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.

my java veloce road bike cockpit gopro hero 10 setup #shorts

Woodland Hills Camera GoPro HERO10 (Hero 10) Action (Black) with Deluxe Accessory Bundle – Includes: SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSD Memory Card, Carrying Case, Chest Mount Grip & Much More Black Kit

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to get myself the multifunction bike computer mount holder. I found out later my cheap bike computer can't be mounted on it. But, I decided instead to mount my new GoPro Hero 10 on the top side. That way, I could easily see what I'm recording.

I also bought a GoPro 360 rotational mount adapter. I'll then be able to rotate the camera any, way I want. I could turn it to face the left or right side and even backward. I've always wanted to show a beautiful view of the river on the sides while I'm cycling.

I also bought an extra GoPro holder that I can clamp anywhere on the bike frame. I'll be able to take videos from several different views. I thought of buying a selfie stick bike mount holder. So, that I can take a whole view of myself while cycling. 

You'll need something like a double clamp mount. One to clamp on your bike and the other side to clamp your selfie stick. I like the idea of the insta360 invisible selfie stick. You can record the view from behind or in front of your bike without showing the stick. Pretty cool trick.

I'm just preparing all the things I need to make my video when I go riding. Been planning for a long while. Especially, after decided to finally got myself a GoPro. I like how small and portable the GoPro is back then. Though, nowadays, you have much smaller camera.

Having a much smaller camera that takes better quality action pictures/videos that you can then transfer and share on social media. The other day, I bought the SJCAM C100+ but didn't realize how important stabilization is. Especially, if you wanna take action videos.

The good thing about the multifunction computer mount is that I can put my GoPro either at the top or under it. Of course, I can also put my speedometer on it too. If I want to, I can also put my torchlight. Though, I don't think I will. 

I'm still thinking if I want to buy another new bike computer. The one I had is a rather small cheap version that I only wanted to see the speed while riding. Now, that I have it, I realized, I can use it to see the time, distance, average speed etc. Pretty useful info.

Anyway, what you guys think of my Java Veloce road bike cockpit setup? I might change it up later on as I test which is the best way to mount my GoPro and other accessories. Now, if only we have long weekend holidays for me to try out my ride and setup.

What do you guys think?

sjcam c100+ video test riding my Java Veloce road bike

SJCAM C100+ Action Camera Sports 4k 30FPS Video WiFi 15MP Cameras EIS Stabilization Small Underwater Waterproof Cam with Wearable and Mounting Camera Accessories for Sports, Travel, Vlog

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I finally got myself a cheap SJCAM C100+ action video cam to record while I'm riding my mountain or road bike. But, I'm kind of disappointed because it's too shaky. Well, I can't expect much from the stabilization department since it did say on the box suitable for making tik tok or Instagram videos.

I did look at other product offers but decided to try the C100+. The video quality in 2K is actually not bad. I didn't try the 4K as I wanted to save space and quick download. As I learned that for youtube, it's better to record in 4K than downgraded and upload in 1080p instead of the other way round.



SJCAM C100+ Action Camera Sports 4k 30FPS Video WiFi 15MP Cameras EIS Stabilization Small Underwater Waterproof Cam with Wearable and Mounting Camera Accessories for Sports, Travel, Vlog

I had some problem connecting the cam to my phone as I didn't know how to activate the wifi. Only after watching their youtube video instruction that I learned you just need to press the power button longer to start and double press to connect via wifi.

The procedure is actually the same for my Nikon P950 camera. When you want to start recording, just press the power button once and press it again to stop. Of course, you can't watch what you're taking as it doesn't have any LCD screen in front or at the back.



Nikon COOLPIX P950

You can watch what you're recording once you download and start the SJCAM app on the google play store. Just click the button to connect via wifi and click the special sjcam wifi. You can then use the app to record, take pictures and replay them back from the album section.

You need to remember that once you connect to the cam via wifi, you won't be able to connect to other wifi and go to the internet. You need to disconnect or use mobile data. You can download the pictures and videos to your phone. Once downloaded you can do whatever you want with them.



SJCAM C200 4K24FPS Action Camera Ultra HD Underwater Camera 154 Degree Wide Angle 131FT Waterproof Camera White

I tried to download the files to my computer but it seems you can't. My computer didn't recognize the cam or the MicroSD card inside it. I thought I'm supposed to be able to use it as a webcam. Apparently, not. Of course, I can just take out the card and use an adapter. Kind of a hassle.

I haven't looked up if I need to download any kind of software for my computer. As I've said, the quality of the pictures and videos are pretty good. It's only you can't record while moving or it'll be all shaky. You can definitely use it as a Vlog or take holiday videos. As long as you're the one moving.



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

What I like about the C100+ is how small and portable it is. Definitely a good size for clipping on your backpack or shirt. Which I did when recording my ride on my JAVA Veloce road bike. Again, the stabilization isn't good enough. It even shakes when I'm wearing it and walking around my house.

I need a really good action camera with good stabilization for taking videos while I'm cycling and decided to look around again. I was divided in choosing the GoPro, Insta360, and DJI Action 2. Everyone has their beef about them so I end up making a 'safe' decision by buying the GoPro Hero 10.

Buying a GoPro is a safe choice for me because I've been wanting to get one since the first iteration of the product. Decades later, I'm finally owning one although it's freaking expensive. Well, to me getting one is a good investment for my youtube channel. Especially now I started cycling.

stickers bomb my new java veloce road bike 😂

Java Fuoco 22 Speed Carbon Fiber Shimano R7000 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I've only got my JAVA Veloce road bike for almost two weeks and already I've stickers bomb it. Can't help myself. I actually bought the stickers for my folding bike. Which I've owned since last year. Yes, it's kinda new too.

I recently got into cycling again after getting a folding bike for commuting to work. My new workplace is pretty near my home. It's a no-brainer to cycle to work instead of wasting my time waiting for the bus. I also saved some travel fares and get to exercise.

Well, one big reason is that I wanted to get rid of my big tummy and get back my six-packs. Got tired of everyone telling me I'm fat. I'm not fat, just my err..tummy is big. The problem is, my workplace is too near my house and it's not enough to get slim just by cycling.

I needed to control and watch what I eat. The good news is I've actually lost some weight. From 76kg to now 68kg. I'm having a problem going down to 67kg. If I can break that barrier, I might be able to get back to my 63-65kg old self.

It is kinda funny because I'm not young and reaching the big 50 soon. Even everyone is surprised and asks why only now that I become interested in cycling. Well, you're never too old to go cycling. In fact, I feel kinda happy whenever I ride my bike.

I love my mountain bike and love more my new Java Veloce road bike. Every time, I ride it, I wanna go as fast as I can. But, I take my time when I rode my mountain bike and become more adventurous. Like cycling on the grass or on dirt paths.

My colleague told me to get an e-bike. They're interesting but as I've said earlier, I wanted to exercise, and getting an e-bike will only make me lazier. One of my colleagues has one and he used it to work part-time as a Grab food delivery.

I won't mind getting an e-bike if I'm like him doing part-time. You get to places faster and with less energy. Of course, I can do it with my road bike too but I'm more into leisure than work. I love going on long rides to national parks enjoying nature and taking pictures with my Nikon P950.

I'm basically in half retirement mode. I cycle for fun and only work just to pay the basic utility bills. With my bikes, I can get some exercise and visit places that I've never been to. I didn't even know there were rivers I can cycle along and windy beaches where I can relax just by cycling.

Check out some of the stickers bombs on my Java Veloce road bike below:

Red Bull is one of my favorite energy drinks. Though, I try not to drink too much of them. One of the reasons I have their decal stickers. I also love Gatorade where they seem to make my nightly cramps disappear. By the way, I also put decal stickers on my thermal flask water bottle. 

I prefer a thermal flask water bottle because I want to keep my drinks cold or hot much longer. On longer rides, I'll also bring my cycling 2L water bladder bag as my main drink. If you like bike packing that bladder bag will be useful to carry more water.

Anyway, get your decal stickers here if you're interested to put them on your bike.

my new cheap bike drop bar and accessories #shorts

RXL SL [US Stock] Carbon Handlebar Road Bike 31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 400/420/440mm Cycling Bent Bar Drop Bars

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I think it was last month that I bought a drop bar to try on my mountain bike. I wanted to see and feel the difference between using a handlebar and a drop bar. Although, I felt that I needed to adjust the stem length as I was leaning too far forward. I can already feel a little strain in my back.

It does feel good when using the drop bar. I like gripping the drop and going faster on a straight road or rather pathway. Even though it's a mountain bike. The con is, that I don't feel as confident when going off-road or downhill. A handlebar offers better control.

If you have read my last post, I have finally decided to get myself a road bike. This is the first time that I actually own and ride one. And, it's all after I've tried using the drop bar on my mountain bike. I'm really getting into riding the road bike.

My road bike is the budget JAVA Veloce the first version. Which I think came out in 2021. There's a new version, Veloce 2. But, it's kinda over my budget. I'm a newbie when comes to a road bike that's why I didn't want to buy anything expensive.



Java Suprema Carbon Fiber Shimano 105 Speed Road Racing Bike Bicycle Worldwide Shipping

I'm afraid of hurting my back. The way you ride a road bike is definitely different than riding a mountain bike. Especially, in the posture. You'll want to be in an aero posture when riding a road bike but in a more upright position on a mountain bike. 

A road bike is for the speed while a mountain bike is more for the off-road adventure. I like going off-road but something about wanting to go faster on a road bike is kinda a little addicting. You also don't really care about the handling when on a smooth tarmac road.

As much as I prefer using a handlebar, I actually love using the drop bar too. I'm really glad that my bike drop bar has a flat surface portion that I can rest my hands on while riding. An 'expert' I watched on a video says that he likes it too as it feels like a tabletop.

The drop-bar that I bought to fit on my mountain bike is the cheap version but it's still comfortable. But, if I was looking to buy a new drop bar, I'll buy the type that's on my road bike. You can feel better in quality and comfort. Another good thing about using a drop bar is that I stop having numb hands.



Newmind Integrated Handlebar, Carbon Handlebar Road Bike Bicycle Handlebar 28.6 UD Integrated Handlebars 400/420/440mm Road Bike Bent Bar

I like the integrated drop bar design. Looks cool. But, one of the experts on the drop bar said he hate it. You can't adjust the stem length and rotation to fit your own body posture. Unless you found or have a company that specifically builds one for you. Lol.

As I've said, I'm a road bike newbie and I watch a lot of video tips on-road bikes. I've learned a lot and actually make riding a road bike more comfortable and safe. Currently, my road bike is my main for commuting to work. I want to get used to my new JAVA road bike before going on longer rides.

Trying out a drop bar on my mountain bike.

Investing in a budget road bike for commuting to work and also going on longer rides around the country. My aluminum frame road bike is definitely lighter than my mountain bike. I'm still waiting for my speedometer to arrive so that I see how fast I can go on a road bike.

The worry that I might have a problem using the road bike because of my slipped disc and used to riding a mountain bike with a handlebar is all gone now. I'm happy that I bought the bike and have fun riding it. Of course, I needed to tweak it a little to fit my own body size and riding style.

The JAVA Veloce is definitely worth the money for a budget road bike hunter!
