Some new ideas for your bike - from Engr June Francisco

                       The Exustar carbon fiber pedal (I have an Exustar in my Fuji CF but only the alloy one)

                          VMs Durace pedal

Eng June is a manager at a famous car aircon company in Canlubang Laguna. He is very well versed in TPS, Kaizen and innovation in all things mechanical (he is a mechanical engineer)

And his bike bear stamps of innovativeness and his engineering background.



He has installed an Exustar carbon fiber pedal (which he claims is superior to his current Look pedal which he sold for only P1t to Secx Noe - I should have known last week) which he bought from Marauders (a new bike shop in town, near his place in Antipolo. The new pedal he said,

     1.  weighs only 85 grams
     2.  has titanium shaft (that means it is very strong even in crashes it wont bend)

     Wow, and costs only P6t+

 He also had SS PVC coated shift cable which cost P150 each.  That means to say no more broke shift cable from rusting.

Maybe you should install one in your bike....

My practice endurance ride yesterday - long ride to Pililla via Antipolo

            Secx Noe and Engr June (just trimmed haircut)

My practice endurance ride yesterday, October 2 took me up to Antipolo Church and then to Simples Lugawan in Morong in Pililla.

I met a cyclists at Antipolo Church who hails from San Carlos City, where one of our businesses were located.  He plans to put up with a partner from Angono, a motorcycles parts store in Baytown.  More power Sir


I met Gerry, Secx Noe, and Engr June at Simples Lugawan.

I saw the landslide along the road going up to Beverly Hills as result of heavy rains last Saturday.  It is interesting to note that I now pass MTBs and other road bikers going up Antipolo.  There was one who passed me but I caught up with him past Beverly Hills.

Secx went to our office to check me out

Secx Noe was in our office at about 9:30 this morning.   I was wondering why.  He said Master E texted him to check me out because I have not been with the group for the last 2 weeks.  Well I said, I had permission from Luis and I informed him I had teaching chores at Iloilo.

That is good to know he said.   I might be sick or whatever?

Thank you guys for checking out.  Thanks for your caring

Unpublished Solo pictures at Lion's Head at 5th Baguio ride - from Secx Noe

Biking and health

My camera completely lost power at the Lion's head and thus I was unable to post the more interesting pictures at this penultimate portion of the climb.  Now we can see this at this site;  these were published before at FB.

 Richard in his signature new pose with the bike;  we are really improving even on how we pose!

Solo pictures at Lion's Head

These are the only valid and solid proofs that we climbed Baguio...These support the Certificates of Achievement.

 Secx Noe in front of the camera;   the rest of the time he was behind camera and took these pics;  Thank you po Sir; and lending me these pictures to post and share.  Salamat sir.

 This Cannondale bike does not know it is being replaced by a Tarmac;   the biker is a celeb!

  Jb trying hard how to use the bike as an armalite?!

 Another celeb posing before the Lion.

 Is Diego Silang from the North?

 Gerry K tops and his pamangkin Choco2 at the background

 Another celeb in the making, he had lot of live fans at Rosario La Union, even more so at the web!

 Preng Luis in his Higante pose

 Jeff looking so serious underneath the Lions jaws

 Archie was all smiles;   it was his first time to climb Baguio by bike?

   VM, with his hands at the trigger of the Dogma Pinarello. I wonder how much it costs?  P30t?

The perfect pose at Lion's Head;  the entire head is visible;  Armin and his gorgeous Cannondale bike

VM looking trigger happy with his Pinarello Dogma

 JB Fuji bike is also light?  Can not seem to find the trigger.

 Can Richard startle the Lion?  He is trying to with his bike.....

 The Lion did not budge so Archie and Richard tried shooting one another instead.

 VM shifted his finger to safety mode....but Dogma is eager to shoot
