  Ilang beses nga lang ako nabutasan hehe.

  May naka 1x11 ba satin?
  
  Not sure kung anu mas ideal sa dalawa.
  
  34T Chainring with 11T to 42T 11-speed cogs
  or
  32T Chainring with 11T to 40T 11-speed cogs
  
  Mahina ako sa ahunan as in lagi ako nasa granny gear. hehehe
  
  Yesterday nung ride ko sa Luneta eh nasa middle ring lang ako ng deore cranks ko (32T) mejo bitin sa arangkada pero hindi din naman papa huli.
  
  Sure ako na hindi ako aahon sa Wall ng naka 32T Chainring ako with 34T cogs

  @John:
  Tunog mayaman/tunog konsehal/tunog napoles/tunog mayabang = lahat yung pertaining na maingay hubs mo. May varying levels of ingay lang. Example, mas mahina ang tunog kagawad kesa sa tunog konsehal. Pero, lahat yan subjective, katuwaan lang. At habang tumatagal ka sa bike, mas iisipin mo ang padyak mo kesa sa mga tunog tunog. ;-)
  
  @realm/Benedict: Thank you uli sa ride sir! :)

• xiaosiopao on 24 Nov 15 @ 02:58 AM #

  @Arutha
  
  nasa 2k kasi spyder helmets sir. yung la bici or mountain peak brand pwede na?

• Arutha on 24 Nov 15 @ 03:03 AM #

  @xiao
  wala akong personal experience sa mga yan.pero since gagastos ka rin naman para sa safety mo, imo wag mo na tipirin.
  
  one way lang para malaman kung ok ang helmet. at para sa akin, mas gusto ko na yung at least may quality yung gamit ko if ever na mangyari yun.

• ronkx on 24 Nov 15 @ 09:58 AM #

  La bici maganda, less than 1k.

  long ride ba yan o trail ride?

• wallcolm_x on 25 Nov 15 @ 04:50 PM #

  wat do u prefer mga paps long ride or trail? and how long is a long ride ba?

• NormanABates on 25 Nov 15 @ 06:06 PM #

  wallcolm,
  it all depends on your purpose. kung gusto mo maging competitive/mag race, do a short but fix schedule program. kung gusto mo fun rides, kahit saan, kahit ano at ilang oras, pwede.
  
  doing long rides will force you to hit plateau. eto yung tipong kaya mo mag bike kahit saan pero yung fitness level mo, di na nagbabago. doing short but intense ride will maximize and increase your VO2 max, will make your body cope up with lactate threshold, will train your heart rate beat at lower level, thus making more room before you hit the max(parang oc lang yan sa memory, mas mababa latency, mas may headroom sa OC'ing).
  
  but why bother, if you just want to enjoy riding your bike, anytime, anywhere :)

• NormanABates on 25 Nov 15 @ 06:11 PM #
