kiara is not for the faint hearted...i have been goin there non stop for 5 months and still struggling with some of the trails which have steep descent with switchback..balance is key and get your butt off the seat and push down on your pedals at level for traction and balance..move your body front, aft and sideways..stay off your brakes at all times..watch where you are going at least 10 to 30 feet away..and lastly keep riding kiara like there's no tomorrow..dont expect to conquer Kiara by just riding FRIM or other trails..it doesnt work that way..you need to master the technicalities of the kiara trail to enjoy riding there..if not just stick to normal xc at less challenging trails and get youself some body armour including fullface helmet if you do not wish to rearrange your face...besides ther's no novice trail in Kiara..enjoy the Land of Kiara while it is still there......

Just hit the Kiara Trails today!

Definately climbed up "Snake & Ladders". Down "Dirty Deeds" (is that right?). Down "Longer Short". And from there, somehow ended on the horse trails which was crap.. Literary full of crap and stagnant water. Was damn afraid that those water were horse piss!

Did not manage to kill myself this round there! Great time flying down "Dirty Deeds" (around switch backs and beams). rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif Looks like my NRS managed to get me out alive!

Dvng speaks the truth, dunno how long before some developer pays off somebody from putrajaya or kl and bulldozes the place for high end condos etc. just like they are going to do to what remains of sg buloh. thanks for the advice, been thinking about how i could improve...
and then i found out i bent the rear shifter cable adjuster just as it comes out of the shifter. cry.gif i sure hope it can be put back in.

and why did meow change his mind from a 'heckler' to stumpy with only 120mm travel..if i can do it again.. i would have gone for either the Heckler 150mm or Bullit 160mm travel, Yeti ASX 160mm travel or SX Trail II 170 mm travel..i found out the hard way...the stumpy just seems to have stuck in between..but purely xc only..and little or no jumping and dropping at all.....sigh...i will keep the stumpy in xc race spec only...freeriding is out of the question..


p/s meow, the stumpy can only take a maximum 120mm travel fork only...unlike the 07 model which can go up to 140mm..

the sx trail II is the same price as the stumpy pro 08..or more..but the build up will cost more.. a Fox Vanilla 36 Van or Marzocchi 66 is gonna cost RM2.8k and above..i reckon RM14k fully build up..
