@dro-cfr: Even not being T1D I have found that a change to a more fat/ protein based diet and less carbs I have a far longer fuel endurance than I used to have and do not need to snack during rides anymore. Worth the effort to experiment and see what works for you.

"First, there is this concept around perfection that consistently comes up whenever anything goes wrong with an ENVE product based on the price of our products. Let’s be clear, perfection is a myth. For ENVE, it’s certainly the goal, but we’ve never pinned a label on ourselves claiming we are perfect. Quite the contrary, we strive daily to be better in all aspects, but it’s a journey and we don’t mask the imperfections of our products behind a façade of filler and paint. That said, it puts that much more responsibility on our QC teams who are people and sometimes people make mistakes. Should Paul have received a rim with a fiber peel and imperfectly drilled spoke holes? Absolutely not. When we screw up, we own it and take care of the customer no questions asked. It is ENVE’s long-standing warranty and leading reputation for customer support that has forced the carbon wheel market to offer the aggressive lifetime warranties that they do today." Except that 'mistake' at QC costs the $3K wheelset buyer another 2-3 weeks missed riding time, which ight be critical if they are a professional biker (guide, reviewer, racer) unless they also have the money to own a back up set of wheels (which I used to have when I was riding ENVE). I have been riding on another brand's wheels for two hard years now and I no longer feel the need to keep a 'back up' set of alloy wheels to cover me for warranty repairs.
