Ganda naman ng trails sa inyo. Ganyan din sa amin sa Pangasinan.
Maalikabok sa tag- araw at maputik naman sa tag- ulan,
pero amoy pinipig pa rin sa umaga. Sarap talaga ng hangin. :cool01:

Yayain mo ang mga riding buddies mo.
Mas matagal mapagod pag marami kayo. :thumbup:

Sir saan ka po sa pangasinan? Nagbabike ka din ba? Sana makapagbike tau minsan.hehehe

Sa Mangatarem ako sir. And yes, I still ride my bikes (all MTBS).
I left 3 of my favorite rides there, 2 FS and 1 HT.
Mas at home ang mga MTBs ko doon, kasi doon may mga bundok, hehehe.
Kaya lang bihira ng umuwi, holidays o kaya family reunions for the old folks.

'Pag nakaka- uwi ako, I still ride, usually very early in the morning.
Before 8am naka- uwi na ako sa bahay. I have a lot of riding buddies,
kaya lang 'yung iba, nasa maynila na rin or working abroad.
Others are based there so we stil find time to ride together.

Ako lang yata ang pinaka- addict sa Mountain Biking.
Noong bata pa ako, madaling araw pa lang sakay at banat na agad!
Ngayong matanda na at may mga anak na, sakay at banat pa rin!
Hanggang madaling araw na nga lang, hehehe. :shhh:

I'm 5'7'' and 74kg, and running both tires at around 35~40 psi (mix pavement and trails).

Sa pricing napagiiwanan na ako, ayoko kasi dumaan sa shop, mahirap na baka magka upgrade-titis pa ako.

thanks sir. dimo ba mapigilan sarili mo sir pag may nagustuhan ka sa bike store? wag ka nalang magdala ng pera sir para di ma tempt bumili. hehe!

padyak ulit. napaaga nanaman. binisita ko yung paborito kung tiyo sa kabilang bayan para lang magkape pero diko naabutan, maaga rin umalis ng bahay e kaya umuwi din agad ako at dito nalang nagkape.

depends on the terrain kasi, im 64~65kg, run my tire pressures 40psi on pure road. on mix will be around 30~35psi. i run wider tires upfront than rear also lower tire pressure up front compared to rear

problema sa old frames compatibility, iba na kasi headset ng mga bago ngayon. threaded pa headset ng lumang frames. for bottom bracket, pwede pa yan maskina di pa hollowtech na bb. vbrakes pa yan, walang disc brake mount ang lumang frames. suggest ko save the money and upgrade your current ride nalang hehe. BI ako kaya sasabihin ko sayo mag upgrade ka ng fork hahaha

[piscesboy]

thanks sir. ano ba marecommend mong fork? tsaka magkano kaya?

[miLes]

thanks sir. ano ba marecommend mong fork? tsaka magkano kaya?

ah dami options. most people will get fox, around 36-38k. but if i will get another fork id get a magura, mas rare, looks better with their double arch design, same plushness with fox. price ganun din range

try to check second hand fox forks, dami niyan benta to upgrade. around 20-25k depende sa condition. pagnagupgrade ka ng fork, hindi ka iiwas sa lubak, ikaw pa mismo maghahanap ng lubak hehe

nagkakainterest po ako bumili ng MTB , may mabibili po ba ako ng 7-8k budget lang? what brand ?for beginner lang po and yun gawa na baka mag ka leche leche pa pag nag try ako mag assemble. hehe.

[piscesboy]

Meron sir. Nung binili ko bike ko may nakita ako SGM mtb mga 8k ata yun built bike na siya kaya pwede mo na sakyan pauwi. Dito yan sa probinsiya, jan sa manila sigurado mas marami ka pagpipilian sir. Pero with that price range meron at meron ka makukuha. Wag mo lang pangarapin naka deore. Hehehe.

Almost a month ago nang mamasyal ako sa Cartimar looking for new tires.
Yup! Surprisingly, you can still find a lot of pre- assembled MTBs that cost less than P10K. :thumbup:

MTBs at these price range are mostly Taiwan made.
Chromoly frames, 2- Triangle design, with famous brand name "stickers" slapped on them.
The Drivetrain may be of unknown brands but acceptable naman ang performance.

One advantage of buying pre- assembled MTBs, you can haggle for some "better" parts.
Ordinary steel chains clinks / fold, quite dangerous when you're pumping at high speeds.
Try to haggle for Stainless Steel Chains (DiD perhaps) for a safer ride.

I once joked a friend to haggle for a handlebar mounted "Hot Pandesal Pot- Pot Horn".
Hahaha! Despicable me! :hysterical:

[piscesboy]

sir jomar ano ba meron sa made in taiwan mtb?
mahinang klase ba?

Nice sir... Kasi kahit anung compute hanggang dyan talaga budget ko... Pwede ko na rin pa upgrade kung anu yun importante?

[Ry_Tower]

Kung 2010 pa yung MTB pero mga almost P280K cost of parts, okay kaya sa price na P150K sa ngayon?

[joemarski]

sir jomar ano ba meron sa made in taiwan mtb?

Hindi kung ano ang "meron", rather, kung ano ang "wala"
or shall we say "less"... and that will be the PRICE.

"mahinang klase ba?"... Not really. Just like what I've said:
"The Drivetrain may be of unknown brands but acceptable naman ang performance."

You'll find better answers when you start upgrading to "better" parts. :bike3:

[joemarski]

Nice sir... Kasi kahit anung compute hanggang dyan talaga budget ko... Pwede ko na rin pa upgrade kung anu yun importante?

When buying a bike, I "change" whatever is "important" before I let go of my money.

I "upgrade" only on the ff. reasons:
1. if I want a better or a different ride.
2. If I broke a part or the part is nearing the end of its life.

Spend wisely. Ride safely. Be happy. :thumbup:

nah, most frames are made in china or taiwan. my only usa made frame is the intense, all my other frames are made in taiwan or china-giant, khs, da bomb, argon18, even my cervelo

those less than 10k bikes are heavier with not so efficient shifting, they could be trail ridden tho but not as enjoyable on the trail as a decent spec bike

depends on the condition. unfortunately mtb's have higher depreciation than roadbikes due to use.
