I'm not sure, but aren't Raju running a bashring? If that's the case, the large chainring now is actually the middle chainring, which in turn, should be able to run all 9~10gears at the back without much issue right? On the granny ring, it's advisable to only run 3 largest cog to avoid cross chainline?

yeah, but middle when going larger ring at back, the chain will have some rub on the rubber, in between the higher and lower.

just now i set my magic link again, i keep pump pump the shock until hot and not smooth lol. I think i need vivid air. or probably change bike.

What about if your on the smallest cog? Does the roller still have space? If there is, maybe u need to fine tune the chainline with thinner crank spacers? That's if you're sure you got the right chainguide meant for 2 rings, not single chainrings?

Just now i set magic link, need pusing pusing the spring, then i pump pump, a large clunk sound. I see see bike macam ok ok jer.

Is it the spring didnt sit properly or i need a new bike? and no i'm not fat.

Based on the concept of coilovers, there should be some plastic washer between the spring and the seat to keep it from binding I think? hmm.gif

Hmmm, you set magic link? How did you set magic link?

The defination of freeriding is when you go FRIM, make an entry like a boss from the main gate without paying... Now that takes some serious balls.

Why is that for some people, they buy nice all-mountain hardtail with decent components but with road bike tires and ride on the road like a road bike? Anyone?

Ayam using the exact brakes. But dont know where to get new pair of brake pads, asked a few shops and some dont even know what is it. Has been using the same pads for more than 5 years. orang miskin  sad.gif

Currently those Trial riders still using hydro rim brakes. Damn powerful. For spareparts, I guess either online or try to mingle with some local trial riders, maybe they got kangtau? thumbup.gif

Well, you could always invert the stem so that it will be neg rise and maybe a flatter bar?

Like it or not, a bike and the way it's being setup plays an important role in the fun factor.

Riding a DH rig in RRI/FRIM is not fun and not advisable, unless you're into pain for nothing kicks.

Riding a XC race machine in Kiara/Bkt Ramlee/PCP would not yield as much fun as a proper trail/AM/FR bike.

So in other words... The RM4.5k is best spent in prepping up the room where you would store your fleet of bikes in the near future.

LOL... Joking nia.

Once you found what you really like, you'll be immune to poison. The problem is it takes a while, depending on your luck to get immune to poisons.
