17March2014 - BTH

Prior on going home, I passed-by to a co-TSP's house, but it's closed. It's unusual that at that earlier day of the week, there's no one in sight...

So I just opted to take a spin around Mapayapa Village area then to Regalado Avenue via Republic Avenue before heading home.

The route I took;

And my first time to go and eat on this place that what my co-TSPeeps are calling, "Mental"...

One of the meals that is classic to my fellow co-TSPeeps, "baconsilog";

The "leaf" and the "bird" (Moi's Dahon Metro and Edward's Peugeot Birdy);

Project Neos 2.0

This Neos 2.0 RD (rear derailleur) has been with me for quite some time since I begged (Trans: "Arbor") for it from a friend and a co-biker/co-TSP, Edward P. Santos.

Being bugged (and having almost always doing RD tuning) with the "stock" RD on my KorEnda (Enda Leo 16" folding bike) since I acquired it sometime November last year, I decided that I really need to make provisions as my Enda Leo doesn't have "drop-out" to install this or any other after-market RD.

So last Saturday (February 22), prior on my (our) ride, I passed-by to some machine shops along "Killer Highway" (Commonwealth Avenue) and look for a shop who can do the provisions I need. After dropping-by for two (2) shops, alas there's a shop who had the "special" threading bit whose diameter is almost exact with the mounting bolt of the said RD.

I was able to fix/install it the next day as I am too tired when I went home after our ride. So here goes the result;

Hopefully it holds true what it says that it's actuation is 1:1. Same with SRAM. Let's see...
