Hey guys,
Check it out!
I was randomly checking out mountain bikes on an online store when I saw an offer for a new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike. After I asked a few questions about its gear speed upgrade from 27 to 30-speed, I decided to grab it as it's one of the last two available.
I've seen the Raleigh brand bikes before but not really into it. There aren't many designs that I like. Not particularly a fan of their logo on the bike fork. But, sometimes, the pictures don't really show off their beauty until you see them for yourself.

When I went to look at its online store again, it was sold out. I was already been thinking of getting a polygon brand bike that is selling at $600. It was on show at a bike shop where I had to send my foldable mountain bike for a new tire replacement.
Yes, my bike tire literally went out with a loud bang. It sounded like a freaking gunshot. Though, when I heard it, I wasn't really surprised. I think I had over-pumped it the day before. I'm not really sure what caused it though. It happens right after I went over a road bump.

I thought I might have cut the tire side but, there wasn't any sharp end. The side of the tire was ripped and I didn't really see the inner tube. I was lucky it happens near my workplace and there was a bike shop nearby. A colleague showed me the exact place.
I send over my bike during lunchtime and told the bike shop owner to change both the tires. He said mine was a cheap made-in-china type. I replied that I had cycled faraway distances for almost a year without any problem. Anyway, he showed me my new tires and I've been using them since.

The thing is, I felt more comfortable with my original tires and it seems wider than the one I have now. In fact, I'm still getting used to it and my confidence seems to have disappeared. I'm afraid to go down a small hill with it. But, I might one day. It doesn't seem too steep looking from below. Lol.
Anyway, they're building a new track slope near my workplace so I don't have to cut through grass anymore. If I chose to go to work on my road bike I don't have to make a big round too. I love riding to work on my mountain bike or my road bike. It's a good quick workout or rather a warmup.

I find that getting a mid-budget bike is pretty much good enough for a regular rider like me. I'm already too old to join any competition even if I'm interested. I got into riding again because I wanted to exercise and particularly to slim down my big belly.
I still have a big belly but I've managed to lose some weight. I also got a little fitter and am able to cycle to faraway parks and nature reserves. I love cycling and enjoying nature and visiting beaches. Satisfied with my new bikes and learned how to maintain and changed parts.

I've stickers out my bike and some accessories that were included as free gifts. Already bought a new handlebar and stem. Can't wait for them to arrive and fix them on my Raleigh mountain bike. The handlebar is a little too low and hurt my back so I also bought a stem extender.
What do you guys think?
