Have bought a L size Riverside 120. The elbows hurt when riding.

Realising that it is due to over extension.

Can it be upgraded to a swept back handle bar ?

Will adjusting the seat forward help ? I drive on rough roads and the seat has to be fixed firmly.

Thanks in advance.

Recently I placed an order for :

CRADIAC CONCEPT X 24 SPEED|GRAVEL|6061 ALLOY FRAME|700X45C|DUAL DISC|shimano gears 700C T (inch) Hybrid Cycle/City Bike (24 Gear, Blue, Rigid) @21600 INR

I inquired about the below upgrade (recommended by u/zilork in some post) of Decathlon RS120 from omo cycle

---

Rear derailleur: Shimano Acera M3020

Front derailleur: Shimano Altus M310

Crankset: 48-39-28T triple chainring

---

This upgraded RS120 is costing 18400 INR

Which one to choose?

My requirement is to explore various Indian states.

Please listen to the audio in the YT Video.

I bought my Riverside 120 almost a month ago. I've only ridden it for 6 days on random, and have been noticing this creaking sound from the front since day 3. I checked the wheels and they don't seem to hit brake pads or anything. It's very noticeable when riding slowly. I'm worried about it. Does anyone know what this is and what I should do? I still have the exchange/return window.

If someone else also faced the same issue please let me know if you found the issue or what to do now.

Final colors, and assembly in progress. This build exceeded our expectations in every way.

Hope you would like it too!

Pre-booking starts 31st.

I just moved from Australia to Mussoorie. It’s awesome here. Does anybody else ride here- I haven’t seen another cyclists in 3 months. If you do, where a good spot to ride?

I have a budget of ₹65,000. I would be travelling twice a week for more than 20 kilometres. Can you suggest to me which is the best out of the three of them, especially when it comes to durability, after sales services and availability of spare parts and further upgrades in the future?

I have no rash or aggressive usage but these are three I have come across. If you have any other better alternatives within the same price range, do let me know.

Thanks!

OP's suggest offroad cycling spots in mumbai

Looking for a cycle to keep me fit
Basically am a doctor preparing for entrance exam so my life will be sedentary for the next 1yr
Planned to hit gym thrice a week and try cycling as a hobby
My friend has decathlon vouchers which he is willing to give me at 75% so the net price of this cycle becomes 9k is this a good price to buy this cycle or can I find a better bike than this!
Right before someone suggests riverside 120 I don’t like the frame so that option is down
My budget was 7k stretched to 9k now
Thanks in adavnce 🫡🫂

Helo, I am New to fitness cycling, I know how to ride a basic cycle. I am weighing 120kg , height 5'11''. Kindly suggest me fitness cycle , i should go for road cycle or hybrid cycle , which brand is best for my body figure. Thanks in advance.

So this was my first send (https://www.reddit.com/r/Hardtailgang/s/sDtrZinxzE) that I have posted. Since then, I have practiced (although not diligently, I admit) and have gotten myself a proper MTB (https://www.reddit.com/r/Hardtailgang/s/udEW2IBiE2), and this is my first attempt at anything technical with it.

I request all to please review the footage and offer advice/guidance. All responses are greatly appreciated 🫶🏻

Built this little app to help me hunt segments and chase KOMs, and it actually worked - got my first-ever KOM!

Still improving it, but this makes the whole project worth it

Worst air in mornings in the city, but a man's gotta ride. At this point unsure if cycling outside in this high Aqi is giving me any health benefits , other than mental peace.

Hi guys my friend is selling me SLX m7000 shifter and RD 11spd for only 35$ and its too good of a price to pass up.and my own shifter and RD kinda cooked now it's always getting out of tune on rocky roads,it's giving me so much hassle. But my cassette and chain is only 10spd and it's new. I don't have a budget right now to buy a new one again. So i wanna know if it'll work with 11 spd rd and shifter on my 10spd cassette and chain. Thanks guys!

Hey guys, a few months ago I replaced my 90mm zoom stem with a budget 40mm one.

Since then my compression ring has broken thrice now in just 3 weeks. I have a neco headset and it has broken twice in the last 2 weeks.

Btw all the installation was done by a bike shop.

Even they can't figure out what's wrong. There is always some play no matter how much you tighten it.

You can see the stem setup and steerer-stem gap. When the 1st ring broke the stem was almost flush with steerer.

Then they added a 5mm spacer and still 2 rings have broken.

Please suggest me what could be wrong. Also is there any replacement ring I can buy? I found this on Cycling boutique I called, mailed and WhatsApp them but no response.

It was surprisingly easier than i thought, no cramps, no getting off on elevations to walk, just sheer fking willpower(i was telling myself that im dying im dying) but we prevailed. My longest ride prior was 30 kms

I am new to cycling. My goal is extended zone 2 cardio. I would usually run outside but with winters approaching in delhi (high AQI) need a budget zwift compatible trainer setup with bike. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Been getting these annoying calf cramps lately sometimes after a long day and sometimes randomly at night. I usually just stretch my leg and wait for it to settle, but it's honestly frustrating when it happens.

I came across a muscle relief product from a wellness r3set a while back and decided to give it a try. I have kept it around for days when my muscles feel tight after being active. Anyone else deal with this, especially after cycling? What do you usually do when your calves start cramping? Have you found anything that helps?

So I have a Polygon Xtrada 6, 2026 version. This is my NBD post.

I am 174cms tall, weigh 95kgs and I have set my fork (X Fusion Migo LO) to about 90 PSI. And when I pedal up an incline, while standing up on the pedals, I use about 55%-60% of the 120mm travel my fork has.

So is this too plush ? Any advice or tips on how to dial in an air fork ? This is my first bike with an air fork so I have no idea. I mainly ride on Gravel and XC trails.

Any and all responses are deeply appreciated 🫶🏻

Hi everyone, my cycle tire got scratched against a stone/curb. The upper black rubber is gone and the inner white threads are showing.

It is holding air right now. Is it safe to ride like this or do I need to buy a new tire?
