MTB (mountain bike riders) anyone?

[ozcity]

bang... errrr... crank brothers pedals pala ang gamit mo.
kaya pala, parang iba yata ang cleats ( vs. SPDs ).
galing talaga ng mga rides mo. :thumbup:

just me, mas gusto ko ang mga egg beaters ( Candys ) kesa SPDs.
easier getting in and out.

diko pa na try spd ..alin ba mas madaling gamitin?...parang mas ok ang flat pedals pag medyo technical yung trail..pag road or light trail lang siguro ang cleats...pero pag mga uphill na techical parang mas gusto ko mag flat...

Sa presyo ng XT, nakabili ka na ng all-new bike.

Alivio - 9k
Deore - 12k
SLX - 16k
XT - 22k
XTR - 48k

For a beginner biker, a Deore groupset is more than enough. Use your remaining funds to upgrade your fork. I'd suggest an Epicon XC air fork, around 8k. It's much lighter than whatever coil fork is on your bike now.

Eventually you can upgrade other parts like your wheels. A Shimano MT15 is marginally lighter than the stock wheels of your SGM bike, and it's more durable (not to mention looks much better).

A bike with a good groupset, fork, and wheelset will perform as well as much more expensive bikes. Actually, as with any hobby - Nasa indian yan, wala sa pana.

[sphinxz]

Casual city and trail riding lang ako dati.
I use the ff:
Gloves (full or half finger) especially sa trails
Arm sleeves (protection sa sun or kung madaling araw para di masyado ginawin)
Drifit top (para presko sa byahe)
MTB shorts (ayoko mag cycling shorts)
Helmet (a must)
Buff (para may konting filter sa usok)
Shoes

Accessories:
Zip lock bag (in case umulan or sumabak sa rivers)
Water bottle (Hindi hydropack, para masanay sa less water intake)
Cellphone (emergencies)
Pera (pangkain, pamasahe pauwi in case, etc)
Basic Bike repair tools (patch,interior,levers,multitoolkit,pump)

Tips:
riding: Always be defensive.kung di kaya, wag pilitin. Ikanga, if in doubt, dismount. Assume all other riders and drivers are idiots.
Meet and greet fellow riders. Enjoy the experience especially sa trails. Have fun.

Thanks sir. Napansin ko din na other bikers use blinkers and reflector belts in the dark. Also sunglass for eye protection.

[sphinxz]

Onga pala. Blinkers/lights din. I don't wear sunglass kasi nakaeyeglass ako. Pero malaking tulong nga ang shades.

[jut703]

Pag malapitang bike lang, I just bring the ff:

- Helmet
- A bit of cash
- Phone

Madali lang magparescue kung maflat or masiraan ng bike, basta may cellphone.

Pag longer rides, I also bring:
- Small bike backpack
- Water/gatorade
- Wallet
- Spare inner tube and hand pump
- Bike gloves

My bike always has rear blinkers and a flashlight up front, since I ride around the city mostly at night.

Old school

[Artur]

Thank you ulit mga sir!

Update ko lang tungkol sa mtb ko, napa tune up na siya at cleaning mukhang ok na. And yup may leak yung fork pero gumagana pa naman, hindi pa naman siya yung stuck na talaga.

Pupunta ako ng eco park next week para ma test yung bike (Tagal na yung last time na pumunta ako dun). Sana di mahirap parking dun tuwing weekend.

baka naman nabigla / nasobrahan na sa practice using clipless pedals . . . lol. . . .
nauso nga 'yang 1 x 10 set up. okay naman . . . looks cool at saka di naman masyado nagagamit
the other 2 rings . . . middle ring rin lang ang madalas kong gamitin.
will shave a few grams pa 'coz less 2 rings, FD, and cables.

just me, okay nang gamitin 'yung middle ring ( i guess you have a 24/32/42T chainring ), no need to buy a ring
designed for 1 x 10 use / conversions. di naman halata 'yung space na iiwan ng large ring eh.
pero kung meron ka namang stock diyan, eh di ikabit mo na. cheers!!!

Tsaka nauuso na rin ngayon ang 42T/16T combo sa rear cogs.

Middle chainring nga is ok lang, mapa-road o trails. Pang rektahan na kasi ang 42T chainring. Yun granny naman, pang extreme situations nalang sa akyatan.

gud pm,

can I ask for advice on where can I bike a good quality bike carrier for the trunk of a vios?
any suggestion on the brand and estimated price will be greatly appreciated.
beginner nga lang pala ako kaya as long as it serves is purpose ok na sa akin. saka na lang siguro ako mag-invest sa mamahalin kapag mamahalin na rin bike ko.

thanks
