I used to think about the ideal rim brake solution and my conclusion was: 1. Ride a deep carbon rim in front with an alloy brake track. These wheels exist. There's a weight penalty. Ride a normal carbon wheel in the rear. This preserves most of brake force in the wet and dry while being aero and stiff. 2. Swap fork out for a disc brake fork. Use rim brake in the rear and disc in front. Cable actuated disc brake, if selected carefully, can be great. And no risk of overheating the oil or bleeding required. I still ride pure carbon rim brake because I'm lightweight, but I won't forget the options. 😊
@@fede1275I bought some shoe heaters, they work well. But yes, keep them dry in the first place is better. Although I really struggle to fit my velotoze
@@fede1275 если использовать сушилки то быстро высыхают, достаточно даже сушилок обычных с шариками. Правда если использовать обувь каждый день, ну или на следующий день то бахилы конечно спасут эту ситуацию.
You have made your bike great again!
Was most expected ride of the year, love cycling in summer rain 😅🌧️🌧️get home soaked wet😂 saved time on taking shower 😂🚿✅

@@mikeh6286 looks a bit complicated to me. I did a week in Mallorca with the Lun Hyper R45 wheels and the braking was great
A spare alloy wheelset is a clever way to be able to ride in any weather. Just remember to swap to "alloy" brake pads.
@@mikeh6286 I have 2 Ultimates, one for the performance and one for the commute in bad weather!
Buongiorno, Didn't you have a crash with your bad weather Ultimate and damage to the top tube? Will there be a video?
@@TH-wz9fw yes, but it is still holding on quite well. Not yet decided what to do with it
Ну летом бахилы не особо нужны, тепло, дождь тёплый, не страшно. Бахилы для холодного времени года хороши.
@@alexandermalyavin4030 it takes ages to dry fully wet shoes, I always try keep them dry

maybe next winter I'll but show heaters
