Most frame is manufacture by either Giant or Merida. In fact merida started as frame factory, only recently they start to rebrand themself.

For sub rm2k bike, i think Giant Yukon Disk is ok too.

The math is double the price for every level

For HT,
Lvl1 = around RM 500 (those tesco, jusco bike)
Lvl2 = around RM 1100
Lvl3 = around RM 2000
Lvl4 = around RM 4000
Lvl5 = around RM 8000

Anything in between is matter of component but share same frame.

carbon is stronger the steel.

unless u use road bike post it should be ok.

only thing with carbon is it should be replace every 5-8 years depend on the epoxy. also you should not adjust ur high frequently as the movement scratch the epoxy layer.

If stronger than steel then why some people say don't use for DH type of cycling or seat post material?? blink.gif
Are you serious or being sarcastic?
If it (carbon fibre) is stronger than steel, why wanna change to aluminum?
*
DH need strong n rigid frame with good suspension for max stability. Carbon is strong n flexible.
Some more lighter frame(carbon) is a disadvantages in DH since the build momentum low.

Btw for XC as per pic, you guy follow the previous bike trail or create ur own trail? Cause if follow, the suction create between the "u" mark with tire will stall ur bike but if create new trail u need to "break" the mud. cycle via grass area n u-turn is no permitted laugh.gif

Also follow is also harder in steering n balancing cause the bike steering is held by the mud wall (i cant explain the feel but i think those whom tried know waht i mean).

I see, thanks for clarifying.
Regarding picture.
If have momentum should follow previous trail cause don't wanna mess up the area if it's free.
If it's paid for like FRIM, I ride whichever/whatever way I like. tongue.gif

u should protect the environment.. laugh.gif

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Nov 5 2009, 12:00 AM)
How come you'll lose momentum (bike gets stalled) when ride in previous trail? (Unless it's heavy/thick).
*
the mud wall and the tire wall friction will act like "disk brake". this is only applicable it is trail is deep enuf n the tire is wider the trail.

Not mention the steering is "heavy" thus u have lil control on the direction (balancing issue if ride slow, cant avoid obstacle if fast)

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Nov 5 2009, 12:00 AM)
Btw, may I know what's wrong with "breaking" the mud? Is it cause the mud is heavy/thick, so breaking it = Waste energy?
*
u have no really do XC laugh.gif wait till u need cycle through 3 inch of mud (ur shoe also stuck if walk sweat.gif ).. cause breaking mud, u just dont know how deep the mud.
