MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[Phoenix67]

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

Japan Surplus Collector here. Started out with 20" folding bikes then slowly got a few MTBs of my own. Our rides are mostly on pavement and with Philippine road conditions, it could feel like a trail sometimes. Bought each for 3k then slowly changed tires to commuter (no "knobby"), replaced chains, cables and other parts when needed. All original shimano parts, One frame is steel/alloy (Rockstar) and other chromoly (Giant ATR). Absorbs vibrations real well - bulletproof steel durability.. Probably soon when i got the time and money i might get me a real custom MTB

Ang tanong eh ginagamit nyo ba naman sa tamang lugar ang MTB nyo? sleek tyres for paved roads fat tyres for trails/rough roads napakaraming bumibili ng MTB pero sa sementadong daan lang naman ginagamit.

I have 3 sets of tyres for my bike. One pair is for pavement, another is for intermediate (mixed trail/pavement), the last pair is for mud/loose gravel (knobby's).

Though, I get to use the intermediate much often. Pero madali lang naman magpalit ng gulong ng bike. :D

[poorprince]

me using slick/commuter tires (michelin country rock) since most of the time i'm on the road (except passing a short strip of dirt road).

sa katulad kong di kayang bumili ng madaming sets ng gulong ginagamit ko mtb ko kahit saan basta't kaya ng tuhod ko padyakan, padyak lang ng padyak

tulad nga ng sabi nila punta ka sa cartimar. yung 20k mo baka malaki pa yan.
may mga opismeyt ako, bilihan ng mga bike, may grupo pa! after 5 months..... wala na.
sayang naman kung mag-invest ka ng malaki tapos itatambak mo lang.

Ot: yung matandang nagchechange oil sakin dito sa gasolinahan sa caloocan, sa taytay pa umuuwi. bike lang araw-araw.

That's classic Triple Triangle Framed Hardtail (GT Avalanche?). One of the best rides to enter the
Cross Country Races. Simply because Hardtail Frames are much lighter compared to
Full Suspension Frames.

Almost 3 years ago the last time I visited Cartimar for a pair of tubeless tires.
Yes, I believe you can still buy a complete bike for 20k.
Get an Aluminum GT frame look-alike, Shimano Groupo (cheapest will do, just make sure it's Shimano),
Aluminum wheels, Thick Tires, Comfortable saddle, etc. and you're ready to go.

Get a helmet. And please, don't buy skinny bald tires. Those are for roadies.
If you do, isasama kita sa "Goon Squad"

Yep GT Avalanche. x-country setup. weekdays city ride, trails on weekends.

kung sa panahon nya pa, somewhere 25-30 ata nagastos ko. Obsolete na ata etong frame design na'to. Matagal na rin ako wala sa sirkulasyon ng MTB.

I suggest you window shop muna sa cartimar.
Note sa mga type mo, then google around.
Try MTB pinoy forums also.
Marami din magazines available.

type na type ko talaga yung maurice kung di lang fixie.

Dati merida gamit ko kaso di ko nagagamit masyado kaya Charles jerry nalang gamit ko ngayon.

[piscesboy]

ano ba magandang brand ng mtb?
yung mura pero matibay at maporma.

[LiempoBoi]

Ito Idea kung magkano yung mga "mura" na mtb, nabili ko charles jerry ko for 15k. Kung ikukumpara ko performance ng merida ko sa charles jerry, malayo silang dalawa. Mas maganda yung merida.
