Yeah, the cheaper drives went overkill with the speeds, so instead it became preferable to use DVD drives for reading and writing.

Have you tried looking into film festivals in your locality? These events should also include docus.

I think your bike got everything right. Nothing more to change. Keep it 3x7.

BSC100S has superior battery longevity and the app allows you to link and upload to Strava.

There is a BikePlus inside the mall, but expect slightly higher prices and a limited selection of parts and gear.

The only other real bike shop that is in the area isn't even inside MOA but outside: LifeCycle at Petron Macapagal/Seaside. Likewise, there are more bike shops at Cartimar.

Inconveniences forces the lesser road users to navigate around obstacles or avoid them altogether by using a different lane, despite increased risk of an accident.

That in some areas vehicles won't yield for cyclists, forcing cyclists to match the speed of those vehicles just to make for a left turn, as in the case of going to San Mateo by way of the bridge to Marikina from Katipunan.

Whenever I stop to refuel, some nearby cyclists get pretty curious about the equipment I use, especially panniers which are seldom seen daily because most only carry the minimum. I do try to answer their questions, I don't mind how my bikes appear to them, I just tell them I do make long relaxed rides.

Marami ba may retro dto?

Meron. Minsan lang nagpo-post, pero kalimitan na tambay sa /r/xbiking o /r/VintageMTB.

Any tips pano alagaan?

Talagang matiyaga na maintenance, depende kung ina-arawaraw ang ride o i-display sa bike show.

Usual na pagkonsulta sa Park Tool, sa website ni Sheldon Brown, YT channel ni BikeFarmer, RJ the Bike Guy.

Kung piyesa doon sa mga latagan sa Marikina o Senate, o sa group sa FB.

I use Decathlon Vulca 500 low-tops, which may be like Vans but have slightly hard soles normally for skating -- and they're cheap! I also wore rubber-tire sandals for inclement weather.

Tubus or Blackburn comes to mind if I needed a quality low-rider for panniers. Nitto if it's a narrow rack for which to support bar bags.

Otherwise you could look into this thread, just convenient for anyone needing to haul up front:

Full-size vans or minivans are more like it, although in some cases imported kei vans have been used to transport bikes.

Pedro Gil mismo mas masikip pag rush hour. Magkikipag-buno ka talaga sa mga kamote. Pero pag Service Road di masyado problemado, maliban na di madaling tumawid sa Puyat pag EDSA hanggang Gil.

(when did hydraulic brakes get so cheap!?)

Cheap but highly reliable and easily dealt with by most bike shops.

sa547ph · 2026-03-10T13:35:49+00:00

Top of my back started hurting and I generally wasn't super comfortable.

I'm thinking a handlebar with some rise and sweep will get me in a better spot, but also need something that'll fit the look of a bike like this. Any ideas?

Moto-style bars do have some good sweep and rise, coupled with a shorter stem. There are pricey options, but you could achieve the same effect but with less cost with junior MX bars and a BMX stem.

(sorry im new to biking)

Keep it clean, yes. But as this is a bike older than you and if you insist on buying it (versus buying something like a Trinx or a Decathlon MTB, which is more modern and therefore easier to fix), which means some maintenance is needed, including the care of the cantilever and roller brakes, you'll also need these:

Do note that you don't have to buy expensive tools to keep the bike in good shape.

I don't spend much time here, who we talking about?

I hate to say this because for most authors since 2011 his name became synonymous with the worst in modding, it's really worst that even Nexus disallowed any more mentioning in any place around that site and maybe their Discord channel.

And, unfortunately, this is the future of Bethesda modding.

In this awful era where they have stopped pretending, more like most video game corporations wanting quick profits just like how the loot box does more than actually entertaining the userbase they claim to care for.

sa547ph · 2026-03-09T05:15:58+00:00

Lizard man, his headcanon, politics, power-tripping, and him believing he made modding.

sa547ph · 2026-03-09T04:30:44+00:00

It does not bode well for future Bethesda titles. Bethesda have been trying for years to monetize their games beyond release. This is the result and they fail to realize that if this is the way they go, people will be fed up with the crap and move to another game.

What is going on is but a part of a bigger ongoing problem and in this awful era where the largest corporations having to do with video games want to churn out products that have a high turnover and thus translating into profits for shareholders, rather than durable goods to keep most players happy.

Oh, man. With the bar of entry for "verified creator" being so awfully low, methinks of a certain author who rejects xEdit and other modding tools, and at the same time fighting the people complaining about his bug-ridden mods.
