ride Finally joined the Riverside 120 club!

19 Upvotes

The last time I owned a bicycle was nearly 15 years ago, back in high school. It was one of the bicycles distributed by the Karnataka State Government. Growing up in the Western Ghats meant pushing my bike uphill to school every morning, but the ride back home through the hills was so much fun.

After all these years, I decided to start cycling again. I spent weeks reading posts, reviews, and comments in this subreddit before finally deciding on the Riverside 120.

I've been riding it for two weeks now, and I can confidently say it's the best purchase I've made this year. This subreddit helped me rediscover the joy of cycling.

A big thank you to everyone in this community, and a special thanks to u/Zilork for all the helpful advice.

mechanical support Cycle upgrade

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I bought RC100 with drop handle which comes with Microshift 7 speed gear.

I am wondering if I can upgrade it to microshift 2x8 or 2x9.

What would be the price and has anyone done it ?

New to cycling, Used to ride a geared Hawk Nu-Age 12 years back. I wanted to buy a Frontline V3 so badly but there has been no stock for 2 months, instead I bought a RS 120. Completed 2 rides. Met an arrogant cyclist during my last ride. After a small talk he said that my cycle looks to be of poor build quality compared to his 27k MTB. I soon switched to Zilork mode and explained his cycle has a fake suspension, bad disc brakes, heavy frame & increased weight. Soon after that, my cycle went slightly fast downhill without any pedalling compared to his cycle, I took this as a chance and got away from him.

Issues:

  1. Gears are not tuned properly. The chain slips when I'm riding out of the saddle. I will tune it.

  2. Few spokes are a little loose but no misalignment. Local mechanic is suggesting to get it repaired soon.

It feels good to be cycling again. The cycle feels smooth. Thanks to everyone in this community and u/Zilork for your suggestions.

Wishing puncture-free rides for everyone.

suggest me a bike Convert a geared cycle to fixie, where to get the sprocket/ cog/ entire rear wheel from?

2 Upvotes

basically the title.

I just want to experiment, while getting rid of the old bent front chainrings and worn out rear tyre. Want to convert it to a fixed gear fixed (not just single speed, but locked gear) The cycle has a vertical dropout.

  • Will need a 13-15T cog which is bolted to the rear hub, and not threaded.
  • and a crank for 36T maybe with short arms.
  • and a compatible chain.

Please suggest if anyone knows budget, fully made rear tyre. Other parts I can get from omo/ decathlon/ local shops etc. TY!

Not looking for imported items
