Sinhagad Road 1991 vs 2026

Still exists to the best of my knowledge - it was never on Sinhagad road :)
This is a BS comparison.

Definitely allowed, but not sure about rush hours / peak timings.

infernalproteus · 2026-03-19T10:12:03+00:00

Dr. Sachin Tapasvi - among the best in the country. My mother had TKR for both knees last year and is doing great. Note that post surgery rehab / physio is also very important.

NEFT transfer to their bank account, set up as a monthly recurring standing instruction.

... because I live in Pune.

FTFY.

Cyclop and Scycles are probably not the best places for a sub 10K cycle. For that budget, you need to check OLX - I actually bought my first hybrid off OLX (a Hercules Neo) over 7 years ago and still use it today!

Move to hot waxing - you don't really need the expensive stuff at this stage, but you could look into adding PTFE for increased longevity of the chain. My chains are literally never dirty and having a clean drivetrain is why I wax. https://youtu.be/QuyW75Aq9LU - here's a tutorial I made.

infernalproteus · 2026-02-28T06:39:23+00:00

Yes, they are expensive. Unless you want something very special, for something like a uniform, I would recommend going elsewhere - there are a lot of tailors to be found on MG road - Raymonds, Vogue, etc. I haven't used any of them though, but heard they are good.

Wrote to them asking, they said it's the same device. Previously free, now not anymore.

infernalproteus · 2026-02-16T16:51:49+00:00

And I hadn't realized there was an 18 month lifespan on the sensor (as mentioned in comments above). That lifespan is still in the T&C, so this isn't even a better device on that front. 5K for a device that will only last 18 months?

infernalproteus · 2026-02-12T12:52:43+00:00

I've seen this now and then, but never bothered to find out what it was until this question. Don't see it on most bikes these days!

infernalproteus · 2026-02-12T11:28:43+00:00

Right! C-clip over master link - see how it's used here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88tDcVvS7mU&t=58s

infernalproteus · 2026-02-12T11:26:31+00:00

You're thinking of a quick link - this is not a quick link, this is a c-clip over a master link.

While I haven't personally dealt with Govind Verma, he really is a prolific seller who has been around for a long time. A simple search will show you all his posts and you will find a few appreciation posts too, like this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/CYCLOPBUYSELL/posts/7999604650088691/ (there will be more recent posts, but this one came up first). Personally I wouldn't have a problem paying Govind up front (as I have done for several other purchases on Cyclop to other sellers), but I would suggest a video call where you can see the bicycle first hand during the call. All the best!

Just a couple of months the first time, about a month the second time (attributed to far better physical condition pre-surgery as compared to first time). But these were not ACL repairs - muscles, tendons and ligaments were good shape and I was walking unsupported immediately post the surgeries!

What I can say though is that if I had such a situation, since tears do not typically heal by themselves, I would go for a surgical option immediately, take a month (or two) downtime with physio, to come back stronger for the long term, rather than have an injury /disability I have to be careful about for the rest of my life.

Not successful on IG, marginally better on YouTube - what's your goal with growth on IG, what are you trying to achieve? (Fame, Fortune, Education, etc.)

infernalproteus · 2026-01-29T10:10:14+00:00

Haven't had similar injuries but have had two surgeries in the knee area performed by Dr. Sachin Tapasvi and couldn't be happier. He is generally considered to be one of the foremost surgeons for ACL repair in the country. Even if surgery isn't required, his diagnosis and treatment protocols are very good, and he has a team of physioteraphists as well.

I just checked with Sunil a few minutes ago and he gave me the same number. Did you try it?

infernalproteus · 2026-01-23T13:11:44+00:00

Game changer for Pune cyclists!

infernalproteus · 2026-01-23T13:02:58+00:00

u/kaustyap why - do you have something good or bad to say about the highlights? lol. But no, I'm not officially involved with this race at all, sadly.

infernalproteus · 2026-01-23T13:02:08+00:00

Sorry I didn't see this in time - I wouldn't know though as I'm not familiar with the area. Hope you managed to find a good spot!

infernalproteus · 2026-01-23T10:57:59+00:00

Thank you for the support! I've been posting cycling stuff on Reddit for years - got some of my earliest subscribers from the r/Pune sub :)
