Can someone pls tell is this a decent ride …

It has been a long-unfulfilled dream of mine to buy a bicycle, my goal is to improve my fitness, long rides, and go on city tours whenever I want. Since I am 6'2", I need a frame that fits me, and I would like to spend 10k–15k on my first bike.

What are your thoughts and experiences on this brand's bikes (mtb specifically)? Are they proper beginner MTBs? They are giving pretty good specs in the 50-70k range.

However I have never seen anyone outside india, particularly european and american creators or sellers promote or even review this brand, unlike Polygon.

And I've watched a lot of 'sub $1000 bike' videos.

Even the indian YTbers are divided. One fat cyclist who says he gives 'unbiased' reviews passionately promotes it whereas a certain 'MTB rider' advises against it.

Who to believe???

Hi everyone, I am stuck in a situation my riverside 120 is about 3 months old, when I ride it the seats tilts/inclines, I come back and tighten the nuts on both the sides of the seat. It happens everyday and is quite annoying. I took it to a local mechanic and he told to change the seat. The doubt is can it happen on a new cycle (~3 months).

This is my first cycle so I am a newbie to this stuff. What are possible solutions ?

What should i do correct all spokes or remove the wheel and insert again it take to bike shop ?

I visited decathlon to get some shorts and saw a RC120 previous model microshift one lying there looking brand new in the second life section. I inspected talked to a few friends and got it for 30k😁. It’s a good deal seeing the tyres are literally new as well. If not told can’t guess it’s a second life bike.

Maybe a stupid question but do I need to replace these tires because I see creases on them? It's a 6y/o bike. If not how long can they last?

currently I am using a cheap 150rs light from flipkart. now thinking of a upgrade.

Currently thinking of ordering shivexim 800 lumens light. Are there any better alternatives under the same budget

shivexim cycle light

I dont need a back light. Already have a decent light

Im new to this area. Was thinking of going to lalbagh for a while where I cycle till the entrance and then go for a walk or jog there.

Wanted to know how safe it is to park my bicycle outside

I have been trying to make it more straight but again, this single speed won't make me do that, whenever I do straighten it more, the tyre gets tilted more to one side

My cycle - firefox axxis

The mechanic (from my local shop) said that my headset part have to be replaced otherwise it will break and can cost me so much so in fear I said to go ahead and change it.....

after a while he said that whole headset part must be replaced, he charged me 400 ish rs for that and said "look, your previous one has been sliced (as shown in pic)"

The new part is not sliced like in the pic

after the replacement now the handle is to some extent is stiff (not how it was before)

He also changed the rear axle since the thread of it was sliced

Any brands which are good

Is Cradiac a good brand?

I saw many amazing cycles of that brand but I also need it in non gears

Heard about Stryder TATA brand as well

Weather had been great recently for workouts. Started at 6:30 and stopped back at home itself.

Generally all my BRM friends prefer highways but I want to know why? As village roads are often shorter in distance, with less traffic and also calmer traffic

Although it might have rough patches but still is the trade worth it?

Yes I’m joining the club with Cradiac Concept x this festive season. Also, a big thank you to this community for motivating me to make this choice.
