  if maliit sayo. you can still adjust seatpost + longer stem, unless sa trail mo talaga gagamitin
  minsan depende talaga sa model ng bikes
  
  like Giant Revolt. ang laki sakin nun Small nila haba ng toptube., kaya if ako gagamitin XS talaga size lang pipiiliin ko even if 5'7 height ko

• arkyn on 13 Apr 22 @ 08:55 AM #

  ^Tama, depende talaga sa model ng bikes, iba-iba kasi ang gamit nilang geometry. Ako nga naka large frame na 17" ang seat tube, 5'6 nga pala ang height ko.

• lucas03 on 13 Apr 22 @ 11:50 AM #

  yung trek x-caliber series ba eh sa 5'7 eh ano ang recommended size? small or medium?

• oonaakona on 13 Apr 22 @ 12:55 PM #

  ^Go for Medium sir. My wife’s height is close to 5’5 naman pero she’s usung Marlin 6 Small, maliit sa kanya. Gusto namin palitan na to Medium 29er instead or 27.5 pa din basta Medium frame.

  thank you sir oonaakona for the feedback sir.

  nababagalan ako sa 26er pde ko ba salpakan 29er wheeltset to? nag switch ako from 1*9 back to 3*9 pero bitin pa din

• d3rrlck on 19 Apr 22 @ 04:04 AM #

  @wallcolm
  
  Sukatin mo chief. 29er is 622mm in rim diameter. So kung mag-install ka ng 2.0 tire, that will be close 50mm in side wall when inflated, so 622+50+50 = 722mm in total wheel diameter. Check mo kung kasya sa frame at fork.

• wallcolm_x on 19 Apr 22 @ 08:38 AM #

  me mga nababasa at napapanood ako yung mga hybrid setup na feature ni Maverick sa youtube doable pro yung frame kasi na sasalpakan ko is mukhang small yung lumang voyager frame

  Yup that's why you need to measure exactly from the frame/fork drop out since it's a much more reliable method than comparing to someone else frame.

  can anybody recommend a good wheelbuilder in paranaque area?
  
  Need to re tension my rims. Had my nipples replaced in a known bikeshop and the tension isnt enough. Ramdam mo yung flex while riding and rinig mo din yung galaw ng mga spokes. Not too happy with their service.
  
  Any reco's sa paranaque area?
  
  salamat guys.

• oonaakona on 22 Apr 22 @ 01:01 PM #

  Planning to change my tire na from 29x2.25 to 29x2.1. Bigat na bigat na ako sa kalye. Haha. Isang brand pa lang nakikita ko, Maxxis Pace. Di lang ako makahanap ng white logo. Ano pa pwede?

• reezer on 22 Apr 22 @ 01:08 PM #

  ^check mo din maxxis na freeflow. Low rolling resistance din sya.

• arkyn on 22 Apr 22 @ 01:22 PM #

  @oonaakona
  Itong maxxis ikon or crossmark II pwede rin.

• oonaakona on 22 Apr 22 @ 02:34 PM #

  Thank you, reezer and arkyn. Check ko yan mga yan.

• arkyn on 19 May 22 @ 02:34 PM #

  Usapang mtb shoes. Sira na kasi sapatos ko na venzo, itong shimano xc3 plano kong bilhin. May dalawang version pala to yung standard at wide, karamihan sa seller ay wide version ang available.
  
  Tanong ko lang kung malaki ba pagkakaiba ng dalawang version? Wala rin kasi akong masukatang shop dito sa probinsya. Iniisip ko baka maluwang sa paa ko yung wide version.

• arkyn on 20 May 22 @ 02:54 PM #

  Kaya pala ang hirap maghanap ng standard version kasi wide version lang nilabas dito sa pinas. Wide version nalang bibilhin ko.

• okslang on 20 May 22 @ 11:37 PM #

  wide version lang din ang nakikita ko na binebenta mapa online or lbs. ok naman ang sukat nung wide. parang normal for me. di ko maimagine ang sikip kung yung hindi wide na variant kinuha ko.

• arkyn on 21 May 22 @ 09:17 AM #

  ^Good to know na parang normal lang din pala. Thank you sir.

  bakit ang hirap ngayon makahanap ng fully-assembled na mtb size 27.5 (M) na alloy na parehas thru-axle ang harap at likod na pasok sa budget category na 15K pababa???

• mudvayne on 25 May 22 @ 02:20 AM #

  ride naman tayo mga idol.

• arkyn on 25 May 22 @ 09:18 AM #

  @z3phyr2012
  Mahirap nga yan lalo kung brand new at air suspension fork pa. Pasok siguro sa budget na yan yung mga used bikes with thru axle rigid fork.

  Kahit naman dati pa napakahirap maghanap ng thru-axle harap at likod for under 15k.
  
  Kahit sa 20k price range mahirap maghanap ever since nagtaasan presyo nung pandemic.

• wallcolm_x on 26 May 22 @ 08:35 PM #

  iba price range tagla ng TA not unless 2nd hand

• z3phyr2012 on 27 May 22 @ 09:02 PM #

  Kahit sa 20k price range mahirap maghanap ever since nagtaasan presyo nung pandemic.

  
  
  so dapat ba dagdagan ko pa budget ko? mga 30k plus? kahit coil-type suspension fork, oks na skn yun.

  tumaas na prices based sa observation ko.
  
  ang mas mahirap hanapin Large frame.

  ang alam ko, pag white logo eto yung mga galing built bikes, yellow yung nabibili separate from the bike. pero same quality lang naman
  
  

  can anybody recommend a good wheelbuilder in paranaque area?

  
  
  sa loob ng BF may 3 bike shops, di ko lang alam kung saan may magaling, pero best bet sa wheelworks.
  cadence cycles
  wheel works
  switchback
  
  sa labas merong additional 2 (malapit sa sm)
  giant
  south cycle
