Bisikleta Philippines: Having my shocks serviced by Dan's
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2015/03/having-my-shocks-serviced-by-dans.html
How I got into mountain biking. Monday, March 30, 2015. Having my shocks serviced by Dan's. I noticed that there was some oil when I touched the pro-pedal switch of my Fox Float RP23 rear shock after the Timberland ride. I can't escape it. I need to have it serviced. So I called Dan's Bike Shop to check their schedule, and I'm happy that they're open on Saturdays. But I have no choice. I need to have it serviced. True enough, come Thursday, I got a call from them. The shocks is ready! Dan's is the offici...

Bisikleta Philippines: Revisting Velo City
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2014/03/revisting-velo-city.html
How I got into mountain biking. Wednesday, March 12, 2014. Revisting the Velo City Bike Shop always brings back a lot of memories. It was here where I bought my first branded frame in 1998 - a 16-inch mango-yellow Cannondale CAAD3 frame. A year after, I upgraded my fork from a RockShox Mag21 to a blue Marzocchi Z.2 BAM, which I got from here. Even my classic Onza titanium L-bend bar-ends was from this store. Aside from all the eye-candy, their wrench is, in my opinion, one of the best in the business....

Bisikleta Philippines: Trying Out Strava
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2014/10/trying-out-strava.html
How I got into mountain biking. Monday, October 27, 2014. I noticed that I get Strava updates from my friends on my Facebook feed every now and then. I guess some of you with biker friends get the same thing. I get updates from the likes of Edmund Mangaser, who did well on his Tour of Matabungkay debut, to Ferds Faytaren, who did a Batangas - Lipa - Rosario solo loop. I was only able to appreciate my ride when I got home and saw the results on Strava's website. Check out my experience:. This is a sample ...

Bisikleta Philippines: PNoy: Our Biking President
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2011/01/pnoy-our-biking-president.html
How I got into mountain biking. Tuesday, January 11, 2011. PNoy: Our Biking President. Mama, if you can only see me now! I don't need no balancers no more! For the cycling community, having a president who bikes is good news. But what's cool is this has a potential to become better news, and I'll write about it in a bit. It's good PR for the sport, especially in a country where basketball is king. Seeing a photo of a president biking may. Posted by Jovan Puyo. Instead of Maybe, I would say Hopefully.

Bisikleta Philippines: Going Tubeless
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2007/04/going-tubeless.html
How I got into mountain biking. Saturday, April 14, 2007. It was fun, fun, fun till her daddy took the T-Bird away. So goes the line in one of the Beach Boys' more popular songs. It was like that for me when King convinced me to have my new wheelset converted to tubeless by Dandan of All Terra. In short, I went home with more than just a freshly tuned fork. Now I told King about the "latest acquisition" and he told me to have my new wheelset converted to tubeless. I thought I might as well do it and ...

Bisikleta Philippines: Tubeless, finally!
http://www.bisikleta.ph/2014/10/tubeless-finally.html
How I got into mountain biking. Monday, October 13, 2014. I have a tubeless-ready wheelset (Mavic XM 819 Discs laced up to Chris King hubs and DT spokes), but for the longest time I've been running tubes. It's because tubeless has failed me twice already. Tubeless conversion, to be exact. The first one was when I had the IRC Mythos converted to tubeless using Stan's. That was a fail also, mostly because I didn't have a compressor to blast it with air. Pump, pump, pump, pump! Pump, pump, pump, pump! Im ne...

http://www.bisikleta.ph/2011/01/mindoro-bikepackers-movie.html
How I got into mountain biking. Sunday, January 30, 2011. The Mindoro Bikepackers movie. Now available on HD plus extra footage from the trip! A month after the actual ride, I finally managed to produce the movie of our Mindoro mountain bike adventure. It's a bit long (26 minutes) but I think you'll like it. Please excuse the resolution as I have to compress the file to make it a bit easier to upload. If you want to watch the HD 1080p version, let me know. Read about the whole four-day adventure!
