myaho2,
yeah..ur rite..HOPE hubs not many ppl bring in n sell here in klang valley..here, more on Shimano, Ringle, Chris King (hard to find), DT Swiss (not many too), Mavic (usually bundle with wheelset), Novatech and some taiwan hubs..those hubs u can see them on the display in klang valley..but not HOPE hubs...i haven't seen one yet so far...

anyway, u can look for Hope XC hubs (which i'm using) weights around 385g (rear) n 200g (front) or Hope Pro II hubs weights 280g (rear) n 190g (front). the Hope Pro II cost more la of course tongue.gif

forget about singapore for items you can get here..i'm sure bikepro and KSH has Hope hubs..its just that the shipment only come once in three months..therefore when it arrives dont wait, once it is sold you really have to wait..i was in singapore twice last months and i only items which you cant get here.. i bought a A2Z hubs, 36 engagements, it weighs 160g front and 200g Rear.. Specialized Deviant Fullface Helmet 900g only (not even carbon)..Shimano stuff (forget about it), RockShox Revelation Dual Air 100-130mm (malaysia dealer is not bringing in this fork). Chris King stuff is cheaper here...Specialized stuff have to get in Singapore..no dealer here..let you know on one thing..Specialized only take order for 10 nos or above for a single item..therefore you only get glove, water bottle, grips etc here..fast moving items..imagine to bring in helmets 10 nos for each item,,we dont have the market here and too many brands as well..lbs here only brings in stuff which are fast moving..thats why you only see Santa Cruz, Yeti, Scotts, Ellsworth, Titus, Haro, Intense, Turner etc.and some odd rare brands. So far i am the only person who rides a 08 Speshy Stumpjumper..the other three frame is still hanging in BikePro..

hey guys need a recommendation for xc saddle lah, my specialized BG comp gives me a burning sensation after riding for a while so have to keep shifting.
something not over rm 250 please?


Added on December 27, 2007, 4:24 pmwe know singaporeans need to buy a cert called COE before they can buy a car right? so do they need a COE before they buy a bike ah? hahaha maybe that is why their bike parts so mahal?

blown my front tube today lol...

well it was already waiting to blow coz theres a hole in it last time and i patched it up with electrical tape and today the hole got so big electrical tape can't do shit lol...

went to my LBS,got myself a Maxxis DH Tube rclxm9.gif

the tube is for 2.5-2.7 and its friggin huge while my tyre is a 2.3 lol...

now my front tyre is pumped damn soft and the tyre itself had changed its behaviour lol...

can't imagine that a simple change of tube can change the tyre's performance so mcuh sweat.gif

it soaks up bumps better than my front fork and the tyre looks slightly larger now lol...

looks like i won't be changing my front tyre for some time now lol...
