Mamang otep

ang tawag duon "Ghost shifting" pwede na siguro yung "shimano altus rear gear changer" kung mura na de kalidad ang hanap mo. op kors bukod pa duon ang shifter na pwede ding sanhi ng ghost shifting mo.

Hindi ba isang buong unit ang transmission? Yung shifter sa handle bar, iba pa dun sa mechanism sa sprockets?

Btw, how easy would it be to take a bike apart (para ipa-repaint), yung mga pedals at sprocket ba madali alisin kung newbie? Gusto ko sana down to the bare frame. Yung handlebars at fork natatanggal din ba?

sana makahanap ako ng exploded view pero wala pa hehehehe

May mga certain na pyesa na may specific bike tool dapat. pero kung frame ang priority mo. sa "Bottom Broacket" ka lang mahihirapan alisin. ito yung bearing set na nagpapaikot sa plato (dito nakakabit ang plato or chain ring)
pero pwede mo naman takpan ng dyaryo yuon. yung dyaryong tiktik at huwag manila bulletin.

Sa fork naman madali din alisin gamit ang regular tools pero sa headset, siguro isama mo na pinturahan para hindi ka na mag isip masyado.

karamihan ay ordinary tool na lang ang kailNGan. At mind you na huwag mong gagamitin ang medical tools mo hehehehe

napakadali nito kaysa sa Fossil burner kaya kayang kaya mo ito hehehehehe

Iba ang "shifter" sa "Rear gear changer" hiwalay ang bentahan pati cable hiwalay.

Hehehe. Thanks. I think I'll just leave the major bits to the expert. Gusto ko sana pagawang white yung Taiwan MTB ko dito. Sobrang basic, walang suspension, walang borloloy. hehehe. Yung mga tires street pattern pa. Nakakabanas yung ghost shifting.

to remove the fork, allen wrench lang kailangan, for the pedals (which is separate from the whole crankset-bottom bracket and plate/chain rings) open wrench lang but for the sprocket and crankset you'll need a special tool, i forgot what its called but it kinda looks like a nut na malaki, better nga kung sa bike shop nalang pabaklas and papaint

sa ghost shifting naman baka lang madumi na yung cables and yes the shifters is separate from the rear derailleur

**Psylocke** · June 21st, 2006 11:23 PM

special tools needed for:

1. bottom bracket
2. crankset, requires crank puller if square-taper type
3. headset remover to remove races from head tube
4. chain tool to remove chain

may also be difficult to remove brakes since they're thread locked.

hey!

just got a mountain bike (shipped from my relatives who didn't use it anymore). it says gt avalanche 2.0 on the frame (body), and uses shimano pedals ang gears. pero flat tire pa. and i got a helmet to boot.

i haven't biked in a while though. probably good to get my butt off the computer chair.
