I'm looking for recommendations for a trusted bike shop in Pasig that does quality bike overhauls without charging premium prices.

I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest option—I just want a shop that:

does a thorough and proper overhaul

doesn't overcharge

has a good reputation

is honest about which parts actually need replacement

has experienced mechanics

For reference, I ride an MTB and mostly do endurance rides. My bike doesn't need a full rebuild, but I'd like to have it checked and serviced properly before small issues become bigger problems.

If you've had a good experience with a shop in Pasig or nearby areas (Cainta, Marikina, Taytay, Mandaluyong, etc.), I'd appreciate recommendations. It would also help

if you could share:

shop name

approximate overhaul price

what was included in the service

your experience with the mechanics

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm currently using a Sagmit Evo 3 wheelset and Maxxis Pace tires, and I'm thinking about converting my setup to tubeless. Few questions.

Is the Sagmit Evo 3 tubeless compatible/tubeless ready?

Has anyone here successfully run this exact combination tubeless?

If the rim is tubeless ready but the tire isn't officially tubeless ready, is it still possible, and how reliable is it?

What would I need besides tape, valves, and sealant?

Any experiences or advice would be appreciated. Thanks! 🚴‍♂️

Need advice lang from MTB/road people here.

I have a Hassns GX Hollowtech crankset with a generic bottom bracket. It started creaking before, then I had it repacked and the noise got a lot quieter

Current situation:

no side-to-side play / no obvious alog

no rough feeling when pedaling

creak only happens under heavy effort, usually on the hardest gear

when I ride chill or in lighter gears, the sound is basically gone

BB is about near a year old

sometimes it got wet from rain on the road

crank arm and pedals were already replaced before

My questions:

Does this sound more like the bottom bracket or could it still be something else?

If I replace it, can I use a Shimano Hollowtech II BB with the Hassns GX crankset?

For a budget-friendly Shimano BB, which model is the safest pick?

Is it still okay to ride for now, or should I replace it soon?

Thanks in advance.
