it's ht, once you reach certain speed, you spend lots afford to control the over/under steer which limit the speed. a 2.55 tire will help alot as that will be ur suspension.

Yep.I'm using Continental Vertical(front tire) and Read Maxxis Larsen(Changing to Verticals to as it offers grip and traction).Will this be enough?It's 2.3 tire only

My friend who tarpau his bike from UK said that he put mud on his bike.
When he went to airport, he checked it in as "Oversized Luggage" in "Sporting Equipment".
When he arrived in KLIA, no problems whatsoever with tax but he had to pay overweight fee cause luggage + bike.

there is 30% tax if i am not wrong. it's better puchase a full bike, ride few round on mud and pack it back. if custom stop, tell them it's for tournament or holiday backpack bike.

need to balance the air pressure. too high is no grip, too low not enuf air volume to act as suspension.

Oops, I didn't realize that you're talking about just tarpau-ing the frame.

Good luck in your SPM!
I just realized that I haven't cycled with you before, it's a must after your exams are finished!

How come you suddenly change to such wide tires?
Doing DH on your replica-XC-bike? Please be careful.

Susah lah macam ni

Not Replica anymore.lol.Still replica but In Upgrade Progress.You know what I mean.I'm thinking of mutitask both XC and DH.If I'm able.

2010 XTC FR (FR just means frame btw) is ini macam.

Difference between 2010 and prior year XTC's.

New sizing: XS 14.5", S 16", M 18"
Sloping down tube so supposedly more bola clearance.
Head angle slightly slacker --> 70.5 vs 71
Top tube is 0.5cm longer for 16" compared with HeBe's 17"
Slightly shorter chainstay
Very aggressive hydro form. The main tubes sounded even thinner than scott scale's carbon tubes.
European graphics is nice but the taiwan graphics are rubbish.
Much lighter than the previous Team Embo's.
2008 XTC Team --> 1660grams
2009 XTC --> 1590grams
2010 XTC --> 1250grams supposedly.

OMG.Nice.Well,how much does it cost?And anyone know when is the Axon ELD will be sell widely?

That's what they say lar... actual fact won't know until someone actually weights it. My LBS only got complete bike.

Everything is thinner compared with 08 and 09

Anyway... if HeBe really cannot revive and jimat cost... target will be this color.
