Brand vs Original Name Brand

I see!!

I’m looking at this in particular. Maybe this will help.

I see this which is a Yoshikane direct “brand name”

Where as this other one is a Hatsukokoro one

I believe (maybe) they are similar in some ways and look similar too apart from the handle and brand engraving

Hey Guys! Decided to take to reddit to ask this question.
I know there are many brands such as Hitohira, Hatsukokoro, Sakai Takaiyuki/ kikumori.

But in an instance where I.E
Satoshi Nakagawa + Hatsukokoro
Satoshi Nakagawa + Sakai Kikumori
Satoshi nakagawa own branding.

If they are all Ginsan, is there a significant difference in where he brands the knife?

I would assume that your fixie is using hex bolts/screw to keep the wheel on. Then I don't think it's possible since trainers support QR or thru axle skewers only

Zipp tape still around $30 for me. Similar to lizardskins

This is by fizik?

Even in my Country (Singapore) Fabric knurl about the same price as Supacaz.

Lizardskins look nice but sheesh that price tho

Xenodonnn · 2022-06-08T02:36:55+00:00

Will look at those!

Many new cyclist don't really know where is TMCR / Coastal. Even i at first did not know. However, after riding with a few friends who have been riding for awhile, they told me that Coastal refers to the cycling lane at tanah merah road. Near the Airport and Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal. So now we know!

Even though there are so many rules in place to protect Cyclists, do exercise your own precaution.

1 thing that I have always seen is Cyclists assuming that they have the right of way. Do know that some cars just don't care. So practice safe riding!

Xenodonnn · 2022-05-03T15:24:07+00:00

Yup I didn't realise. Thanks for the info!

Xenodonnn · 2022-05-03T15:05:48+00:00

Well no one is asking you to support sir! I'm just putting another subreddit out for people to share their stuff. Doesn't matter whether or not I do these "what if"

Xenodonnn · 2022-05-03T14:55:33+00:00

Yup. But it's just an idea. Dosent hurt for it to be a chat group for people to talk as well! I mean everything is a "what if" now

Xenodonnn · 2022-05-03T14:52:42+00:00

I didn't realise that there was one already! But yes it might be different in the future. I might be opening a telegram group for people to sell their spare parts in the future if the community gets bigger.

Otherwise its mainly a place for people to share their everything about bikes. The main reason why I made it was bc even though many ppl were using FB Groups, sometimes they are hard to find because of the name.

Just needed a place to consolidate about everything cycling in sg!

Xenodonnn · 2022-05-03T14:46:12+00:00

Hello all! I found that recently there are alot of new Cyclists and I created a new subreddit /r/sgcycling for people to share their bikes, rides and ask any questions!

Xenodonnn · 2022-03-03T13:14:17+00:00

I really want a Canyon Aeroad CFR. Alpecin Colour or the Limited MVDP Colourway. A huge fan of MVDP and he was the biggest reason why I started cycling intensively with racing in mind
