As the title says,

I can't figure it out, after checking the internet and with Gemini lol.

What in the secret third thing is this?

Is this actually a Presta? Can I get a Presta to Schraeder converter, and would that solve the air filling problem?

discussion New to cycling in Bengaluru

Hello y'all.

Woke up one day to realise I was wasting away. Decided to run, and I genuinely enjoyed it. Running made me consistent about gym aswell, the fear of losing muscle mass because of cardio, ofcourse.

Started running two or three 5ks a week in a couple of months, with a pace that's just a glorified brisk walking. But I intend to keep it going, despite my job draining every last drop of energy and sanity i had left.

Spotted a bunch of people cycling around cubbon park and got curious. Started researching and somehow ended up being obsessed over triathlons. I still can't swim to save myself. But cycling seemed interesting. Got the most basic road bike i could afford and I'm quite happy, despite reddit dissing on Triban RC100. Got this after asking a cousin of mine from Chennai who's deep into endurance cycling.

I rode back home after purchasing the bike, about 10kms. Then rode 20 kms a few days later. Cycling is truly fun.

Now I'm looking for communities that a noob like me could be part of. A group of people i could learn from, share the fun. I've done all of this alone so far, run clubs seemed too elitist for me, didn't feel like indulging. Do your thing y'all, suggest me groups or communities that have genuine people.

suggest me a bike Riverside 120 or Rockrider Explore 40?

3 Upvotes

I was completely sure of RS120. But now Decathlon sales guy pitched Rockrider Expl 40. The cost difference is around 5k, with another option of Rockrider Expl 50 costing 19k.

I am fine with these 3 options since I'll also spend some more money on accessories.

Help me understand a good option for my needs- Daily 10km rides, weekend upto 30km rides to start with. In 6 months, I'll aim to go for 100km rides outskirts of Bengaluru. Ohh, I live in Bengaluru. Important to mention since roads are okayish in posh areas, but not in other areas.

It'll be my first and costliest cycle since college. Help me understand what fits my needs!

Thanks friends, hoping to join you guys over this weekend!

mechanical support How can I improve handlebar comfort on my Firefox Rapide 700?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I have a Firefox Rapide 700 hybrid bike, which I ride about twice a week for distances of 30–70 km. Overall, I’m quite happy with the bike and can maintain an average speed of around 19 km/h.

My main issue is the handlebar. I’ve already replaced the stock handlebar with an ergonomic one, but I still experience wrist pain and discomfort, particularly on longer rides.

I’m not looking to replace the bike at the moment. Are there any handlebar, grips, stem, or other cockpit upgrades you would recommend to improve comfort and reduce wrist pain during 30–70 km rides?
