28.8Mph

I answer for Stimix... he was going 50kmph on tarmac (I believe that was his personal best) downhill with one hand when he crashed.

When i was doing the DH, i was like

"rock, rock, root, gap, rock, darn i need anthem, rock, gap, gap, darn in need anthem, rock, root..."

one hand at 50kmh? reaching for 100 plus bottle maybe. hehe. hope he recover well-)

one handed? what was his other hand doing?

the issue with going fast isnt exactly the speed, its the body position.

going downhill at 30km/h is much scarier than 30km/h on flat since ur body position is more forward, and braking or turning handlebar too much can cause and endo, while on flat there is abit more lee way for braking and steering b4 u can endo.

so i guess my advice is: if wanna go fast go on flat, not on downhill.

go DH get trail or AM bike loh. anthem xc mah

tried once.... close to 70km/h on a long descend tar road

ops.... i was referrring to 2009 model.

The other hand is checking his wallet.

Speaking about downhill.. my max dh speeds are only ~60kmph.. it's scary going head first on a light bike.

Anthem should better then my HT lor...
For me a nub, it's impossible to get faster cause need to brake or position body to control the rear tire to avoid over/under steer or endo while try to navigate.

damn!
u people are fast on and off the road!
giler la!
how on earth can i join u ppl in kiara or anywhere for that matter?
even slight downhill i keep braking!

takot wooooo...

dun worry, we can help u train. especially body positioning and braking. all up to u only

b4 join them in kiara come kdcf i give u secret 1 to 1 training

btw its much more satisfying to overtake ppl on flats than downhill. i noticed that i can accelerate in gear and go at (what i think is) high cadence. problem is i get left behind on the climbs

i think most are using stock but good stock

Sometime if you are not 100% sure, it's better to get build one since you wont need to mess with geometry issues.

So far i think most reputable brand have quit ok combo. I would say scott have the best combo follow by Giant n trek.

But most of times it's sales person whom layan you that actually make the real dif.

Don't worry... my fastest clock also 30+ on my merida... on tar. And I usually go slow. Scared crash tree...
This Sunday join us?
I kawan u.

U stop, I stop... u ride I ride...
U jump, I see...



Wanna upgrade to Merida Matts 40D? I am letting go my bike.

if that overbudget i have 1 Merida 5D too collecting dust that i wan to let go.

saw a new localised magazine called Cycling Asia for rm 15. got a bit more to read for your money lo. but its just like a localised version of mb uk or cycling uk.
custom bikes actually mean the frame is tailor made just for. sweet but v expensive!
i think you mean custom assembled bikes where all the parts are selected by the owner and then put on the frame that you bought off the reack at the lbs.
it isnt really custom coz you end up putting on pretty much the same zoot parts as everybody else.

talking about hte mag, i was piss off with the rm15 spend when i bought the mag 1st time.

70% article is cut n paste from WMB and MBUK. I was like WTF the only education session is the lbs index in end pg.

Definitely NOT going to buy it anymore.

If that's the case.
Just change your tires to Kenda Nevegal XCs and you won't have mud sticking onto your tire.
Hence, the mud that's stuck on your tire won't go onto your brake pads, saving your money to upgrade to disc brakes...

What's the difference if it's hijacked from factory aside from warranty?

Tarmac (Downhill) according to cyclometer with 26" (2124 cm wheel circumference) = 69 km/h (semi-slicks).
I removed all the reflectors on the bike, removed the bottle cage, pumped the tires full (hardest) for easier pick up.
Did it downhill at Jalan Ara while I was chasing a Land Rover Freelander with my friend who was riding a Canondale.

Tarmac (Downhill) according to spoilt-cyclometer (water entered the contacts) with 26" (2124 cm wheel circumference) = 225.7km/h (semi-slicks).
