    Hi- great video. I notice you got the XL. Can I ask what your height/weight is roughly? I'm feeling like the deboer suits are very small fitting and their size charts seem off to me. Was that your experience and did you have to size up multiple sizes?

    • @RealLifeReviews

      @@stevenyhe hi there and thank you for your kind words. I think they do come up small. I'm 5'10" (178cm) tall and weigh 83kg. I have relatively short legs, long torso. I sent Deboer my measurements and they suggested the size and that if necessary I carefully cut the legs (I haven't 😀). If you go on their website they list the relevant measurements and you can send them over, they will then tell you which size should fit. Good luck, I had a massive PB in IM Hamburg this year in mine.

    I have just bought this suit. The chamois nice but location is very strange. It comes up and around to the pubic bone - an area that I cant imagine anyone would need saddle protection from. As a result it doesn't go as far back as I would hope and barely covers the sit bones when in climbing position. I'm really hoping it's a me issue and I can adjust it

    You are quite the ambassador. Good job!! The whole concept of readyness i dont quite understand. I have added a 70.3 and a full distance for next year (june / august). I have input to invest 12 hours per week. Training now for 2 weeks. My performance in general is not bad. My bike ftp is 225 watts (at 69kg), my running 44min for 10k, my swim 1:55/100m. Im doing sports regularly for many years (im 44). Yet humango shows the projected readyness at 87% and my goal readyness at 69. i find that confusing and hard to believe. Also the events are far out. Does humango tell me, that with a year training at 12 hours per week i can still only reach a readyness of 87% or 69 (whats even the difference between these values)? I like to follow the plam but i dont get what humango is projecting and why.

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews Месяц назад

      I am in complete agreement with you over the projected readyness and current goal readyness. What's particularly frustrating is that you can follow the plan and see your projected readyness go down, especially with a rest day that's part of the plan. Two weeks out from IM Hamburg everything was 100+%. By the time I was half way through my taper I was 88%. Overall, I rate Humango but there are areas where there is still work to be done. Ultimately it provides me with a core structure which I can play around with. Your current level by the way is very good. You will have no problem with your 70.3 and Full - it'll be about your target times 😅. Good luck.

      @@RealLifeReviews im glad we agree on that. i was quite irritated. i cant say im too happy about it, since its 29.- a month (hefty) but i think i will keep it. it gives me some good structure and a sense of obligation to be compliant to it. without such a plan i most often train way too hard. i go running at a hard pace, do too many threshold runs or my cycling trip is all over the zones. so the plan teaches me to go easy and even if its just 2 weeks, i learned to appreciate going much much easier but regularly. its quite different to what i am used to and i think my vitals are quite positively influenced by that. also it gives me some level of elite-feeling as im doing quite often more than 1 training per day ;-) lets me feel like a pro, haha. thanks for saying my stats are quite well. that gives me a nice confidence boost :-) have a good day!!

    Hi. Would you have a recommendation for the following "problem": i can do long training sessions on the weekend, but only every other weekend. hardly ever two in a row. i can set the default availability only weekly. if the long sessions are planned on a weekend where i have limited time, how would you deal with the workouts?

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews Месяц назад

      @@99cya I know it's not a bi-weekly planning solution but if I want to do something similar I go to my calendar and delete a session then add in another from the library. I suspect the reason it's not built in (at the moment?) is that long term programmes will have periodisation built in and also often work in blocks (i.e. 3 weeks building followed by a recovery week) progressing through different phases (base/build/peak/taper.....).

  • @99cya
    @99cya Месяц назад

    i am in my free trial period for humango and i have looked at other training plans etc. i might be totally wrong, but for someone who just likes doing sports and wants to finish such an event in an average time, these plans and recommendations appear overly complicated to me.

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews Месяц назад

      @@99cya Hi there. First off let me confirm that I have nothing to do with Humango, I'm not an employee or ambassador and I pay full price for my package 😀. Having said that I think there are two aspects of complexity that are particularly relevant to you. The first is the plan itself. In this case it is a matter of setting the activities (number of, length of and which days) and your goal to suit you. This in itself is quite straight forward. You can then alter this as you work through your plan should you wish. The second is the data. Quite 'simply', the data is there - you can simply ignore it 😀. However, as you train I think you are likely to want to see how certain elements are improving, even if that just starts with resting heart rate for example. As you progress you can 'entertain' more data elements. For me almost, if not the, biggest bonus of Humango is that it gives you a very cost effective structure to follow. I hope this helps.

    I bought two of these and one of them leaked through the valve stem. Tried re gluing the valve, unfortunately the valve stem became brittle and fell to pieces, so I binned it. I have ordered another two TPU tubes which have alloy valve stems which weigh 36 grams but hopefully will be more robust regarding the valve stem. Plastic stem type to be avoided in my opinion. I’ve also bought some latex tubes which transforms your ride re comfort.

For bike packing and long days on the trail (MTB) it would be the Alien 2 - chunky and easy to use in poor conditions. Racing on my Tri bike it's the 20Pro (partly because I use the Dynaplug Racer Pro plugs and don't therefore need any of the 'tubeless specific' elements). Bike park/enduro days on the MTB it would be the 20Pro if I was carrying Dynaplug or the PT30 if i was using ordinary plugs. I hope this helps.

    for tubeless tyre repairs - do you think the tool with a serrated age is necessary? (that tool with a textured file that creates some a rougher surface for the rubber insert to latch on to?) I have a mini pro 20 - curious if that's good enough for bikepacking. thanks!

      I'd say it's not strictly necessary - especially if you have good plugs.

    I'm about to fit some Cyclami 38g ones I got off Ali Express... I'll carry a pair of butyls in the spares until I see what happens!

    Hi, are these updated versions compatible with rim brake bikes?

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews 4 месяца назад

      Hi. Yes they are but RideNow recommend taking care on long twisty descents and checking to make sure that the rims aren't too hot.

    They have 19gr 24gr and 36gr. You have options.

      You’re correct but I’m particularly looking at the benefits of the removable valve core 😀

    You said that the reason TPU has a low rolling resistance is because of its light weight. If that's true, why does latex have the lowest rolling resistance but it is heavier than TPU?

    • @RealLifeReviews
      @RealLifeReviews 4 месяца назад

      True but I believe the latex test results have something to do with how the latex interacts with the tyre. If you’re after purely weight benefits then latex tubes can’t be made as thin because the material isn’t as strong. It also is less consistent with regards to it’s air retention.

    • @chrisyoung8062

      @@RealLifeReviews That was the point I was trying make. The reason the rolling resistance of latex is the lowest, isn't because it's the lowest weight. I has to do with the friction within the tire. The statement about TPU being low in rolling resistance because it is light isn't really true. That's all I was trying to point out.

      @@chrisyoung8062 it's one factor, it's not the only factor but it the weight definitely has an effect. If you look at the BRR or AeroCoach data that does seem a pretty clear trend. For example, from AC, with Conti butyl tubes, they go: Race28 (104g) 34.3w - Race28 Light (78g) 32.7w - Supersonic (55g) 30.3w. So with the same tube type from the same brand it seems pretty clear there's a relationship between lighter weight and lower RR. Less material = increased flexibility I guess. Then different materials can be better or worse as well, and yes latex does seem better than TPU, with the very fastest tubes still being latex. But in the AC data the best TPU tube (Revoloop Ultra Race) is faster than their worst latex. From the data that is there I wouldn't be surprised if a theoretical 100g TPU tube would actually be slower than a regular 100g butyl tube, i.e. I suspect most of the reason TPU is faster is because there's less material there, not because it's inherently faster. In the AC data, Conti Supersonic butyl (55g) is faster than Tubolito Road (40g).

    For me Shimano shoes are not nearly wide enough, for wide feet Lake shoes are the bomb.
