  • The custom maps community for wahoo is very strong. They update maps, and using OSM data, more frequently then wahoo. You can download maps here and then you push it to your device with an app called Elemantary. Find the read me in that onedrive folder.

    Getting the bolt into dev mode such that it can connect via usb is a bit fiddly, you have to push power and up/down buttons at once. But if you are persistent you will get it.

    Now having used Ridewithgps for planning I find it superior to Komoot. I find the yearly plan a bit expensive as I don’t use it often, but subbing to the monthly plan on occasion is a fair price imo. The free feature list also pretty rich already. So consider your use cases.

    Maybe download something like Organic Maps on iPhone for offline maps as a back up solution.





  • Cheers, appreciate your input really. Like you, one spirals into the rabi thole of marginal gains (i hate that phrase) quite rapidly once you take the plunge.

    That was an interesting video, again mentioning the increased of comfort going higher. I tried spotting the wheel set they use in the video, they look like Roval CL 50 Disc Wheelset , that has internal width of 21mm and external of 30mm. Theoretically, it would mean a 30mm tire would still be flush with the rim. They also seem to be a tad heavier then me, so i am not surprised they felt the 32s gave them better comfort. I think they really should have mentioned those data points as the optimisation seems to be a function of all of those variables.

    I couldn’t help myself, and did crosspost on reddit. I did receive a valuable insight that I hadn’t noticed before. Many seem to stagger their tire width between the front and the rear, for example 28mm in the front and 30mm in the back. By doing that, one is trying to capture both aero gains in the front and comfort gains in the back. It is believed that the aero penalty of thicker tires is less significant in the rear as airflow has already been impacted by your bike, legs, and bottle cage. I think it is an interesting concept I will likely try it out.

    Sadly, I have the 28mm mounted already, with fresh sealant too. So I think I will first make a couple of rounds with those, and then switch the back to the 32mm. It will be a mismatch in tyre model, as the front is the more supple thinner S TR and the rear will be the sturdier AS TR. However, I think i am not that experienced to feel that difference anyway.










  • Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.

    I tried the hass route instead, but can’t get it to work due to dependency issues once I try to install the supervisor package. Even though the aarch64 OS agent seems to install without issue. I’m tired of getting it to work.

    I have managed to install HASS on a Mac mini m1 through a Debian vm in UTM, that is serving its introduction purposes right now. Likely I will end up getting a home assistant Green at some point, but I don’t find the price that appealing for what it is. Or I need to shell out even more for a n100 mini pc.






  • On the first, dammit of course you are right. I measured the outer, and yes it is measures 95mm to the best of my abilities.

    Okay the 0,75-1% gives me some indication, and seems to align with thoughts on my crosspost on the Evil-Reddit too.

    Several bike websites mentioned that for 11 speed and up, one should better replace the chain when 0.5% lengthening is reached to preserve cog wear. Now I think i should take that with a grain of salt, where it likely is a conservative target. I do think i might benefit for getting a different chain wear tool with more granular indicator points.
