MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[theshepherd]

Thank you mga sirs. Anu yung 29er? Yun ang dapat nakatatak sa frame di po ba? Punta ako Cartimar sa weekend. Mga surplus ba dun? Wala talaga ako alam masyado sa mtb's. Kasi lugi ako pag nag kotse papunta sa work. 3kms lang. Kaya magbbike nalang ako. Budget ko muna mga 20k. Sa tingin ko may maganda nako makukuha ng mtb.

Peace out!

20K is just about right for a starter bike. As you go deeper and make it into a hobby, that would be the time to upgrade on parts, etc. :D

29er means 29" ang size ng gulong. Yung regular is just 26".

I'm not sure if pasok sa budget mo ang 29er. Pwede siguro pang single speed. Hindi na rin kasi ako updated sa prices ng mga bikes.

Eto dati kong bike (specialized xc pro bike frame):


Then pinalitan ko ng Turner 5spot, eto na siya a few months ago:


Pero last month pinalitan ko na ang manibela at stem

Maganda magbike, mahirap lang maging addict sa upgrade tulad ko

[safeorigin]

as promised, here's the climb section



and no, I won't post my first run of stage A. too embarrassing. went over the bar... :tongue:

while not a mountain bike, I have a masochistic love affair with climbs

Pa suggest naman po ng size ng mtb para sa height ko, 6'1" po ako..

yeah as expected these are steel beaded. an the sidewalls are ridiculously thick like halfway between the thickness of bicycle tires and light-moto tires. i just wanted to see how well they would stand up to abuse. i'm going to beat the crap out of these tires :D

i'm 5'11" and i like Large, 19" to 20". since you're 6-1 you might be better off w/ XL. take note these are just general rules. different bikes have different sizing schemes, different standovers, different effective top tubes, etc even in the same size class

btw don't confuse frame size w/ wheel size. e.g. with 26" wheels you have XS, S, M, L, XL frame sizes

Used to be kinda harcore on the mtb scene many years ago... bike to work everyday for 3 years..... average distance was 30kms round trip.. tapos long ride pa in the weekends... It was a very healthy lifestyle.. kahit na last meal type ang kain ko then.... I had a Diamondback FSand Bianchi FS then..

bike frames is where you will need mke the right choice. Bike frames come in XS to XL szes.. the XL sizes have a top tube of 19 inches and thats about the right size for you.. I think there may be larger sizes available... its important that you build the bike to fit you.. same as the length of the stem/ handle bars etc....

20k is not quite there yet.. for that price you'de get an entry level hardtail frame with entry level parts too.... spend a bit more on the frame.. yung parts naman can be upgraded/ traded eaily...

HTH...
