Assembling a bicycle

[kagalingan]

Pag may tools na madali ba magkabit ng rayos sa rim at magtono?

[x.mayor]

Hindi madali, even if you have the most expensive truing tool. It is a skill acquired over time of experience. At requires a high level of dexterity and patience. [emoji4]

"cartimar school of bicycle arts and trades."
mag-libot ka lang doon, meron kang makikitang nag-a-assemble ng rayos on wheel, at iba pang bisikleta...

If you are just goin to use it as a beater bike, don’t assemble. Just buy a built bike.

If there is a local bike shop near one's place dun ka na lang pumunta. Cartimar and Quiapo would be last places I would visit if you know next to nothing about bikes. Folks there can smell a noobie miles away.

True.

Natuto ako nitong quarantine lang kaka baklas balik ng mga gulong ng folding bike ko and from then on todo butingting na.

I plan to diy paint it nga sometime soon.

do what you gotta do so you can do what you wanna do

is there an advantage to building it yourself, versus using someone else's handiwork?

Some people enjoy DIY. The savings on labor costs is also a secondary advantage.

For bikes specifically, pag built-bike, usually chopsuey parts. Take the groupset for example - you'd get the equivalent of a front derailleur from a Wigo, rear derailleur from a Vios, and shifters from an Altis.

Pag nag-assemble ka, you buy the entire groupset as a set so your FD/RD/shifters and brakes are usually the same line with matched performance.

get spoke wrenches specific to the size you're working. avoid the ones that are like small donuts w/ slots in them

just like w/ car mechanics there are way too many incompetent bike techs so if you wanna build it right you just have to do it yourself esp w/ problematic builds like in the pic, if you'll notice even the nipples are different sizes.

ano yung dapat iwasan na "small donuts with slots in them?

and pag laymans explanation ang pagkabit ba ng rayos eh ikot-ikot hangang maglock or salpak-salpak. Kasi nakita ko dati pinapaikot-ikot yung gulong sa stand parang may tinotono minamatch.

ilan na ba yung nakita kong na-tamaan ng kotse, dahil piniling sumilong sa loob ng madilim na roadway tunnel? e.g., edsa-Q ave tunnel.
buti kung isa lang...
eh, ilang dosena pala silang nandodoon... bumukol...
