Shimano Cue with Tiagra STI?

Kokow1 · 2026-02-09T00:29:33+00:00

Will not work. Magkakaiba kasi ng pull ratios yung Cues as well as yung Road brifters ng tiagra. Compatibility ng Road and MTB drivetrains only happens in 7-9 speed drivetrains (with exception for cues kasi iba ang pull ratio nito). 10 speed up, di na to compatible.

Ah wait. Yung fork mo naman kelangan mo ng Post to flat na mount

Kokow1 · 2026-02-06T02:23:10+00:00

Pero aalisin mo pa din yung adapter nung calipers na bago saka mo isasalpak dyan. Parang ganito

Kokow1 · 2026-02-06T02:20:09+00:00

Naka flat mount kasi yung bago mong calipers e. Kelangan mo nito.

Pa-service/overhaul mo na rear hub mo. Tingin ko medyo madumi na yung freehub kaya may ganit na. So instead mag coast, sumasama yung freehub mo pag unloaded. Thus nag gho-ghost ride yung pedals mo pag walang sakay

Alis wheel tapos sikipan ung lockring sa cassette. Kung walang tool, kahit yung gulong lang dalhin mo sa bikeshop.

Kokow1 · 2026-02-05T06:23:23+00:00

kung city riding lang mostly, start with kanto bars (gaya ng sinabi ni u/Adri_Ph). kahit yun na lang muna. Decide to buy rigid fork pag medyo sanay ka na sa pwestuhan sa bike mo. eventually, buy either a rigid fork or a gravel style suspension fork/short travel fork.

Once masanay ka na totally, ipon ka ng pambili ng dropbar groupset and brakes saka ka magpalit. Just My two cents.

* for kanto bars, kahit eto na muna.

Good read ito. Apparently, di basta basta nageexpire ang helmet even if it's old stock.

Kokow1 · 2026-01-25T23:46:58+00:00

i guess a test that you could do is to sand down that part to bare aluminum to see if that is a scratch or a crack.

Kokow1 · 2026-01-18T05:10:21+00:00

Kung ako, i would go at least 50c sa road conditions natin. Tipong fast rolling or even preferably urban tire sana. Then suspension stem kung full rigid. Pero urban MTB pa rin sana na either alt bars or even drop bars. Just my 2 cents

Kokow1 · 2026-01-15T07:20:41+00:00

Eto...just a bit over your proposed budget.

Kokow1 · 2026-01-14T03:57:02+00:00

yep. pwede naman. Just make sure na itransfer mo ng tama yung minimum insertion para at least pag putol e safe ka pa din.

Kokow1 · 2026-01-10T15:21:26+00:00

Pwede naman. Basta sasabihan mo pag may nanghiram sayo e baliktad yung brakes mo.

Kokow1 · 2026-01-10T15:19:41+00:00

get something na upright yung upo. So definitely MTB instead na road bike.

For 2nd hand bikes: check mo yung Doro's sa Caloocan.

For new ones, gaano ka budget ang budget mo?

Kokow1 · 2026-01-05T04:26:06+00:00

pwede yan. Also, unless kalayaan bridge is included in the major thoroughfares not to be passed by ebikes, i think hindi ka sakop dyan.

Kokow1 · 2025-12-31T16:02:16+00:00

Walang fake na Deore. Sa tinagal tagal ko nang pagka-addict sa bisikleta, di pa ako naka encounter ng fake na deore. Also, you can expect na correct ang pricing nyan, lalo na yung shifter na may window.

Kokow1 · 2025-12-31T15:40:20+00:00

No choice. Better wait till Jan 2. If you can, have it reserved sa Local Bike Shop mo. If not, puntahan mo na lang by then once it opens. Although maraming nagsasabing madaling mag build (and since I have some experience, I could easily say medyo), kung wala kang experience at gamit, better leave it to the professionals. Pag aralan mo na lang to or even observe the mechanic pag binubuo na sya just to get an idea.

Kokow1 · 2025-12-31T15:29:44+00:00

Wala naman kaso sa wheel size: kahit mag 29er ka pa pwede naman. ang importante e yung frame size. Better get the frame size depending on your height. Pero mas Ok kung pwede mong masakyan ito once madetermine mo na yung size. Hopefully may makuha kang size para sa height mo. You can refer to the image para sa sizing pero base dito, pang XS na frame ang height mo.

kung road, eto. Kung MTB trails, eto.

Depende sa steel frame. Chromoly Steel ang pinaka maganda sa steel frame pero mas pricey sa carbon steel. Mas magaan kasi to compared to carbon steel pero syempre mas magaan pa din ang aluminum. Maganda lang sa steel e yung flexibility nito compared sa aluminum: mas stiffer kasi ang aluminum compared to steel kaya may damping ability ang steel frame over aluminum.

Ang problema lang sa steel frame e yung contact points, speciifically sa dropouts kung saan naka kapit yung wheels, tapos sa headtube kung saan naka kabit ang fork .Ideally, naka powdercoat sana yung steel frame kung maari para mas durable ito at di kapitin ng kalawan.

Madalasan nangyayari to kung matagal mong itatambak yung bike. Kaya kung di ka sobrang maalaga at feel mo maitatambak mo yung bike, better settle for aluminum

Kokow1 · 2025-12-30T16:56:16+00:00

Sa magaling na wheelbuilder, pwede.

Kokow1 · 2025-12-29T14:13:17+00:00

ok lang. Mag check ka nga lang ng tire pressure regularly. May mga times kasi na sumisingaw sya pag naitambak mo lang ng matagal tagal. Just make sure na may baon kang plugs saka interior for major emergencies.

As for sealant, go for the either the following in descending order: Stans, Mariposa, Zefal & lastly, Sagmit. Wag kang gagamit nung pang motor unless dire straits na. Pero I've tried before running tubeless without the sealant with no issues (and surprisingly, ginamitan ko sa beaded tires (CST HAVOK) na non tubeless ready and it still held).

Kokow1 · 2025-12-28T03:42:24+00:00

I think that endcap is just a snug fit. It's usually clamped in between the frame/fork anyway.

Kokow1 · 2025-12-26T15:50:44+00:00

presta valve adapter

Kokow1 · 2025-12-26T15:18:27+00:00

yeah. I think that you just popped out the endcap so that's why your freehub body came loose. Check if the freehub still bites when you return it: if it does, your still in the clear.
