these ones leh?



this kaler is nice...


just my two cents.when considering wheelsets,you need to check if they suit your riding style as some wheelsets have limits. they will last much longer if they are taken care in this aspect. less maintenance as well. i would go for the fulcrum.you can check with sen aik on F5 as well. i saw a conversation in BBS that said there are some crossrides in our market that are made in romania or hungary.probably those would be better quality.

i had the same magic shine as Ray but mine kaput.guess i am unlucky. but luckily under warranty lar...

Custom wheel is better due to spoke replacement.

I'm a FM5 user. Fm5 is rated for xc & am as per their user manual. Not sure bout the cross rides, but from what I heard, it's more towards xc? Also u gotta consider the parts availability, from what I heard from a bike shop, although FM5 is using the aerospokes, it's replaceable with normal spokes. U gotta double checkmwith the sop ur buying to confirm though. Hub noise wise, it's super quiet until u run it in, then it's pretty sweet sounding.

RayKazansky, RM550 sound good. SenAik quote RM600

anyway RM5 or crossride fit my budget ler. i tried to get used wheelset but unknown condition keep haunt me yet only a little cheaper. honestly speaking every time i called up.. sold edi.

snapshots,
I'm more of an XC guy who rides in frim and once a while kiara (consider XC or AM?). so i guess the choice i made are near base on what i read. honestly i dont know whole lot about which wheel are suitable. dont get to try. can only read and ask around you friendly peoples

for custom built wheelset, any suggestion? and how much would a decent one roughly cost? where to get quote reasonably?


RayKazansky,
how long have u use magicshine? i tot they suppose rated high mode 2 hour+. anyway where and how much you got urs?

Snapshots,
problem with the head or battery pack?
where and how much you got urs? warrantied a new one already?

Fyi, i'm toying with friend's bikerayII from hk. very bright. looks bout the same brightness with magicshine.

Added on January 19, 2011, 10:10 pmhmn, how much do i need to concern about spoke changing? easy to get spoiled? those spoke do easily get right since they selling the wheels here.
changing normal/other spokes will not look good but might also have reliability issue? i notice the RM5 spoke are slightly different than normal one. they are 2:1 ratio and should be made stronger to offset the lesser spoke count.

i dont really care bout the hub sound la. but i guess with that budget range i cant complaint much. so long i dont break any bones from riding it.

anyway, how ur experience with it. live up to ur abuse?

Well, the spokes are doing well, it's just for the 'oh sh!t moments on long rides where the LBS doesn't have those on hand kinda thing. Well, I heard Shimano's wheel set is selling well and quite established but then still hard to find spoke replacement? That's what I heard from friends oni lar... Best is to ask around amongst your friends and LBS.

I'm no expert and I'm not hardcore like the otai's here, but for me, it's been holding up very well. Kiara, PCP, FRIM, etc.

Another point to note, Crossride is 1900g and the FM5 is 1801g. A saving of 100g rotating mass.

Dunno man, after jamboree, the capacity still more than 50%.

Most of us bought from here:-
DX

i think i be there around 8. :-D

Wind screen pecah... no ride .. I has sadz...

ape pasai?
someone broke in?

aiseh. overslept.. damn.. haha.

Today very unlucky. Early morning, I drove to kiara... I took the wrong turn heading to KLIA instead. Then, after realizing, I made a turn back to kiara until reached Devi's corner. And realized I forgot my helmet! So, he I am... Playing computer without my ride!


By the way, I think my RD is going to give way soon
