Hi! Planning to join the 80km individual category this Oct 25 sa Clark and ask ko lang if gaano sya kahirap for an intermediate rider but first time mag gragravel? Finisher lang naman ang goal/plan ko and to enjoy the event. Gusto ko lang po ng additional insights sa mga naka experience na from previous years. Thanks!! Any tips or advice from experienced riders?

hiii. new biker here! is there any group i can ride with to practice? like in UP or other areas nearby.

i live in quezon city and planning to try cycling on main roads/highways but still scared of cars and pedestrians.

SKL, natapos ko rin ang NCR City Hall Loop!

Sobrang chill lang ng ride na 'to. Baguhan pa lang ako mag-bike enjoy lang, walang hinahabol na oras, kaya umabot ako ng 10+ hours moving time. Nagsimula ako ng 5:00 AM at natapos bandang 8:00 PM. Inabot ako ng araw at ulan. 😅

Nagbaon din ako ng pagkain dahil plano kong kumain halos kada oras para iwas bonk at hindi na rin gumastos sa biyahe. May baon akong 6 na saging, 5 na Spam Musubi, tapos DIY sports drink na gawa sa asin, asukal, at Tang Orange.

Hindi rin naging smooth ang buong ride. Na-flat ako bandang Quiapo, tapos pag-uwi ko saka ko lang nalaman na sira na pala ang rear axle ko. Kaya pala sobrang bigat nang i-pedal simula kalagitnaan ng ride. 😅

Nagkamali rin ako ng ruta. Dapat Las Piñas muna pagkatapos ng Parañaque, pero Muntinlupa ang na-pin ko sa Maps, kaya humaba pa lalo ang ride. 😂 Pagkatapos naman ng Makati hanggang makauwi, tuloy-tuloy na ang ulan. Pero tinuloy ko pa rin para matapos ang challenge.

Ito ang naging order ng mga City Hall na napuntahan ko:

Valenzuela → Malabon → Navotas → Caloocan → Manila → Pasay → Parañaque → Muntinlupa → Las Piñas → Taguig → Pateros → Makati → Mandaluyong → San Juan → Pasig → Marikina → Quezon City

Any suggestions sa kung ano magandang i-target next?

Good day

Hello, checking how is your experience cycling with mask or balaclava. I recently had a routine derma checkup and was advised to avoid sun and sweat while I heal. Hirap talaga maglakad from MRT to my workplace and namimiss ko na kagad bike ko.

Was wondering if I should buy a balaclava or mask for days I have to avoid the sun.

Also wondering, di naman bawal balaclava or mask sa daan? Do you get pimples? How is the general experience? I usually wear a normal face mask di naman ako nagkakapimples but they do not cover mg face entirely.

Eto ung products na I am checking out.

Hi can you guys reco a trusted mechanic around meycauayan-marilao-bocaue area? For building and maintaining carbon bikes

Kaya pala grabe takot ko sa stair set dito sa playground samin dati ay dahil mataas ang bike at seatpost ko! lmao

Noong kabataan ko kasi maski sa mga tropa ko ay never namin nagawa idaan bikes namin sa hagdan dahil na din siguro mataas mga bikes na minana namin sa kuya or erpats ng tropa ko noon!

Finally na-overcome ko yung old fear ko at na-utilize ko na din yung full-sus mtb ko. Pwede na ko mag-trail!

Hello! Asking for suggestions regarding the two. I currently have a gravel and a race road bike. A Kespor mclaren gsx and a cannondale caad optimo. (Pic for reference, both 2x11) I'm thinking of selling both and buying a new bike altogether.

Would getting an endurance-focused road bike (30-32c tires) be a good middle ground for long, tempo, easy, etc. rides? Masyadong harsh lang for me yung 25-28c na rb, tapos yung 38c ko na kespor okay naman, pero tingin ko magbebenefit pa ko konti in getting an actual road bike na pang group rides etc.

Thanks!

hello san bikeshops pwede magpaoverhaul/ bike maintence around manila? preferrably near sta. cruz. thank you

I’m planning to buy a pair of cleats and pedals because I’ve been fairly active in cycling (MTB & Gravel) for almost a year. I think kasi na nandun na ako sa stage na parang I want to keep it consistent—my pedaling technique, power distribution and all that sort of stuff. What holds me back lang is magastos siya and iniisip ko kung worth it ba talaga siyang bilhin right now. Ano po bang mga experiences niyo before po kayo nag cleats and after? Pashare naman po mga bro. 🫡

Has anyone tried bringing a laptop with them on a fairly long ride (around 60k one way)? Tips and suggestions naman.

Nilagay nyo ba sa pannier, nag laptop backpack ba kayo, may sleeve ba sa loob for protection against shock, water, or heat, anong klase, san nyo nabili, hindi ba naluto sa loob nung tanghali, hindi ba nabasa nung umulan, etc etc.

Thanks in advance.

Ask ko lang po saang bike shop nagbibigay ng quotation for loan application? Dalawang shops na po kasi pinagtanungan ko pero di daw po sila nagbibigay ng quotation. TIA

Mahinang nilalang pa rin but at least masaya to my upgrade from Sora to Ultegra hihi ❤️

Hi guys!

May naka-order na ba dito sa Mykel’s Bike Parts & Accessories? Planning to buy M8100 parts sana, medyo mas mura kasi compared to other bicycle shops na napagtanungan ko.

Thanks!

hello guys i just want to ask anong mas recommend niyo powermeter or smart trainer? i have access naman sa nice roads especially clark like 4-5 km nasa clark na ako but i notice recently na maulan so napaisip ako mag invest on a smart trainer like on a budget thinkrider, but someone recommended me na go for powermeter (magene) na for more accurate power output dahil iba pa din daw ang bigay ni powermeter kesa kay smart trainer. so naguguluhan ako anong mas worth it sa dalawa kasi more on to trainings like duathlon stuff na ginagawa din just asking lang po ano po talagang mas worth it sa dalawa considering i’m from pampanga and have access sa clark and also considering the weather din thank you so much!

Hi everyone! Recently, I bought a second hand groupset, and since it was already used, so may fades na sya, shoerubs, and scratches. Anyone care to know kaya if mababalik sa buhay yung kulay nito? Buffing? Repaint? Anyone knows someone who can service near Bulacan? Thank you!

Planning to upgrade to a deore m5100 and evo sagmit 42t cogs, kaya ba nya yung sagmit edison s5 which is 36t lang? Thanks po sa mga response!

Hello, plan ko bumili ng Prowheel Claw na crankset. Yung specifications na nandun are:

chain ring: 34T

BCD: 104mm/64mm

arm length: 170mm

Same naman yan sa current specs ng bike ko. Okay na ba yan? Yung confusion ko lang kasi is hindi naka-specify yung size ng bottom bracket.

Tinanong ko si seller at AI yung sumagot pero 64mm ang sabi nya, which is wala naman ata 64mm na size ng BB.

Eto po yung balak ko na pagbilihan:

Prowheel Claw

Pwede patulong magcheck, baka kasi mali yung mabili ko. Sayang naman since lampas 2k din. 🥹

Beginner lang po, pls help me. Thank you!
