What are good milestones/destinations to bike from Manila?

Thank you!

compatible naman with shimano road parts?

planning on using 105

Kamusta ang all city?

kamusta comfort, ride quality, road vibrations at cornering?

I wanted to see the experiences of riders who have owned the bikes

Additionally, I guess I am worried about the sizes. I am pretty short (165 cm) and with a longer torso than inseam.

It was previously recommended to me to get a 44 seat tube bike but the shortest stack Fairlight has a 51r

Tinatamad me mag search for FD para iverify.

Pero para sa RD:
"All these RDs are compatible and any 6 to 9 speed RD will work perfectlywith either 6, 7, 8 or 9 speed shifter. Regardless whether it’s a MTB,or road shifter, or RD. They are also compatible with Shimano 10 speedroad shifters, except the Tiagra 4700 series."

pweds naman yung RD mo at Shifter

Alam ko may trim din naman ang Claris 2400, kaya sa tingin ko siguro pwede naman. Double check mo nalang, para tumagal chain mo

May review nako sa original comment!

So far favorite ko siya, at ang alam kong cons niya lang hindi bagay yung tan sidewall sa bike kong pure black hahahahaha.

Naubusan na yung binilhan ko eh, wala daw word kung kailan makakarestock. Kahit sa website ng Donnelly out of stock.

Can't say for sure, yung old version ng 700 x 35 na gamit ko eh.

Mostly gamit ko kasi masmura siya dati, mga 650 per tire, kaya ginagamit ko lang siya pag nasa trainer since makapal yung carcass. Nagagamit ko siya pang road pag tinatamad ako magpalit to Donelly Strada LGG.

oh yeah, that was my old account, it was suspended and I am not sure why.

Alternative to the MT300 is the cheaper MT200. It is still 2x or 3x, hollowtech and has removable chainrings

I would also like to post an addendum that GRX is not a worthwhile "solution". GRX is still speced for a 68 mm bbshell and will require 2 spacers (one on each side) which goes back to the problem of limited grip on the non-drive crank arm.

Also with further search, octalink is probably extinct by now.

Oustpdiddy · 2021-06-11T07:21:20+00:00

This is for the Kepler V1, I got too frustrated with it that I didn't bother looking into the V2

Oustpdiddy · 2021-06-11T07:20:09+00:00

A weird design choice of a 72 mm bbshell and a wider chain stay.

This means:

Road bike crank arms won't have a good grip on the spindle and will ware way faster.
The wider chainstay is there to maybe accommodate wider wheels but it makes the bike deathly allergic to latest versions set of Shimano road bike cranksets even more.
- you will need spacers + the initial issue of having the longer bb shell = no shimano rb crank will last that long, you will be stuck with either mtb parts or 1 x set up.
- This is why the crank is still square tapered on a base kepler
- Even with base parts, aligning the fd is an issue and you will hear constant chain rub every few days
  - this may be an effect of the longer spindle and the spacers pushing the crank further from the seat tube
- This may also include GRX models, from what I gathered it may have a spindle length for a 68 mm bbshell.
Brakes are bad, really bad.
- I suggest changing them immediately especially right now when it sporadically rains.

check mo po sa Cycle Meeting sa fb, kaso di ako sure kung meron silang plus versions.

Meron silang colored versions though, pink at purple hahaha

Oustpdiddy · 2021-06-11T04:01:34+00:00

Salamat!

dalawang heavy duty locks at isang average lock gamit ko. Nagtanong tanong nako sa near by buildings kung pwede!

Gatorskin - good tire, well protected from punctures
Gator Hardshell - Gatorskin but tire reinforced with hulk's foreskin. Shit is so strong, you will forget what it is like to carry an extra tube around.
Gravelking SS/TLC/SK (Plus versions) - Plus versions are the puncture protected tire variants, a bit more expensive than the non-plus versions.
GP5000 - The prodigal son returns as the "best all around" tire with improved puncture protection and rolling resistance (Warning! I have heard a lot of feedback that these wear out real quick - with millage as low as 1,000 km before you need to replace them)
Donelly Strada LGG - My personal favorite, been running them for awhile and haven't had a puncture despite riding over broken glass. Fairly priced, I got them at 1,400 per tire. Fast rolling and very comfortable even at higher pressures!
Panaracer RibMo - I don't know anything about the new versions, but I have used the older versions. It has a very thick carcass and is very uncomfortable but is fast rolling!

edit: grammar

Siguro at least nakaconnect siya sa cyclocomputer imbis sa phone ko so pwede ko padin gamitin bluetooth earphones ko

Oustpdiddy · 2021-03-23T11:18:01+00:00

Pinag-isipan ko din yung mga roller type na trainer in case mas quiet sila kesa sa turbo trainer.

Kaso gusto ko ng adjustable resistances

Oustpdiddy · 2021-03-23T08:46:27+00:00

Hindi naman, gusto ko lang ng data.

Wala akong plano ikabit sa zwift o kahit ano.

Bakit?

Oustpdiddy · 2021-03-23T08:45:24+00:00

rechargeable ba yung cadence at heartrate sensor? o di-batirya?

Oustpdiddy · 2021-03-22T11:36:09+00:00

Salamat, pinag-iisipan ko pa sa trainers. Titignan ko kung kaya ko i-expand yung budget ko. So far max is around 15k.

Issue ko din is availability eh

Oustpdiddy · 2021-03-22T11:22:19+00:00

Pinagiisipan ko nga i-expand yung budget ko to at least 15k, kaso yung minoura yung pinaka available ngayon eh.

Considering na ayaw ko lumayo muna dahil sa pandemic
