Music whilst riding is a revelation!
No issues with the Galfer rotors and the Berk saddle felt instantly comfortable. It’s noticeably harder than the S-WORKS saddle, but it’s definitely comfortable enough!
I’ve been struggling with riding solo as I just get bored 2 laps in so I thought I’d look into an MP3 player, seems like Apple don’t make them anymore (lol). I found plenty of cheap China ones on eBay but then I came across these “Bone Conduction Headphones” which allow you to hear music and the outside world at the same time, making them a pretty safe candidate for cycling! They don’t actually go in your ears which is awesome (I am an over ear headphone guy for sure and have always hated ear buds), and they’re advertised as having good bass, but yeah I fucking doubted that but I thought I’d give them a go.
Pairing them up to my phone was easy as, and today’s ride with Spotify randomly selecting Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx and Groove Armada definitely helped push me to do one more lap. The sound, as expected, is super tinny. If you turn the volume up too much the bass ends up vibrating on your skin, but hey I’m just happy to have music for my solo rides now. 100% will put together a cycling specific playlist ASAP!
