Hey guys,

Check it out!

I love working on my mountain bike parts. Although my current Raleigh mountain bike is still kinda new, I decided to change the handlebar handgrips to a different design and color. This time, I chose light green. I think it mixes well with my red handlebar and bike stems.

I'm actually waiting for some new parts for my foldable mountain bike. I'm having a problem with the bike cassette and thought, might as well upgrade everything all at once. A guy I met at a traffic light advised me to change the bike chain. He thinks it is the one that's causing the problem.

Yup! I have people compliment my bike while riding it to work. They like what they see and one guy even exclaims how beautiful my cheap foldable bike is. I've changed the handlebar to a colorful type. Changed to different colors and design handgrips.

My bike pedals are also colorful type too. I put bike frame stickers on it that also act as protection. There are many mud guard designs too. I love the colorful type. I only recently decided to put on a frame chain guard when I saw how dirty it always gets. I didn't really care at first though. lol.

My foldable mountain bike is over a year plus old now and I still remember someone commenting on my youtube video that it's a cheap useless bike. You can see the #shorts video here on my Youtube channel. I've learned that it's built like a tank and I've traveled far and wide with it.

I use my folding mountain bike mainly for commuting to work. I also use it as my test bike. I pretty much learned how to change or repair parts with it. I also bought the necessary tools so that I can work on them quickly. I basically learn through trial and error.

The weird thing is, I studied automotive engineering for 2 years. Got my certs and all but I already got bored by the first year. My schoolmate was the one that urged me to join him but then he went AWOL on me. Years later, I discovered that he took a different class and now working in the oil industry.

I didn't join the automotive workforce but working on my bikes makes me feel like I'm coming back to my technical roots. Anyway, as I've said, I'm waiting for my bike cassette, shifters, and chain to arrive. I've never changed a bike cassette before. I'm upgrading from the original 7 to 9-speed type.

In the future, I might want to change my bike fork and crankset. I've already done some surveys of the parts that I like. Again, I've never changed them before. So, it'll be a challenge for me to do them. It ain't gonna be pretty but I'll learn from the mistakes.

Hopefully, not too big a mistake but the experience would be good. I've even thought about buying parts and fixing them myself and then selling them off the bike to anyone interested. Most of the bikes on sale have generic designs and colors. Some might like my work.

I actually put out my folding mountain bike for sale and got some interest in it. I should have sold it before I had a problem with the bike. lol. Now, I have to spend money and repair them before being able to sell. But, having worked on it, makes me a little reluctant to sell.

What do you guys think?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Aluminum Mountain Bike Handlebar Grips Handle Bar Cap End Plugs Stoppers

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Well, I think, I'm done pimping my folding mountain bike for the year 2021. The handlebar grips cap end basically caps it for me. Pun intended. Since I bought my bike, I've been checking out accessories and changed it myself. It's kinda fun.

The first thing I changed was the bike pedal. I bought the aluminum alloy colorful design and it looks really nice. The size is a bit smaller than my original but, I got used to it. I still keep my original just in case as it's still a couple of weeks old.

Next, I got myself bicycle handlebar grips with ends. I found out later that it's kinda hard to take off the original grip and anyway, I like it better than the one I bought. But, I like the ends, so I just changed it to a red color. It fits nicely with my Aero design Redbull theme bike helmet. 

I really like my bike helmet that also comes with a visor. It helps block the sun's rays. Especially in the evening when I ride home from work. I decided to get the mudguard for my front and rear tire and found one with an interesting art design.

I also bought a fork guard for my mountain bike. There are a few comments on my youtube video about it that I find interesting. Some say it's nice, there are ones that said I'm doing it wrong or even unnecessary. Frankly, I do it just for fun. 

In fact, someone even suggested that I'm better off walking than buying my 'cheap' mountain bike. I mean, really. I love my bike and to me, it's not actually that cheap. I paid almost $200 bucks for it. Yes, it's not like other expensive bikes but I'm not a professional so why should I buy them?

Getting this bike actually makes me love cycling, again. It's not like it's my first bike. I've owned a mountain bike before when I was younger but I gave it away after I stop using it. I used to cycle to my school mates area to train TKD aka Tae Kwon Do with him.

I'm also into cycling now because it can help me lose weight. That's one of the reasons I wanted to start cycling again. Since I have bad knees and slipped discs, low-impact cycling won't be too hard on them. I don't want to make it worse for myself.

I'm still thinking of getting some parts of my bicycle changed. But, for now, it'll do. Like I've said, I'm really having fun cycling again like never before. I'm already thinking of not just cycling to and fro to work and home but going to interesting places.

I'm also into photography recently after I bought my first digital camera the Nikon P950. The 83x optical zoom is super cool and you can watch some of my videos on my channel. Don't forget to like, share and subscribe!

I would also like to take the opportunity to wish all a very early happy X'mas and New Year 2022!

my new Dumbbell Barbell Adjustable Convertible Dumbbell Set

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Finally! Got a new dumbbell with an adjustable barbell set. I've been wanting to get them for a long time. It's only recently that I started to exercise again. Mainly, because I wanted to get rid of my big tummy. I yearn for the days when I had a six-pack. Lol!

After finishing my national duty in the military and being a civilian, I didn't really do much training anymore. I also had a slipped disc and was advised not to do any standard sit-ups. That's probably when my stomach started to get bigger and bigger.

Isn't it kinda weird that you don't notice how your tummy slowly gets all bloated throughout the years? Everyone, been talking about how big my stomach is and so, after my recent birthday, I decided to start exercising again. But, I still had to be careful.

I had to start slow because of my back and knees problem. I'm also getting older and sometimes you forget you're not 20 something in the military doing all that running and jumping. I also used to train in the gym but I find that mental toughness missing.

I also got myself a new job and what's great is that it's near my house. I've always wanted to get a job near my area so that I can cycle to work. Cycling is also a great way to train your fitness and even lose weight. I actually already lost some weight and I felt so excited.

Now, I'm using my new folding mountain bike that's more powerful and faster than my other first foldable bike. Okay, that's my personal opinion after using both of them to and fro to work. Even my colleague said that the mountain bike is much more suitable for me.

Cycling is a low-impact exercise and is great for my bad knees. Although, I can still feel pain in my left knee when cycling. I'm starting to love cycling and when I reach home, now I can train with my new dumbbell set too. Yesterday, I tried them out and it sure feels great to do weights again.

I like the kettle design and I've never used it before until yesterday. Great for my front shoulders. You can also use it for your stomachs. One thing though is that, I think, I need to buy another set so that I can use the dumbbells as I'm already setting it like a barbell.

I'm actually waiting for the exercise bench that I ordered but it hasn't arrived yet. I can do a lot of the standard dumbbell and barbell exercises with the bench. I bought one that you can do leg exercises and also support for the biceps.

I'm not really aiming to get big muscles. Just an athletic fitness body with a nice 6 packs. I'll have to be careful when doing all these exercises as like I've said, I have a slipped disc and bad knees. I don't want to end up in pain in the hospital again.

my new shimano gear folding mountain bike! #shorts

Eurobike G4 Mountain Bike 26 Inches 3 Spoke Wheels Dual Suspension Folding Bike 21 Speed MTB

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself a folding mountain bike because my current folding bike, for some reason isn't suitable for me. From the start, I had a problem with it. Granted, I haven't ridden a bike for decades. But, I slowly got my own rhythm.

I had a problem with the gears while riding and keep changing until even the chain came off. Thank goodness, it's pretty easy to put it back and I still arrived to work in time. I also had a problem with the tires. But, once, I bought a tire pump, from then on, the ride gets easier and faster.



Eurobike G4 Mountain Bike 26 Inches 3 Spoke Wheels Dual Suspension Folding Bike 21 Speed MTB

Frankly, I always thought that a mountain bike is much better for me. I used to have one but I gave it away to my cousin's husband a long time ago. I wanted a bike because recently, I got a job near my house. I wanted to save traveling costs and also try to get my fitness again. 

If you have been reading a few of my earlier posts, I've been wanting to get my six-packs back. I'm tired of everyone joking about my big tummy. I also thought it's time to get back some kind of fitness for myself. I don't want to be old and fat.

Finally, I got my Shimano bike gear folding mountain bike and I'm really loving it. From the first test ride to using it to and fro to work, it really felt like home. The gear shift works pretty well and I actually arrive at work much faster with less energy or rather sweats.

The thing is, the folding bike that I've been using has actually helped me lose around 1kg. I used to weigh around 74.7 kg. Yesterday, it was 73.4kg. Not much, but it shows that cycling to work, it does help me lose weight. Albeit, slowly.



Dynacraft 26" Slick Rock Trails Bike

I'm pretty happy when I see that I'd lose a bit of weight. That means, my bike investment has paid off. My target is to get my weight down below 70kg. I used to weigh around 63-65kg before I stop doing any kind of exercise because of my back slip disc.

The most important thing for me is to get the old six-packs that I worked so hard for in my school gym almost 29 years ago. Yup, a pretty long time ago. I was also preparing physically before joining the military. That's why even though at my age now, I wish to at least stay lean and fit again.

Another thing about cycling is the low impact on the knees. I have both bad knees. My right knee is starting to act up. Although, my left is much worse. I bought a knee brace the other day and tried it today to work. It actually helps support my knees when cycling and working.

I thought it'll be too tight and uncomfortable. But, I actually forget that I was wearing it. I only bought the knee brace for my left knee. Since it helps, I plan to get for my right. I've already started recommending to my friend and sis if they'll be interested.

Well, I'm really glad that I bought the folding mountain bike. Although, I have bad comments about it on my youtube video. Who cares bout the haters. The most important thing is that I'm benefitting from the bike and I'm really enjoying my ride. Loving it!
