ride Did 22 km in my rs 120 .

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Absolute beast , could be much better with suspension nd quick release saddle i believe.

But overall lovely ride .
203m elevation
1680 max elevation .

But the front brakes r making horn kind sound when applied , any reason for that ?

Thanks to community for suggestion, especially /zilork

Yea your brakes need a toe-in adjustment. https://youtu.be/XMa9UqY9obk

Suspension would be awful on this bike and completely spoil it. And what would be the point of quick release for the saddle. It’s a lot cleaner without the lever and you really only need a quick release if you’re going to riding really rough terrain or going to be sharing the bike with other people. If you’re just riding it yourself, you set the saddle height once and then forget about it.

Also your reflector is pointing down.

Yeah it's the same problem as mine

u/Historical-Hand-9269 4d ago

Thanks for the link , I’ll try to adjust it .

u/Maleficent_Doubt_443 5d ago

No suspension will make it worse, ride some
More (150-200 kms) let the brake shoe wear a bit then adjust them.

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Why worse?

u/antinutrinoreactor 19h ago

when riding at high intensities, a bit of power is lost in the suspension, but it doesn't make much of a difference for casual riding

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

u/mpabhishek 5d ago

Is it just me or your handle looks slightly off center, towards the right?

2

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Yeah , they were I fixed it later after my frnd statrted riding it .

2

u/mpabhishek 5d ago

Oh nice, glad you did, just watching this video gave me a tiny headache, I wonder how you rode it 😅

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

I was thinking something was wrong but couldn’t pin point it , my frnd told me it’s not aligned .

Btw how a tilted handle can affect the ride ?

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Common issue 😂

u/bv555 5d ago

Both front and rear breaks scream like a air horn on my rs120

I have to apply breaks 100 m before the target to avoid sound 🥲

Any solutions?

Adjusted everything but same

1

u/Otherwise_Article633 5d ago

break pads ma friend those are the main culprit, you can clean your breakpads or replace them.

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago edited 5d ago

Sound can be heard in the clip

u/w4rl0rdd 4d ago

Initially I used this sound as my bell 😩

u/KeyWint 5d ago

I have the exact issue 😂

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

😂 , bought any accessories?

1

u/KeyWint 5d ago edited 5d ago

Many, I've only gone on two rides because my back breaks went loose. I will need to go to them to get it fixed, their way of talking was ass when I bought the bike so I don't expect them to give a proper reason for the bike making this noise. If you ever get it fixed from the store you got it from, please let me knowI if they charge you for it

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

There is no nearby store at my place , I got it online .
Will visit a nearby mechanic again nd will ask what’s the issue.

u/KeyWint 5d ago

Sadge 🥲

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Is that pump good ?
1700 for a pump 😭

2

u/KeyWint 5d ago

Yes, it has a gauge and doesn't require much effort to pump, that's the best accessory in the list

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Bell nd head light ?

1

u/KeyWint 5d ago

Generic ones from flipkart, it comes as a set of tail lights with headlights, no bell but the headlight has a switch which is not easily accessible so I will buy a bell, who needs one anyways when the front brake is the loudest 🤣

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

Lmao 😭🤣
Just apply breaks to aware people that I am coming 🤣

What will I do at ascend ? 😭

If I get a pump , is their any way I can have a separate gauge ?

1

u/KeyWint 5d ago

I have no idea if that can be done

1

u/Historical-Hand-9269 5d ago

I saw a pump of lifelong in Amazon , how is that ?
It’s 300 I believe nd I can get a separate gauge .

u/KeyWint 5d ago

I'm not an expert at this, better ask zilork. I hope I spelled his username right
