Hi there. Wanna ask. I brought second hand bicycle all good except the handle bar is too lower .. and it was already max. Is there a way I can modify it myself?
*
Is your stem zero degree ?

If not you can flip it the way around.

Else just get a riser stem

this one solid and the build is almost rust free. The sound is good too. Installation is easy and no need to pull out everything on handlebar. Most important the cost RM6.5 now. Really impeccable.

Yeah
Rm6.50 is a steal

Try applying soapy water at the edges.

Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

How did you put the tyre into the rim until the lever broke ?

I always use soapy water ( if at home ) on the edges of the tyre if I face difficulty. Instead of using the lever to push the tyre into the rim, try sliding it. Slide slide slide until it all goes in.

alloy frame.

The worst case is to buy hope seat clamp which cost me RM130 and the size is bigger a bit (38.5mm).

Or buy Fouriers SCL-S007 38.1mm but it is not a quick release clamp.

Really hard to make a choice.

Not planning to get a dropper seat post?
Then no need for the qr clamp.

I got consider but seem my frame is outer cable setting and the dropper seat post is so heavy some more it is not cheap. Even entry level dropper like KS/DNM/FA also cost RM4xx~6xx. If those RS/Fox cost more expensive. Also hard to find good outer cabling dropper.

If you do a lot of enduro trail. Those with steep and big drops, its a good upgrade.
Initially I had the same thought. Also on the weight.
Once I started using it and got used to it, it's a nice thing to have on your bike.

They tyre i was changing is those non-foldable ones and it was very stiff. I tried to slide it in using my thumb and fingers (just like youtube) till i bruised all my fingers. Then I tried using the tyre lever (cheapo ones) and a spanner and managed to get 1 tyre in. Managed to get the second tyre in the nxt day using all sorts of tools I can think of, not before tearing the tube along the way.  mad.gif

Eventually, went to a shop to change the tube. Watched the guy taking out and putting the tyre back on with not much difficulty made me laugh at myself.  wink.gif First time experience. Hope to do better the nxt time.

Tyre levers. Get the good ones. These are the things you cannot save money on.

I've been using this Zefal brand levers since the late 1990s until today. Still using the same levers. Haven't break yet. ha ha.
No issues during tyre installation.
Good ones are designed properly. Sliding in the tyres no issues.

That's why this model is still available today.
Search for this brand Zefal.

Another way is to sell this as there may too many items to upgrade.

Get one updated bicycle from decathlon.

One of the main issue I see in the pic of his bike
Is the level of the saddle.
Why is it so low.
How to cycle efficiently ?
This explains why he was having "power" issues.

This kind of bike huge selling for foreign worker. Mostly use 1.95 tire. The tire width range from 1.95~2.1. I saw those bangla ride fast too. So you can use this bike train yourself first. First lube all moving parts.

If you can not ride on 40T front and 14T rear how you gonna use those 42T/44T front and 11T rear? Some more it is 26" wheel. Imagine if it is 27.5 inch or 29 inch it is more hard for you. So no need to change anything yet since the bike look so new now. This bike ride in resident area not an issue at all.

Yes. Correct
And since he is not using it on off-road trails. Replace the knobbly tyres with road tyres. Or semi slick.

I have one old yokota Yosemite MTB, with Columbus chromoly tubing...my dad's MTB. I replaced the tyres with maxxis detanator since I'm using it on road ride only.
