climbing/going down sinai on a bike? (the middle loose rock area)

spyghost — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 06:17:01 GMT

:thinking:

the climb:
i don't know kung pagod nako that time pero nag hike nalang ako instead of bike...
'i think' one should climb this pedaling while standing... can anyone do seated climbing here?

the descent:
will you go down here on a bike?

remember what i'm talking about is the loose rock portion in the middle.

Help Building a CX bike

deadhungry — Thu, 24 Apr 2014 05:50:02 GMT

Mga Master tanong ko lang how much ba need ko na budget in building a CX bike? Gusto ko kase pwede sya road, light trails at balak ko din gawin commuter. Papano po ba diskarte sa ganun? Gusto ko kase disc brakes, pero naka drop bar parang yung Trek na Crossrip.

Yung current bike ko kase was a built hard tail bike, so iniisip ko this time around will try to assemble it para hinde chapsuey yung parts if possible.

TIA!

Sea Otter 2014 - Magura Four Piston Brakes and eLECT Rear Shock

Webot — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 17:51:44 GMT

Brakes

Hidden in the back of the Magura's booth was their new four piston brake, which is primarily oriented towards the gravity crowd. The levers and reservoir were cloaked under some knitted covers, so we didn't get an opportunity to examine them.

The four piston brake uses four top loading organic pads, and much of its technology and design came from their development of their Motard motorcycle brakes. The pads sit in an asymmetrical manner on the pistons, and there is a small gap between them, all of which assist with better heat management and lower temperatures being transferred to the rotors. The four pad design allowed them to use a thinner metal backing and increase the resin material thickness, for superior longevity and improved cooling. The caliper is forged in a single piece, and the pads are held in place with magnets along with a retaining screw.

Like the Motard design, it uses a brace across the middle between each side of the caliper for additional stiffness. The all-metal Motard calipers are a hefty piece of equipment, and definitely show some shared designs with bicycle systems. They also were showing a BMW clutch lever and master cylinder, which uses the same Carbotechture construction as their mountain bike brakes, yet are strong enough for motorcycle use.

The brakes are supposed to weigh around 350 grams for a front brake with a 160mm rotor and its required hardware. They should be available in July, with a price that has yet to be determined.

The four pistons and four pads with their offset and spaced setting, will help with heat dissipation and increase overall performance.

Suspension

Magura's eLECT automatic fork adjuster for their TS forks uses a 3D accelerometer, and a handlebar mounted Ant+ remote. The eELCT is an automatic lock out cartridge that is either on or off, with a non adjustable blow off for larger impact. The 3D accelerometer in the damper is just like what your smartphone or video game controller uses, and will lock out the fork in 0.2 seconds when it's detected orientation reaches a preset pitch angle, or it's impacted.

Magura has now added a rear shock with the eLECT technology to their lineup. The eLECT fork and rear shock work in tandem in the automated mode, with the fork acting as the main brain for controlling the pitch lockout sensing and feeding that information to the rear. The new three-button handlebar remote wirelessly communicates to the fork and shock, allowing you to select manual open or closed for either unit, or the automated mode for both of them together.

For safety and control, it has a blow off and a free fall detection if big drops are encountered and will unlock the fork and shock before impact, and if anything electronically malfunctions, the dampers revert to the open mode.

hub/rim for through axle frame help

cosmonuke — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 12:15:45 GMT

Hello mga sir, im a newbie and building a new mtb for myself. I bought Merida BigSeven 1000 frame then sabi ng seller sakin its a through axle type 12x142. my problem is nabili ko siya sa store which doesn't carry shimano group sets and epicon brands. can you guys suggest kung saan ako makakabili ng hub and rim for this frame? Btw my original plan is to buy a slx hub but they told me that its not compatible for this frame. napabili pa tuloy ako ng thru axle worth 1.5k, do I really need it?

May nabibili ba na rear lang na hub? I will use epicon fork pala.. paano kaya gagawin ko kasi d ba pair sya binibili?

Also which is better a 32 or 36holes?

My budget is only 1.5-2.5k for both hubs and 800-1.2k for each rim.

Any suggestion? Help please!

Thank you so much!

Showcase: 6 Shoes To Kickstart Your Ride - From Lake Cycling, Five Ten, Shimano,

Webot — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:30:25 GMT

LAKE CYCLING MX 331
$380
LAKECYCLING.COM
Lake Cycling has been through its share of ups and downs in recent years due to changes in its U.S. distribution and the closure of Veltec Sports, its former owner. The company re-emerged at the Sea Otter Classic in 2013 with new Dutch owners and a revamped product line. A standout in the mountain-bike category is the MX331, a carbon-soled, Kangaroo-leather shoe with all-mountain riders in mind. It uses a BOA closure, which is easy to adjust. After three months of regular wear, I have not experienced any jamming or other problems with the micro-adjust dial, and the fit feels snug without being overly tight. An internal carbon-fiber heel adds extra support in the back, and makes for a secure fit. The carbon sole is liberally covered with Lake’s Real Rubber Outsole, which I appreciated while navigating steep, rocky trail in Sedona when losing my footing could have landed me at the bottom of a ravine. A small chunk of the rubber heel pad started to come off of one shoe after several months, but the pad is replaceable. The MX 331 is among the most expensive shoes on the market, but if you’re prepared to plunk down for quality, they are worth considering. –Nicole Formosa

FIVE TEN MALTESE RACE
$140
FIVETEN.COM
Five Ten is most famous for its Stealth rubber compounds. When Charles Cole, founder of the brand, created a better climbing shoe nearly 30 years ago, bicycles were probably the last thing on his mind. But it made perfect sense to put the same incredibly sticky rubber on the bottom of a flat-pedal shoe. Five Ten has been in the bike game since 2000, and there’s still no substitute for Stealth. In addition to some of the best flat-pedal shoes out there, Five Ten also makes a few clipless models, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new Maltese Falcon Race. The first thing I noticed when I put them on was their weight. They’re lighter, yet stiffer than previous Falcons, while offering better lace coverage and toe protection. Looking at them, it doesn’t seem like they ventilate very well, but they’re actually not bad. The silver-colored material on the upper is a thin mesh that breathes pretty well. It’s no cross-country racing shoe, but you can actually walk in them without looking like you’re on a hockey rink. The Falcon has great pedaling efficiency, extraordinary hiking grip and plenty of protection in a lightweight and compact package. –Ryan Palmer

SHIMANO SH-XC90
$370
SHIMANO.COM
Shimano’s new top-tier cross-country shoe is an ultra stiff and lightweight racing shoe that maximizes power transfer and efficiency, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be comfortable. There’s a lot of technology in these things. With heat-moldable footbeds and uppers, these kicks offer a level of fit typically reserved for ski boots. Retention includes a micro-adjust ratchet and two opposing Velcro straps that pull from opposite sides of the shoe. This is supposed to secure the top of the foot while mitigating stress zones. Shimano’s R&D found that reducing the toe angle from a traditionally shaped last diminishes stress on the plantar, hamstring and calf. Combining this with a heel cup that keeps the foot planted, you can apply power for a longer part of the pedal stroke. I don’t know about all the technology, what I do know is that putting the SH-90 on felt like jumping in a racecar. They don’t flex at all, delivering power straight to the bike, and somehow, pedaling all day in them is a pleasure. Walking in them, not so much. But that’s not the point. These shoes were meant for pedaling, and that’s just what they’ll do. –RP

SCOTT A. T. R
$150
SCOTT-SPORTS.COM

The Scott A.T.R is a really cool shoe. Just like the Mavic Crossmax, it’s a mix between a cross-country shoe and hiking boot, though it’s much more on the hiking boot side of the spectrum. With its lightweight, highly ventilated construction and BOA closure, the upper looks like it was taken straight from a racing shoe. The sole, however, is much softer, which makes off-the-bike jaunts a pleasure. The A.T.R walks a lot like the Giro and Five Ten, but it comes in a more compact package. Traction is handled by a grippy, Vibram rubber outsole with moderately sized lugs. The slipper-like upper encased my foot without it feeling trapped, which made it the most comfortable and best-ventilated shoe I tested. My only criticism is the lack of toe protection. For such a rugged shoe, a beefed-up toe would be a nice addition. Despite the walkability of the A.T.R, it’s perfectly happy pedaling all day without resulting in hot spots or sore feet, like overly flexy shoes tend to do. I used them with Shimano pedals, and had no problems with the cleat/pedal interface. The A.T. R is a phenomenal shoe with a fast and proven retention system and all-day comfort. –RP

MAVIC CROSSMAX ENDURO
$190
MAVIC.COM
The Mavic Crossmax Enduro shoe was designed for, as the name implies, enduro racing—which in fact, means that it’s perfect for most of us—the everyday mountain biker. Not long ago, if a mountain bike shoe was good off the bike, it was crap on the bike, and vice versa. Enduro racing is spawning the seemingly obvious marriage of these two extremes. Racers, just like everyday riders, need stiffness for pedaling efficiency, impact protection for toes and ankles, and actual rubber lugs for traction off the bike. Sounds like exactly what I’ve always wanted but could never get. How do the Crossmax Enduro shoes fare? Very well, I’d say. They cover the bases with plenty of toe and ankle protection, stiff soles and big rubber lugs. Additional features include the quick-lacing system covered by a handy Velcro cover, micro-adjust ratchet and neoprene ankle bootie. Although the hard-rubber lugs are great in the dry, they lack the traction on wet surfaces that a softer rubber might have. This isn’t a deal breaker for me, but it could be improved. The Mavic Crossmax Enduro is solid and versatile shoe whether you’re entering Megavalanche or spinning along backyard trails. –RP

GIRO CHAMBER
$140
GIRO.COM
I first strapped on the Chamber, Giro’s new clipless downhill shoe this past October. Not three minutes into the first run, I snagged a tree and was bleeding all over my new kicks. But that wouldn’t keep me down. What would, however was my next crash—for a couple days. We didn’t have a great first ride together, but every ride since has made up for that first crappy day. Other than being bloodstained and dirty, the Chambers look new. Construction is solid, and features include an internal bootie for a secure fit, tough EVA midsole and Vibram outsole, which offers plenty of traction, and, like the upper, still looks new. The internal bootie really cradles the foot and does a good job of keeping pebbles and things out, but may be too snug around the arch for some people. I noticed some arch pain after a few hours in saddle, but that’s not to say you will. All said, I’m a fan of the Chamber. Sure, it’s designed for downhill, but the Chamber is tough as nails, stiff enough for pedaling and comfortable enough to walk in making it the perfect everyday riding shoe. –RP

Info: 10 Do�s and Do Nots of Oral Hygiene

froilanr — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 08:01:57 GMT

Nag-bo-browse ako patunkol sa pag-properly or maayos na pag-linis ng toilet bowl. Tapos nakita ko ito.

I hope makakatulong din sa iba ito. Kasi kahit alam na natin, madalas hindi parin natin na-pa-practice or gawa palagi.

------------------------------------------------------

10 Do’s and Do Nots of Oral Hygiene

Here are some things you should know about oral hygiene.

Oral Hygiene

Maintaining proper oral hygiene levels and keeping our teeth clean will result in healthy strong teeth. If you have a healthy mouth, half of the problems with your body will automatically disappear. If you have a healthy mouth it will mean that your gums are pink and they do not bleed, you do not suffer from bad breath constantly and the teeth are clean and free from decay and cavity. Visiting a dentist at regular intervals is very important, but apart from that you can even practice other hygiene methods at home to heave a healthy mouth. Below is list of thing that you should and you shouldn’t do.

Do’s

1. Brush your teeth at least twice a day or preferably after each meal with a toothpaste containing fluoride. Brushing regularly will keep your teeth clean and reduce the chances of decay. But use a soft bristled brush, a brush with hard bristles may be rough on your gums and can make them bleed.
2. Floss once a day at bedtime. Toothbrush cannot reach in the tiny corners between teeth and by flossing we can make sure that the corners and crevices remain as clean as the rest of the teeth.
3. Use a mouthwash on a daily basis, and preferably one that has fluoride after consulting your dentist.
4. Use a tongue cleaner every day and keep the tongue clean. It is important to have the tongue as clean as the rest of the mouth.
5. Eat a healthy diet, eating a healthy diet will ensure that we get enough calcium which is vital for the health of our teeth.
6. Chewing medicated chewing gum is also not a bad idea.
7. Drink enough quantity of milk to get your daily requirements of calcium, if you are allergic to milk and milk products take calcium supplements.

Don’ts

1. Don’t eat food with too much sugar in them. Excessive sugar can decay teeth.
2. Stay away from excessive coffee or soft drinks. Coffee and soft drinks have a high content of caffeine in them which can discolor your teeth.
3. Do not smoke excessively. Apart from all the other health hazards that smoking causes, they also damage your teeth and gums. Smoking also makes your breath smell bad.
4. Children should be kept away from mouthwashes. If children are allowed to use mouthwash they might swallow it which can present other health hazards.

Following these simple guidelines can ensure proper oral hygiene. Those with braces need to take extra care. They need to ensure that they follow up all their appointments at the orthodontist. They should also stay away from certain food items that may be sticky or crunchy. Children especially should visit an orthodontist regularly so that any early problems can de detected and worked upon. Maintaining oral hygiene will ensure that we have shiny white teeth and healthy gums. It ensures that our natural teeth would last long into our life. But apart from that it can also prevent a host of dental illnesses and problems that can cost us plenty of money for treatment.

For Your Info.

----------------------------------
Weather Outlook

Issued at: 5:00 p.m. 21 April 2014
Valid until: 5:00 p.m. 27 April 2014

The whole country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening due to the Ridge of High Pressure Area (HPA) extending over Northern Luzon. Meanwhile, the Low Pressure Area (LPA) was estimated at 830 km east of Guiuan, Eastern Samar. The said Low Pressure Area is too far to affect any part of the country within the next 24 hours.

By Tuesday afternoon, (April 22) the Low Pressure Area (LPA) will bring light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms over the provinces of Leyte and Samar. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.

On the next day (April 23), the Low Pressure Area (LPA) will bring light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms over Bicol region and northern part of Samar Province. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.

After traversing the Eastern Visayas and Bicol Region (April 24), the Low Pressure Area (LPA) will dissipate. The eastern section of Luzon will be cloudy with scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms due to easterlies. Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies in the afternoon or evening with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

By Friday (April 25), the whole country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms mostly in the afternoon or evening.

For the rest of the outlook period (April 26 - 27 ), Bicol Region and Eastern Visayas will experience cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms due to the development of a new Low Pressure Area (LPA) east of Mindanao (outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility )
