Mountainbikes anyone?

[bikethief]

Just got into a new hobby. The wife decided we needed an alternative healthy pastime and so we got into mountainbikes! The local community pala is very active and trails for all skill levels are very accessible within reasonable traveltime from Metro Manila. It's also very good aerobic, non-impact exercise so the hobby is sustainable even for the older bunch. We decided to go for quality, pre-built trail bikes for our starter kit and slowly upgrade as our skill level progresses. I got a Jamis Dakar XC full suspension and the wife got a Marin Bobcat hardtail. Both got very good reviews on the net stating that these were being marketed as "entry-level trail ready" but are good enough to be used in even expert trails.

Anybody here into the same hobby?

I also got into mountain biking last month together with my high school/college buddies. I have a Merida TFS 500 hardtail. The trails that I have ridden are Maarat in San Mateo, La Mesa (although i think its still closed due to training of their staff).

I have yet to try Sta Rosa and the others.

There's a Tour of the Fireflies this April 20. Its a 41 km ride around Metro Manila.

See you in the trails

[Allegra]

Yup yup
My mtb is probably 5 years old na yata :) Diamondback frame ( bankrupt na hehe ), Marz Z1 forks , deore comps and various generic parts
I've been downgrading lately haha ayaw masira ng frame and fork

Sta rosa is a mtb town, dami trails from malacanang sa canlubang to Tags and down again to silang and sta rosa
Dami rin mayayabang hehe I suggest a good armbar agad

[Clusterbomb]

Welcome to the MTB world! Give it time and you will soon contract this quirky biker malady called "UPGRADE-ITIS". Ha-ha.

Kung sabagay, sakit din ito ng maraming shooters.

[bmag]

Anybody can say where would be the nearest trails, say from Paranaque?

[Evan N. Payawal]

First got a mountain bike, then when I started joining duathlons (sprint lang naman), lugi ako, sa got a road bike, he he.

You should try long distance road bike too Bikethiek. Very relaxing.

Joining organized bike rides (like Bike for Hope or Tour of the Fireflies) is most fun.

Evan

[edtf]

I'm into road naman. I also have a mtb hardtail but I'm too chicken ****** to do serious trails hehehehe. But I do road races here are there. There is a road race this weekend SCETEX our div would run 120 kms - ngayon palang parang linalagnat na ako sa dadating na hirap hahahahaha.

Nice bikes bikethief!!!!! where do you ride?

Fully concrete roads, little traffic ,killer climbs, daming shade, ganda ng views
If you start from a few towns further, kaya mag century

there is in portofino alabang (I'm not sure if they still allow people to ride in the area) then next place is Sta. Rosa - go to Sabak bikeshop and ride with the guys there - medyo hard core lang nga mga yon :supergrin:

[HEAVY]

how much ba yang mga entry level na bikes na yan?

[Allegra]

how much ba yang mga entry level na bikes na yan?


I got my friends sa gunclub Merida's for 17t
Deore comps , xt RD, rst forks

[i_am_infinity]

would that be able to take my weight of 230lbs? pano ba mag start dyan sa hobby na yan? will it help me to lose weight?

[batangueno]

Sinubukan ko yung mountain bike ko after so many years....kaya pa naman ako. :supergrin:

[Allegra]

I started riding mtbs when I weighed 220lbs :)
A friend of mine lost 17lbs in 3 days
Nagbike hanggang Laoag

WOW!!! d ko yata kaya ganun kalayo eh. do i need to go uphill for it to be effective in weight loss?

[grecco]

I am a avid biker here in the states,
check out the following link.
www.mtbr.com
tons of great info, sort of glocktalk of bikes

i own the following
Titus Moto Lite 2
Cracked the frames of a LiteSpeed Niota Al(terrible customer service)
and Tomac Eli

[Allegra]

WOW!!! d ko yata kaya ganun kalayo eh. do i need to go uphill for it to be effective in weight loss?


Seriously , if weight loss ang goal mo sa biking , hindi ka tatagal tatamarin ka agad
Dapat enjoy riding a bike sa trails ang goal, yung pasyal , yung barkada
Magugulat ka nalang sa mirror , pumapayat ka ( at kulay aspalto na rin )

[edtf]

would that be able to take my weight of 230lbs? pano ba mag start dyan sa hobby na yan? will it help me to lose weight?

Yes kayang kaya yan - just don't get the ultra light bikes. To start have a check up with a doctor if he gives you a green light to exercise get a good fitting bike (doesn't mean expensive - just one simple bike that fits you well) then ride it and ride some more. Yes you can lose weight but it depends still on your eating habits but one thing is for sure - you will feel better after a few weeks of biking. One thing with cycling is it is non impact so less chances of getting injured.

Oh yeah one thing with exercising your appetite might increase a few days to a week after starting but in the long run exercising is an appetite suppressant

[i_am_infinity]

cool! so what's the cheapest setup available sa market? sir allegra, how often do u go on trails?

[HEAVY]

would that be able to take my weight of 230lbs? pano ba mag start dyan sa hobby na yan? will it help me to lose weight?

it will certainly help you lose money. :cool:

[Allegra]

cool! so what's the cheapest setup available sa market? sir allegra, how often do u go on trails?

I'm not familiar w/ the new bikes
Daming bago every year
I got my friends 17t na Merida hardtails last year
It's not the cheapest pero sakin maganda na sya ( equivalent sa MAP1 hehe )

Dont ride the trails much ngayon kasi busy sa triathlon
Pero go to a good bikeshop sigurado they have a group who rides parati

[Allegra]

it will certainly help you lose money. :cool:


I dont think it will beat IPSC in that department :)
A bike mechanic would work on my bike the whole morning and charge me 100 bucks
Now Imagine metrillo as a bike mechanic haha

[HEAVY]

no, it cant beat ipsc sa gastos :)

and it comes nowhere near having the BRD.

:)

[i_am_infinity]

i'm confused :crying:

[HEAVY]

i'm confused :crying:

BRD = Black Rifle Disease. :embarassed:

[Allegra]

BRD = Black Rifle Disease. :embarassed:


Rifle is more expensive the pistol?

I thought baliktad , coz my friends shooting ipsc rifle dati told me bagay daw sa kuripot ang rifle
Wala naman ako kilalang kuripot hehe

Now shotgun , yan ang mahal
5t laglag sa isang practice session
An O/U na Per***i would be....?

i know that area. it used to be part of my area of responsibility when i was in sales. bundok lahat yan.

[agentrod]

Now this is also a new hobby for me. Currently have a Taiwan MTB to use for biking with my kid but doing research on a sturdy trail bike. Leaning on a hardtail and some entry level "sturdy parts". Looks like I will be spending around 15K to build it.

Sosyal na sya ngayon , they have a bar now :)
Ganda sa Lucban , ganda ng weather malamig and it rains everyday now
Ang babait pa ng mga Lucbanin , si Dojo lang alam kong masungit na taga Lucban haha

[edtf]

cool! so what's the cheapest setup available sa market? sir allegra, how often do u go on trails?

you can get a built bike for around 13k - jamis brand or build your own around 11k. I agree with allegra - don't do hills and climbs first - hirap lang abot mo niyan - enjoy the sport first puro patag and good roads muna. 30-45 min a day would be fine.

Sobrang daming tri people joined mga tiga polo-tri - sosy crowd :supergrin: Subok ka lang sanayan lang yan sa tutok. Dami ko nga pingsabihan - dito ka lang sa loob tutok lang 100 km pa tayo - hehehehe

what is the difference between roadbike and MTB?

im thinking of a budget project bike that i would build for this year. Still have six months to go. care to share some ideas

[isuzu]

Speaking about bikes, there's a bike race that was featured on TV last night. One biker from Calgary said that they could be on a bike 20 hours a day, and could be pedalling for 700 kms a day:

i have been mtn biking and road biking for around 10 years now. I started ridning when my son got into cross country mtn biking racing and cyclocross. i did a few races in the masters class that kicked my *****. I always got lapped by the female riders as they started right after the men!

i have a cannondale jekyl and a R2000 road bike. here in NC we have a lot of great mtn bike single track. Any one here ever been to Tsali in NC? If you are in the southeast you need too ride there some day! i have got to get back there this year

road bikes are the racers - the ones you see in tour de france or warlboro tour/ tour de pilipinas befores - thin tires and handle bars that look like sheep horns :)
mtb - straight bar some with shocks infront and or rear back. Thicker tires and usually with studs.

for city use: hardtail, rigid fork and slick tires or check out the built bikes (jamis or giant) for commuters. To keep the price down no need for disc brakes - nice to have but not needed for city use. Budget around 15k

puwede ba gawa tayo ng beginners ride - kahit sa La Mesa damn sobrang ganda daw and you have a guide pa. Gastos lang ng konti -1k for the guide up to 5 riders max. More riders more guides lang.
What do you guys say?? Tama na muna yung shooting mahal na bala bike naman tayo :supergrin:

bro binoy, where did you buy the hooks that is fastened to the wall? thanks

[Single Stacker]

Thanks mga pre! It is not really your hardcore downhill rig. It is something in between a cross country bike and a downhill specific one. If I am not mistaken it is an all terrain thing.

Left mountian biking when I noticed that riders are getting younger, more adventurous, daring and spectacular in their riding while I started to feel the pain hehehehehehehehe.

I would really love to go back but would need some barkada to ride along with. This time I need to go biking to get fit unlike before which is to get some thrills thats why it is boring for me now and need an added push:supergrin:

See you around the tracks soon (in my case probably around CCP center and MOA during mornings hehehehehe).

Binoy,

Your bike is also a cross breed of sorts with mountain breeding but slick tires for ease of use along the paved roads. Wag mo na benta lets ride together on weekends punta ka CCP kita tayo sa may harbour view tapos heavy breakfast tayo dun hehehehehe.

Ayain mo na rin si Captain Barbel mukhang kailangan na rin nun ng exercise. Wag lang si Tigra and Judge at talagang namumuhunan yun sa mga tyan nila nyahahahahaha.

how much kaya ang bike rack para madala ko sa koste yung mTB?

It depends - from 3k and above. Depends on where you want to put it. roof or spare tire or trunk or inside the vehicle.
Check out life cycle naman they are the distributors of hollywood racks and then jump over to Thule located across diamond motors. But be warned mahal sa thule :)

to add: Sir Wp.22, I suggest you get a spare inner tube, tire levers and a small pump when you get your helmet. Flats are pretty common especially during rainy season. When you buy the items I suggested to have the mechanic teach you how to use it. Don't be shy to ask - lahat tayo nagsisimula sa ganyan.

ang ayoko sa bike rack , madali nakawin yung bike , di pwede iwan sa parking ng matagal
I just remove both wheels at saddle , kasya na kahit lancer size car

Ganda ng bike a
Looks better than mine , w/c is 7 years old na yata

Takes little practice to learn to remove the rear wheel , para lang nag field strip ng baril
Pero dapat talga matutuo ka , in case you get a flat

tama yung straight for both mtb and road pero hindi diretsong diretso. Try pedaling for a few minutes then place your heel on the pedal (while on the bike and bike is running). Your leg should be straight or near straight. When you put back your foot on the right position there should be a bit of a bend. This will eliminate your hip rocking side ways too (too much extension)

Hindi ako nagbibiro baka gusto ninyo mag la mesa dam ride tayo. As in pasyal tayo kuwentuhan bolahan ganon lang. Meron naman guide/chaperon na forest ranger

bogs biking team naman,moa and picc area,kakabili ko lang din ng bike 2 weeks ago,hard tail BRIDGESTONE bike,belt type hindi kadena,3 speed,binili ko sa japan surplus.

[Allegra]

Some of the guys at our gun club already has started riding every morning , kwentuhan/breakfast ride
Like shooting , mas masaya pag barkadahan

Ever since I started riding years ago , laki na ng natipid ko
Not just because it's cheaper than ipsc , or sa tipid sa gas
Tipid din sa damit, all I wear everyday is shorts at tshirt hehe
Tipid sa relos , it's a p2500 heart rate monitor
Tipid sa gimik , kasi maaga ang tulog

Plus riding thru La Mesa Park or the Bataan killer Loop, or bombing down the rock gardens ng Makiling or crisscrossing Sagada makes you realize you dont need a lot of money to have this much fun or satisfaction
Bigyan nga ng bisikleta mga taong gobyerno

[binoy]

siguradong lawit ang dila ni binoy and SS sa pag pedal!!!:rofl:

cross country ha.......pag umangkas si JuDGe sa bike ni alex, siguradong otso gulong nya sa likod.......hahahahahaha!!!:tongueout::cool:

Hahahahah ... mga 2 corners lang na angkas si Judge.. para ka na ring nag cross country .... that is kung kaya ng gulong ... :supergrin::supergrin:

[Single Stacker]

pwede kaya if we go biking yung flat road muna wala masyado uphill newbie eh (mataba ako). Sa lugar ko kasi puro paahon pag labas ng gate kahit saan ako dumaan advantage lang pag uwi kasi downhill na. ( p. Guevarra, wilson, m. marcos, barcelona sts.) lahat uphill.

try greenhills center muna - ikot ikot lang for a couple of weeks. Early morning so that there aren't cars pa. Then when you get bored take those hilly rides. If you don't mind the traffic take wilson, ortigas go to QC up to Channel 2 then back.

flat din sa moa - anong araw ninyo gusto - pero dapat maaga para hindi tayo mahassle ng traffic or speeding buses

scroll down -- not mine but imagine clear coat over carbon fiber frame and black rear frame.

old school these days but does the job. cant off road any longer but provides a plush ride on the road with firm road tires.

great sport great for fitness while having fun great way to see nature. pack emergency kit / tool kit with replacement tubes and fire making needs in your hydration pack in case you spend the night on the mountain or break a leg. Use buddy system.

Thanks

Paul, puwede ka magpaayos diyan sa All Terra sa Libis, o kaya merong bike shop sa Panay Avenue, Xtreme Bike Shop.

Sir you mean you bike 3 hours a day!! wow sana puwede din ako ganyan :)

I just came from there this afternoon. I had my bike serviced. Ayoko talaga pumunta sa mga bike shop parang shooter na pumunta sa gunshop or kids going to toy r us :supergrin:

I saw giant, trek and merida bikes there. There was this trek street/commute bike that caught my eye - ang ganda - simple lang 7 speed and it uses 700x31c tires the bad part is it was 50k :wow:.

Bulacan ka diba madaming bikers diyan. try going to http://www.pinoymtbiker.org/ I'm sure they can help you out.
Tama yan use any bike first then when you are sure na you want to get into biking then upgrade na!!
BTW, Iniisip ko how to get from Bulacan to MOA - puwede eh - Pass Maycauyan to Bagumbong, then novaliches, Del Monte, Quezon Ave. Espana, MOA. :supergrin:

[productionguy]

madami na dito mga mtb riders,actually meron silang ginagawang offroad tracks just 5 minutes away from my house,pero hindi ko pa kaya ung offroad,lalawit pa ang dila ko hehehe.
from bulacan/meycauayan going to moa pwede via mc arthur,monumento then abad santos going to binondo tapos labas manila city hall,roxas blvd na,

Got my new bike today! Here's a pic from the net. This is what it looks like stock. I'll post pics of the actual unit I got plus a few upgrades tomorrow.

It's an 08 Haro X7. All-mountain ang config niya meaning it's beefier than XC (cross-country) but still light enough to be pedalled uphill. It's also not as hard-core as dedicated downhill bikes but it can handle most of the DH courses here in the Philippines.

YUP. Funny thing if you are riding a car and see people biking high noon you would think of them as crazy. Then you will find yourself doing the same thing :supergrin:

Tim, ganito pala ang all mountain mahaba yung front shox. tw si AllanRR nagtatanong na sa PMTB board nagbubuo pala.

[Chie]

how much should i budget if i want a bike that i can use around the village? should i buy a completely built one or start from scratch? say a mid level bike :supergrin:

[Eye Cutter]

Nagtanong ako sa all-terra sa libis dati. yung mga Jamis bikes around 12-15k

[Wp.22]

chie bili ka the same ng kay 3kings jamis trail x 3 sa cartimar nasa 13k plus lang.

[productionguy]

for on road village and moa and up use pwedeng pwede na ung jamis or gt bike.simple ang magaan.ganun din target ko bilihin.

[edtf]

i was asking my office mate a former football captain of RP team regarding muscle ache he told me mag bike ka lang ulit tangal yan.

tama yan. As long as hindi injury yan ok to keep on biking just use a lighter gear. Light gear high RPM (your legs). In fact you call this ride as a loosening ride

[edtf]

Nagtanong ako sa all-terra sa libis dati. yung mga Jamis bikes around 12-15k

YES bili ka na DOC!!!:cheerleader:

[edtf]

if you get the urge for upgradetitis - wala yan sa arrow sa indian yan :) - parang shooting din yan. PERO sarap din naka full carbon road bike kaysa mga pakaragkarag na bike - hehehehe

[Wp.22]

Fork pa lang may 20k plus na ilang bala din un at major parts sa beng beng

[Allegra]

I've never had the urge to upgrade [ shocking ]
Parang pa downgrade nga parts ng bisikleta ko , lalo tag ulan

[bikethief]

Pot,

Si allan got a Santa Cruz Bullit frame. He's scouting for the other components as we speak. Sobra ang patience ni Allan. No compromise sa parts na gusto niya kaya ang tagal mabuo. (just like his AR)

Ako instant gratification kaya i got the HARO.

[edtf]

Medyo sinipag ako kanina kaya lininis ko bikes ko :)

Let's bike! I'm doing the Sta. Rosa "Reverse Upak" this tuesday. It is a newbie friendly trail which includes all aspects of mountain biking. We will be taking the reverse "Upak" trail in Sta. Rosa which consists of a moderate ascent, moderate downhill (40-45kph. max) and a scenic single track trail through corn and pineapple fields with a gorgeous view of Makiling.

Who's in?

Pampagana before a fun ride

[Single Stacker]

Yup. There were lots of them and the best i would say are the KRANKED & Northshore series. KRANKED 6 na ata ngayon. I still have them (old ones) in VHS and if you want and still have a VHS player I can lend them to you.

Great MTB riding was started by Hans Ray who I think visited us again recently. Others during my time are Brian Lopes, Cedric Gracia , Ryan Leech and the daredevil of them all Josh Bender (buhay pa kaya ito?).

[Wp.22]

yesterday went biking at 1pm paksyet ang init attended the laching of nikon club phils at gerry's grill sa jupiter st. makati. i thought di ko kakayanin ang makati mandaluyong bridge buti na lang maganda strenching na ginawa ko.

question bakit mas pagod ako sa papunta than pabalik from biking?

[atmarcella]

diba when you travel by car ganun din. mas mabilis pabalik kesa papunta hehe. i dunno why, cguro psychological.

[edtf]

I agree could be psychological plus I bet your ride going home is a bit slower and a lot more relaxed. This happens to us too on rides - such a big relief that we are near the end of the ride

[edtf]

Eh Boss baka naman sobrang hi tech kasi bike mo to start with :supergrin:

[atmarcella]

parang bundok ano hehe. papunta uphill. so nakaka pagod. ang destination yan ang tuktuk ng bundok. pabalik downhill na. so mas hindi nakaka pagod. so kahit pareho lang ang incline papunta at pabalik. ganun pa rin ang feeling. just shows kung gaano ka powerful mind natin ano!

[Allegra]

Eh Boss baka naman sobrang hi tech kasi bike mo to start with :supergrin:

No no

[Wp.22]

yup more relax ang pagbalik walang stress masyado yung mndset ko sa pagbalik gusto ganun din sa pag punta.

sa tour de france sana kasama yung dalawang babes sa prize kada stage hehehehe

[atmarcella]

yung mndset ko sa pagbalik gusto ganun din sa pag punta

pot, i think this is possible. theory lang to ha. what you do is you dont plan your ride. you just ride on a whim. parang isang araw me panahon ka tapos wala kang magawa......ride!

ang theory is if you plan you brace yourself for the ride. if you dont plan you dont brace yourself. so mas "loose" ka. mas relax.

try it. if it works post mo dito. good luck hehehehe.

one more thing. papunta ka you set variable destinations. parang kung baga dun kalang muna sa malapit, kung kaya pa then dagdagan mo konti, kung kaya pa dagdag ulit, and so on and so forth.
