Assembling a bicycle

[Yatta]

Most of these "jdm-surplus" bikes are actually made in China and imported to Japan. Be careful when picking a model because some use an uncommon wheel size that no local bike shop carries. Very important as some of these are 15-25 years old and tires and interior have gone brittle and cracked. If you know next to nothing about bikes, I recommend Glorious Bike Shop in QC.

if i will assemble a bike nowadays, i'll get an mtb hardtail carbon frame which is more affordable now. use the newer 1x11 or 12 shimano or sram groupset, a midpriced air fork and alloy wheelset with tubeless tires, a dropper seatpost, a carbon or alloy handlebar, flat pedals, flat mtb shoes and helmet to match...then im good to go. easier said than done...maybe i'll get a built bike na lang[emoji4]

Parang dapat pag naka-carbon frame ka, naka XT ka narin instead of Deore lang hehe

sa alabang branch ng decathlon, 1st week pa lang ng pag baba sa mgcq, ubos kaagad ang bikes and bike accessories sa kanila.

that's why i had to buy a top frame bag for my foldie na lang sa shopee. and mukhang mas napaganda pa ata ang move ko na iyon kasi mas madami selection and not to mention cheaper pa sa shopee.

ako naman if i were to buy a bike now, i'd go for gravel bikes na. mas all around siya compared sa road bikes and mountain bikes.

gravel bike is now the trend. i just got last month a cf frame road bike that can be fitted with tyres up to 35mm wide - can pass as gravel bike. [emoji4]

uso nga gravel bike ngayon

mahal kung branded carbon frame. locally available na mtb carbon frames na nakita ko (weapon, betta, msid, sandugo, ecnal) ranges from 14k to 28k, decent fork like manitou will set you mga 8k, groupsets like the new 11 spd from shimano and 12 spd sram nasa 16k, dropper post, wheelset and other components say 20k, mga 75k siguro[emoji4] btw, may mga carbon built bikes now like trinx and nasa 35k with 1x11/12 shimano or sram components. pwede na palitan yung fork o kaya yung dropper post and good to go na pang kalsada at occasional light trails

personally, for mtb i would go for steel or alum alloy frame/fork than unbranded carbon frame/fork. takot ako! [emoji28]

[monty_GTV]

Hardtail ba yung walang shocks sa likod ng frame?

yes bro

Hardtail = no shocks sa likod. Kaya hard TAIL. front has shocks and hardtail parin tawag dun, fixed fork tawag pag wala rin shocks sa harap.

agree with you, if you do trail riding then need ng sturdy frame. btw, alum alloy yung bike ko. but lately, naegganyo ako to build a carbon frame mtb. mura na ang frame e, unlike few years back na mga high end brands lang meron at ang mahal.

Yup, ganito din understanding ko.


CMIIW: for MTB

Full suspension = frame with suspension or shocks + fork with suspension or shocks

Hard tail = rigid frame (w/o suspension) + fork with suspension or shocks

Full rigid = rigid frame + rigid fork

Hybrid = full rigid mtb + road bike wheelset (+ drop down handle bar for some)

Ok bro thanks for the info.

Bumili muna ako ng bike saddle bag. Sakto lang ang celfone, coin purse and house keys. No need to bring a sling bag a long bike ride [emoji1362]
