MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[aDD_L]

hehe sorry my bad, didnt know alivio has 9 speed already, but should be the natural progression since deore and above are 10 spd now.

really not fan of 10speed, 9x2 is enough. guess shimano and sram are caught in the gear race just like cameras with their pixel race.

clutch type? what for? changing gears without pedaling?

i know honda pioneered this with their successful rn01 dh bike

Oo nga miLes, misleading/misnomer yung ginagamit ng SRAM at shimano dun sa clutch type. Purpose Lang nya ay to prevent/reduce chain slap/chain suck. More for protecting carbon fibre chainstays.

I'm using one right now, mas silent ang takbo at reduced and chain slap, although medyo mas matigas na yung shifter ko sa rear. Now I can sneak past my friends and protect my tomac supermatic frame, hehehe

ah i see, pwede naman lagyan ng chainstay protector and chain catcher. but i do love silent drivetrain, for me sign yan ng efficiency if sobrang tahimik ng chain and shifting, but i love noisy hubs hehe

kainis lang, for those not wanting to upgrade to 10spd, hirap na maghanap ng 9 speed xt or deore derailluers, shifters

Guys, anybody here knows how to replace those oilseals sa front shocks?

Links, tips, tricks, etc. are most welcome.

I was cleaning my bike this afternoon when I noticed oil coming out of the shock boots.

TIA.

*lowslowbenz, ano fork mo? Fox, SRAM and SR Suntour have videos on YouTube that might help you.

I got a Marin bike two months ago. I've been to Heroes' Trail in Taguig and Timberland Heights in San Mateo, Rizal. Looking forward to blue skies. =B)

Hehehe, oo nga pala, upgrade-titis is an all year round na sakit. Check mo din 11 speed ng SRAM (they call it xx1, and I think they are going to implement it downstream their grupo). This will require drivetrain changes (1x11 sya) with thinner chain (and alternate chain link thickness) and proprietary rear hub design to accommodate 11 speed at the rear. Rear derailleur is also vertically hoisted. This was designed for 29'ers and some 650b (26.5er?) are already adopting it.

Wow. You all have very nice mountain bikes. If I have time, I would have bought one or two. We have all forms of bike trails around my area but I much prefer a road bike. Sadly, my bike now sleeps in storage. It is a french made Look 576 with complete Shimano Ultegra parts. Will post pics in a road bike thread if any?

you can just post here. btw love Look frames, something about french really makes them ***y haha but a 576 is a tri/tt frame due to steep seat tube. was looking at a closeout 595 too bad hard to find my size. 695 too expensive! $5K FRAME

double post, sorry!

[joemarski]

ganda talaga ng mga bike trails sa inyo.
at ang dami ninyo! large group rides are always fun and never tiring. :thumbup:

napansin ko lang si kuya ( blue shirt ). is that a Triple Crown Fork ( right term is actually Triple Clamp
Crown Fork ) attached to a hardtail frame? para lang kasing hindi magkabagay ( frame & fork ).
TCC forks are downhill specific, long travel, and very heavy.
trail riding lang naman tayo at hindi naman tayo naga join sa mga downhill races,
so i suggest make your rides as light as possible.
ako ang napapagod kapag nakikita ko ang buddy ko na "mabigat" ang dala eh, hehehe.

anyway, enjoy naman si kuya eh, at enjoy naman kayong lahat sa mga rides niyo.
ano pa bang hahanapin niyo?

the trails... the rides... the friendship...
the essence of mountain bike riding.

Yup, triple fork nga. Magkaka-iba ang set up namin, may racer pa kaming kasama pero kahit na ano ang daan e game ang bawat isa. As of now, unti-unti ng nag-a-adopt ang bawat isa.

Thanks for the comment & suggestion Joe.
