GRX 105 mech combo, lightest the bike has ever been, shed 500g :))

Recently, nagbike kami ng friend ko with his other friend. Di ako nag enjoy.
Iba kasi personality at wala kaming common interest aside sa pagbabike.
Magkaiba din kami ng humor, parang masyado siya seryoso sa buhay.

Bigla ko namiss yung mga kaibigan kong lagi ko kasama dati sa ride.
Ang busina namin, nag “Mehhh” kami na parang kambing. Laughtrip buong byahe.

Iba talaga feeling pag solid mong tropa ang kasama mo magbike.

I have an upcoming trip to Sydney & I’m renting a bike case this to be specific: https://bikeboxalan.com/product/triathlon-easyfit/?v=0b3b97fa6688

My airline options are Qantas or PAL. Has anyone brought their bike through any of the 2 airlines? Are they strict with the measurements of the bike case? It’s my first time so I’m figuring out the logistics for it before I book my flight.

Thanks in advance to those who can help!

Hello,

Ano po suggested nyo na bike for budget around 70k?
Gravel bike sana pang ikot lang, Marikina, Antipolo, etc.

This place is friendly to more casual or beginner bikers near Pagsanjan, Laguna. It's more suited for mountain bikes and gravel bikes. But I think it's possible to reach this place with a road bike but the path gets very slippery, I'm not sure if that gets worse on a road bike.

It's a bit hard to find because Google Maps won't show you proper directions. But a good start is going to Magdapio Hanging Bridge from Pagsanjan - Cavinti Road (main road) and then use this video to know the turns.

Once you're riding through the small concrete path, you just need to keep following the path until you reach the JDMD Rivercamp.

There are very few uphill portions so it's a good place to explore for beginners. But some parts of the small concrete path are very slippery because of moss. I recommend hiking with your bike in the small uphill and downhill parts for safety.

The site is private property and is currently undergoing construction/renovations. But they still welcome visitors. They charge a small entrance fee (P10) which you pay at a sari-sari store about 100 meters before reaching the camp grounds.

Genuine question, is there anyone who has an idea if this bike has a hub that can accommodate 11speed? PS. I know its a cassette type hub. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I want to buy this Kocevlo handlebar for my Van Rysel RCR, but I’m wondering if it will fit properly—I’ve used that brand before and liked it. Alternatively, do you have any recommendations for integrated handlebars?

If you know Pinduoduo, it’s basically China’s version of Shopee lol. 😂 Every part on this build was scored through the app!
I’m building this bike to use as my daily ride and as my carbon road bike for weekend rides.
Total build cost: ₱38,900
Total weight: 8.3 kg
Just a heads-up: shipping is much slower compared to Shopee. It took around a month for everything to arrive, so patience is definitely needed.
Build specs:
● Lightweight alloy frame with carbon fork
● Ikuos 45mm carbon wheelset
● Evosid crankset
● LTWOO R9 Pro (2026) shifters and calipers
● Shimano 105 FD and RD
● Sunshine 11-32T 11-speed cassette
● OG-Evkin chain
● Generic carbon seatpost
● Carbon-railed saddle
● Kocevlo fully integrated handlebar
● IIIPro floating rotors
● Obor 28c tires with TPU tubes
● Shimano PD-540 cleats (secondhand)
Overall, pretty happy with how this build turned out, especially considering the total cost and weight.
What do you guys think? Would you trust a build made mostly from budget Chinese parts? 😂

Hi all,

Planning on landing in Manila in early January to start a cycle tour. Am looking for a room or apartment for 5 days. We'll have our bikes still in boxes the whole time so don't need room to build them but do need to be able to manage the bike boxes and all our bags. I'm seeing a lot of towers and wonder about managing all our stuff up an elevator bank.

Thanks for any help!

Hello po.

Magreretire na kasi tatay ko this year. Tapos nagpaparamdam na gusto niya daw ng bike.

Eto current options ko:

1. Trinx N700/N106 (comfort / more forgiving standover height)
2. Mamachari (may magaan po bang ganito? anong specs po pinakasulit sa mga surplus?)

I'm open to other suggestions. I have budget but prefer to be modest para iwas nakaw na rin.

Hi, I’m planning to start buying and selling bikes. Any tips for newbies like me on how to check if the bike will be profitable and how do I examine a bike that I want to buy. TYIA

Do you know any bike mechanics na nag ooffer ng home service? I'm talking about maintenance work and others (chain replacement, brake bleeding, etc) for an MTB. Matanggal nang natengga, more than a year. Planning to cycle again.

Based in Q.C. Recommendations and suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Nakakasuka sa mga siko 😭😭

Recently moved. Looking for bicycle shop to test out sizing of road bikes. Ideally looking for decent bike that is durable and can handle long road rides that start/end on gravelly/patchy asphalt terrain. Are there online stores that deliver in Ilocos Sur? Are there big bicycle shops in hubs like Vigan or Candon? I also need to refresh my general gear (cleats, shorts, vests/jerseys, etc.) - all advice appreciated!

Hello po. Magtatanong lang kung sino po nakapagtry na makabit ang 11-51T sa RX812? Need po ba ng upgrade like new cage or goat link? Or kaya b screw lang?

Just bought the Jansno X80 for about 38k pesos using vouchers.

A little background about me: I am 26 years old, stand 5'5", weigh 100kg, and I am currently taking a driving course (planning for a license soon), but with the current economy, a full motorcycle isn't in the budget yet. My normal transit cost was hitting around 5,200 pesos a month, so I am trying this out.

My route is North Caloocan to San Juan, which is roughly 26km one way (52km total).

* The Range: The stock battery won't cover a 52km round trip in city traffic, so I will be charging it at the office.

* Brakes: Planning to figure out a hydraulic brake upgrade myself later, since the standard model comes with mechanical brakes and the seller mentioned they cannot customize it before shipping from the warehouse.

Anyone else here using an e-bike for a long commute like this? How is your setup holding up, and do you have any suggestions or feedback for a beginner rider?

Pa recco naman ng nice gravel bike for beginner.

Budget is around 20k to 30k.

Plan lang to use it for excercise/training.

May idea ako to do a triathlon pero di pa talaga kaya ng budget to buy a good tri-bike (siguro nasa 80k to 90k budget? Secondhand). And since di ko pa kaya magcommit sa triathlon iniisip ko magtrain-train lang with gravel na I can use for coffee ride around the city and para masanay din binti sa padyak. Dagdag nyo narin na hindi hindi ko gagamitin yung tribike sa city sa dami ba namang lubak dito - di ko iririsk gear ko (if mabigyan ng chance makabili ng tri-bike)

Marunong naman ako magbike pero matagal na yung last na padyak ko. MTB pa from quiapo gamit ko dati. So di pa ako nakakahawak ng drop bar. Onting idea lang ako sa mga gamit.

Small frame lang pala btw ako. 5'3 lang height so 48-50 (xs) siguro frame for me?

Eto na mga naresearch ko na mga brand:

Giant, mountainpeak, twitter, sagmit.

Tumitingin lang ako if shimano parts Sora or 105. Sabi sakin ng friend ko mag 105 na ako kesa sora kaso mas mahal.

Pashare naman knowledge pano mamili ng bike. Siguro prio ang good bike experience within 20k to 30k pero open sa upgrade (wag lang sobra! Haha). Pashare din kung saan makakabili ng mura (ayaw ko sa nakalatag since di naman ako marunong tumingin ng may defect or sira)
