Mountain Biking...freespirited, and not-so-complicated fun

Cannondale Rush Carbon?

intense 6.6, i was also looking at the santa cruz nomad kaso di ku talaga type yung sloping top tube niya

*boybi -the dhx 5.0 has more adjustments and is considered currently the best air shock in the market

*ferdz -try philippinecyclingnetwork*yahoogroups.com there are alot of roadbike groups there, i also do roadbike kaso for long distance and interval training lang and im based here in mla

Sarap magbike while raining! Buti may dala akong raincoat. Sobrang dulas and lambot ng mud pero buti kinaya ng tires ko. Hindi kaya mangalawang yung chain and sprockets ko kung sa saturday ko pa malinisan yung bike?

Btw, yung mga kasama kong naka disc brakes nagrereklamong humina daw yung brakes nila. While yung V-brakes ko makapit pa naman.

yup, that's what happened 3 weeks ago. pababa na kami then umulan malakas talaga. Imagine doing a 40km/h downhill (road) slicing sa ulan...

[boybi]

Oo nga, sakit sa mukha mga rain drops. And buti rin nakakabit mga mud guards ko at hindi tumalsik sa katawan ko mga putik. Sa legs lang ang maputik.

ayos ah buhay ulit ang thread

mga pards anu ba magandang fork mga between 2.5k- 3.5k budget ko....and what are the specs and features? ok din ba ang may lockouts? thanks in advance

[boybi]

For that budget, mag Suntour ka. Maganda ang may lockout para kapag nasa patag ka, hindi sumasayaw yung fork kada pedal mo.

yup discbrakes gets a little weak initially pagnabasa but returns to normal power after repetitive use, hm diskbrakes should be better than vbrakes on muddy and wet conditions hehe

just lube the chain lang muna when you get home

btw when trailriding lower tire pressure to 25-28psi lang

*ferdz np

*isuzoom sarap nga magbike sa ulan but it sucks when the rain stops and you're in the middle of the trail sobrang putik pagkauwi haha more laundry work for the maid

thanks, may specific model b yung suntour. ok na din ba yung mga 4inches of travel.

suntour XCR with lockout travel 80mm pwede na pang weekend rider and cross country trails. Upgrade na lang later if you are serious with your biking.
