done! change new road bike R87 Titanium promend pedals #shorts

ROCKBROS Advanced 4 Bearings Mountain Bike Pedals Platform Bicycle Flat Alloy Pedals 9/16"

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My new PROMEND R87 titanium road bike pedals arrived and I immediately go to work fitting them to my Java Veloce road bike. Yes, I know, it's not the road bike pedal with cleats. As I've explained in my last blog post, I don't have road bike shoes and I mostly cycle to nature parks and beaches.

I like visiting those places and taking pictures. Walking around in a road bike shoe with cleats won't be practical. I don't even like wearing those road cycling shirts and shorts. Though, I'm thinking of trying it out maybe in the future. Check out some of the places I've been to in this video.

Well, I tested my new pedal on my Java Veloce road bike and it actually feels good. It's a little smaller than a mountain bike version. On my commute to work, there is a lot of stops so, wearing shoes with cleats would be troublesome.

I also don't ride on the roadside but on the pathway. So, it's a slow ride having to navigate through people hogging the path. Traffic in the morning is heavy and the road isn't smooth on the side. There are cracks everywhere. I'm afraid of slipping and falling where cars might run you over.

Once in a while, usually in the evening, the road and pathway are clear and I'm able to go fast. In fact, yesterday I was able to go a little bit faster. But, I was afraid of making a mistake as it's not a smooth pathway with many metal grating and little holes.

I have fallen from my road bike before that's why I'm careful when riding on bad or slippery surfaces. Unless it's an empty road or cycling lane that's clear of other cyclists or people. Then, it's a joy to ride and go for speed. So far, I'm happy with my new road bike pedals.

I'm also starting to learn and enjoy using the magene c406 bike computer. I didn't understand how to use it at first. On my last cycling trip I was fed up not being able to link it that I decided to use the Strava app on my iPhone 13 instead. 

It's only now I realized that I've made a mistake and using the wrong app. I thought, I already bound it to the magene app at first but because I haven't been using it, I forgot. I know now how to start recording, save it and upload it to the magene and Strava app.

I'm not a professional or even an amateur cyclist. More of a hobbyist. I don't do any kind of training except cycling to work and home. But, using a bike computer and using the Strava app to check my daily stats is actually kinda nifty and fun.

I didn't think I want to at first but now I want to know my heart rate data. That's why I decided to get the magene H64 heart rate monitors. It'll be interesting to know my heart rate reading, especially when going up the "little slope of hell". Cycling is way fun!

done! change new rockbros mountain bike mtb pedal bottle holder x-tiger pump

ROCKBROS Mountain Bike Pedals MTB Pedals Bicycle Pedals Lightweight Aluminum Alloy Platform Pedal with Removable Anti-Skid Nails for BMX/MTB Mountain Bike 9/16

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a new bike pedal, and bottle holder with a cool design and colors by the brand ROCKBROS. Also got an X-TIGER portable pump with a holder which is not that big and is light. It could be helpful when you're on the road in the middle of nowhere.

I also got some pedal bolts which doesn't fit my new bike pedal. Damn it. I thought they were all the same size. Okay, I was hoping they're the same size. Well, I might be able to use it on my road bike's new bike pedal. Yes, I also decided to get one for my road bike.

I don't have a road bike shoe. So, I didn't buy a road bike pedal with cleats. I got myself a normal kind of bike pedal. When I cycle, I mostly use it to go to work and visit nature parks. Wearing road bike shoes with cleats won't be suitable for me.

I might get one in the future though, just to feel what it's like. My bike is more for my transport rather than for sports. I do use it for maintaining a certain level kind of fitness. I have bad knees and a slipped disc. Cycling is a low-impact exercise for me.

Yesterday, I used my Java Veloce road bike to work and I think, every time I ride it really feels good. Especially, when I hold the drop. Also, I always feel the need for speed and to go faster when I'm on it. Doesn't feel the same when I'm riding my mountain bike.

The way I ride though is more of the reckless mountain biker. That's why a mountain bike is more suitable for me. Especially, when sometimes, I need to cut into grass and dirt road. Yeah, I've thought of the hybrid gravel bike. But, I feel more secure going off-road with a handlebar instead of the drop bar.

Again, who knows I might decide to get one in the future. I like cycling around the country to beautiful quiet beaches and cooling green nature. Listening to birds and bugs singing from everywhere around you. I used to be lazy and just hang around my house when not working. Not anymore.

Feel free to visit my youtube channel and check out some of the videos I took of places I've cycled to. I plan to go to more places in the near future. There are parks and places that are closer to my workplace that I can go to after work. Like the Japanese Cemetery park.

Cycling is really fun and changing some of the bike parts yourself is fun too. I'm always on the lookout for cool design bike parts. It makes my bike feel a little special. Of course, getting the look from strangers is fun too. I like when I stop at traffic lights and people eye my bike.

They'll be wondering where I get it. Most of them, I got online and from China. The bikes I bought are made in China but the Java brand road bike is a collaboration with an Italian design company. I like the design and the quality of the bikes. My RALEIGH brand is from England but made in China version.
