sram x5 10 spd n shimano deore 10 spd...which 1 better??
n how u know which gear u on if d shifter dun hav indicator??

Took today off.
Official reason to HM: go to school to check standard 1 registration procedure.
Real reason (HM doesn't need to know) - to check on bikes

1st stop is Merida Ss2. A few good package are offer around 5K++. However din remember the details much as already decided not to take Merida frame.

Then move to bike pro near by. Scale 40 and scale 35 caught my attention as in the right price range. (5-6k).

Scale 35 is carbon frame w entry level components. Still decent w X7/x9! Avid 5s brek n RS Reba suspension. The only b**** is 20 speed!

Scale 40 on the other way is sort of their highest range aluminum HT??  All is fine except SLX shifter n cassette. Am thinking to folk out a few hunderd to upgrade to SLX.... Is this wise?
Lastly, the color is dull grey(not really big matter) n the frame welding ain't really top notch.

Also caught a glimpse of scale 20 but that's way above my budget.

Last stop, unintentionally reaches Keen to Cycle, (some activity in Sunway, kekekeke). Meet w Yoon, very friendly chap n share lot of info w me. There was a Fuji bike w full XT package, below 5k..... Very heavy though, 12++kg.

Now spez is out of my league, seems Scott is my best choice.

Any guide on the 20 speed on scale35? Just live w it or should consider upgrade ?
Or take scale 40 n replace the SLX?

Not sure if I am XT paranoid but there is big different n shifting between XT n SLX...
Hope sifus here can provide some enlightenment

wahhhh
u can be dietician and also tukang tilik!

haahahhahaa...
