Holiday Accident

I have been panning this for weeks now, I even had loaded up on carbs so that I can sustain the long distance I was planning to cover. I would have spent my weekend riding a total of 200km for both road and folding bike. But this long weekend for me came to a sudden […]

Claiming my package at the PhilPost Office

Yesterday I got this notice from the Philippine Post Office. It is said that I need to go to Quezon City branch to pick up my packages. This is not my first time to go here as I have been buying from abroad since 2009. Both notices had stamps dated a week apart and arrived […]

Upgrade: Shimano Deore 10s Shifters

My 10speed rear derailleur is just sitting on my desk wondering when will it be installed on my Doppelganger 215 folding bike. I told it to wait while I save up for other neccessary components like the shifters. He shouldn’t wait long as I have just purchased this Shimano Deore 10 speed Shifter. Actually, I […]

Imitations & broken things

Last week, I found out that my pedal was making weird noises. I thought that by just tightening the pedals to the crank arms will make the noise go away, but it didn’t. I was embarrassed when biking specially around people because they will hear that sound my pedals are making. I didn’t know what […]

Tefal Toolbox

I find this to be an unnecessary purchase because I already have a saddle bag for my tools. But I must admit that this looks cool and doesn’t look like thieves would think twice that this has my valuables inside! (OOPS) This toolbox adds space for my, well, tools! My Deuter saddlebag is so small that I […]

Valentine’s Day Ride

Its Valentine’s day and how are you going to spend it? Me? I bought my wife a card and a bouquet of stargazers and relaxed at home. But I did get to spend a few hours of saddle time. 🙂 Yesterday was the only day to buy flowers for my wife. I used my biking […]

Noisy Pedals and City ride

I biked to another city while waiting for the wife to get home. She works near the location where I took this photo. I felt that I need to go somewhere else than my usual bike route. I needed to change my scenery or else I feel that I would just stop riding my bike. […]

Damaged Grips

These grips are so comfy, I’ve grown fond of them. They are still the stock grips that came with my folding bike. A few things I didn’t like with it though, are the white part that holds the grip to the handlebar and it collects dirt on the small ridges. I am now close to 600Km […]

Long Ride: Angat Dam

This is the first time I rode my bike outside the city. Destination: Angat Dam!

Upgrade: Tiagra RD

I’ve been on the lookout for parts to upgrade to since replacing my stock wheelset with a 9/10s Shimano Dura Ace hubs.
