my new X-TIGER Cycling Glasses 5 lenses Bicycle polarized glasses myopia frame

X-TIGER Polarized Cycling Glasses with 5 Interchangeable Lenses, MTB Biking Baseball Running Sports Sunglasses for Men Women

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I don't buy cycling sunglasses because I'm myopia (Wikipedia). I've asked the eyeglasses shop if they have sunglasses with degrees. Of course, they don't have them. Hoping one day, somebody out there will make 'em. That's why I prefer buying a cycling helmet with visors.

The other day, I bought a cycling helmet without a visor because it looks cool and I also got cycling sunglasses that include a myopia frame. Once it arrived, I immediately went to my local eyeglasses shop to make the glass. Since they already have my record, it was pretty fast. Voila!

I'm familiar with the X-Tiger brand as I've bought several of their products before. Once, you know and trust a company, you tend to stick with them. When I like a product design I might want to try them out. If they're good, I'll check out their other offers.

When I'm searching for a certain product, usually I look for the 'x' or cool factor. Design is really important to me and if it doesn't stand out, I don't really care if they're better or lasts longer. It doesn't mean, I don't care about the quality though.

I also like that it's not damn expensive. In fact, for the price, I'm surprised with all the extra items that came with the product. Of course, it has the myopia frame but it comes with several different color lenses, an ear-hook, a hard case, a wiping cloth, and a pouch.

Nowadays, companies don't go all the way to make their customer happy. Seldom, do you get a complete set of free gifts or items with your purchase? For example, back in the days when you buy a physical game disc, you'll get a free poster, stickers, or whatever extras.

I haven't yet gone cycling with my new sunglasses so I don't know if it's gonna be comfortable. Especially, with the myopia frame. When I test wearing it around the house seems ok. Though, I'm not used to the colorful lens. For now, I'm not going to change it to the usual black.

The colorful lens version is really nice so I'm sticking to it for now. I haven't yet tried changing the lens and the frame is supposed to be flexible but strong. I saw one of the comments from a customer who actually broke the frame while trying to change it.

The myopia frame's little hooks seem fragile to me. That's why once I've attached it to my sunglasses I ain't gonna take it out. In the future, when I want to change the lens, I'm wondering if I could change it without the need to take the myopia frame out.

I worry about that as they don't seem to sell just the myopia frame. It'll be good to buy some spare ones and keep them just in case. If need be, I can just change my glass to the same frame type. The only solution, for now, is to buy the whole package. Anyway, I'll figure it out when the time comes. 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.

What do you guys think?

Nikon P950 CNY 2022 Cycling Bikepacking with Mountain Bike MTB Pasir Ris Changi Beach


Nikon COOLPIX P950 Digital Camera || 24-2000mmLens || 16 MP || Built-in Wi-Fi || Vibration Reduction + Camera Kit Special Including 64GB Memory, Spider Tripod, Photo/Video Editing Package & More

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Yesterday, Tuesday 1st Feb 2022 was the first day of CNY aka Chinese New Year. I believe it's the year of the tiger. I've been planning to go out cycling either last Sunday or on Tues. It's a public holiday, so, I can rest on Wednesday before having to go back to work on Thursday.

I've also been planning to bring along my Nikon P950 camera. That's why I bought the bike handlebar front bag. I can quickly attach and dis-attached the bag to the holder and bring it along when I need to. Pretty nifty. This way, I don't have to bring along another backpack.

I actually smashed my mountain bike into a metal railing while trying to do a jump at the side of the road and I've forgotten about my camera. I only saw that my new handgrips were ripped and the ring missing. It was only later that I remembered and check it.

Luckily, my camera didn't even have a single bend or scratch. Meanwhile, I hurt my right thumb and scratched my helmet visor. I've decided to order a new one. That visor might actually have saved me from having a broken nose, again.

I also scratched my face and tummy. Only realized it when I look in the mirror after returning home. I don't know what the heck happened. I was confident of clearing the little bump. Might have hit the root of the tree and that askew the wheels to the right towards the railing.

If the railing weren't there, I would have fallen into the big drain. Damn, I was kind of lucky. I checked my nose if there was blood and there was none. Didn't feel any pain and didn't break anything. At my age, it'll be a little difficult to be injured. Yet, I do stupid stuff. Lol!

Well, in spite of that little incident, I had a really good cycling, bikepacking day. I went from one beach to another beach, got a little lost but got back to the track following my Google map. Of course, I took a lot of videos and photos both with my trusty old Samsung Note 10+ and P950.

I should have charged my phone when I'm not using it as it died when I was almost home. I brought two extra batteries for my camera and only use two of them. I'm still a newbie photographer and there are some things I still don't understand how it works.



Insta360 ONE R 1-Inch Edition Co-Engineered with Leica – 5.3K 30fps Action Camera with 1-Inch Sensor, 4K 60fps, Stabilization, IPX8 Waterproof, 19MP

I'm thinking of getting the latest Insta360 camera with a 1-inch sensor. I like the idea of being able to get great pictures at night or when the weather or places are a little darker. If I had the camera, I would have actually captured my attempt at the jump and crashing stupidly into the railing.

One of the reasons, you don't see any video of me riding the bike is because I can't hold the big P950 at the same time. I even tried using my mobile phone but it shakes terribly when it's on the handlebar. I don't have any good holder for it.






The pictures above are some of the places I cycle to and took with my Nikon P950. You can see more pics and vids on my youtube video. If you like it, give a comment on my video and check out my other videos on my main youtube channel here.

Well, what do you guys think?
