are making grinding noises or not working properly. Hydraulic discs self-adjust through the life of the pad, so they stay close to as-new performance right up until they're almost completely worn out, while rim or cable discs require constant adjustment to stay at optimum performance.

! Today I joined my club group ride! Only 2 people came, me included…🤡 We decided to take it easy, but of course we started to half-wheel and bait each other into 800W sprints…🤷🏻‍♂️😁 It was still fun, though. Nice to have someone to talk to!🥰 @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk @cycling I start off with mesh vest, jersey, arm warmers and Primaloft jacket, then after 20 minutes I’m down to the vest. I mean, I’m wearing bibs too… 👀

ssamulczyk,

@arratoon Sounds complicated but still quite acceptable… If I start in a jersey it’s soaking wet in 5 minutes… Everything has its pros and cons…🤷🏻‍♂️ I’d have to invest in a better fan… Wahoo Headwind looks nice but practicality calls for something more “multipurpose”…@cycling

@ssamulczyk @cycling @rower 900 watts is a lot even for just a few seconds!

ssamulczyk,

@MOyster I know! I can do that outside, throwing the bike around a lot. I’m less convinced to do so with a bike pinned in place to a trainer… I’m sure I will try to go harder many times in the future…😂 @cycling @rower

@ssamulczyk I just did my first Zwift workout the other day swapping from a Tacx Neo to the Kickr Core and it is SO QUIET in comparison... I dunno how I put up with the whine before!

ssamulczyk,

@refreshingapathy I only have comparison to rollers, which are just horrendous… Anything better than that gets to pass as acceptable!🫣 They have some pros, though. I’ve learned to ride with no hands on the bars (could do it outside, but it’s extra hard on rollers) and drink from a bottle during workout and my bike control went off the charts. I sometimes miss that!🙈
