Maraming bike shops din ang nagbebenta ng SRAM. Try mo dyan kay Arjan sa Angeles City.

what is SRAM if I may ask?

Yes, its the counter part of shimano.

Rockshox- Forkmaker
Truvativ-Crank stem handlebar etc. maker
SRAM-Drivetrain Maker
AVID-Brake maker

Used to be different company, now they are one, to fight the Japanese Juggernaut Shimano.

Lots of debate Between SRAM vs. Shimano. ITs fun hehehehe

Its S-RAM by the way.

And also regarding those Cyclometer, True its nice to know how many kilometer you run or rate your time. But those damn things are just easy to break. I had three Cateye already. I even had the OS 1.1 Now I just you my wristwatch and monitor the time. hehehehe
And make sure you align those things properly.
It might read your doin 60kph but in reality your only doin 10kph.

Balance it with trip meter of your car vs. your cyclometer. So I suggest you bike to work.

anyway base on reviews kasi mas sensitive yung coil sa small bumps kaysa air, the 400 grams weight difference doesnt really matter since pang FR naman yung bike

*iskulbukul, we will meet up at chowking san mateo around 730am, text me kung pwede ka 0917 5319415 =)

hydros are more maintenance free than mechanicals pala, lalo na etong rainy season, you have to constantly lube your brakes cables kasi rust aabutin niyan, pag hydros walang cables. in terms of braking din, hydros beat mechanicals overall. no doubt sobrang lakas magbrake mechanicals but it will easily lock your wheels causing the wheels to slip=semplang

my enduro 2, 5years na sakin di pa nasisira, all though cant say the same for its housing, parang kinagat na ng aso sa daming semplang bako bako na yung plastic niya and di kuna matanggal sa handlebar mount hehe rain or shine gamit ku yun, better test your speedometer sa known distances kung accurate, try niyo sa acad oval ng UP dapat 2.2km lalabas dun

*wildthing, nope not all cyclometers are wireless, i do suggest kuha ka nalang ng may wire, kasi minsan nawawala signal nung wireless

i recently bought a mity 8 for my road bike ok din, nasa 780 lang ata siya

my cateye enduro 2 is 5 years old already... it's quite durable...

the enduro 2 also lets you calibrate your actual tire rollout for better accuracy. i've tested it against several km markers and it's spot on. even better accuracy than my car's trip meter
