Perfect color match of the frame and saddle! Just for fun, I did a back of the envelope calculation to come up with around 45s extra time on your 10 hour ride for that 100g of extra weight. Worth it? :) Toshi On Fri, Jun 21, 2024 at 11:27 AM Bill Lindsay wrote: > I'm a big fan of the Fizik A

Start with the size of the battery in your phone. How many mA-hr does your phone nominally have? How long is "one full charge life"? And how many more charge - lives do you want to get from your power bank? That should inform you what size to get. You say something about weight and capacit
