It’s a light lube juhal. It’s meant for riding in the dry. It’s normally the wet lubes that get the most gunky. I only mention muc off because it’s the one I like to use. But to be honest I’m sure any dry lube is good for the turbo because all you really need to do is keep the chain well lubed rather than protecting it against water. If you get a rag or some kitchen roll and wipe the chain after each session that will stop the sweat from corroding the chain.
I’m interested to see how you get on with the squirt lube. I’ve never used it.

Just orderet a shitload of spareparts and a new gadtet (I love gadgets)...a backligt with build-in radar to detect cars coming from behind, and it connects to my headunit too...very convenient
if it’s the garmin radar you have ordered you will be pleased, I have used one since I was forced of the road by a bus when I first started riding , I have the dedicated head unit for it and also connected to my garmin edge 1000 beeps and gives a visible display ,very good bit of kit

Lars, my understanding of zone 2 training is to do several months. The adaptions of your body allows more mitochondria development improving type 1 muscle fibres
The knock on is you can do the same base level at a lower heart rate or your power level increases for the same heart rate.
Once you see a plateau in this improvement in base fitness, its time to add in build and power development.
The longer you continue to build this base level work by either increasing volume or duration per week, the larger the pyramid base.
The skill is to time your progression onto power at the right time to peak for your season.
I reckon the ultimate route is what Martin's done and get a coach who will create a structured development plan to bring your fitness along and peak for season.
Having seen some of Martin's Strava he is making excellent progress. Come the spring it will be interesting to see how fast he has become

If weather permits, I'll continue to do Zone 2 until Christmas, where I'll have a week away from the bike and will get proper rested. CTL is now 84 and will grow to about 95 I think.

My varia radar works exactly as advertised.Washed my bike and lubed chain after every commute...can't imagine the state the bike would have been in if I hadn't.
