quite easy, just take out the rear nut drop the chain, pull out wheel change side then just put back. remeber to tension the chain tightly if not the chain will keep falling out

you need to strip the clear coat and the paint first with a paint thinner.

then you can use spraypaint or automobile paint to paint it back

Anyone used shimano biopace before? How does it compare to modern models and is comparable to which one now? I used to have one more than 20 years ago.

Contact Aleoca. I got my replacement from them. The customer support not bad.

For those who have cycling kakis, they don't even have to bother with locks. As for lonely rider like me, I have to hunt for a good lock sigh

Where do you stay? If you stay near AMK, I can cycle with you in future if I can match your speed.

Anybody who cycled along Sengkang-Punggol PCN last night would have seen an accident involving two bikes. My friend was injured and was in a concussion.

In the end, I called an ambulance and that's why there was an ambulance in the middle of the park.

Anyway, I checked his helmet and saw this:

He landed on the side of his helmet and it saved his life. He's now in a stable condition with plenty of bruises, and CT scan thankfully don't reveal any abnormality.

So please wear helmet during cycling!

Came across a meaningful mass cycling fund raising event that deserves riders' support & participation.

Methodist Welfare Services [MWS] launched the GOOD = GETTING OUT OF DEBT Programme to commemorate Singapore's Golden Jubilee and 130th anniversary of the Methodist Church in Singapore in 2015.

Through the GOOD Programme, MWS hopes to partner with the Methodist family to bless needy families in the community by helping them to clear chronic debt and giving them a fresh start. The families will be chosen through stringent screening by professional staff at our centres and partner agencies to ensure that they meet the criteria and are in dire need for help with their debt.

MWS aims to raise $1.7 million to help 850 families through the GOOD Programme to clear an average of S$2,000 of chronic debt ≥ 6 months per household, that are incurred from daily living expenses such as housing rental/mortgage, Town Council bills, utilities, essential household items bought on hire purchase.

erwinrommel, wish your friend a speedy recovery. Thankfully he was wearing helmet during cycling, must be quite a hard collision at high speed.

Last night I was about to go Sengkang Punggol pcn, but ate dinner too late n too full so didn't go.

May I know exactly where or which spot it happened so that I can be more careful?

I cannot agree more. I am those who rode fast bicycles more than 20yrs ago and never seen anyone wore a bicycle helmet on Singapore road, or very rarely. Recent months when I picked up the hobby again, I was surprised by the strong advocation and commonness of it. After pondering some time decided to get one and realised that it is very important to wear one. In fact it saved me once from an injury when I accidentally knocked onto a metal pole even at a very slow speed.

Btw I got a large size black with grey Prowell helmet worth $30. Might be giving away too. U interested?

Hey Broadwalk, safety is very important when riding. Dont take it lightly. I used to heck care about safety in the past. But thanks to people in here (notably Chiobu and Jay Bee) who keep reminding me of safety, I now become more cautious and always take note of safety.
