Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I've been using and testing how it feels like using a drop bar on my mountain bike and there's definitely a different feel mentally and physically. It was also kinda easy to change between them. Especially, if you have a separate brake lever and shifter for each handlebar. 

I've never owned or ridden a road bike. That's why I was curious and wanted to try it out. Luckily, I found a cheap drop bar and other accessories that I bought to set it up. I definitely learned a lot and there are many good videos on youtube that you can learn from.

Since I've never used a drop bar, at first it does feel weird. I even thought that I set it up all wrong. One thing to note is that I'm not a tall fellow. In fact, when I check out the road bike (thinking of buying one) there never seems to sell a 24inch tire size.

Although, I notice a road bike seat is supposedly much higher set up. A guy on one video said that the seat and the drop bar are much better at the same level. To avoid back and neck pain. That's one thing I'm afraid of. And, I actually did have slight back and neck pain when using the drop bar.

I decided to buy a new and much shorter bike stem because it seems the back and neck pain is caused by the drop bar being too far in front. And, my err..rather short hands have to stretch out to hold them. There's actually a debate on which is better. A longer or shorter bike stem.

I would say, it depends on you. If it feels good using a shorter bike stem then use it. If not, get a longer one. In spite of the drop bar setup problem, it actually feels nice using them. I always feel like I need and want to go faster. I don't have that kind of feeling when using the normal handlebar.

I do feel having better control of the bike when using a handlebar. I always use the footpath when riding and there are a lot of stops and weaving through people. Maybe, I'm too used to using a handlebar but if I see a clear path I'll go down on the drop bar and just shoot for speed.

The need for speed is really exhilarating. The other day, I used a different route going home from my sis house and it really felt great. I think I reach my house a little faster when using a drop bar than a straight bar. But, I didn't time myself, didn't bring my speedometer.

One thing I notice and it seems true is that my hands get numbs when using the handlebar. But, I didn't have that problem when using a drop bar. It's because I keep changing my grips. You can use different parts of the drop bar to hold.

Now, I've changed back to my normal handlebar but part of me misses the drop bar and the need for speed. The feeling is not the same and even before I tried using the drop bar when on a straight clear path I always feel like going down and forward to speed.

I might one day get a road bike if I found one that suits my height. Though, I've heard of smaller pro cyclists. Like I've said, I ride mostly on the pathway and it's kinda a hassle having to stand at the traffic light. That's why I tried the drop bar on my 24inch tire mountain bike. Which is best for me.

my new mountain bike MTB bike pedal extender #shorts

BESPORTBLE 4pcs Bike Pedal Extenders with Washers Titanium Alloy Bike Foot Pedal Extenders Bicycle Pedal Spacers (20mm)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Bought a colorful bike pedal extender and fit it yesterday. Test it for a bit and actually feel really comfortable. I actually bought it because I bought a new red color kickstand and it'll hit the back of my crocs while pedaling.

Now, I don't have to worry about hitting the kickstand again. Also, sometimes I had problems finding the pedal when starting off. It's because the new pedal that I've changed is kinda a bit small from the original. It feels weird at first but I got used to it really quickly.

Whenever I post new bicycle parts that I've bought and fit on my bike, there'll always be some smart ass disliking it. They'll comment it's a waste or say shit that to me isn't true. Heck, some even say, my bike is cheap and not worth buying.

First of all, yes, my foldable mountain bike is cheap. That's why I bought it. It's affordable to me and I like buying parts and changing them. It's only recently that I found a workplace that is close to my home and riding also helps my fitness and health as a whole.

I also like DIY-ing and learning the process of bike maintenance at the same time. I'm thinking of changing my fork and crankset. Although I haven't done it before, it'll be good to learn from the experience, even if it's a bad one.

That's why I don't really care about the bad comments on my youtube channel video. I do what I like and just because I did something wrong, I can't learn from it. It's called the school of hard knocks. You learn better from the real-world experience than just reading or commenting about it.

I've never owned a road bike. Been thinking if I should get one. But, I have slipped disc so, I worry that I'll have a problem riding it. I bought a stem extender for my mountain bike because it actually hurts my back when riding. Making it a little higher feels better too.

Being me, I'm too curious and if I don't try it, I'll never know. I'll be thinking about it day and night. Hence, I bought a drop bar and going to change it on my mountain bike when it finally arrives. I've already bought the brake lever, wrappers, etc.

I think it'll be an interesting bike with a drop bar and mountain bike design. I don't know anything about the shifters so, I'll just be using the normal standard one available. I'll make it work somehow. I'm doing this because sometimes when I ride, I feel like bunking down using a drop bar.

When I'm on a rough road or pathway, a handlebar is much more comfortable and better controlled. Like I've said, I've never ridden a road bike or used a drop bar, so I'm not sure if I'll be comfortable using them. The good thing is that it's easy to switch.

Anyway, tomorrow I'll be riding my bike to work with the new pedal extender and I can test how good it is. I did a quick test after fitting it and it does feel good. I'll know more when cycling to and fro from home to work. I always feel excited when I've changed new bike parts. Lol!

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

Ergon - GE1 Evo Ergonomic Lock-on Bicycle Handlebar Grips | for Mountain, Trail, and Enduro Bikes | Regular Fit | Midsummer Blue

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

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.
