cge sabihan kita kung meron na stock.

another difference kung bat madali ipedal yung bago mo bike is because of the hubs. i've used bikes na di shimano yung hubs and ang bagal nila. di matining unlike the shimano (kahit ung c-201 na pinakamurang model.)

do you mean mas madulas ang hubs ng shimano? meron bang bearings dun sa hubs?

hehe, hindi ba dapat magka effort naman akong magpedal para ma-exercise? pagmasyadong magaan ang pedal, parang hindi na ako napapagod.

bumalik pala ako kanina ng newton para bumili nung timer/speedometer. as kimpoy suggested, para ma monitor ko kung ilan km na tinakbo ko and naka ilan minutes na ako.

kimpoy, wala silang bike rack pang tire carrier sa likod. yung pang kotse lang ang meron sila.

that's the deal boybi, that lighter you pedal the more kilometers you will travel, nung kalakasan namin ng dad ko (that was 10 years ago), we used to cover an average of 30-35 kilometers of earth and paved road every sunday, yung iba pagod na pagod kami kinabukasan pa lang namin nararamdaman ang sakit ng katawan he..he

the farthest we've traveled is 72 kilometers, mas maganda kung marami, hindi mo ramdam ang pagod. magkano na ngayon ang speedometer?

yup may bearing sa loob yung hubs ang laki difference between yung taiwan na mumurahing hubs and yung orig na shimano. less yung friction sa shimano kasi sealed bearing yung ginagamit nila sa mga hubs nila. yung mumurahin kelangan mo grasahan every now and then.

**boybi** · October 6th, 2004 07:11 PM

so hindi na kelangan grasahan pa ang shimano dahil nga sealed bearings na?

**kimpOy** · October 7th, 2004 09:27 AM

kung sealed di na siguro, di na ako familiar sa mga products ngayon, pero yung sa akin suntour XCpro, may sariling grease gun tapos lalabas sa kabilang side yung old grease

**Kicker15** · October 7th, 2004 10:36 AM

galing ng ideang yung ah... pwede palitan yung grasa. yung akin may 2 years na wala pa din naging problem sa hubs. Nagpalit lang ako ng Bottom bracket kasi nabasag yung isa ko (bigat ko kasi eh) i bought yung high end na para kayanin ako.

here the pic.

The XC PRO hubset employs the Wilderness Trail Bike's GreaseGuard bearing concept to provide trouble free, low maintenance use over a long life. XC PRO hubs begin with a one- piece, forged, aluminum hub shell. The front hub shell is drilled through for the axle, then bored from each side to recess the bearing cartridges. The hub shell is high polished, leaving a mirror-like finish. The bearings are the Japanese IKS 6001RS that have been modified, so that outer seals yield slightly near the axle which allows older grease to be pushed through in the area around the axle, to the outside where it can be conveniently wiped away, without wheel removal. A small "Zerk" type fitting inside each hub flange permits grease to be injected into the backside of the bearing. The rear seal has been modified to permit grease to pass through the back toward the front. This same feature exists to re-lubricate the drive side bearings of the freehub body itself.
