    Tubeless

    I can't count the number of times i've come home from a ride (gravel, road, mtb) and the seat tube is speckled in sealant. Without being tubeless i would 100% flatted and had to end my ride earlier than expected. The lower pressures allowed by tubeless benefit everyone, especially those of us...

    Handlebar tape

    Usually about once a season. I honestly really like the Zipp service course road tape. It seems to be more durable than the lizard skins (which are super comfy, but they wouldn't last a cx season).

    How often do you take photos while cycling?

    I don't really like taking photos on the bike. I just tune into the music/podcast I'm in and watch the miles tick by

    Bib Knickers

    I find the knickers are the right length for a lot of cooler days. Sometimes the full bore tights are the play, but i've had pretty good luck with just knickers during CX season

    Will you road ride at night?

    I honestly think that riding at night is better. I don't have a varia light or any vehicle detection so i like being able to see the lights coming up from behind. Also I feel like the rear blinky lights stand out far better on the night sky than they do during the day.

    How do you hydrate and fuel consistently?

    I try for a more consistent food in situation, but that's because it's hard to shovel in lots of food when riding for me. I try to consume every 10-15 min

    Padded tights vs. Unpadded over bib shorts

    I definitely prefer padded bib-tights. The tights over bib shorts works, but i find the two materials are both extremely slick and i end up with tights falling off

    Skinsuit mountain biking

    For XC sure, but most of the time i prefer to be comfortable when MTB'ing. Also skinsuits are expensive and that makes wrecking costly (physically and financially).
