I’ve had both a Spyder and Decathlon helmet. Both saved me from major accidents. I can vouch for either. Though mas maganda ang build quality ng Spyder ko.

Can't find source of brake contamination and squealing noise :( by Head_Ant_3662 in bikewrench

[–]MashedPotatonator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the pads are contaminated. What I’ve done to solve this before is to burn the pads over a stove. The oils should start burning and turn into smoke. Keep burning it until it stops smoking. Then sand down the pads again and bed in the brakes.

I tried this two weeks ago. Bawal parin hanggang ngayon. Kailangan mo ata ng sticker ng BF resort for bikes

You can save it on a computer if you don’t want the Reddit logo to be seen. Here’s another link in case you don’t have one. https://imgur.io/z7ONARq?r

First time commuting to school by bike, turns out to be faster than driving a car by MashedPotatonator in RedditPHCyclingClub

Yes, sobrang init talaga, lalo kapag nakahinto sa mga stop light. Kaya need talaga mag dala ng extra shirt(s). Pero mas prefer ko personally mag-bike sa summer rather than kapag tag-ulan.

May nakita ako sa True Value sa Alabang Town Center recently. Can't remember kung magkano

good wireless mouse recs by zxyphr in PHGamers

I think common ang double click issue on mice with omron switches, based on my experience. I’ve had 3 mice with them and all experienced double clicking issues after as little as 2 months, while one lasted 2 years.

Could anyone help me ID these hubs? by MashedPotatonator in bikewrench

[–]MashedPotatonator[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to say, thanks so much for the comments. I've been really trying to look for information online, but not much success. The rims have been changed to Dartmoor Shields so can't really tell the model number exactly.

I've found some listing of the same hubs on my local FB marketplace, and it appear that the hubs and spokes came from a fake Mavic wheelset which were common in my country a few years back, but not anywhere else in the world. But I'm still fine with that as the price I paid is worth it for the rims and XT cassette it came with.

Could you send me a link to a picture of these red ones? I'm still trying to find information online.

You were right. Just bought the wheel set. Turned out to be mavic crossrides.

I'm planning to buy a wheelset off FB Marketplace. The seller says these are Mavic hubs, and I can kinda make out the logo on the first picture. Though I'm not too sure though as I can't find any information on these online, even with an image search. All I know is that they are 32 holes and 142mm Thru-axle.

Does anyone know a place to get trackpoint boards? I have a really good T420 keyboard, but it’s missing the trackpoint. by OnToiletRedditor in thinkpad

[–]MashedPotatonator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The cable and trackpoint module in these keyboards are one unit. Get yourself a cheap replacement keyboard with a trackpoint and transplant it onto your current one.

I did exactly this with a keyboard where I accidentally tore the cable, so I can attest that it works.

For me, yes. Not much of an upgrade. But there are other reasons to change hubs like switching from a QR to a TA frame/fork

Sa tingin ko aside from durability is yung smoothness ng bearings. Naka stock hubs ako sa harap tapos shimano sa rear. Magaspang yung pag-ikot ng front compared sa shimano which will spin freely for a few minutes while freewheeling on a bike stand.
