my new red color dragon 45mm mountain bike mtb stem #shorts

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been planning to get a red handlebar and bike stem for my new Raleigh mountain bike and it finally arrived. I thought of using the original black bike stem that came with the bike but decided to change it too. Since I'm changing the handlebar, might as well.

I've been eyeing the red bike stem with the dragon for a while and since I've got myself a new bike, I decided to get it. I like my bike to look cool and different from other bikes out there. Guess, it's my personal preference.

I've been using the pro Honsun products brand and really like it. I think they're from Taiwan. I've been to Taiwan once during my military training. Really nice and friendly people. We were sitting around outside their house and they offered us food and water.

Anyway, back then I remembered they're known for their quality electronic parts worldwide. Kinda funny, buying bike parts makes me reminisce about the old days. Well anyway, I really like the design and quality of the pro Honsun brand.

While surveying the new handlebar I found there are new carbon materials and designs. I almost bought them but aren't sure about their quality and long-lasting ability. I don't want to ride halfway down a hill and suddenly snap the handlebar.

When going riding, I always remind myself that I'm old and don't want to get hurt unnecessarily. My two thumbs still hurt when I smashed them on a metal railing earlier part of the year. When you're old, your body might not be able to heal properly.

Right now, I'm waiting for my new bike pedal and other parts to arrive. Especially, my new bike pedal by ROCKBROS brand. I found one with a nice design and color that fits my Raleigh mountain bike. I also bought Schrader valve caps, bike pedal bolts, a bottle cage, and a portable bike pump.

I just ordered a bike frame chain guard. Frankly, back when I first got my first mountain bike, I wouldn't have done anything to it. It was already beautiful and I was surprised how good the gear was to be able to go up a grass hill. Now, it's kinda fun to be able to order parts and change them yourself.





Oh, I might want to change the handlebar grips too, one day. I guess at the moment, that should be it. I'll definitely take pictures, videos and blog about it when they arrive. Can't wait for the bike pedal to arrive. Another bike project for me to do. Lol!

done! changed my mountain bike grips after I ripped it in a fall #shorts

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I ripped my mountain bike right grips trying to do a jump on a pathway. For some reason, I swerved to the right and smashed on a drain railing. I would have fallen into the drain if it weren't there. I scratched my visor, which probably protected me from a broken nose.

My right thumb still hurts. I have bruises on my right hips and cuts on my right cheek and tummy. Which I only realized when looking at the mirror. Nothing serious though. My handlebar turned 90 degrees but luckily, it's not bent or even a scratch.

The right grip and end plug received the worst hit. I only realized later the right grip lock-on ring was missing. It must still be around the pathway somewhere. I have actually bought another handlebar grip before using the current design. I guess it's good to have extra grips prepared.

You can check out the latest mountain bike grips that I've changed video here. I like the idea of changing different grips once in a while. Nowadays, the grips are the type that comes with a lock-on ring and you can easily take it off and put a new one.

The handlebar grips that I ripped had a nice skeleton pirate face design. It's a silicone type. I'm not sure if they sell a replacement as the grip itself is still intact. There are not or almost any bike grips with any cool anime design. Although, I prefer the rubber type with a better grip.

The new current bike grips that I've changed with palm ergonomic design feel pretty good. You can rest your palm on the grips while cruising through the pathway. I wish it has better graphic design though. Now, it looks pretty bland.

Everyone has their own preference with the handlebar grips. My original grips which have a simple boxy design was surprisingly good. Even though it looks cheap. I think they modified the size of the right grip as it comes with the Shimano gear shifter.

I can't seem to find a bike grip that has two different lengths for this type of gear shifter. I might have to buy the type of grips that can be easily cut short but still looks as if part of the gear shifter. There also aren't any camo design grips.

Colors, graphic design, and grip patterns are important to me. Okay, maybe it's not really important to other people who just want one that provides a good grip. But, I'm an urban rider mostly using my bike to and fro to work and home.

I like my bike to look as cool as possible while riding. That's why I've changed most of my bike parts. I've changed the bike seat, pedal, handlebar, stem, brake lever, etc. For some reason, I like dong works on my bike too. As much as riding on it.






Well, the more you ride, the more experienced you get. One thing I learned is that, I prefer a bike helmet with a visor. It definitely help protect my face, especially my nose which had once broken before. Though, not from cycling.

my new gold color 2 finger mountain bike bicycle brake lever

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, my new gold color 2 finger mountain bike brake lever finally arrived today. I haven't changed it yet as I'm waiting for my new colorful bike handlebar and stem. I also ordered a new bike seat with a bear design. Kinda cool.

I've been changing my bike parts since the day I bought my new folding mountain bike. I'm not sure why. Maybe, I'm bored or I like the feeling of doing the works on it. I know people are looking at my bike. One guy though only commented on my Redbull Aero bike helmet.

When I make a youtube video of my new mountain bike, some commented that it's cheap and even say I should just walk. Yes, it's actually cheap. I even got it on an offer price. I'm not a pro rider and bought a bicycle so that I can cycle to work.

Another reason is that I can save money on my travel fare and also try sliming my body or rather my tummy. I have already lost around 5kg and reached my target of getting down below 70kg. I'm feeling ecstatic when I see my weight going down.

Frankly, I haven't ridden a bike for a long time. I had a pink mountain bike once. But, I gave it away. I stop using it after I finished school. I used to visit my schoolmate and train TKD aka tae kwon do at a basketball court near his house at night.

I should have kept it. But, I lost interest. Now, it's all coming back again. The good thing is that I'm using it every day now to ride to and fro to work and home. I'm also enjoying buying and changing the bike parts and fixing them myself.

I thought it would be easy but, luckily I had bought all-in-one bike tools which are pretty handy. I also look up some bike videos to see how to for example change the bike grip. Now, that I know how to take it off, I can change it later.

Right now, as I've said, I'm waiting for my new handlebar, bike stem, bike grips, and new seat. I can't wait for them to arrive and starts fitting them. For some reason, I enjoy sitting outside my apartment and working on my bike. The past few weeks, I've been busy changing and fitting new parts.

Hopefully, all the bike parts that I ordered will arrive by this week. If not, they'll probably arrive next week or a rather next year. I guess it's a nice way to end the year with a new hobby and a new slimmer tummy. Since I've bought an exercise bench and weights, I'm achieving my goals.

Next year, I might start cycling a little further than my workplace and go to interesting places. I still have my Nikon P950 83x optical zoom camera and I haven't been using it for a while. That reminds me, I need to check the battery level.

What do you guys think?
