Sounds like more than enough recovery protein. For aerobic recovery a 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein is recommended within 30 minutes of finishing. Then have a meal within 1-2 hours. I got this ratio...

For now on my rando bike I took the 32h shimano dynamo hub out of an old 700c wheel, built it up on a 650b pacenti box rim with Sapim laser spokes and it's rolling smooth as ever. I'll leave that as...

By the end of my first year of riding a 200k every month my foot expanded and I had to size up all my footwear. I have wide, but not extremely wide, flat “high volume” feet. After 4-6 years of...

Sturmey Archer definitely makes bombproof stuff, not gonna argue there. But the hub alone weighs 1350g. Maybe I’m more of a weight weenie than I thought cause I’m not ready to haul that much wheel...

SP Dynamo Hub Fail: I became a statistic

I probably put 10,000km (6,000 miles) on the hub in 2.5 years. I really wanted a 28h rim brake wheel for my randonneur bike so that meant SP or SON (Shimano only in 32 and 36 as far as I've ever...

Looking for good helmet-mount headlamp for randonneuring/ultra racing

What helmet lights do people use out there? I want to have a better light for the longer brevets and PBP 2023. For years I've just taken a sort of cheap Black Diamond brand headlamp off of it's...

I rode a B-17 for 10 years with no issues on a 700c touring bike on tours, brevets, and commutes. The only rewson I got rid of it is it started cracking around the rivets. I was very good about...
