The wrappers thing really grinds my gears. On one of my rides, I was hanging behind a guy eating a bar when he suddenly just throws the wrapper away. On a beautiful spotlessly clean path along the water with nature all around. I confronted him about it but he couldn't care less. Any time I think about it my heart starts racing because it just made me so angry.

I love that Chris is pointing out waste problems in this video. Like he has shown, there are often similar options that are less wasteful but just as practical. As a personal recommendation: there are actually reuseable foil blankets that have thicker material and are thus easier to refold and reuse. They are not much heavier or larger, just a little bit more expensive.

I love the calling out of single use products and wrappers! I’ve done gravel races and people act like throwing their trash on the gravel roads is fine because there is a clean up crew. Don’t throw it out and you won’t need them to pick it up. Route planning if rough sometimes. I am used to Iowa gravel and I picked a route in Texas outside of Austin this last year. It wasn’t the nice gravel roads we were used to at all!

IMO, the further you go, the more you need to be self-sufficient - and that applies for both further as in distance travelled over the trip's length, as well as further as in further the trip is from home. At home, I generally ride with minimal spares. 1 spare tube, 1 patch kit, 1 set of brake pads (Just because they're tiny for discs so might as well), a set of tyre levers and my frame pump. It's enough to get me out of even a fairly bad day on the bike for punctures. Anything I can't repair, I can fairly easily source a lift home and get down the bike shop at my convenience. When I'm bikepacking that list increases quite a lot. Add a multi-tool, allen keys, a spare gear cable, a chain breaker, spare chain links, a pair of mini pliers, another extra inner tube, a tyre patch kit, and a dozen or so assorted screws/bolts/other fasteners that are on my bike. That's because out bikepacking, I'm less likely to be close enough to home to get a lift, and more likely to need to ride for hours if not days more to get to the end of the ride (and presumably either home, or a train/flight/ferry/whatever home). If I was to ride an ultra, or be bike packing as far away as Malaysia (being from the UK myself) where there's potentially issues with sourcing spares and such too, then I'd bring even more extras. Things like a spare spoke or too, a spare tyre, spare cleats, etc. The really unlikely things to need, but you're absolutely knackered if you ever find yourself needing them!

You hit a nerve with the bar bag... Been using an Ortlieb ultimate 6 for almost 10 years for bikepacking/touring - no frame damage. It's pretty waterproof and has easy access for day to day light bits and bobs (wallet, keys, snacks, waterproofs, sunglasses etc.) Not the most "aero", but no worse than most roll bags - but a little more practical.

Like many of us, I started road cycling with SPD pedals and shoes and dumped them after just one season for the real thing ... in road context, it don't like them because I feel the shoe choice for 3-bolt is much better, and in the end we want our fancy shoes - but: coming back from my first gravel rides with SPD pedals (and reusing my 2010s Mavic MTB shoes for it), even after years of using road pedals, they are so much easier to get in - and it leaves the option for hybrid SPD/flat pedals if you want to build something like a week commuter/weekend gravel bike.

I also came into road cycling (via MTB'ing) using only SPD's, mainly because all my shoes were SPD shoes. I agree that 15 years ago the choice of 'road shoes' for 3-bolt was so much better than 2-bolt (so I too changed to SPD-SLs on my road bikes) but I think these days the market has changed, and maybe we have 'gravel bikes' to thank for this? I got a bargain pair of Shimano RX8 SPD shoes in a Black Friday sale. They are as light and stiff as my best road shoes, but SPDs . I'm not saying that I'd change back all my SPD-SL shoes and pedals to SPD, but there is definitely more choice out there these days.

Totally on board with everything you say. I use an aerobar bag instead of a handlebar bag. It's the same thing with two extra loops on the far side of the zipper and turned sideways so it hangs from your aerobars. Just as convenient, more aero, no paint damage. I do carry a CO2 cartridge. I've been carrying the same one for 5000 miles because I ride Schwalbe Marathons. All the convenience with almost none of the waste.

Garmin optical heart rate monitors aren't very accurate, and therefore it isn't a valid reliable metric you can use. That is basically how data workers, worse at some point means not fit for purpose, and on an ultra race if you are actually measuring your performance/recovery by heart rate, this will significantly compromise that over a heart rate strap. This said newer Apple Watches and Huawei Watches have seen to have very comparible results to heart rate straps. What you have really said is you don't rely on Heart Rate data very much for your application, and that is fine.
@tyrgoossens
@tyrgoossens 2 месяца назад
There's a great channel called The Quantified Scientist that does tests of smart devices to see how accurate they are. The sense I get is that devices that struggle mostly have difficulty recognising drops/spikes in heartrate. While that's an issue if you're doing interval training that's likely less of an issue when doing long rides. Personally I've compromised and gone with a Polar Verity, which is an arm strap, rather than a chest strap.
@SGWChaosteam
@SGWChaosteam 2 месяца назад
@@tyrgoossensThats true, the metrics which are not as good on Garmin OHRSensors are not really needed for sports application but play a critical role in e.g. apples health meassuring and heart dissease detection. My Garmin Watch and my different HRM-Straps are nearly identical in sports metrics while the watch is not able to detect an EKG. But that depends on which Watch you are using, since Garmin uses a lot of different sensors for different market groups.

One that gets me is people not understand the tyre system they are running and how to repair it on the road. This is the most basic and minimum knowledge you need to ride a bike for any distance. Had this recently on a winter ride stopped to help and the guy was ridding tubs with not idea what they were or how he could repair them. Basic stuff.

For you youngsters. Snickers were called marathons in Britain until the 1980s...they were rebranded to match the rest of the world. Hence the saying...it's a marathon not a snickers

The problem is not just wrappers. They are a problem. But it’s people. Anyone throwing a wrapper should be disqualified from any event they participate in. And then they should have their names publicised. And any product using a non-recyclable wrapper should be banned. It’s not cool.

@@jamesmckenzie3532 Baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, cleaning wipes and moist toilet tissues are not recyclable and are not flushable either even though some labels say they are. They are tragic, even by putting them in the bin, you are leaving it up someone else’s authority to correctly dispose of them. Just don’t do it.

@@jaypoly I use wipes for their intended purposes. I place them in the bin. Just to make things interesting, I let one dry out and tried to rewet it. That turned into a real mess. They are designed to break down in water, but I'm not risking it. Our authority will fine you if you flush them and they can trace them back to you as well. Yes, you can get industrial wipes but they are washable and they are even worse for the environment.

These things come in a pack of 10 which weighs over 400 g. Now during an ultra you probably want all of them but for a long training ride you don't. As they are individually wrapped, you can take along two or three and not carry unnecessary food around.
@russellspeight5175

They keep longer if sealed in plastic (they do both, I've tested it out), the idea is you store at home and remove the plastic and dispose before the ride.
