Newbie's Concerns

Jaysd — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 08:33:11 GMT

Hi guys, newbie here.

I just got my bike last Sunday sa Quiapo.

Custom built at ako namili ng parts.

Quick questions:

1. Is there a quick and reliable Filipino way of cleaning the bike? Gusto ko kasi malinis bago ipasok sa loob ng bahay.
2. What are the necessary accessories needed for the mtb?
3. What is a good brand of helmet / gloves. Bang for the buck na matibay at hindi overpriced.
4. What are the tools needed to maintain the bike? Ano tawag doon?
5. My bike's front gear does not have anymore the "click" sound when shifting upwards, dati naman meron. Pero downwards may click sound naman. May kailangan ba i adjust?

Any help would be great thanks in advance.

Fit, healthy gov�t employees eyed in MIMAROPA

froilanr — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 05:16:46 GMT

Last time napanood ko ito sa t.v. news.

Maganda lahat ng government offices at tao bigyan ng health-consciousness. At the same time actionan.

Knowledge without action, e wala rin positive results.

Fit, healthy gov’t employees eyed in MIMAROPA
January 28, 2015Written by Lee Ann DucusinPublished in Provincial0 comments
TO keep employees in the region healthy and physically fit, the Department of Health – MIMAROPA on Monday launched the “Belly Gud for Health (BG for Health) 2015 Challenge."

DoH regional director Eduardo Janairo said the program aims to keep employees healthy and fit through healthy lifestyle practices and by reducing the incidence of over-nutrition such as overweight and obesity among its personnel.

“We underwent long vacations during the past week and also indulged in lots of food consumption, especially during the holidays. These excess fats in our belly should be trimmed accordingly though proper diet and regular exercise to avoid having cardiovascular diseases,” Janairo said.

“It is also important for the proper positioning of supplements, natural products such as teas and the prohibition on the use of slimming drugs and other commercial formulations," he stressed.

The DoH official said all employees of the region will be included in the six-month challenge of trimming their belly to a more desirable waistline.

“They will be measured using high waist circumference and will also undergo risk factor assessment such as glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure and body mass index," he said.

Janairo explained that employees are exposed every day to fast foods which have high-fat, high-sugar, high-salt, energy-dense and poor micronutrient foods. They are lower in cost but also lower in nutrients. In addition to these, they have lower levels of physical activity which tends to lead to obesity.

He said the participants for the six-month program will undergo healthy diet, nutrition and physical activity interventions according to their preference, schedule and convenience.

Jogging, aerobics and isometric exercises are encouraged.

Monitoring and recording of the participants’ waist circumference will be assessed.. The desirable waist circumference is less than 90cm for men and less than 80cm for women.

General Bike Inquiry (frame and size)

kev — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 10:30:16 GMT

Hi guys, question lang. Yung brother in law ko kasi pinamana na sakin yung Mongoose Comp Tyax (2012) niya, all stocK, bought from SM North.
Ang problema kasi ang height niya is 5'7-5'8 ang height ko naman is 5'3 3/4 or 5'4.
yung frame ng bike is Small, medyo parang mataas kasi skin yung bike, kapag naka tigil ako nakatingkayad yung paa ko para maabot yung floor. Kapag naka tayo ako sa bike, sayad yung top tube ng bike sa balls ko, may chance paba na maging fit yung bike sakin?
Last option ko po ay bumili ng frame, sa ngayon kasi wala pang budget.
Plano ko pala gamitin ang bike going to work.

Thank you brothers!

bang for the buck hardtail frame

Sileo — Wed, 28 Jan 2015 09:18:18 GMT

after slowly upgrading parts from the current bike,
will be soon be assembling a 2nd one.

would like to hear your opinions on the best 'bang for the buck' hardtail
frame available for a 27.5 or 29'er. around 16k-ish budget, can go slightly higher.

thanks!
