wildthing, sa Arjan bikeshop ka ba nakabili? How much yang Ignitor?

[wildthing]

actually dun sa kabila...mga 1 km away pa from arjan... (forgot the name of the bike store)..bale after arjan merun shell...diretso ka pa ay caltex naman...immediately after caltex is a bike store...ang tanda ko ay tig P350...parang nakatawad ako and got it at P300/tire (during that time bumili rin kasi ako ng head).

minsan kasi mahal si Arjan but they do have newer model stocks most of the time.

try ko dumaan bukas dun sa 2 stores at tingnan ko magkano at kung anong merun nilang stocks na gulong.

Try Kenda small block eight....very good review

Very good din ang review ng WTB Velociraptor, that's why 3 of us have bought that tire. But it was damn too hard to pedal.

Hehe, hindi lang minsan, madalas mas mahal ke Arjan Hirap pang humingi ng discount.

boybi,

oo nga hirap tumawad dun di tulad sa kabilang store, mura lang pag non-moving stocks...yung nabili ko pala was part of the old model stocks kaya nakatawad pa ako.

I have checked the tires... price range on both stores I mentioned above was averaging P400 na...tumaas na raw kasi ang price ng gulong since last month.

Anyway masyadong maraming brands to choose - kenda , wtb, maxxis are available on the other store...

at kay arjan available din yung 3 brands plus michellin and one more brand na nas P800 ang price range....lowest was P250 (pero hindi ko na tiningnan kung ano brand nun kasi road tire design at hindi off-road) and highest nga was P800 (forgot what brand was it...nakabox kasi).

bad side, hindi sila (both stores) completo sa mga models of each brand...tapos not all width sizes are available (2-2.3 ang typical range).

yung nakita ko na maxxis dun sa other store (parang LJ Bikestore or LT Bikestore yung name) was the "SWAMPTHING" design
Attachment 8989 and the ignitor that i have
tapos yung WTB naman was timberwolf design:

both was offered at P400 sa LJ

yung kenda nila LOOKS LIKE the "small block eight"
Attachment 8990
pero medyo blurred kasi yung kuha ko so hindi ako sure.

sa arjan hindi ako nakakuha ng pictures ng tires nila kasi konti lang ang nasa labas tapos medyo maarte yung sales lady na nag-aasist (under paid yata yun o merun 'redtide')

Thanks wildthing. Mukhang ok sayo yang Maxxis Swampthing a, para akma sa username mong wildthing

Wala ka bang napansin na Maxxis Larsen TT dyan sa 2 stores? Saan banda pala yang LJ/LT bike shop if I'm coming from Abacan bridge?

[wildthing]

hehehe. kaso parang puro studs lang yung swampthing parang madaling mapudpud.

wala akong napansin na larsen TT unfortunately and they don't seem to know the models ng mga brand na dala nila (unless nakatatak sa gulong).

after ng arjan go straight ka pa papuntang bayan ng AC. you'll pass by two gas stations on the left (kahilera ng arjan)... shell then caltex. Dun sa caltex (2nd store immediately after caltex) malapit yung LJ/LT na bike store.

[wildthing]

yung kenda na small block eight na ang nearest na kamukha ng larsen TT
