QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Jan 9 2012, 08:50 AM) Egg beater is very the light! But Im interested to know about those using SPDs? I ve used SHimano...so wonder what its like for other brands ie egg beater, look etc.. ball will suffer if falling...  Added on January 9, 2012, 8:51 am You bring a bunch of CASH and put on their counter. They might entertain you, though. I ve used Shimano ...and I ve fell a few times already...so far it ll disengage when you fall dunno about others... |

QUOTE(tun @ Jan 9 2012, 10:50 AM) no more chirping sound today.lol I ve drove from KL-Muar, KL-Melaka and KL-Kuala Kangsar(2 bikes some more).. so far okyesterday night i spray some silicon spay in between QC and fork thr somewhere they collide,and today cycling without chirping will try few more ride and see oh ya . can be rear bike rack use for long journey like penang to ipoh ? I would advice you take out the wheels so there is less weight and pressure on the bike rack...better la ....make sure you tie it properly..if you have a bungee cord better... One bad thing about temporary bike racks are the markings...it ll leave marks on the car....anyone have any tips on how to prevent this? |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Jan 9 2012, 11:31 AM) The others don't simply disengage. I've used Look Quartz and Shimano. Shimano easier to disengage. Try putting a bit of lubricant on the springs, it helps in disengaging. Actually I ve got no complaints on my Shimano...so far so good...one advantage is you can control the tension ...so that helps a lot to disengage...but too loose also not good...hard to clip inQUOTE(chamelion @ Jan 9 2012, 11:36 AM) Cb wont disengange... /truestory Yikes.....QUOTE(chamelion @ Jan 9 2012, 11:42 AM) Change car... HAhah...yeah right QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Jan 9 2012, 11:44 AM) Try to lapik it with old tubes. Cut old tubes into small sizes. I ve used that on the hooks...but its the foam that mounts to the car that leaves marks...they say its best to clean the car surface first before mounting...and better to not leave the rack on the car on hot sun ... |

QUOTE(xandman @ Jan 9 2012, 01:24 PM) ive not used shimano... YEah...one thing when its really muddy it ll be tough to engage ...they say its better to start with Shimano...if you re used to it then can try others ...but after seeing u riding them during the first kampung ride... they're a b**** when muddy... so far ive tried CB Candy...but on road only... and it will actually disengage very fast before falling...given that ur reflexes are as fast... ive never fell while using clipless...touchwood... Also ive tried Time i-Clic....but this is for roadie la... i still prefer the Candy's feel... |

If use SB66 but you only go to 2K...wasteful la ...
You use an f1 car ...have to go to F1 track...not just be on it...drive like one too... Meaning you gotta hit the RPMs and go 200kmh (usually more) kinda speed... If not just get an Evo and modify2 heheheh... No doubt SB66 is a dream frame...but its quite heavy...I think only at Bkt Ramli theres transport to go uphill ...others all have to pedal up....if you dont mind pedaling a heavy bike but decending at speed...its the bike for you...if not...your Scott also not bad already  |

QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Jan 11 2012, 11:29 AM) I usually just dropped by until 630pm after work. My house is just 2km away.. Hahahah its ok ...no need to justify ....we all understand ....cause I think got a few of us like dat also hahah.... I ve seen those using carbon handle bars...so far they have no problem with it.... Seatpost ...hmmm I have some reservations ..I dont think it can take my big ass ... I ve seen a few Titanium seatpost  ...but cost more than twice  Well I wanna get a second seatpost and send my adjustable for repairs ...actually Im all for the adjustable seat post ...its fun plus it ll help minimize the possibility of the saddle bumping your ass during the gnarly descends ...

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 11 2012, 12:32 PM) in theory... carbon has no fatigue lifespan... so manufacturers can afford to give them a lifetime warranty although "lifetime" is a loosely used term.. it could mean lifetime as long as the model of frame is still produced and not your natural lifespan... Are you sure about this? I thought its the opposite ....most of the MTB Carbon frames have limited warranty....mostly up to 5 years ....only a few can give lifetime warranty ...in short... i think MTB makers can't afford to make flimsy frames due to how and what the frame has to go through... they won't know if a mad cow would take an XC frame to jump off a 5 foot cliff.. so they will just make every part beefier than they can afford so it can take a beating... this also makes the frame heavier but safer to ride. I think in terms of the frame strength there are limitations...which is why you ll see XC frames have a maximum travel it can take...if its a HT XC...the most itll go is 100mm....if you put in a 120mm fork (like yours truly  ) ...anything happen to the frame you cant claim warranty...Which is why trail HT such SC Cicak...are not XC light but very solid that it can take more travel than 100mm |
