Today, I got the bike upgraded once more. This time, it's all about the wheel. It all started with the brake. Yeah, last time I bike to work, it's very heavy because the brake-pad was stroking the rim. The V-brake replacement didn't solve the problem because there were another problems. The tyres and rim was not good anymore. There were even cracks on the rim. So, since the problems have to be fixed, some replacement is taking place. New Kenda tyres with Araya rims are replacing the generic tyres and rim.
To match the previous 8speed-shifter upgrade, the sprocket also replaced. And... since the new sprocket can not go with the original hub, the hub also replaced with Shimano hub.
Even though all this upgrades really drains my account, it really worth it. My ride is much more easier and stable. Well, 'money doesn't lie', they said hahaha....
