got some companies that offer discount on helmets when your helmet is broken in a certain time period. not about claiming warranty, but about retaining customers. i think road helmets a few brands have this policy (not in malaysia) cos a fall on the road will usually break the helmets.

dont forget different brands

if you want to get an FS and want to avoid the upgrade bug, your budget has to be at least RM12k.

for hardtails it would be rm7k (at least for me la)

diaphragm

lol. fanboys. if get top end shock i doubt you would be disappointed. got alot of highly rated forks from RS, DT Swiss, Fox, X fusion on bikeradar.


even got 1 rider very happy with his tora

admittedly i'm using a crappy fork, but i would get an RS 2nd hand since the 2nd hand value is cheaper than fox.

fulamak, forest of giant bikes!

u see tongyam only stim.

put the reflective strips on your brake levers.

singapore got FR track to use giant faith meh?

so tim can keep his bike and sell it after 15 years at very high price cos it was limited production, rare item.

what proper bar? commuting must use proper road bike handlebar.

ksh taman bahagia is a good start.

for rear cassette a typical range is 11-32 or 11-34. 10 speed 11-36

tbolt is actually an ok frame. carbon fibre, 3.5kg for such an old frame is decent.


it can do most things ok except for pedaling


and yes, i've used one before. never ever ever stand up and pedal on a tbolt. 1 time stand up it sucks up your life force

any1 doing road or xc rides this wednesday? considering joining fraser ride, but long time no ride, no stamina. wanna do xc also no stamina. wanna do kiara technical skills no more liao, only mastered endo skill only

i'm guessing the damping and rebound different. 831 is for DJ, so the rebound should be much slower. dunno lol

economics of scale. trek, scott and specialized produce much more bikes compared to boutique brands, and have more money for marketing. obscure brands dont have such a wide range, not all shops will bring in cos low quantity shipping not as cheap. thats y not many shops carry yeti, banshee, ibis, intense and other brands.

its a cycle: more volume+more products>more sales>more money>more marketing & r&d & sponsoring pros>more volume+more products>more sales.

thats y scott, specialized, merida, cannondale, giant and all mainstream brands every year each model is updated.

buy santa cruz chameleon ppl dont really care what year, only got 2 types, 1st gen and 2nd gen. 2nd gen got eccentric bottom bracket, can run single speed.

i used salomon trail running shoes for mtb, after 1 year the outsole disintegrated. feel like crying. b4 mtb the shoes lasted 5 years, damn durable. if i buy salomon i will use for trail running and posing, too expensive for mtb. hahaha
