This is to say that its not about how cheap or expensive your bike is, its all about proper posture to make you strong eventually in biking. Nice content Coach!
This is amazing coach. You make things easier. Choice of bicycle is one thing but the most important is the cycling technic. As you said, "need riding certification, or else, we just do bike fitting & you'll always couldn't understand everything". That's awesome coach. And see, how popular you're as everyone was greeting you. Thanks from me, from Malaysia.
Hey boss, txs for this. While i think i could use more training in posture, your "don't accelerate" technique really helped me finally break my fear of climbs, ive done antipolo via sumulong and tikling before but always worried and tired of the steep parts, i then tried your technique and i managed the teresa up to antipolo climb fairly easy and for first time, enjoyable. Ive only been riding for 7 months, fairly dedicated with a minimum of 100km per week but was never fond of climbs, your coaching "in my head" really made the difference. Looking forward to meeting you sir one day, cheers and more power to you. Ty
Love how knowledgeable and encouraging the coach is. I’m actually getting the same Java bike and heard it is a solid option for a complete beginner like me.
Like you Mark, I'm a complete beginner. I bought a Java Siluro 3 last year and it's great value. Now I have the incentive to try it on some >15% gradients thanks to this video.
Always watching this episode because for me it motivates me. Even I dont have roadbike yet but I tried appy the technique using MTB. I was able to climb Hinulagang taktak two times. and go home from Antipolo to QC. Soon, I will get my first roadbike and will apply on program at CRZ Control.. and will get that Jersey...
I love your content chief! Very articulate, and comes across as a true pro. A refreshing break from all the mediocre content we’re getting as of late. More power to you and your channel!
I love your comment more! Thank you for visiting. This channel was meant for friends who don’t need coaching or bikefitting, but can use the free visual learning for their own DiY
Sobrang sarap sa pakiramdam yung natatapos ng newbie yung climb na may sprint sa dulo! Can't imagine din yung fulfillment sa end ni coach Leian every time may nagraduate. Grabe!
lol. my knees hurt just by watching he do the climbing. kidding. cycling is great. I have bad knees and recently started cycling to work which is nearby. always feel the pain when starting. But, after a few months i don't feel the pain anymore. Though, i still have problem going down staircase. I'm looking at the java budget bikes and come across your channel. learn new tips just by watching this vid. cool!
nice nice! yan din pansin ko, i rode may friends pinarello f10 then i bought a java 3, parang dko makita ung pagkakaiba, mapa uphill or downhill, slight difference is full carbon bike nya and shifting is smooth pero pag napalitan mo components to, this is a killer! hahaha
I've been cycling riding my 27.5 mountain bike. 1 year and 7 months during the pandemic. And now, owning a scooter, I only cycle 2 to 3 times a week and jogging on the weekends. Now, I'm planning to buy a gravel bike and also open to get a bike fit one day. 😬
wow! solid tong java siluro lalo na sa climb na to. i know this route is steep as hell lol! now im excited to have my hands on the siluro 3. supplier here in cebu said his siluro 3 is now equipped with shimano tiagra group set compared to sora/decaf groupset.
Hi coach! I'm also planning to buy a Java bike which is the Vesuvio V2. I'm 180 cm with 83 cm inseam and most bike manufacturers comes up with a suggestion of Large or 56cm but after watching this video, I'm having second thoughts on placing my order for a 57cm Java Vesuvio. I want to ask for your opinion regarding my dillema. More power to you coach!
I learned something new why it's big ring small cogs supremacy. Para pala pag nag end yung climb 2 clicks down smaller effort kaya mas bibilis yung pedal mo. You can accelerate with lesser effort compared to the climb kaya makakapag recover ka and at the same time mag aaccelerate ka din at the same time.
Siluro 3 has a UCI approved sticker, which means you can actually use it on international and local road races if I am not mistaken. That alone is a winning trade vs. its market price.
Not really, just because it has a UCI sticker it doesnt mean its gunno be a god tier bike right? there are alot of bikes better than Java Siluro 3 but is cheaper.. Yes having the UCI sticker means you can join international races, but not all bikers are planning to race.
Hello coach stumbled upon ur content. i love what u do. i am looking into getting into the hobby. recently bought a size 53 same brand as his. i am 6 flat would that be okay ?
This bike was really easy to assemble ru-vid.comUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.
galing dami ko natutunan khit nanonood lang ako pati ako napapayuko haha. by the way galing mo coach same kame ng bike kakabili ko lang din sana kayanin lahat ng ahon..
Coach, wanna ask you something? If you use the biggest front cog and biggest rear cog, does it mean it is cross chaining and should be avoided at all cost?
Generations of cyclists have known that cross-chaining is A Bad Thing. It's one of those rules you get taught very early on. Ride with the chain on the BIG chainring (on the chainset, the component your pedals are attached to) and the BIGGEST sprocket on the cassette (the cluster of cogs attached to the hub of the rear wheel) - and anyone you're riding with is likely to alert you to the fact in seconds. People love to point it out. Amongst mechanics we called big-big the 'pro gear’, because professionals would ride it all the time, no matter what their mechanics told them. The same applies to pro road racers. They'll stay on the big ring as long as possible. There are very good reasons to stay on the big chainring, even as far as the big sprocket: • Chain management on rough terrain. • Access to tallest gears without have to shift in front. • Front shifts are slower than rear and much harder on the chain. So we would encourage readers to ride big-big if they like, as long as they don’t experience chain rasp on the front derailleur cage. MODERN drivetrains, specifically the Yaw front derailleurs, are designed to accommodate this. Very little efficiency is lost when cross-chaining. And in the case of big-big, minuscule efficiencies lost to cross-chaining are offset by efficiency gained because of larger bend radii for the chain. Better chain management and easier access to tall gears certainly outweigh any efficiency loss. A few words on efficiency measurements. There are enormous differences between the efficiency measured on a loaded drivetrain and an unloaded drivetrain (what your hand feels when spinning the crank on a bike in a workstand). The sluggishness that cross chaining sometimes appears to cause on a bike in the stand disappears when the drivetrain is under load. It’s analogous to lubes in loaded and unloaded mechanical systems. Light oil generally feels better than heavy grease when a system is worked by hand, but when the system is loaded the heavier lube will be more efficient. Similarly, cross-chaining is not a concern for premature component wear unless of course your chain is wearing through your front derailleur. In the last decade cross-chaining has become increasingly common with many people running the chain in the big chainring and big sprocket, especially with the advent of electronics which is much more permissive regarding cross-chaining. This means that today's chains are subjected to much higher stresses than in the past. That’s why modern GROUPSET manufacturers decided to invest in the development of much stronger chains. We hope this explanation will be included in your local discussion.
Good question, I’ve never had the chance to look closely on these two bikes. Somehow what i can notice is the sizing templates. I can’t personally make an opinion as i have not ridden them long term to make a conclusion
@@CruzControlPH noted coach. i think the pro that you bike fit before is a carbon type while the siluro is an lloy frame with carbon fork though java has all carbon bike as well that can compete with twitter...is the uci stamp a good bench mark in choosing which bike to buy?
Coach question here, im 5'7 planning to buy a size 50 or 49 roadbike so is standing sprint not a problem with these frame size, im worried i might hit the bars i assume, thanks
If it hits, you can now play with your stem length and height just so that your knee barely touches you bat even when your foot/ankle is flexed extremely forward (like a tiptoe)
Hi Sir Cruz, thanks for the videos..ive been watching your vlogs and i became more interested in cycling. I was planning to get my 1st road bike as well. Can you help me decide for what frame size and measurements should i take. I am 5'7 in height and i want to buy Java Siluro 3 also. Thanks in advance.
If you have access to Facebook, check this link. But jump to Time Stamp 4mins 40 sec for the climb. I hope this helps. It purely visual entertainment not coaching facebook.com/groups/TRIphilippines/permalink/1833541163499474/
I think he is referring to the manufacturer's size 50. With modern bike sizing a 50cm frame may not have one tube that measures 50cm long. It's really confusing 😕.
im 5'4 and my java s3 is.size 50 nahihirpan ako iakyat o.iaahon sxa sbi kailngan daw i shorter ang stem para maabot ko yung preno and then pa bike fit daw para mkita panu ko i bike ang size 50
Hi Coach Leian Cruz, i am a subscriber of your great channel Cruz Control. Does a person who wants a do a bike fit or bio mechanics need to bring along their bikes. I am very interested in your bike fitting and bio mechanics on newbies, beginners and some riders who wants to improve their ride on MTB and road bike. I am from Singapore. I have also shared your videos with friends who are riding road bikes. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
You can have a biomechanics session before even purchasing a bike. This will save you from unnecessary changes and upgrades. Usually clients book for a program and we have bikes that we can use to optimize you bikefit and biomechanics
@@CruzControlPH Thanks coach, really appreciate your response, now I know I'm using the ideal frame size for my height, I'm 5'6 and I'm riding an RB with a 50cm top tube frame, tried to replace my 100mm stem to 80mm, so far it solved my lower back pain problem and of course I also tried to replicate and carefully observe what I've seen from your bike fit and biomechanics videos, especially in terms of riding posture, may not have perfected it but so far it helped improve my riding speed and comfort. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank you so much coach.
To be honest this is not a budget bike for me. This is expensive for me. 😅 Ano kaya masasabi ni coach sa bike ko na mas mura pa kesa sa Java Siluro 3? "Super budget road bike." Currently using Sunpeed Triton. 😁
Lalo n yung bike ko 4,500 lang ang bili ko bakal bike, mtb, naiaakyat ko naman ng tagaytay, di nga lang kasing bilis ng mga bike n may maayos n group set kasi 7 speed lang sya at 14 teeth lang pinakamaliit n cogs nya
He experiences chronic stress on the hands, palms, upper back, neck, restricted line of sight that pose danger in open traffic roads where attention is very very life saving, lower back pain. His torso length is not fit for the “Length” of the entire system - meaning the length of the top tube and stem that determines if you can reach the brake hoods. If you cannot reach the hoods, this will limit your ability to do various postures and this limit your improvement
