Hi guys, Me and my gf wanted to get a bike for normal riding and some outings. Need some recommendations. Went to a bike shop in Putri Puchong and saw a Raleigh MTB, and the sales person recommended the Jamis X3 (which is around RM1500) Some info here: We have not tried any extreme mountain biking before, so I don't think we will do those extreme jump or cross jungle ride. We normally just ride around out house area and would want to start doing more biking in parks for sight seeing. Please advise on some shops nearby Puchong area, price and models  Thanks in advance! |

QUOTE(timothyy @ Jan 20 2011, 10:01 PM) You are right on. I banged my bike onto my garage again this evening! Arrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Read page 1 will help u out... especially you... Hi! Thanks for the pointers! Read it through last night, and i have a question, what is the Fork used for Jamis X3? Found this info in Jamis' website: "Fork - RST Gila, MCU/coil spring with external preload, 28.6mm stanchions, 100mm travel" So does it means it's using Rockshox Tora "RST" Gila?? Thanks |

QUOTE(dickybird @ Jan 21 2011, 10:22 AM) i still have my 2001 jamis durango sport and she rides fine! they are company that puts the money in the frame so you can spend the rest on upgrades. while the durango has been superceeded by an Anthem for trail duties it still does sterling work, commuting and rolling down to the shops for milk. so yes, go for it! Hey, Thanks for the input. Will go and check out another shop for price before getting it  So what are the expected things when buying a bike? What kind of things you guys will ask for when you buy a bike? Like the bike stand or locks?? Cheers |

Sifus!
Can I know what are the difference with DH, XC, and other terms?
I know DH is Down Hill, means like you ride from high to low right?
How about XC? is it Cross Country? how does it work?
Paiseh!

Only know that you injured from those posts in this forum (that I'm recently mocking) Why not start with some light exercises first? Do some Walking/Swimming and some squads. That would help one. |
