done! my new Raleigh mountain bike mtb red color handlebar and stem

UPANBIKE MTB Mountain Bike Handlebar φ31.8mm Bicycle Handlebar 720mm/780mm Riser Bar for MTB, BMX, Road Bike, Mountain Bike

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My red color handlebar and stem finally arrived on Friday and although at first, I thought of fitting it on Saturday evening after work, I decided to straight away do it. The good thing is that I managed to do it a little quicker with less problem than when I do it the first time around.

I guess experience does matter. When I did replacement parts on my foldable mountain bike, I had many problems as it was my first time and most of it is guesswork. But, I managed to settle it in the end. I don't really mind as it was a cheap bike. I'm now thinking of selling it off.

I love my new Raleigh mountain bike. It's a budget bike but I love the design and it's definitely much lighter than my other mtb. I'm also not going crazy about replacing some of the parts as it's very much different or better. That's why at the moment, I just changed the handlebar and bike stem.

I chose red because I didn't want another colorful setup. Also, there's a little nice red art on the bike frame. I love the pro-Honsun design, and already know the quality of their product. Like the little dragon design on it. They're also pretty light.

Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You might like a different color or design. There are plenty of them. In any case, I'm still thinking if I want to change the bike pedal. I think the one on my Raleigh mountain bike is the cheap type.

Okay, just another excuse for me to change it. I'm also going for red. I'm still looking around as I like the one with a little different and cool design. There's no point for me to change anything if there's nothing cool about the new parts.

I like going for long distance right either with my mountain bike or road bike. I think now, I'll prefer my road bike as it seems I can ride faster and further with it. Though, I also like riding long distance on my mountain bike too. Simply because a mtb is more flexible.

When I was a kid, I didn't really enjoy cycling. I didn't really use it. My dad bought me a 2nd hand bike that was to me really ugly. I think it was made up of parts that someone just scrap from other old bikes. I hate the handlebar and it has two different size tires.

I end up leaving the ugly bike lock-up in a rental public housing building. I came back after a while wondering if it's still there but it was gone. My 2nd bike was a mountain bike and it was much prettier in pink. It was so pretty a girl asked me if she could test ride it.

I only needed it to and fro to a friend house for our TKD aka tae kwon do training. I think it was in the early 90s and like how I can easily climb grass slope with it. After I finished school, and stop visiting my friend that I stop cycling and end up just giving the bike away. 

Now, several decades later, I'm back to cycling and loving it!

my new mountain bike MTB bike pedal extender #shorts

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

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.
