Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[-nzy90]

I already posted to stop these nonsense. Now still dig it up. Can move on or not.. Never ending like that

Even myself as a feeder to cats and dogs, as well as a cyclist and pedestrian, i have not made a comment to both sides of the argument. Reason is there is no right or wrong.

Yup. Didn't even bother to comment at all until that kid decide to dig it up again. Not even related to bicycles.

Settle it with a race?

Settle it by dismanting your whole bike and building it up on the spot .

Might as well say go camp strip and assemble rifle then go for range.

Broadwalk. You may consider buying this torch + holder, and pouch for your bike. Torch is around 18 bucks, holder around 5 and pouch around 18. Rough estimates only as i cant remember the specific amount. But definitely worth the price. Torch is very very bright.

I also went to bikeactually to buy the duo stem extender at $31. Now can ride abit more upright.

total light output in excess of 3000 lumens when I cycle at night out front. ... Any tips other than I should get a helmet?

Yeah, more batteries. Seriously, 3000 lumens? With a 4-pack cell of 18650s you're only going to last 3 hrs. LTA says lights on from 7 pm to 7 am.

I realised i cannot just order helmet without trying. Where's the best place to try?

Note: i will buy directly from the shop instead of online

I am only going to suggest Hup Leong (that bike shop in Chinatown) because I have found their service to be the best in SG so far.

Wondering, possible to change v-brake to disc brake, without changing the wheel?

I think it's a bit more involved than that. For what sort of bike?

At the very least, off hand I can think of, if your hubs are already disk ready and the frame and fork both have mounts for installing the disk brake calipers. What else?

Any particular brand you're looking at? I've found MET helmets very comfy for Asian heads. Can check them out at The Bike Settlement.

I was looking at the Cube Cross Race Cyclo X Bike 2016. But any recommendations I wouldn't mind. Any tips for a newbie? I used to cycle MTB fast in trails from bukit panjang to Bukit timah and vice versa since I was 9 without a helmet and everytime I ride past older cyclists I always get reprimanded for not wearing one. Now I'm trying to transition to a road bike or cyclocross bike. I know that I won't be able to really take care of a road bike which is why I'm going with a cyclocross bike. I still do ride my MTB but on the road. I have 2 really bright blinkers at the rear and total light output in excess of 3000 lumens when I cycle at night out front. I make sure I am seen. Any tips other than I should get a helmet?

zhunbo 300 lumen flashlight

yes,

your frame needs to have the tab to put the disc rotors.


your hub needs to have the mounting tab for the rotor
