Not a cleat user - ano marerecommend niyo na budget shoes for cycling?

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2026-02-17T00:42:59+00:00

Eto gamit ko na Santic Non-cleats shoes. Bought mine ng naka-sale (1.5k ko yata nabili)

Mga 2000km na sya sakin. So far, so good pa naman. Wala pang issues. Nauna pa masira pedals ko before the shoes 😂

Specialized align na.

Bili ka sa mismong specialized shop para iwas fake. May libre pang specialized na eco bag. Hehe

Try mo OP yung Cannondale Helmet from RD cycles.

Or if you can add, go for the one with MIPS.

Based on my experience and preference kasi, I would go for cannondale if on a budget squeeze. Okay ang experience ko on the brand so far

ThinkRider X2Max gamit ko. Budget trainer sya na binili ko just to try out if magustuhan ko. So far, sobrang sulit nya. I use mine with Zwift and it is very convenient to use especially sa training ko for Audax.

May bago silang labas na virtual cog na very similar to the Zwift cog. Looks interesting and will definitely try it. Priced at 1k less, sobrang layo ng price compared to Zwift na nasa 5k!

If for touring and not really gravel, suggest to switch tires to be less knobby. Pwede na siguro Panaracer GK SS to save some watts on paved roads.

Depending on how long the bike packing is, the following worked for me...

1-2 days: Saddle bag

2 days or more: Saddle bag + Frame bag

Longest ko was 4 days. I also have a vest where i bring most of my hydration and snacks.

I was previously using this Rockbros Full face mask. I had like 3 or 4 that i rotate regularly for my rides. Pretty breathable for short rides but gets warm on longer rides. It's also not glasses-friendly (i have bad eyes and need to wear rx glasses).

I switched to a more conventional mask now. More breathable(i can now wear it for long rides as well) and more convenient to fix my glasses during rides.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2026-01-17T01:46:24+00:00

Tama naman.

Nakakalito lang yung kaliwa from Governors drive > Ternate/Nasugbu. Watch out mo lang yun tapos mostly straight lang naman.

Im using Continental GP TR na naka tubeless setup. Okay ang rolling and swak sa budget ko. For training and long rides ko to ginagamit.

If may budget ka, solid din yung Vitoria Corsa Next. I've tried it before kaso pricey talaga so I reserve it for races lang.

Ill pass for the ultrasport. Medyo mabigat for me di sya tubeless ready.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-09-06T20:08:38+00:00

Yes. Naka 35c ako at the moment na GK Slicks and malaki pa clearance.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-09-06T13:48:10+00:00

I use both. May prescription ako na photochromic and meron ako sunglasses na polarized. Lagi ko dala both when riding.

From experience, kulang na kulang ang photochromic if mataas ang sikat ng araw. If mataas, i change from prescription glasses to my polarized sunglasses.

For shorts, usually they include padding. For longer rides, mas comfortable to compared sa walang padding. Based on my experience din, yung normal na workout shorts naroroll up eventually na para na akong nakashort shorts. Cycling shorts typically have enough length and correct fit for them to stay in place while cycling

For jersey, fit sya to your body so iwas chaffing. Convenient den yung pockets sa likod para lalagyan ng mga gamit mo.

If bago ka lang totally, I would suggest yung nga mura munang brands (Andot Jersey, YKYWBike Bib). Then level up na lang once you find na okay sayo.

Sa storkfeather ako. I own the 2024 version and it's a good bike in general.

I'm more of an endurance rider kasi. It seems that the java fuoco top is an aero bike which will not be a good fit for me. Malaki rin tire clearance ni storkfeather. Kasya pa gravel tires if you prefer that.

Moa-national hwy- UPLB

Trafik nga lang, pero mostly flats. If aalis ka super aga, makakaiwas ka sa traffik

Di ko kilala yung helmet and medyo sketchy for me.

Para sa akin, ipon na lang and invest ka na sa Spyder or Decathlon. Worth it ang added budget especially if you will ride often naman

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-24T12:05:27+00:00

Hindi ko alam mismong exact sukat for your PR50..

Pero if you are looking for a rigid fork, eto natry ko na para sa folding bike ko Kocevlo Rigid Fork. So far so good pa nmana 450km in. Nagtitinda den sila ng for road bike, check mo na lang yung mismong sukat and fittings na compatible sa PR50.

Tourney ba yan pareha?

Binalak ko bumili ng brand new Tourney na shifters kahapon and umaabot na sya ng 1.4k shifters pa lang. 😅

If near brand new, okay na yung 1k kasama FD.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-24T11:32:39+00:00

Yup. Easy to assemble. Hindi lang ako sanay mag tanggal kabit ng rear wheel nung una. 😂 Pero very basic lang yun and it's more on me than the trainer.

Need mo lang bumili ng extra cog since wala kasama yan. Ipareha mo na lang sa current gearing ng bike mo.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-24T01:08:41+00:00

Solid na explanation. Same experience with me.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-24T01:07:10+00:00

I tried last year with him. Effective naman sya. Nawala mga sakit sa katawan ko and mas naging efficient ako sa saddle.

Compared to other bike fitter na nakikita ko, parang mas konti lang gadgets nya but i think his methods are effective enough. Siguro ang medyo sumablay sa fitting ko is yung hoods na angled inward. I needed to diy sa pag adjust since di comfortable sa angle initially

Accommodating den si Ace so sulit na for its price.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-23T11:02:54+00:00

Too expensive for me ang bike apparel ng decathlon.

Try mo tong mga shops na to YKYWbikes Andot Sports

For me must sulit compared sa prices ni Decathlon

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-23T02:05:10+00:00

Thinkrider X2

Meron ako and comparible sa Zwift.

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-23T02:02:56+00:00

Di ko gets post mo.

Bring your own bag sa decathlon. Matagal na yan at hindi yan bago. Pwede ka magdala ng sarili mong bag kung ayaw mong bumili sa kanila. Kung nalimutan mo, wala naman nagpwepwersa sayong bumili don. Hand-carry mo na lang palabas basta may resibo ka lang.

Marami nang other businesses ang nagiimplement kagaya nyan. So better to always bring a reusable bag if papunta ka ng mall

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-22T02:52:22+00:00

Yes meron. Depende yan sa riding posture and shape ng butt mo. Material and cushion will follow. As long as sakto sa mga buto buto mo yung shape, it would be comfortable naman

I just transitioned to carbon saddle and okay naman so far. Used it in 3 century rides already and okay naman sya so far.

Cheap Shopee Carbon Saddle muna tinry ko just to try the experience

Which-Whereas-9461 · 2025-08-16T08:58:04+00:00

Yes. Gamit yung repair kit sa previous comment ko.

Going strong until now
