I cycle in highway ...13km twice a week...also I am kinda new to cycle I have firefox axis. This helmet costs me 849/-

So confused if I should get this or not. I have a scott aspect already but was thinking if my dad and I could ride cycle together... So is this a good deal or should I skip this one...

I want to buy Carbon frame cycle. With range of 1.80L. So I’ve thought of going with Fuoco Top Gen2 which has UCI approved frame. But then I am thinking that whether I should buy Indian Carbon frame road bike which has Shimano 105 made by Stimulai RCX (frame made in china but entire cycle is assembled in India

For context I’m 6’1 and weigh 92 kg, I need a bike only for cardio and medium intense riding on a combination of asphalt and typical Indian roads. Thing is I’m on a budget and what’s ideal for me ? (Also it’s a really old bike )

Hi everyone,

This is my second post for similar question. (https://www.reddit.com/r/india\_cycling/s/v7yxSzm9zJ)

​I'm looking to start cycling as beginner for fitness and endurance. Here are my details:

​

Age: 35yrs Male

Weight:95kgs

Height:177cms (5'10")

​Riding Conditions: Smooth state highways & paved roads around our town

​Target Distance: ~50 km rides

​Budget: Under ₹35,000

​I’ve narrowed my search down to these 4 bikes:

1. ​CRADIAC Concept X (24-Speed Hybrid, Disc Brakes, 700x35c tires)

https://cradiac.com/products/cradiac-concept-24-speed-gear-hybrid-cycle-700-35-c-bike-rigid-fork-6061-alloy-frame-700-35c-nylon-tires-dual-disc-brakes-ideal-for-15-years-men-boys-girls-copy

2. ​Battalion Frontline V3 (2x7 Road Bike, Rim Brakes, 700x28c tires)

https://battalionbikes.com/products/frontline-v3-new

3. ​Triban RC100 (1x7 Road Bike, Rim Brakes, 700x32c tires)

https://www.decathlon.in/p/8515669/road-bike-triban-rc100-flat-bar-aluminium-frame-7-speed-caliper-brakes

4. ​FitTrip Super Velo (2x7 Road Bike, Disc Brakes, 700x25c tires)

https://fittripbikes.com/single-shop/super-velo

​Given my weight (95 kg) and long-distance goal, I want to ensure I pick a bike with comfortable geometry, good gear range, and tires that won't give frequent punctures or a harsh ride.

​Questions:

1. ​Which of these four is the best option for a beginner at my weight?

2. ​Are 25c tires on the FitTrip too narrow for 95 kg?

3. ​Should I stick to a hybrid (CRADIAC) or go for an endurance drop-bar road bike (Battalion/Triban)?

4. ​Are there any other alternative bikes under ₹30-35k I should consider?

​Thanks in advance for the advice!

Planning to further upgrade my bike with gears. Any suggestions and guide for optimal configuration?

I accidentally bought this Magene integrated handlebar mount, but my bike has a normal 31.8mm round handlebar.

Is there an adapter that lets me use this mount without drilling/modifying my handlebar?
, I want to reuse this mount with a 31.8mm clamp + adapter plate rather than buy another mount.

Any suggestions or links would be appreciated!

I got it from bumsonthesaddle i cant even return can anyone help me

or if anyone is intrested in exchanging this with a regular mount

I bought a Decathlon RC100 on 8 March 2026. This is my first proper geared bicycle, so as a beginner, I did not thoroughly inspect the cycle when I purchased it.

I have been riding it normally since then. From the beginning, I noticed that the derailleur was not properly calibrated, which was causing inconsistent gear shifting. I thought I will get it corrected at local shop

Yesterday, while checking the gears, I noticed that one of the rear-wheel spokes was out of place (see video). I took the bicycle to a local cycle shop, and they told me that the spoke is actually broken and that the rear wheel is wobbling (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O5TDIW3cJ9b3XHd-JCU4i9Bcw-OrohxW/view?usp=sharing).

As far as I know, I have been riding the bicycle normally and have not had any accident or major impact. I am therefore surprised that a spoke has broken after only around five months of normal use. I understand that wheels/spokes can require maintenance, but I am wondering whether this could be considered a warranty issue, particularly since the bicycle is relatively new.

The nearest Decathlon store is around 40 km from me, and I don't have a car, so taking the bicycle there is not particularly easy.

What would you suggest as the next step?

• Should I contact Decathlon customer support first and explain the issue?
• Should I ask them specifically for a warranty inspection?
• Is it safe to ride the bicycle 40 km to the Decathlon store, or should I get the wheel repaired locally first?
• Has anyone with an RC100 faced a similar broken-spoke/wobbling-wheel issue and successfully had it resolved under warranty?

Any advice from RC100 owners or people familiar with Decathlon's warranty/service process would be appreciated. 🚲 Please help me in this issue.

i think the derailleur is working fine but the shifter does not cause movement in the derailleur cable i.e. shifter doesn't change the tension in cable.

What could be the issue here.
