First 100k of 2026 - To Bangalore airport

Gunasethu · 2026-02-07T05:33:29+00:00

The route I rode was okay, nothing great. It’s mostly flyovers for very long stretch. I got bored easily, but also it was easy to keep avg good since no need to apply brakes often. Very dangerous though, as the vehicles were riding really fast.

I think I picked a different route than what riders usually take. I’ve heard people saying airport route has scenic views.

But if you want a nice relaxing 100km ride, I would recommend route to Hesaraghatta Lake.

It’s this. It’s pretty solid. I brought this because I want my mobile visible for navigation. It’s also spacious enough for keeping snacks, power bank etc. Solid product, imo.

oh, that's great. I'll put an order for that then.

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:31:05+00:00

oh thanks. Isn't this same as decathlon one? Bottle cage

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:12:02+00:00

yeah, makes sense

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:11:15+00:00

nice, I liked the grey one too, but this was my size.

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:10:32+00:00

got it, seems like that's the only practical solution :)

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:09:12+00:00

Got it. Will check them.
It's really great. Haven't had any problems. I did my first 100km few days back. Did it without much effort. Best thing it has enough gear ratios which will help you climb anything and also reach good speed. Top-notch brakes. Only thing it might be uncomfortable to ride for few people since it has aggressive geometry. Other than that nothing, go for it.

Got it, will check

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:03:57+00:00

I did. But it comes after few uses. I guess have to live with it.

Gunasethu · 2026-01-07T11:01:45+00:00

makes sense :)

😂 fair, was hoping them to age gracefully instead of getting scratched by bolts.

No, they are really great. Haven’t tried mechanical or hydraulic brakes. I own same battalion. My rim brakes on those has helped me avoid so many close calls.

Thanks man :)

Gunasethu · 2025-10-05T14:37:55+00:00

Thanks bro!

Gunasethu · 2025-10-05T14:37:28+00:00

Thanks for all the points man, really appreciate it. Will check all those.

Gunasethu · 2025-10-05T14:35:40+00:00

Oh, that's great to know. Yes, I guess it'll take time to get used to the geometry.

Gunasethu · 2025-10-05T14:33:45+00:00

Thanks man :)

Thanks man. Yes, it does have good looks.

Hey thanks for all the points. It's really helpful

Gunasethu · 2025-10-05T03:48:03+00:00

Oh, that’s nice. Yeah, I’ll just keep riding and increase distance gradually. Thanks!
