MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[Phoenix67]

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

I vote for MERIDA and MONGOOSE na hardtail frame.

[LiempoBoi]

how about for this one sir. 20k siya. mura naba for 20k since merida naman siya.
specs:shimano disk brakes,maxis tires,alivio drailure,shimano crank,8 speed

Para sa akin, hindi ko kukunin. Parehas spec lang yan sa charles jerry ko. Masama experience ko sa shifters na yan. Or tumawad ka tapos yung sukli, upgrade mo naang parts.

Sharing some pics. Still riding on the road and building up stamina. Hoping to bike every morning before work now that my RoadID came in..





We also have KHS 26.

Thank you sir. Kaya nga 20k ang budget ko muna. I just need a basic mtb. Ano yung da bomb? Style ba yun o brand? Hardtail yung walang shock sa likod di po ba? Ok lang yun. Nagbbrowse ako sa sulit sir. Yung mga description di ko na iniintindi masyado. Basta ang tinitingnan ko, malaki ang size.

Peace out!

you can visit shops at cartimar or quiapo, present your budget then let them build it up for you. kasya na yang 20k. 29er's are more expensive to build up right now due to scarcity of parts, for beginners better to buy a built bike baka magkaproblem ka sa setup by buying wrong parts

my hardtail is a giant xtc team, my full sus is an intense 6.6 and my rb is a cervelo s2. i ride regularly every weekend.

my height is 174cm and my hardtail frame is med. pagpunta mo sa shops try different frame sizes. ano ba height mo? better to get the right frame size kasi

[miLes]

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.

actually frame has little effect on ride feel. most hardtail frames will not be discernible provided they have the same fork, group or wheelset. baka masmaganda fork or wheels nung merida. even 5psi tire pressure difference will give day and night feel.

[miLes]

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.

hehe ayos lang naman mag mtb sa road. i use mtb more often on the road than my roadbike and im on knobby tires too, reason is mtb is safer, more agile in traffic, more braking power para sa mga asong biglang tumatawid and less prone to flats

Alam ko atleast shimano alivio yung groupset na kasama dapat sa ganyan naprice range pero base sa picture, hindi siya groupset. Parang mixed waang brand pati shimano.

Deore gamit ko sa merida. Nakalimutan ko size ng wheels at fork.

I beg to differ bro. Frame geometry, frame size and frame material has lots of effect on the quality of ride.
Wheelbase is affected by frame size and geometry. Bikes with short wheelbase are known to be more agile but less comfy.
That is the reason some MTBs and road bikes costs more than $10K. But as with most things, your bike is as good as your weakest link.

Charles Jerry or SGM MTB nasa 6,500 lang ang presyo mas mahal pang frame ng Merida tapos generic parts pa.

I'm also on mixed trail,hard pack,pavement,road. Supposed to be naka march yung tires mo sa trail mo. Pag naka knobby ka, medyo meron drag pag roads dahil Hindi continuous yung transition sa center pattern (designed sya for better hook up and shedding). So bale ginawa ko, rear ko ay small block 8 and front ko ay slant 6, Kung baga all rounder na setup ko. Tapos sa trails (soft packs, muds, sandy, stony), nakasanayan ko na Lang yung hook up ng small block 8 sa likod. No holy grail sa pag pili ng "all rounder" pero I try to find the best setup.
OT na, sorry. Sa TS, here's my bikes :




Magumpisa Lang din ako sa 20k, pero I would like to warn you, mabilis ka magkakasakit ng "upgradetitis". After a while, magkakaron ka na ng second bike na galing dun sa pinag upgreade-an mo, hehehe

i agree with you. but fork, wheels and group have a bigger affect, and assuming the poster's reply which i quoted, he was choosing two frames both below or around Php10k and no description of what fork or groupset used. so the difference he might have felt might not be from the frame but bec of different setup

hehe i also came to a point of looking for the best trail tire too and eventually gave up. since my handling skills increased, any knobby tire is acceptable except only on pure dh runs. im using maxxis xmark on my xc and minion dhf/dhr on my long travel bike.

you said it bro! upgradititis! common na sakit yan hahaha more common than the common flu sa mga bikers

+1 on fork, wheels and drivetrain.

Anyone rides with rigid fork, single speed and hard tail? Most of my riding buddies graduated from full/front suspension setup to SS and rigid fork. Unfortunately, I'm not that talented to ride that kind of setup.

[Verbl Kint]

I find that most bikes I see are over-engineered for the trails/roads they're used on. Bibili ng mga long travel AM/Enduro bike tapos Timberland or La Mesa lang naman ang rides. Or worse, ikot ikot lang sa UP or MoA.

Yung iba parang pang status symbol lang. They get the most expensive bike that they can afford but rarely do they get to make the most out of their bikes. But they do seem to have a lot of fb posts about their rides.

I guess it's the same deal with people buying SUV's to look rich/pogi.
