One of the first things I did when I got into biking, was thoroughly research bike maintenance. Naturally cleaning was a part of it. And I was lucky to be able to source a DVD wherein there was a segment showing how a Shimano tech would clean his bike; mentioning stuff to look out for, etc. etc.
I thought I’d share the procedure because it really is pretty simple to do, but not as straightforward if you want to maintain the longevity of your components. Read More
I have a feeling that even “Take 10” wouldn’t be the end of it, this trail never ceases to impress us.
Take 2 was an “impromptu” thing because technically, it was cancelled due to the weather. But about 4 of us persisted and the rest was history. Take 3 was the planned re-scheduling, but this time most of the people agreed to the “rain or shine” stipulation. Good thing the stipulation was made, because this is how the weather was at one point:
In fact, just as when we were just about to hit the trail, it started pouring! Read More
Been a while since I posted. While there may be some stuff I would want to blog about, I’m not feeling “profound” these days.
Instead, I’ll just be my usual shallow self and talk about some stuff coming in this august (c/o my friend Arjay) – I’m stoked! So this is what it feels like to drool over stuff you technically already own; the wait is killing me!
Today was supposed to be another fun big-group newbie ride, but because of the rains it was cancelled… but there were some of us who still “pushed” through despite the risks of a much wetter/muddier trail. It was worth it!
More photos hereI went with Bruno, Alan and AJ. I ended up being the newbie there as the former two already compete… and AJ while a “newbie” biker as well, seemed to have this monstrous endurance! Read More
This entry and its contents are updated whenever
there’s a change in the “item” being discussed 😉
Bike/post was last updated 2009.08.26
Because the post is too long to be re-read whenever
there are updates, each section has been date-stamped
(mm.dd.yy) – so you can skip right to the recent changes.
I noticed that while I’ve been posting about my biking experiences, I’ve never taken the time to talk about my bike itself in detail. 1 I have posted about parts I was planning to buy, and some specs here and there, but nothing in-depth (plus, I hardly get to cover the little details as much as I would want to) As such, I’ve decided to consolidate all my bike’s “details” into a single entry which I can update whenever applicable. This makes it easier as I just have to just point people who ask about my setup to a single URL and know that it will be fairly current.
I also will discuss my personal journey/process of how I picked every part of my bike in context of being a newbie myself – which could be useful for anyone who’s planning to get into the sport and have the same concerns/questions that I once had.
