Got my Rs120 delivered just now by delhivery agent. He told we don’t assemble the bike we have to do it on our own.
Is this the same for every delivery? I have no idea how to assemble it. Will there be any guide inside?
I just left it unopened because just in case if I have to return it.
Please help me.
I visited the Decathlon store after reading all positive about Riverside 120. But in the store the sales rep is pushing me to go for Triban RC 100 by saying that riverside is a very beginner model and it has some issues with brakes and etc.
As I am buying a good cycle for the first time, I couldn't make out anything. Please help me choose one. The prices are Riverside 120 is 12k, and RC 100 is 21k. He gave me a feeling that with a budget of 10-15k, I can't get a decent bicycle.
Please help me with this
Please suggest looking to buy cycling glasses
I want to ship my cycle from Bangalore to Hyderabad. Has anyone done something similar? Which courier service did you use? Also is it necessary to disassemble the cycle and send it?
Can any of you guys suggest me a good frame lock for Riverside 120. Because it is easy to lock when I casually go anywhere not carrying those bulky wired locks and all.
Just installed an Apple AirTag under the saddle to track my bike in case someone tries to steal it. I’m going to cover it with black electrical tape to protect it from dust and water. The best part is I'll easily be able to change the battery after a year without having to peel the whole thing off. Hopefully, it works out!
​
Maybe it's just a bicycle to most people, but for me it feels like the start of something new. Hoping it gets me out of the house more, improves my fitness, and lets me explore places I wouldn't have otherwise. Looking forward to the journey.
I don't think it's a stretch to say that India has become a hell for cycling during this time of year.
So, few questions for all:
Are y'all actually riding your bikes, or are you just waiting for the heat to dissipate?
Which time range do you go out? As even by evening it continues burning 🔥
The rains make it a little less miserable, but for those doing BRMs or touring, it's not child's play..
So those who do ride, please assist us by sharing how you cope with the heat? (especially maintaining body temps)
First time buying a bike. I don't know if these accessories are worth the money/if decathlon quality justifies the price tag
Context: Im 18M getting into a new college which requires cycle because it is way too big. I don’t wanna buy a new one and wanna take my cycle from home on a flight. Got a few questions and any advice will certainly help
Can I dismantle the cycle and put it in a travelling suitcase and take it through domestic indigo flight or will there be any issues
Can I dismantle it and put it back myself if so how and what tools will I need
More context , i have no prior knowledge in mechanics and working on a cycle myself so ELI5 🙏🏻

Hello Everyone, I am completely new to cycling and I am looking for a decent cycle to get started.
My background: I run a fair bit I have done a half marathon and I run anywhere from 20-40kms a week.
I want to introduce cycling as a low impact form of recovery cardio. I plan to do 30-50 km on Sunday once a week kind of ride.
Considering road conditions in India I am not in favour of speed bikes. Looking for light and easy trail capable hybrid or MTB.
All my rides will be on road.
My budget is 30k including accessories like lights and bottle holder type stuff.
I am new to cycling. Want a road bike
Only done around 5 rides before in total.
Once did a 50k
Done a 100k once in impulse in 7 hours -- in my friend's triban rc100.
Now lil crazy about cycling
Now in my college campus I am required to only use cycle.
Looking for a daily commute and occasionally ride like twice a week.
My budget in 30-35k , my first thought was triban rc100 with drop bar. Any other suggestions. Will be mostly buying it in Bengaluru.
If you know this song you're my friend without an introduction....
Hi Guys, I want to buy a cycle for normal riding in city and on tracks around Hyderabad. My Budget is around 15k-20k. Need suggestions I am inclined towards getting a drop-bar handle cycle and other than that I do not have much knowledge about them as of now.
I do plan to take it to some off-roading as well after a while. So please suggest a car cycle stand as well.
After shifting to waxing no one likes to go back to that dirty filthy chain. But the wax doesn't fancy the monsoons and moisture rich environment in general.
So do you switch to wet lube or continue waxing your chains during this season?
If waxing then do you have any tips to make the chain last longer without waxing?
And any tips in general? Like wipe your chain after rain or some other habits you practice?
