done! my new Raleigh mountain bike mtb red color handlebar and stem

UPANBIKE MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar φ31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 720mm/780mm Riser Bar for MTB, BMX, Road Bike, Mountain Bike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My red color handlebar and stem finally arrived on Friday and although at first, I thought of fitting it on Saturday evening after work, I decided to straight away do it. The good thing is that I managed to do it a little quicker with less problem than when I do it the first time around.

I guess experience does matter. When I did replacement parts on my foldable mountain bike, I had many problems as it was my first time and most of it is guesswork. But, I managed to settle it in the end. I don't really mind as it was a cheap bike. I'm now thinking of selling it off.

I love my new Raleigh mountain bike. It's a budget bike but I love the design and it's definitely much lighter than my other mtb. I'm also not going crazy about replacing some of the parts as it's very much different or better. That's why at the moment, I just changed the handlebar and bike stem.

I chose red because I didn't want another colorful setup. Also, there's a little nice red art on the bike frame. I love the pro-Honsun design, and already know the quality of their product. Like the little dragon design on it. They're also pretty light.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might like a different color or design. There are plenty of them. In any case, I'm still thinking if I want to change the bike pedal. I think the one on my Raleigh mountain bike is the cheap type.

Okay, just another excuse for me to change it. I'm also going for red. I'm still looking around as I like the one with a little different and cool design. There's no point for me to change anything if there's nothing cool about the new parts.

I like going for long distance right either with my mountain bike or road bike. I think now, I'll prefer my road bike as it seems I can ride faster and further with it. Though, I also like riding long distance on my mountain bike too. Simply because a mtb is more flexible.

When I was a kid, I didn't really enjoy cycling. I didn't really use it. My dad bought me a 2nd hand bike that was to me really ugly. I think it was made up of parts that someone just scrap from other old bikes. I hate the handlebar and it has two different size tires.

I end up leaving the ugly bike lock-up in a rental public housing building. I came back after a while wondering if it's still there but it was gone. My 2nd bike was a mountain bike and it was much prettier in pink. It was so pretty a girl asked me if she could test ride it.

I only needed it to and fro to a friend house for our TKD aka tae kwon do training. I think it was in the early 90s and like how I can easily climb grass slope with it. After I finished school, and stop visiting my friend that I stop cycling and end up just giving the bike away. 

Now, several decades later, I'm back to cycling and loving it!

my new Raleigh x philip rl900 Mountain bike mtb #shorts

Accolmile 27.5" Electric Mountain Bike: ColaBear Adult Ebike with 8fun 48V 750W Mid Drive Motor & 17.5Ah Removable Lithium Battery & 860C Display, Shimano 8 Speed Gears

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.



Accolmile 27.5" Electric Mountain Bike: ColaBear Adult Ebike with 8fun 48V 750W Mid Drive Motor & 17.5Ah Removable Lithium Battery & 860C Display, Shimano 8 Speed Gears

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.



Hiland 27.5 inch Mountain Bike 27 Speeds, Lock-Out Suspension Fork, Aluminum 18/19.5 inch Frame Hydraulic Disc-Brake for Men Women Men's MTB Bicycle Adult Bike

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.

Check out my new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike below:




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.

My new cycling biking hiking camping shoe green #shorts

Foxelli Men’s Hiking Boots – Waterproof Suede Leather Hiking Boots for Men, Breathable, Comfortable & Lightweight Hiking Shoes

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself a hiking boot since I'll be hiking to the parks soon. I haven't been trekking or checking out nature for a long time. Mostly because I was busy with work and too tired to go out. I'll rather stay at home and watch youtube or play games.

It was only when I bought a mountain bike and started cycling to work that I realized there are beautiful and quiet places where you can go to enjoy nature and relax. First, I re-discovered the joy of cycling. Second, I discovered places that I never knew existed.



Foxelli Men’s Hiking Boots – Waterproof Suede Leather Hiking Boots for Men, Breathable, Comfortable & Lightweight Hiking Shoes

My main motivation was to start exercising and get back my six-packs. That's why I decided to get a bicycle and cycle to work rather than take the bus. It's not far but I need to get over a little slope which I call my personal 'slope of hell'. I had trouble getting over the slope in my first few months.

I did think the foldable bike that I bought wasn't suitable for my robust riding style. Maybe, the cheap bike wasn't good enough as I've seen those expensive types with better gears. Anyway, I did finally manage to cycle up the slope but did it better with a mountain bike. 



Timberland Men's White Ledge Mid Waterproof Hiking Boot

Once I re-discovered the joy of cycling and kinda train up, I decided to start cycling to nature parks and beaches. For long distances, I decided to get a road bike. Which to me will be much lighter and faster. Though, I'll prefer my mountain bike if the places I visit are mostly off-roads. 

You can check out my latest cycling video on my youtube channel here. To most nature parks, I can cycle but there are places where you can't. That's why I decided to just take public transport and go hiking or trekking without worrying about leaving my bike.



Skechers Men's Relment-Pelmo Hiking Boot

I'm ex-military, infantry. Training long day and night walk for missions. I love walking through the jungles. I thought I was done walking and camping. It's only now almost 30 years later that I started to enjoy doing physical, cycling, and walking enjoying what nature has to offer.

One thing I worry about is my bad knees. Every night, I'll have cramps but recently discover that drinking energy and even fruit juices help soothes my cramps and help me sleep at night. I thought only my calcium magnesium zinc vitamins helps. 



KEEN Women's Pyrenees Mid Height Waterproof Leather Hiking Boot

I don't have any medicine for my knees except medicated oil. I've done an x-ray and luckily there are no broken bones. Obviously, or I won't even be able to walk. But, there's still pain so I'm assuming it's just the muscles tissue problem. The doc makes me realize that my knees don't swell.

I do feel it getting warmer if I walk or stand too long. I can't run or jump or go down the staircase. That's why I prefer cycling. Hoping, it might help improve and heals my knee muscles. So far it's not working. In fact, my legs start to be over-strained.

Well, it certainly won't stop me from enjoying cycling or hiking. And, I'll enjoy it more with my new hiking boots. Oh yeah, wearing this type of boot reminds me how my army boots actually help protect my ankles. At my age right now, I can't afford to break anything. Lol.

cycling biking to coney island beach with my mountain bike mtb GoPro hero 10 black


GoPro HERO10 Black - E-Commerce Packaging - Waterproof Action Camera with Front LCD and Touch Rear Screens, 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 23MP Photos, 1080p Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love the GoPro Hero 10 Black. I've always wanted to buy a GoPro so that I can record while on the go. I've tried it out when cycling on my Java Veloce road bike. But, I didn't use the chest mount as it is kinda cumbersome.

Before I had the GoPro, cycling to Coney Island, I thought to myself if only I had an action camera. Now, that I finally have it, using it to record my ride on the little island. Which is excellent for mountain biking. Though, it's not a mountain. It's fun for off-road riding.



GoPro HERO10 Black - E-Commerce Packaging - Waterproof Action Camera with Front LCD and Touch Rear Screens, 5.3K60 Ultra HD Video, 23MP Photos, 1080p Live Streaming, Webcam, Stabilization

You can watch my coney island cycling biking video here. It was my first time using the chest mount and I make the mistake of not testing it out first. So, the first few mins are videos of the road, my legs, and the handlebar. I keep it as it's a different point of view.

After I reach the beach, which is another reason why you want to go cycling on coney island. I reposition the camera again. Oh yeah, I took some pictures with the GoPro and it's actually not that bad. It's great if you want everything to be on the GoPro MicroSD card.



SanDisk 256GB Ultra microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 120MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUA4-256G-GN6MA

Having all your videos and pictures in one card makes it easy and faster to transfer to your mobile or PC. I'm the lazy type so, I like everything to be in one easy-access place. Though, I did take videos and pictures on my iPhone 13. Especially, when you want to upload the #shorts video.

I brought my Nikon P950 camera along too but decided not to use it. Makes me wonder if I need it anymore since, my mobile phones and GoPro seems already good enough. But, then I thought, I still like using the P950 mostly because of the zoom capabilities.



Nikon COOLPIX P950

The problem for me is that I'll be needing a bigger backpack to bring all these stuff and their accessories. Of course, when you go cycling, you want to go light. But, I'm making videos for my youtube channel and other social media platform. So, I need to bring them along.

Yes, I already have bike bags if you're wondering. But, I prefer a backpack so that they'll always be with me and I don't have to worry about them being stolen if I leave them on my bicycle bags. I also don't want to put bike bags on my road bike. 



DJI Mavic 3 Fly More Combo - Camera Drone with 4/3 CMOS Hasselblad Camera, 5.1K Video, Omnidirectional Obstacle Sensing, 46-Min Flight, Advanced Auto Return, Max 15km Video Transmission

One day, I might want to get a drone that has the 'follow me' feature. I cycle alone and although there are ways to record yourself riding, having a drone that follows and record you in action will be practical and way cool. I'll need to save up though as they're pretty expensive.

I've played with drone and there are skill sets to master. Also, there are some place where drone are ban. You'll have to be mindful of that when using drone. Technology is good when it's for good reason but when people starts to abuse it's usage, we all suffer.


The pic is my foldable mountain bike. Some don't like it and saying thing such as it's crap. Just because, it's cheap doesn't mean it's not good. I cycle to work with this bike and also when going cycling. The bike is serving me well on my adventure.

Yesterday, I saw a cycler with his big tires type mountain bike. I was wondering why he's pushing his bike when I saw the front flat. His bike looks rather new. Just shows, big tires can easily get punctured too. Another reason why I got the foldable. So, that I can chuck it inside a cab when needs to.

Biking to Hampstead wetlands last fishing village and sembawang park fishing pier


2021 Gravity FSX 1.0 Dual Full Suspension Mountain Bike with Disc Brakes Aluminum Frame

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Boy, have I been busy lately. And, also having a lot of fun cycling to parks enjoying beautiful nature. I've been buying and changing my still practically new mountain bike parts. For some reason, I enjoy doing it myself. Kinda relaxing.

Yes, it seems easy enough. But, it's not that I do this every day. So, there'll be some mistakes that I did but somehow, I managed to fix it all. Especially, if you have the tools. The good thing is that nowadays, for the most part, all you need is the Allen keys multitools.



ROCKBROS Bike Repair Kits 16 In 1 Multi-Function Bike Tool Kits Portable Foldable Bike Multitool Cycling Tool Kit Bike Tool Allen Wrench Tire Levers

Another tool that I bought and use is the fork aka pipe cutter. It's much easier than using a hand saw. I use it to cut short my colorful handlebar. When I changed my bike pedals, I had a problem taking the original off even with an adjustable wrench.

Luckily, my bro-in-law had a bike wrench which is much better. And, also a whole lot of WD-40. A rubber mallet is also useful. It's much better to protect your bike parts. I even use it to hammer in my handlebar end bar plugs. I was lazy to file the bar ends after cutting them.



23 Piece Bike Tool Kit - Bicycle Repair Tool Box Compatible - Mountain/Road Bike Maintenance Tool Set with Storage Case

I recommend you get a cycling backpack with a water bag. It's much easier for quick sips of water while cycling or at stops. I thought I had a faulty water bag the first time I tried it. But, I didn't realize you have to push up to open and push down for closing at the tip. Silly me. 

Well, I only started cycling recently again and buying all these products to try them out. I'm starting to really enjoy cycling. Even though, I've learned cycling as a kid. There wasn't really joy in it. Even when I bought my first mountain bike, it's only for cycling to a friend's house.



Hiland Mountain Bike 27 Speeds, Lock-Out Suspension Fork, Aluminum Frame 27.5-inch Wheel, Hydraulic Disc-Brake for Men Women Men's MTB Bicycle 2 Sizes

Maybe because now, I actually have the time and want to go cycling. Especially, to visit beautiful nature parks around the country. Places, I didn't even know existed. I have to thank Google Maps for making it much easier for people to check out routes and places.

Well, last Sunday for some reason my phone couldn't get connected to the internet and I got lost. I didn't think of re-starting my phone to solve the problem until I reached home 3 hours late. I was planning to reach home from Sembawang park beach by 3pm.



Hiland Aluminum Mountain Bike, Lock-Out Suspension Fork, 21 Speeds 26/27.5 Inch with Dual Disc Brake for Woman Men Adult Mens Womens Bike MTB Bicycle

I had to use my instincts and of course, read the road signs which sometimes doesn't help. I was going round and round an unfamiliar area and actually got really exasperated. Thank goodness, I finally reached and saw a familiar park and even asked a passerby to confirm my direction.

I need to bring along my portable battery charger next time. I didn't think I would need it as I only plan to cycle for a couple of hours to planned destinations. Turn out, if I hadn't found my way out, my phone would have probably gone flat and it'll be worse if there's an emergency.

My ride. Folding, foldable mountain bike.

My friend, whose house I went to visit earlier was worried that he couldn't get me on the phone. I only managed to reply to his message once I finally reached home. It's always good to be prepared for the worse and maybe inform someone before you went out cycling on your own.

In all, it was really fun to cycle and check out Hampstead wetlands, the last fishing village, and Sembawang park fishing pier. This is where I actually first learn to ride the bike in the 80s. Later on, I lost my first bike which my father bought for me.

went cycling with my folding mountain bike MTB on 1st Jan 2022


Schwinn Bonafide Men's Mountain Bike, Front Suspension, 24-Speed, 29-Inch Wheels, 17-Inch Aluminum Frame, Matte Black/Red

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I finally did it. I planned to go cycling today on the 1st Jan 2022 to a nearby park and discovered that I can also visit other parks via a road connector that's only for cyclists/walking/running. Despite the still ongoing pandemic, there are surprisingly many other people too.

Well, kinda obvious as it's the holiday. I didn't even notice if people were wearing masks. There are parents with their kids walking or cycling in each separate lane. This connector is really useful as all you have to do is follow the cycling path to every park in the country.



Schwinn Bonafide Men's Mountain Bike, Front Suspension, 24-Speed, 29-Inch Wheels, 17-Inch Aluminum Frame, Matte Black/Red

Using an app, I managed to know how far and how fast I'm cycling. I can read the info on my losing calories etc. I believe, I cycled a total of around 24km today. I'm surprised, to be able to cycle that far without having leg cramps or giving up.

I'm thinking that because I've been cycling to and fro to work and home every day that actually helps me build my fitness. Even though, it's not that far. I've even been losing around 1kg per week. It isn't that bad considering, I haven't been exercising for a long time.



Mongoose Status 2.2 Men's and Women's Mountain Bike, 26-Inch Wheels, 21-Speed Shifters, Aluminum Frame, Front Suspension, a Black/Red

In fact, I have a slipped disc and two bad knees. Forget about running, cycling is the best low-impact exercise for me. I did feel a slight pain on both my thighs when I was returning from my sis house. It was also raining. The bicycle felt heavy but I persevered.

Right now, I don't really feel any kind of effect on my body. But, I'm pretty sure, tomorrow I'll definitely feel some sores here and there. If I don't, then I might have improved my overall fitness. It's good that I've been starting slow and don't try to overdo it.

I'm not getting any younger and the body I had when I was young and in the military is vastly different. That's why I started light and only add to my training bits by bits. I also set up my own home gym with an exercise bench and weights to improve my physique. But, most importantly get my 6-packs back.

I'm happy that in the last 3 months of last year, I managed to lose some weight even though not much. At least whatever I'm doing it's working. I'm also happy that now, I can cycle from park to park and further away without worrying about traffics.

I really had fun and enjoyed riding my folding mountain bike. In one of my youtube videos, there were some people who said that it's not a good bike. But, I'm loving it. Yes, it's cheap. That's precisely why I bought it. Of course, if I had the money or a pro, I'll definitely get a more expensive bike.

I'm also having fun changing some of my bicycle parts and adding accessories. So far, I've changed my bike pedal and seat. I've bought a new bike handlebar, grips, brake levers, and stem. Some of them have already arrived but some haven't. Can't wait to fit 'em all. Pimping my mountain bike!

my new gold color 2 finger mountain bike bicycle brake lever


Magura MT Trail Sport 2701389 Bicycle Brake 1-Finger HC Lever Left/Right Suitable Set Consisting of Two Brakes for Front Wheel 4 and Rear Wheel 2 Pistons, Black, One Size

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.
