Meaning the seller polished off the paint and make it look like RAW-metal colour to make it cool? tongue.gif

I sense that the tubing is different than T-blaze. Hmm... strange. hmm.gif

I suggest you BB7... the best mechanical brake on earth. I'm using them... comes with 180mm rotors if not mistaken.

It's the brembo of Mechanical brakes. LOL brows.gif

Sorry man... i never like to bleed... so i stick to BB7. It works for my weight. biggrin.gif

Bro,

3 good bike shops for MTB, road in Kuching. Moh Tak, WG Cycle and Thong Sen cycle. These are the 3 most frequented by the cycling kakis in Kuching. Brands availability = Trek, Merida, Giant, Fuji are common or you can start with frames both ori and replicas. Can look them up or pm me for more details.

i think u have to go bike shop and ask. tbolt has weird tubing shape, and bike racks for SUVs do exist. saw one that is made to go over the spare tyre on BBS. but dunno if that can fit the tbolt.

oh wait, just checked the newer links. size 17" and 19"

17" maybe can still use. lol


carbon triangle can use for kiara singletrack and minor DH. just dont do 2 foot drops with it i guess.

nothing wrong with using it at frim. full carbon hardtails can frim, y cant half carbon?

just did kdcf. trail was dry, so my kenda SB8 didnt try to send me into any trees laugh.gif

went slow, focused on improving cornering and switchback technique rather than all out speed.

finally grasped the concept of how to take uphill and downhill switchbacks. laugh.gif not the same as leaning into the corner, which was what i was used to. which if done at slow (switchback) speeds, just makes u fall into the corner due to the lean. lol.
