not so sure where it is coz when i was going to meet him,i don't know where is his shop and the guy is kind enough to offer to fetch from Shah Alam stadium to his shop which is pretty far away sweat.gif

all i know is that the klang river is beside it i think lol...

not so sure on selection of tyres,but i remember seeing LOTS of tyres hanging on the wall lol...

if u got time u shud check out that place...

that place is good for newbis too as mr.goh is an old uncle who don't mind teaching ppl stuff...

and also coz it have a wide selection of bikes/parts lol...

btw,presta is also lighter than schrader,at a cost of strength...

so becarefull when ure pumping a presta with a handpump....

i've ruined a presta valve myself when pumping it lol..

tioga? it is light and quite gripped. and ur friends tire looks small. *sigh*

good. DH tubes got presta. sweet. and where did ya get it? how much?

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ May 28 2008, 01:00 AM)
i'm gonna get myself a set of Tioga Factory DH pretty soon lol...

2.5 front and 2.3 back kekeke...

but since tioga tires somehow naturally look bigger than normal,the 2.5 shud look more like a 2.7 lol...

my friend just bought a Maxxis Minnion DHF 2.5 and heres a side by side comparism with my bald tioga 2.3 sweat.gif

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


anyway, my front is using a Maxxis DH 2.5-2.7 tube and its a presta...

btw i'm still wondering why the DH tubes have such a short valve...

my front valve protruding just enough for me to screw the adapter on while the rear schrader protrudes so little i have to use a freakin shock pump with a screw-on head to pump it up -.-"
