XCR is a good fork for weekend bikers....but mabigat sa weight and light duty sa performance. Go for the Rockshox J4 na lang...mabigat but heavy duty.

Twice a week kasi ako sumasama sa XC trail, so hindi sya maganda pang XC?

Rockshox fan kasi ako

Manitou R7 si also top sa list ko.

Baka mamahalin ang mga forks na gusto mo

Ayoko muna gumastos ng mga mahal na parts sa ngayon, baka masira ko lang.

I am also considering the Vision frame. 3.5K lang. Da Bomb yata ang gumawa dito?

mascheaper talaga dito, mahal yung benta niya ng suntour baka nasa 3k lang yan sa quiapo hehe

yup ok yung vision kinda on the heavy side but pwede kasi pang freeride na rin, it is under da bomb

medyo pricey ang r7 cheapest model is around 12k ata im not sure, im sticking with my 03 black hehe

after years of mountain biking, i've finally made the switch to road bikes. most of my riding now is on pavement, so i thought it would be a good idea to switch. i just plunked down good money for a Giant OCR C2, so i thought i'd start riding to work with it and get my money back by saving gas.

also, the american river trail is one of the premier paved trails in the country, and it's nearby, so i thought i'd take advantage. mountain biking is still my first love, but time and location have changed. i'm still keeping my old rig though, just in case i get the itch for single track trails. good riding everyone!

Naka bili yung ka-bike ko sa Cartimar, very similar to that, 1.5K lang yata.

Got myself a Giant Team XtC frame today to replace my K2 frame. Also changed the fork to Suntour XC with remote lockout.

My first choice was supposed to be the Merida TFS frame, but upon weighing both frames, I settled for the Giant since it's lighter by about 30%. But the price is heavier by 100% more
