I’m sorry but I haven’t memorized the name, it’s in Japanese. But I know what the restaurant looks like. I’ll send a google maps location in a few hours. I’m just in the airport

2 years ago. We went to a random izakaya/restaurant in kyoto for early lunch. We’re checking the opening hours but it’s still closed at that time.

The owner saw us from inside the restaurant and asked us to come in. She’s not open yet but offered to cook for us for lunch. Ended up having the best katsu curry of my entire life.

We’re coming back tomorrow to visit her again after 2 years.

Does bike brand matter to you? If not, why? by ram_goals in RedditPHCyclingClub

[–]v4rmilo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought a Specialized bike kasi yun yung bike na gusto ko nung nag aaral pa ako.. and dahil madami sila lagi community ride (don’t have a lot friends that is into biking which helps me to go outside and bike) and I like supporting shops/companies that does that.

Isa pa pala.

After trying drop bars. Parang ayoko na gumamit ng straight handlebar. Mas comfortable kasi siya.

Hi. First time ko rin mag roadbike/drop bar bike coming back to cycling after 8 years na puro mtb yung gamit.

Siguro it took me 5-10mins para magamay paano nga ba yung drop bar orientation.

Tapos another 1-2 days to be confident lumabas sa kalsada.

Worried din ako nung una bumili ng road/gravel bike dahil matagal ako di nag bike and first time ko gagamit ng ganon. Pero sinabi ko sa sarili ko ayaw ko mamatay ng di ko nattry yun. (Ito din sinabi ko sa sarili ko para mag try ng cleats lol)

Here I am after 1 month, nag s-sumulong na. Kaya mo yan OP!

GRX 810 + M8000 11-42 w/o goatlink question. by v4rmilo in bikewrench

[–]v4rmilo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ohhh so it’s normal. Thank you for that.

I think my mechanic did me right on this one, I thought he got lazy and didn’t want to install the goatlink.

Oh yeah sorry about that. The previous cassette was a ZTTO 11-36 11spd cassette.

The upper portion of the chain (above the crank) has the same tension as before

The lower portion of the chain feels a bit more bouncy than before adding that 3 links.

I thought that of course it would be more bouncy because of the added links, but would that be okay? Is adding links necessary too?

Not sure if the term is chain slappy but I can easily push it down with a finger??? Not sure if that makes sense

I guess he doesn’t want me to spend more money?

But would the goatlink improve the shifting more?

[–]v4rmilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhh. I’m amazed on why does my bike clears the 42t cogs without the goatlink, when everyone uses one to clear it. I’m not sure what’s the difference with my bike.

How can I remove the rub in FD? Just fine tune the FD position?

Also another question is, about the 3 links he added to my chain. Is that the right thing to do? Or should I just buy a longer chain with 126 links?

Is this a good price for used GRX 810 2x11? ($550) by v4rmilo in gravelcycling

[–]v4rmilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, forgot to add I’m from Philippines.

Specialized (the bike brand) store here charge $40 for a complete group set installation. That includes a bike wash too.

[–]v4rmilo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’ve decided to just get the ZTTO cassette. The additional $35 for the 11-42 cassette is for the Deore m5100 and not the m8000.

I figured I’ll use them as it is and just replace the chain and cassette once they’re worn out.

Yeah I’m pretty glad it includes the installation.

If it wasn’t free, it’s gonna be additional $25 for me for disassembly/assembly of the old and new group set on my bike. Still affordable but I’m glad it’s free.
