Anywhere got sell decent chain tool? How much? Thinking mau get chain tool and cassette remover.

How much is a new 2.5 kenda nevegal? Thinking of selling mine and get smaller tyres. 2.3 for front and 2.1 for back maybe? Reason is i 60% road 40% off road. So 2.5 resistance too much  sad.gif

2.5 looks too big for road use  rclxub.gif

Holysheeeet! That pair of donuts are HUGE! Like DH kinda huge! Try Maxxis Minions at 2.35. Lesser rolling resistance and about the same grip if not better.

I like the irony of using a Specialized wheelset on a SC bike with a GIANT seatpost. Heck, you're just short of Bontranger to make up all the big names on your bike! thumbup.gif

BTW, that handlebar is a recipe for disaster if you ever fell. Do plug it up. sweat.gif

Can you recommend  any brand or model which perform well? Multitool also can
As you mentioned  you plan for wider tyre for the front wheel.
If let say I have  two tyre with different width , what are the criteria to consider  to fit either wide or narrower on front or back?

Nowadays, instead of keeping a chaintool I keep my handfon handy. Call the riding buddy who has it. LOL





QUOTE(Proclaimer @ Nov 16 2011, 04:44 PM)
I read that nevegal seems to wear out faster due to soft rubber?
I see. SB8 seems to get mixed reviews, some say good some say bad. Anyone tried it personally?
Huge right  sweat.gif Thats why its overkill for me to use on road. Haha, its damn comfortable though. Just damn noisy and heavy on the road.

Haha. No budget to get better seatpost and saddle so settle for giant lah. Even got kona stem on it  laugh.gif Well got the whole bike, cant complain much since its cheap. Im like a moving billboard, advertising all brands.  tongue.gif

Thinking of cutting the bar from 750mm to 670mm where im more comfortable but not sure yet. So no plugs yet, hehe.
Wanting to get 2.3/2.1 front back, will it be okay?


Added on November 16, 2011, 4:46 pm

Front tire dont necessary have to be wider but its entirely up to you. My reason for wider front tires is that more traction going downhill or cornering.

Rojak is sedap wooo. 6k for whole bike. Nothing to complain la even if rojak pon.  blush.gif

Weh, dont kutuk my pedals ok! served me for over 15 years XD Reason i used the old pedals cause the seller forgot to send me the pedals with the bike.

I'm riding a 'hands me down' SB8 2.1. Ok ok lo... But I ride damn slow. If you're a ripper, that might not be suitable for you.

I mostly plan to do roads and PCP but its so troublesome to change tyre just for road and off road. Plus i cant afford an extra pair of wheelset  cry.gif

Well, like Mike said... It will give you a good training to prepare yourself when riding road with your bigfoot tires rclxms.gif

Depending on how wide is your rims' internal width, if it's narrow type the tire will tend to fold under pressure/pinch flat. Even if that two doesn't happen, the tire will feel wobbly/sketchy due to too round of a profile. This is especially true for PCP red/black trails. I have to run more air pressure in PCP comparing to other places to avoid pinch-flatting.

I kena big time a few months back when exiting the wallride at the black trail. One second I thought I was pinning it, the next I was spinning on the floor with the bike... LOL

Nevegals has the tendency to pinch-flat/burp/fold under pressure more compared to Maxxis Minions from what I can tell.

High Roller/Minions are DH/FR/AM threads while Xmark is XC. I've used Xmark before, it's surprisingly grippy for the kinda threads. But cepat botak oh...

Wow... Awesome wheel design! Sebijik macam EASTON wheelset! Need to pay copyright?


Added on November 17, 2011, 9:34 amSeriously, how can this bike even comparable with the FUJI+Deore grouppo?!

The FUJI is much better IMHO. Provided it's well taken care of, since it's used.

The nexus is running on Suntour crank. I got a friend who run it for like less than 5 time and the BB jammed... LOL

It's a freakin 8spd! Deore is 9.

Tektro brakes... Surely it will give you some adrenalin rush.

At the end of the day. It's you who is riding. Some peeps are so strong, they're riding damn fast on their 7spd...

Saw that too. Probably he put the helmet halfway on his head then took it off. Considered use less than one time?  laugh.gif

But but but... That would be 'used once', since the action of putting on the helmet that one time, is considered as used 1 time, yes? hmm.gif

Besides from dividing with zero, the only logic explanation would be, the seller thought of putting on that helmet, but before he did, he got second thought about it and put it back into the box... But then, that would be considered as new! Since never wear before mah! sweat.gif

Me brain overload liow... rclxub.gif

No actual experience with a 29er, but it pique my interest enough for me to do some research on it. From what I read, between the 29er and a 26er, there should be 2T difference in the cassette. In order to get the correct gearing or to be precise, mimic the gearing of a 26er 11-34T cassette, a 29er should use the Shimano Deore Cassette 9 Speed HG61 (12-36T). A 34T gearing on a 29er will feels like a 32T on a 26er.
