MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[Snake1]

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!

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...

sa 20k alam ko naka da bomb na hardtail frame ka na niyan.
huwag ka munang gumastos ng mahal na bike. may nagbebenta rin mga 2nd hand na entry level na makinis pa.
baka maya mapagsawaan mo rin.

I have a 26er MTB, Merida TFS Matts 600. Been with me for 3 years. Plan on upgrading to 29er when I have the money.

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!

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"

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.

I'd go with the classic 26ers.
Just me, 29ers looks like an overweight ugly roadie.

Cartimar is the best place to be if you are looking for bikes/bike parts.
For 20k, marami kang pagpipilian, mostly Taiwan- made.
Look for complete bikes with Aluminum Frames. Chromoly Frames are tougher and cheaper,
but they are verrry heaaavy! Frames are the best place to start if you are weight- conscious.

I wouldn't recommend buying 2nd hand bikes/frames in local stores, incl. Cartimar.
Some (most actually) of those frames have "cracks" hidden the under the paints.

Wear a Helmet...
Wise guys wear helmets, other guys don't have much to lose.

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

We recently got mountain bikes and we plan to ride them on the trails soon.
I'm new to mountain biking, used to ride a BMX as a kid. I have a Specialized Myka and recently just buying a lot of accessories. Waiting for my RoadID to come in the mail so I can ride every morning (about 2 miles on the road) before work so I can build my stamina for the trails.

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.
