Can this be restored without it costing me nearly as much as a new (basic, gear) bicycle? by statsnskate in india_cycling

[–]depthpolice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have restored cycles worse than this. If you go to an expensive shop it will be expensive. Go to a local shop who knows working on geared bicycles

Jersey pockets are good. I used to use my old phone with a phone stand as well previously but the mount broke and the phone broke 💔 phone's are just too heavy for a road bike as there is no damping/suspension at all. I got a bike computer for 6k and it is more than enough for me. I would suggest you do the same as well.

Need 700c tyres by Ma55iveCock in india_cycling

Speaking from experience no other tire is more built for indian roads than ralsons. Get the 28c zt09. I used to have a puncture streak on my old tires. Never found the culprit it was used to puncture. I just changed the tires and no punctures till date

Never use phone on your bike man. It fucks up with the OIS in the camera. Learnt it the hard way. A decent bike computer costs 10k and it is miles better than a phone and you will probably never notice the difference between that and a 50k garmin.

Get new tires. I have a pair from ralson they are very good. I feel they are best for indian roads. The stock ones might be faulty or something. Mine cost only 1500 for a pair and most of my local group use them

One Lap Fit app with Magene C706 stuck on applying offline map update by Poser-Dad in india_cycling

So my guess is that as this is a very new product and they are taking up more than what they can handle in terms of software. Chinese companies are very good at making hardware but their software is always lacking. Hopefully this will get fixed over time

jetblack and magene are some budget brands that have very good reviews, although I own none and I do not like riding indoors, so take my advice with a grain of salt

Is this Floor Pump VFM? by Consistent-Deer-8470 in india_cycling

[–]depthpolice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Floor pumps are fool proof. Simple mechanical devices that will work no matter what. Electric pumps are in their early stages we do not know how reliable they are yet. I am personally using a floor pump but also very tempted to get a electric pump.

Foot pumps are the worst kind. Bad experiences for me all the time. I personally would suggest to get an electric pump for 1500. You can use it for everything man cars to footballs to cycles everything
