  @bodjok
  
  I ended up going for the Marin Rift Zone 1.
  naisip ko rin yung dropper post, kaso hindi ko feel yung geometry niya, nung tinest ko yung Siskiu D7 nung friend ko dito, naliitan ako ang sikip sa pakiramdam.
  
  So I decided to go with the Marin, pwede naman i-upgrade yung dropper post.
  
  Grabe ang mahal ng dropper post dito S$400 kasama installation. LOL. oh well.

  Hello mga sir! kapag nagpalit po ba ako ng groupset sa(deore groupset) sa 26er, pwede ko rin ilagay sa 29er later on kapag papayagan na ako bumili ng bagong bike ni wifey. ito po yung bike specs ng bike ni tatay na gamit ko ngayon <click here for link>

• gowueld on 28 Feb 21 @ 10:41 AM #

  Yes, pwedeng pwede.
  
  Ang kailangan mo lang gawin kung lilipat mo sa ibang frame:
  1. Bumili ng tamang sukat ng bottom bracket
  2. Check kung ano disc brake mount, flat mount ba? IS mount ba? Post mount? - Madalas sa mga MTB, post mount
  3. Check rotor size clearance

• GobiGobi on 28 Feb 21 @ 10:43 PM #

  ayus na kaya yung Trinx na worth 10K tamang pang sama sama lang sa mga tropa in case magaya magbike? nakikita ko naman sa mga post nila wala namang matindihang ride para papawis lang
  
  or baka may massuggest pa kayong iba na good for value na 10K?

  Anybody here tried buying a fork through on line like L*z*d* or Sho****? Is it safe if its overseas? Im contemplating on the range of 8-11k but havent spent that much on an overseas seller. There's a crack in the crown on my old axon 26 :(

  saan pa kaya may mabibiling WTB rocket V na saddle. Ito yung pinaka comfortable na nagamit ko. Anu ba competitor nito na maayos and mura?

• ricperez on 07 Mar 21 @ 02:00 PM #

  for helmet sa price range na 800-2.5k, Spyder brand lang yung alam kong maganda. pili ka na lang ng trip mong design. usually available sa SM department stores

• keith_orbit on 12 Mar 21 @ 11:10 AM #

  mga boss

• d3rrlck on 20 Mar 21 @ 09:15 AM #

  Pa NBD post lang mga kapatid! I've been debating between a gravel or a light HT since last year for a comfier ride. Glad to have picked my first MTB this week. Picture muna bago maputikan si ALing Alma! :D

• d3rrlck on 27 Mar 21 @ 02:11 PM #

  @ evincar
  Meron chief orbea sa ilalim ng downtube, hindi lang halata since nakablend sa anthracite gray. I like it, medyo stealthy, raw, and clean lines yung dating. Parang napupusuan kong partneran ng silent hub para full stealth yung setup :)

• evincar on 28 Mar 21 @ 12:56 PM #

  + black cogs sir panalo na to
  
  mahabang pahinga nanaman holy week daming plano sana,

• GerEdc22 on 30 Apr 21 @ 01:31 PM #

  mga sir, ano po ang kinokonsidera kapag magpapalit from 3x crank to 1x? Kailangan din po ba palitan yung kadena, sprocket at RD? thanks

• songerph on 02 May 21 @ 10:53 PM #

  Hi mga sir, question about shimano brakes. Wala akong alam sa bikes.
  
  Kasi may binigay sakin na mtb yung pinsan ko. Sabi nya onti-onting naging malambot yung brake sa likod. Ngayon pagtry ko sagad na sa handle bar at wala nang kapit. Ano kaya issue nito at pano ayusin?
  
  Yung harap na brake matigas pa at malakas.
  
  
  
  
  Ano bang klaseng brake ito? May bilog na disc sa gitna ng gulong.

  salamat sir. nagride ako kahapon going to tagaytay, although hanggang silang lang ako dahil aabutin ako ng gabi pag tumuloy pako. may mga checkpoint naman along aguinaldo and may mga pulis, pero mukang outpost lang naman. hindi sila naninita.
  
  thanks sir.

• localfly on 03 May 21 @ 10:58 AM #

  hydraulic disc brake
  
  
  yung sakin katulad din ng kay songerph, pero hindi pa naman ganyan ka-sagad. tinanggal ko yung brake pad, mejo pudpod na, parang kalahati na yung natapyas sa pad.
  
  my question is: magkaiba ba yung brake pads ng rear at front brakes?

• NormanABates on 03 May 21 @ 01:02 PM #

  Pa NBD post lang mga kapatid!

  
  
  ganda!

• songerph on 03 May 21 @ 02:10 PM #

  nacheck ko na yung pads sa harap at likod. makapal pa pareho. yung harap malakas pa ang braking. itong likod yung umayaw na haha
