QUOTE(radmaszeal @ Dec 7 2009, 07:23 PM) to most other ppl, to be able to ride faster with more confidence, tackle obstacles that u previously had to dismount and push the bike through, is what brings most satisfaction. to know your ride and handling skills, and not take unnecessary risks. maybe u havent had the satisfaction of going through this, so u overcompensate by changing parts in the belief that it would make you a better rider? sure, changing bikes makes a difference, but improving on the rider's abilities come first. besides, ask any ''proper" cyclist, they would say ride first, improve skills/stamina/strength (depending on which route ur going, DH/AM/Trail/XC), then find parts that u know would help u go faster at whichever route ur going. i've been riding a lerun for half a year, joined many groups, and most of the riders with much more expensive bikes provided advice and tips on what to get for wherever i was riding, and they also respected me for riding what i had and not complaining. in the end, with the bike spending more time at the bikeshop than under ur ass might make u a faster rider, but not necessarily a better rider. but if u wanted to really lose weight, u need to do xc or road. more aerobic exercise compared to AM/DH. also improve fitness. become like hamster metabolism rate another thing, if join roadie group, confirm can lose weight. cos they dont wait for u. social weekend rides with lots of stopping isnt exactly the fastest way to lose weight. Good one. It's like how many stops you need to climb steroid, and it's getting lesser.

QUOTE(kuzgo @ Dec 7 2009, 07:27 PM) haha. doing AM is more tiring, but maybe u cant do as much distance and work up aerobic fitness. like long distance runners, breathing technique and aerobic fitness like crazy, almost no fat on their body. AM is more like weightlifting, u gain muscle mass, but u might not lose the fat u already have. and u might eat more too QUOTE(huh? @ Dec 7 2009, 07:29 PM) dude.. dont get me wrong here.. im not saying that that frame needs MORE travel.. it needs a LINEAR DAMPER and SPRINGS..well, im not a fan of air sprung anyway.. too fragile IMO... yeah. suspension technology is highly dependant on the type of riding is done. for xc, maybe need small bump compliancy to reduce vibrations while racing, but then hit a big obstacle straightaway bottom out |

QUOTE(chamelion @ Dec 7 2009, 02:44 PM) Reviews online can be less accurate (for yourself) especially when the reviewers are people are from other countries (western blokes may be bigger in size and more demanding than us). I believe, there is NO "Best Bike in the world". It all depends on whether it works best for you or not. Just my dua cents... |
