Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[LesterQ]

If you are at all serious about cycling. Don't buy at a $300 budget. If you are serious , down the road. You would regret spending $300 on an aleoca.

Whether or not you will be purchasing a $1000 bike, go to a shop and test ride one then compare it with aleoca's. Then decide...?

hi, i am looking to getting a basic road bike, or basically a bicycle with thin wheels and decent gears as my hse area is up slope. Prefer t bar handle. Dont need to be branded or anything. Just a casual cyclist so budget is around $200-300. is this price reasonable for such a bicycle and do anyone know any place to get it at? Also what kind of frame size should i be getting if i am 162cm. thanks in advance!

only can get urata, should be on a size S

I did watch videos, just that I have never hands on before. And the one time I used tyre levers to replace the stock tyres to big apples. I scratched my rims. :O

Roughly the idea is
Tyre lever out the tyre.
Tube look for the puncture.
Patch kit over.
Pump.
Replace tyres.
Correct?

Birdy has the rack. But its not quick release mah. Haha.
I thinking weekend ride around Singapore with rack to put things. Weekday night right don't need rack can remove.

some tires dont need tires levers to pull out if you have super good thumb.

you need to check tires and rims for potential areas where it might cause a puncture again. if tire got a cut, need to use 2 dollars note fold it and pump back.

That time people say adjust rd very easy can follow videos. End up i messed it up and had to pay to get it tuned.

I am going to swop my pedals. Do i need to reapply grease? If i buy grease, feel like it's waste of money leh. Coz i dont like to disassemble things often. I cant use grease at drive train right?

any idea where to buy? Thomson area those bicycle shop like rodalink/bicyclestop gt sell? i always have the impression they only sell high end bikes. i tot of buying thru qoo10 or carousell but cannot try.

i only will be cycling once a week on park connectors, averaging a 24km route. is a T bar or drop handle better? i nv try drop before. Currently riding a hybrid bike with T bar, already feel my back start to ache at the end of the route.
