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?

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

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 Raleigh x philip rl900 Mountain bike mtb #shorts

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I was randomly checking out mountain bikes on an online store when I saw an offer for a new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike. After I asked a few questions about its gear speed upgrade from 27 to 30-speed, I decided to grab it as it's one of the last two available.

I've seen the Raleigh brand bikes before but not really into it. There aren't many designs that I like. Not particularly a fan of their logo on the bike fork. But, sometimes, the pictures don't really show off their beauty until you see them for yourself.

When I went to look at its online store again, it was sold out. I was already been thinking of getting a polygon brand bike that is selling at $600. It was on show at a bike shop where I had to send my foldable mountain bike for a new tire replacement.

Yes, my bike tire literally went out with a loud bang. It sounded like a freaking gunshot. Though, when I heard it, I wasn't really surprised. I think I had over-pumped it the day before. I'm not really sure what caused it though. It happens right after I went over a road bump.

I thought I might have cut the tire side but, there wasn't any sharp end. The side of the tire was ripped and I didn't really see the inner tube. I was lucky it happens near my workplace and there was a bike shop nearby. A colleague showed me the exact place.

I send over my bike during lunchtime and told the bike shop owner to change both the tires. He said mine was a cheap made-in-china type. I replied that I had cycled faraway distances for almost a year without any problem. Anyway, he showed me my new tires and I've been using them since.

The thing is, I felt more comfortable with my original tires and it seems wider than the one I have now. In fact, I'm still getting used to it and my confidence seems to have disappeared. I'm afraid to go down a small hill with it. But, I might one day. It doesn't seem too steep looking from below. Lol.

Anyway, they're building a new track slope near my workplace so I don't have to cut through grass anymore. If I chose to go to work on my road bike I don't have to make a big round too. I love riding to work on my mountain bike or my road bike. It's a good quick workout or rather a warmup.

I find that getting a mid-budget bike is pretty much good enough for a regular rider like me. I'm already too old to join any competition even if I'm interested. I got into riding again because I wanted to exercise and particularly to slim down my big belly. 

I still have a big belly but I've managed to lose some weight. I also got a little fitter and am able to cycle to faraway parks and nature reserves. I love cycling and enjoying nature and visiting beaches. Satisfied with my new bikes and learned how to maintain and changed parts.

Check out my new Raleigh X Philip RL900 mountain bike below:

I've stickers out my bike and some accessories that were included as free gifts. Already bought a new handlebar and stem. Can't wait for them to arrive and fix them on my Raleigh mountain bike. The handlebar is a little too low and hurt my back so I also bought a stem extender.

What do you guys think?
