Any sifu using full sus here,

Dude...you ll probably get a funny reply for asking this

is Scott spark 70 a good buy?
http://www.wheelies.co.uk/p49171/Scott-Spark-70-2012.aspx

The value is around $4.3K
*
Of course a lot of FS user here..but I assume you ve read the first page and know what you want...
Scott is a good bike try google to see some reviews of the model ...
Again you ll need to know where you like to ride and the type of riding you prefer ...

What we see: Pedal slipped, seat post too high, frame too small.
Actually: T-bolt is not for downhill
*
Hows the frame too small effect jumps..just wanna know aje..not that Ill be doing jumps anytime soon....
Does the bike's travel also play part? I mean if the jump is too crazy it ll probably bottom out the suspensions and not fully absorb the impact...leading the dude to slip and pop out of the cockpit...(i think the fellas cock also kena the impact)

By the way..if you look at the video...towards the end ...in true MTB spirit ...his friends were laughing at him hahah tongue.gif

hi bros n sifus,

did any1 here familiar with bike geometry?
I'm not very familiar with frame geometries, so I just attached pictures for reference.
(mine is size M)

[attachmentid=2548034]

I'd just like to ask if I could install a 120mm (or up to 140mm) travel fork on my bike.
would it effect my handling and cause crack to my frame?

i was thinking on getting either REBA RL or RECON GOLD RL.

is it a huge different in performance wise between solo and dual air?
*
If you care about warranties ...then you ll need to check if your HT frame can take 120mm...if not anything happen to it you ll wont be able to claim...

Having said that...I did that (quite sure its not covered) but it really benefit me going through some of the nasty trail sections

What frame are u using?

i think 2.5-3.5K can get very nice bikes from giant/specialized/merida/scott. dont forget you need to set aside at least 400 for helmet,tubes,gloves,pump,hydration.

giant- sen aik
scott - bikepro
specialized - concept store
merida- ss2 merida / heehong cycles

worth going to kedai basikal samy at batu caves to take a look as well.
*
Boardman bikes at Hee Heong also not bad...looking at the finishing is quite nice ...they also got Saracens ...
Xandmans 4.3K for a FS ...not bad man..definately a good price ...

Saracen is actually cheapo bike. That is how it is in uk, dont be fool...

Thay are like topman.
*
But the Saracen Zen and Ariel are getting good reviews lately...maybe the mags are biased towards UK bikes ...but dont take my word for it ...

At the end of the day...buy something that make you enjoy each ride ...be it a Tbolt or a Yeti

To enjoy you ll need to have good basics I guess ....no point buying a high end bike if you re gonna push it down the hill ...

i cant have a gd bike and getting another gd gd bike, it means "upgrading"
cant afford like u boss...

Enjoy riding and build on the basics first ...once you have the confidence and the ability...then its time to upgrade ...

At the end of the day ...its still Pedal to the metal/plastic/spd...
You have an expensive bike but you dont have strong legs and skills pun no point...

Well when you develop your capabilities of course you ll need better bikes...you use a bangla bike and take massive drop is a recipe for disaster ....

All am saying to newbies(like me) dont be disheartened if you cant afford expensip bikes ...still can ride

Like dat that day someone mentioned during Burung Hantu...a guy using a HT went down a steep DH...whereelse others pushed down...not bad wat

that HT could cost more than a few of our bikes combined....
*
Did I say HT cheap? hmm.gif ...of course there are some HT that are more expansive than some FS...if u use a Carbon or a Titanium HT of course its more expansive ...frame itself could cost 6K...

Usually entry level MTB are HT...
