    I had a near death experience riding my road bike on a flyover in Kolkata. Literally there was a huge gap in between the metal clamps and I almost came under an automobile. It’s been more than a year since that incident, and I still haven’t rode my bike since then, because of the trauma.

    • @Tathagatchat
      @Tathagatchat Před 3 lety +1

      Technically it is illegal to climb flyovers in Kolkata on bikes, especially Maa flyover is risky if you are not careful on "tram-line" type metal clamps put in there. I also wouldn't censure anyone riding on that since the road below was in a very poor condition..

      @@Tathagatchat Cycling on any major arterial roads in Kolkata is also illegal at before the lockdown. Most roads in Downtown Kolkata are either damaged and full of potholes of unmaintained tram lines in the North. For that matter, the flyover is closed until 0600 in the morning, until the police lifts the barricades. What is the point you're trying to make?

      @@Tathagatchat I am quite careful when riding a bike. I have been cycling since 12 years of age and I can tell you that cycling in India is simply not about being 'careful of the road' ahead. I have faced bullying by other commuters, handled punctures in the middle of nowhere because of garbage or sharp objects thrown at the side of the roads, on top of horrific traffic and congested roads leading to the highways. Switching to MTB is neither the solution. Why should a rider buy MTB if they are residing in the flat lands?

      Anyway get well soon and don't be scared to ride again. Start riding again with a slow pace and all the best. I know in future you can control your road bike in a very better manner in worse road too.

    Roads in all over India are same. Cities are crowded and motorists don't care about cyclists. Many times you will feel like just escaped coming under big lorry or crashed by cars. If you still able to avoid all this by riding in early morning potholes will try to kill you.
    I bought road bike few weeks back but can't feel safe on roads.
    Little better at early morning ride because of less traffic.
    One more thing as soon as people see cyaclist motorists will immediately start honking and irrititating cyclists.
    Very pathetic and bad road conditions for cycling due overcrowded roads and lacking discipline in vehicle riders.

    In the society where I live, the roads are cleaned, dark and paved. No potholes or bad cycling conditions and the roads normally don't stay wet for long after it rains as the roads are in slope shape and the water goes onto the sideways grass lawns of people. Cycling conditions are very good and not too much traffic as well so I'm planning to buy a road bike soon.

    Need a suggestion, I'm 173 Cm, planning to buy Btwin RC 520, Should I go for Size M or L?

    • @jojojosephjoseph5886
      @jojojosephjoseph5886 Před 3 lety +3

      You can go for M if you need more upright and easy position. Otherwise you may go for "L" if you need more aggressive position while riding the bike. If its the first time you will be buying a roadbike , go for size "M".

    Prince, I have a question. I have always liked roadbikes a lot more than mtbs. However, i am 6ft 4 inches and weight about 85-90 kilos. Would a decent quality roadbike (upwards of 60,000 rs- something with sora or tiagra) be able to handle my weight even if I ride over bad roads? For you its easy because you are very fit and light... You probably weigh 60 kilos or less so its not an issue for you. But would a roadie suit me?

      Get a hybrid like the trek DS2 or better yet a gravel bike. MTB is not necessary for these conditions. With a hybrid or gravel bike you will be able take on roads like these and still get some of the efficiency and the top end performance of road cycles.

      It doesn’t get frequently punctured although be careful of the terrain you ride on! I have rode it for 600+ km and not had a puncture yet!
      I have driven on worst of roads and even glass but luckily the tyres take the beating!
      The bike will take care of you, if you will take care of her. After every ride I check the rims, spokes, tyres and make sure I have properly inflated tyres; if you don’t maintain proper air pressure you are very likely to get punctured.
      In a nutshell: The bike is very good even on Indian Roads.

      Either your tire pressure is too low or you have some thorn stuck in the tire. On my Rockrider 520 i usually pump it up to 5 bars when riding on tarmac. Road bikers usually pump more... up to 9 for skinny road tires. And Park Tool has a very good instruction on dealing with different types of punctures and eliminating it's cause czcams.com/video/T0F_hibWHlU/video.html&ab_channel=ParkTool

    • @13ballom
      @13ballom Před 3 lety

      Punctures on roadbikes can happen due to one of the few reasons.
      1- pinch puncture. When the inner tube gets pinched between the rim and the bead of the tyre or rim and the face of the tyre you may get pinch punctures. Make sure your inner tube is seated properly before seating the bead of the tyre on the rims.
      2- incorrect air pressure- roadbike tyres are slimmer and are made of thinner rubber. This provides higher speed and lower rolling resistance at the cost of puncture protection. Hence air pressure is essential to making sure that you don't encounter punctures. Road tyres are meant to be pumped at high pressures, a rock- hard tyre will snap the thorn or bend the nail trying to puncture it instead of letting the thorn/nail dig in through the wall.
      3- foreign object stuck on the inner wall of the tyre. Whenever you fix a puncture, run your finger for any sharp objects that may have penetrated the tyre wall. If you encounter such an object, use tweezers or a pair of needle nose pliers to extract given object.
      4- unseated rim tape/ loose spoke- if a spoke is loose it may puncture the tyre from within. If you notice a loose/broken spoke, replace the spoke and true the wheel using a truing stand, if you don't know how to replace spoke and true the wheel then take it to a mechanic.
      If your rim tape isnt covering the spokes, the sharp ends of a spoke may dig into your inner tube. Use a screwdriver to lift up the tape gently and place it on the exposed spoke... If you are running a tubeless ready rim setup but are still using an inner tube, then remove tape and apply fresh rim tape.

    • @dpkmusik
      @dpkmusik Před 3 lety

      Try replacing the tube once.
      Some experts told these tubes are not repairable and same was my experience. I was also getting puncture every 2 days and after replacing the tube it got resolved.
