Looking for not so expensive Mountain Bike

[miLes]

pinaka sikat is maarat sa timberland sa may san mateo, dami rin trails dun but you have to have someone na kabisado para magenjoy ka.

eto pa yung iba:
1. pinugay - cogeo ang daan going to boso-boso, mostly road to and maraming ahon, may trail din papasok ka sa puting bato. mahirap dito yung road lang kasi puro ahon tsaka mahaba. pero masarap ang bulalo sa may palengke malapit sa paenaan (tama ba spelling ku) mura pa. total bike distance from masinag start and end is 50k
2. mascap - bandang montalban nato, yung ginamit sa northface adventure race, puro trails to marami ring ahon pero may falls na maganda. total bike distance from aling norma sa montalban is 30-40km. ingat lang dito kasi lagi may NPA encounter
3. licao-licao-kaingalan - one of the longest trail ride here approx 11hrs bike to puro trail, may ahon may single track at may konting technical riding
4. sta rosa - one of the easiest trails, dito nagbibike ang rich and celebrities for those chickwatching here's the trail for you
5. maarat-montalban via pintung bukawe - mostly singletrack and medyo technical pero enjoy.

dami pang trails... too many to mention here, the best is to have someone know hte trails talaga. the above mentioned pwede mu pang iba ibahin ang route. ive been to most trails, we usually meet at chowking in san mateo for trails in san mateo and montalban. kung malayo na like sta rosa, tagaytay etc may premeet muna. hopefully we can get together mtb tsikoteers tapos dun tayo sa sta rosa

miles, thanks! dami pala pwede puntahan na trails. Pro the way you describe it eh mukhang kelangan ko muna build up stamina ko, mej matagal na din ako di nakakapagbike. Practice muna ko on flatlands.

hindi naman, dahan dahan lang
yung mga nasasamahan ku kasi mga hardcore eh kaya napapasubo aku
i started biking sa road muna kaso walang patag sa antipolo eh kaya nasanay na

marami ring easy trails, sa mga sinabi ku pwede gawing easy yan iiba lang ng route

dude,

try mo magsubscribe sa yahoo groups mtbaddict (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mtbaddict) and philippine cycling network (forgot the exact URL addy pero may link siya dun sa homepage ng mtbaddicts). masarap magtrail and downhill ride, used to do it every weekend sa paliparan and sta. rosa. once you get hooked, jan na start mo ng upgrades hehe. really good stress reliever and therapy to commune with nature once in awhile. miss ko na nga magride and sakyan un "baby" ko. sana makaride this long weekend.

[flakez]

sarap nga nung may shocks. nahiram ko ung sa tropa ko kahit ung mumurahin lang sa sm ang sarap pa rin gamitin sa lubak. malayong-malayo don sa luma naming mtb. hahaha

[ownertype]

yep excited na ako. mamaya meet ko yung seller nung MB sa cash and carry. kunan ko ng pics tapos post ko dito. bumili na nga ako nung blinker para sa gabi di ako matumbok ng motorists. sa 168 sa divisoria P50 lang hehe. lagyan ko ng step knot para pede mag angkas hahahahah!

[BoEinG_747]

bro Owner type ..goodluck ..
post mo bike mo ..then post din natin lahat ng may mountain bike dito or gawa tayo bagong thread
. sabay EB ba din ang mga tsikoteer na naka mountain bike ..

[1D4LV]

OT:

miles: we usually pass the sta rosa route, but my group (and myself) don't use mountain bikes... we use racers. i usually ride with them once a month. kung andun ka sa sta rosa-silang route going to tagaytay, kami yung may nag tratrangkang putol ang braso.

[miLes]

OT rin:

*happy gilmore: bihira lang kami bike din sa sta rosa, too far kasi. madalas sa san mateo-montalban area, anyway will look for you pagnapunta kami dun

*ownertype: hows the bike na? natry mu naba? tama ka always put blinking lights pag gabi hirap na masideswipe ng dyip na di nagbubukas ng headlights

[miLes]

OT pala:

*ownertype: pansin ku pala taga marikina ka, lagi rin aku nandyan sa VX boulder gym sa panganiban st lapit sa baytree

[swordsman]

magsuot ka rin ng proper mountain bike shorts, yong may padding sa tapat ng betlog...para di sumakit at mamaga puwet mo. lalo na at very basic setup ng bike na pasok sa budget mo. kumbaga, pansamantala lang yan since madali masira piyesa nyan, mabigat, matagtag...at madali mo lang pagsasawaan pag hindi ka hiyang
bagay lang yang ganyang bike kung paminsan-minsan lang at for short period ka lang mag-bike, at kung hindi ka talaga mahilig sa mountain biking.

[ian_rex]

buhayin ko lang itong thread. i just got my mountain bike a few days ako. cross-country ang setup. still undergoing restoration. when i got the bike, its in a very bad state. walang deraileurs, gewang ang mga gulong, walang preno, bad bottom brackets, worst of it, didn't like the color... though on a closer look, the parts, well i got shimano hubs(front/rear), shimano alivio rapid fire/brake lever, 7 speed freewheels, triple plate sprockets(plato) and crankset, Lizzard V-Brakes, Maxxis Mobster 2.7 for the front and WTB tires 2.1 for the rear, double-wall rims, MOB saddle, suntour front shocks and odyssey pedals. all for 3 thousand pesos. what i did is that restore the the roller- bought shimano acera, restored the alignment of the wheels on front and rear, replaced the saddle WTB, bought cables for front and rear deraileurs, new set of brake shoes, cables, new handle grips, drive chains. planning to buy new sets of rims, disc ready hubs, new tires.

actually, something to look forward to during my weekends- even after office to unwind... na-mpluwesyahan ako ng brother ko, na may freeride na MTB...

If you're not going to hit any serious XC trail there's no need to get disc brakes.

[Isuzoom]

For 23k? I will get the Giant Iguana at 26k lang brand new a lahat. good frame SL aluxx na.

[ian_rex]

actually, medyo malapit ko na palitan yung rims saka yung hubs kaya naisip ko magkabit ng discs. i still might want to consider hitting XC trailing after my project's done.

[miLes]

2.7 tires are too much for xc lang. 2.1 is just right, dont be influence by your bro's FR bike if you're not into freeriding, they're both different disciplines
fyi your suntour wont make it past 3ft drops but its good enough for xc riding

you're right in getting a diskbrake ready hubs, this will save you money when you've decided to get diskbrakes soon. take note of the rims thats you're getting, they might be for diskbrakes only...mapipilitan ka magdiskbrake nyan hehe

if you're done with your project pm me, we're always on the trails on weekends goodluck!

Depende sa suntour mo. at depende sa weight mo Suntour is coming back. And its tough and CHEAP Ive done some drop with it. no problem.

Ive purchase 3 suntour forks already and they get the job done.

A suntour fork can cost you P1500 to PP3000
