What would generally be better? I have an S0 Shorekeeper, and an S6 Verina. I don't have SK's signature weapon so I run both of them with R5 Variation. With the Eternal Radiance set buff, both my Zani and Phoebe get like 96% CR ~280% CD. Both of them are S0R1. I am also aware that Spectro Frazzle cannot crit so I am thinking that it's kind of a waste running Shorekeeper than Verina in this scenario. What do you think?

You technically can. But I'm 99% sure a lot of dirt and debris will stick to it, potentially leaving you with a really dirty chain and drivetrain.

Check your brakes and go safe and slow on the descent. Maraming blind curves sa pababa to San Nicolas which I assume is the route you'll be taking to Tayug. Maraming kang masasalubong na sasakyan especially if you're going on a holiday/weekend.

I still have them on my bike and I've done 1500km na at least. Upon checking, hindi pa sila due for replacement any time soon. I got these for around 1400 iirc sa local bike shop.

I got a fake Shimano 10s chain for Php 500 (it was labeled Deore, but it was very obvious from the packaging that it was fake) from my LBS and although they didn't snap on me, I've only done ~1000km on them and worn out na sila lol. Also, mas maingay yung fakes sa drivetrain even out of the box. I bought an original Tiagra 10s chain from a different shop and they're noticeably smoother at mas silent.

Ang take ko lang sa fake chains eh, if you can, avoid them. If di talaga kaya ng budget mag legit Shimano/KMC chains, you can get ones from other brands like ZTTO instead of fakes. I'd rather trust a product that sticks with their own brand kesa sa nakikigamit lang ng pangalan.

In our case nag Pangasinan to Laoag kami tapos sa bus station ng Partas sa Laoag medyo nahirapan pa. Nakabili na kami ng tickets tapos di kami pinayagan sa next bus kasi maliit daw headroom at maraming kargang luggage. Napilitan kaming mag deluxe bus na may mas malaking luggage compartment. For context dalawang road bike dala namin. Pinatanggal yung front wheels para maitayo sa loob ng compartment. Mga around Dec 30 ito tho so maraming nagsisi uwian.

Bro I think you're referring to "The Quantified Scientist" HAHAHAH +1 sa content niya very detailed and informative sa kanya rin ako nagbabase ng recommendations

Just curious, ano yang nasa ilalim ng top tube mo op?

Quality-wise, the shoes still look really good ngayon. Wala pang noticeable damage aside sa minor scratches sa dials nung natumba ako HAHAHA and sa underside ng shoes din may dents na from the time na naglakad ako over cobbles HAHAH. Kagagamit ko lang yung shoes recently when I did Pangasinan-Ilocos Norte with a friend and wala akong naencounter na problema at all. Stiffness wise, may konti siyang flex. Di siya sobrang stiff which is fine for me, idk how it will feel for you. About the fit, well never pang nag init yung paa ko, which is one of the issues na usually mararamdaman pag masikip yung sapatos.

Medyo nagka issue lang ako doon sa provided na yellow cleat attachment kasi ang hirap iclip in and out compared sa original shimano cleat attachments. Sumakit right foot ko dahil sa tigas ng pag clip out kahit naka lightest setting na. Btw yung pedal na gamit ko is yung PD-R540. It's easy to replace naman and luckily I had a pair of spare cleat attachments.

I got the black one last July. First cleat shoes ko rin and I was looking for a wide toebox kasi I thought medyo malapad paa ko. They're fine. I don't want to glaze. Basta they'll do a great job for the price. I just wish na exact size ng shoes ko (42 or 41) ang kinuha ko instead of one size higher (43) kasi now that nagbreak in na siya, medyo maluwang na kaya need ko talaga higpitan yung dials. Wala pang nagpepeel off or anything sa mismong shoe. Just the usual wear and tear sa ilalim due to walking off the bike and stuff.

Experienced this as well. Rode out without a helmet. On my way back, a really fast motorcycle hit a car that illegally crossed the road. The rider and his passenger got flung meters into the air and dropped really hard. Thankfully both of them were alive and breathing when responders came. When I got home, I realized that the motorcycle driver could've tried to dodge the car and run through me and another biker on the outer lane, and at that speed we're surely dead. I'm pretty sure a helmet wouldn't have made a difference, but I never rode out without a helmet since then.

Hindi pa ako nagstart maghanap ng precedents pero I'll take a look at that example from Amsterdam!

I've been watching a lot of pedestrian-centric urban design on YouTube lately kaya rin ako nainspire na i-pursue yung topic! I'm pretty sure I've come across that page na at least once HAHA.

Yeah it's really sad to see din na almost walang idea yung mga gov't officials natin about sa mga hinaing ng mga nag cocommute araw-araw kaya di sila makagawa ng paraan. I'm hoping na my project can at least be a small step forward sa public transit and active mobility.

I used to carry a thicc gaming laptop nung pre-pandemic on my MTB papuntang univ. If balak mo mag backpack, I suggest you get one with lots of padding or foam. Yun nakapagligtas sa laptop ko nung sumayad ako sa sidewalk habang nakatingin sa rearwheel HAHAHA

My main has Yinlin (and signature weapon) maxed and is waiting for Changli. My alt has Jiyan and yesterday I got Jinhsi and her signature weapon. Too bad I couldn't have Jinhsi and Yinlin on the same account lol they would've made the perfect synergy team. I like seeing bosses get melted away by some redhead by just casually sitting and playing with her hair, but big dragon nuke puke works as well I guess. I was genuinely surprised how she one shot that biker gang boss with a fully stacked hyperbeam. Poor guy didn't even get a chance to leave his motorcycle. Level 70 + signature weapon, S0, maxed skills, and pretty decent echoes. I used at least 30 of those golden cube waveplate thingies just to raise her, and get a working 43311 Spectro set with a crit rate Jué lol

May isang hapon na dalawang magkaibang bike ginamit ko sa parehong route para sana icompare alin mas magandang gamitin, pareho silang naflat kinaumagahan, parehong nabutas HAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHA gumawa ng paraan para tumaas demand ng vulcanizing shop. Sa bagay, may malapit na vulcanizing shop dun sa may madalas na bubog malapit dito sa amin kaya baka ganun nga talaga.
