pa but-in... nasolve ko na yata yung problem ng derailer/shifter ko... I replaced the chains with a thinner one... shimano chains na IG series na pang 7/8 speed.

this time is seems to shift better at hindi na tumatalon sa ibang gears... i have yet to try it on the road though.

pagminalas (at hindi nag-improve) baka pati sprocket palitan ko na rin.

Patanong din, I saw a Shimano na Deore hydraulic na brakes with combination shifter at P7650. Mura ba yun o mahal?

Dual action or paddle shifter ang tawag dyan. Hindi ko kabisado ang price nyan.

Yes it can. If I can find a long enough U-lock. But it might scratch the paint on the frame though.

I think thats too much already. besides ang tagal alisin niyan.

If its the dual control lvers with hyrdros, here what i think

1. If you break the lever, you may have to buy the whole assembly
2. Shimano I believe is obseleting the dual control levers. ( its about time! leave it to the road bikes!)
3. Hydros i believe requires mores time in maintenance, I have tried some and nothing really special about them. except that it is more expensive. A properly tuned mechanical disk brake (Reputable brand) is just like having hydros.

Its a good thing am more of an SRAM guy. hehehehe

i gladly appreciate your inputs sir maxbuwaya... I'll rethink my views.

what is SRAM if I may ask?

**wildthing** · July 4th, 2007 10:51 PM

yung cateye ba ay distance lang ang minemeasure? o kasama pati speed?

are they all wireless?

**Isuzoom** · July 4th, 2007 11:23 PM

sir please check sram.com ....they do fork and group set. main rival of shimano.

Depende sa model ng cateye...yes it is n odometer, calorie counter and speedometer some do heart rate monitor, meron din wired and wireless.
