Transcontinental Race No. 7 - TCR7 - #TCRN07 - 2019

Just ordered some new Compact chainrings. This weekend I'll see if my Stupid Low Gearing setup actually works.

It does have a USB cable out of shot.
Fully charges in 3h over the 4 of my other one.

Would be wary. Was riding lanes on my 38mm g one (all round) last night night and they are awful for cornering on tarmac. Could have went for more pressure which might have helped but riding wide tires at high pressures seems a bit pointless

Don't exposure do a USB charger? I've got one but it is on an old light.

How long does the battery last compared to your other one?
;)

The run time was the draw of these lights. Also got the silicone hood hand as a lamp if punctured etc or as a beacon I’m thinking...

They used to.

"In 2013 we introduced a faster charger for the Six Pack Mk3 (https://exposurelights.com/products/bike/batteries-and-chargers/exposure-fast-charger-uk), these are available for £25.00

If it is an older version then you will gain no noticeable benefit from the faster charger and so the standard smart charger (https://exposurelights.com/products/bike/batteries-and-chargers/smart-charger-uk) will do the job. These are £20.00"

Re: their USB cable, 2-part charger:
"I’m afraid we no longer have that version of the charger. New lights come with a mains charger and a separate USB cable."

They still do!

On a different topic.
Pump, what are the best options?
I usually use cartridges.

Bit large no?

I’ve never had any complaints before

They do a USB cable, they don't do the USB charger bit though. At least that's what he said the other week. See how yours is hardwired 240V and a separate USB cable? Mine was a 240V with USB plug end and USB cable.

Yeah realised we were at cross purposes

Well mini ones are a bit shit

Anyway I was being facetious. Get what someone else recommends

Topeak Road Morph, fixed to my seat stay.

I kind of agree. I had G one allround 35's, they are not squirmy like tyres with bigger knobs often are, but there is a hint of that. Fast cornering feels somewhat soft, but the grip is pretty linear and predictable. I did slide out of the road in a corner once, rather spectacularly, when I admittedly did have too much speed, felt the front was loosing grip, locked the rear to save what could be saved and slid out, maintaining the smooth style when I jumped of the bike as it hit the ditch.

This tyre selection is getting on my tits to the point where I'm liking the idea of carrying a tyre swap with me.

You realise that, if you do that, you are setting yourself up for all the 'spare tyre' jokes

I've carried spare tyres in all the other races :)

Just didn't intend to swap both out at once.

anyone with wtb exposure experiences?

i think they are great tires for gravel and not bad at all on tarmac in terms of speed... but they are not 'corner on rails' sorts of tires at all and the idea of an mountain descent on them gives me the fear

Not sure I want to try another set. Maybe will give the Panaracer GK Slick a go.

That would be my next choice if I wasn't happy with these. Some friends have the GK slick and they rave about em. For what it's worth I run the 36c Biancas at 55/60psi for ~85kg combined bike/bag/dork weight.

Bump this for all tcr noobs.

@yemble great website for route planning.
