i went to specialized just now... got some cool 29ers bike yoo.. range from 3k - 4k but not stumpjumper

Hmmm, u keen of 29er? Doesn't seems to pick up trend as heavier, harder to maneuver n harder to accelerate?
Those very few 26 models no L size, n components offerered is sort of much lower range.
It means room for upgrade for those could afford, just not me

this morning went to Treknology... waaaa.. far drive eh.
Yeah, their 6000 series caught my eye, especially the 6500, 6700 and 6900.

i would say 6700's components offered is at par with Scale 40- just bit pricey for a few hundred. Is the frame quality and perhaps brand perception worth those Rm 800 different?

hi, am torn between choices again. me sound like attention whore but really need some advice dearly.

am stuck w choices again.

Trek Fuel EX6
Rojak gear set (Sram9 speed casset, 5 series crank, deore shifter)
Deal breaker [-ve] is the none tapered frame head and RS Recon Gold Front fork

Trek Fuel EX7
Less Rojak gear set (Sram7 shifters, Sram PG 1050 10 speed casset, SRAM 100 crank)
Tapered heat and FOX32 RL front fork
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «



EX7 cost Rm 800 more, i would thought simply the fork would worth it.
However, isn't the black gold color scheme a bit rclxub.gif




*wink.... dunno why suddenly change my mind to FS. initially was wanted an average HT.
Better i decide fast else will be moving to 5 digits soon.
=D

Yeah, buy liao. But put my order on hold (50% refund+50% credit if cancel)

Was seriously considering to downgrade to Spark 50.
Save the 2k to upgrade or wat ever. Nice color too.

Is How is Recon Gold? bad?
Also DTSwiss rear shox.... isn't it sufficient for novice rider like me?

Had my maiden offload ride at RRI today, only 6km short rode as my fitness level is darn poor.

The sour muscle thingy (lactate threshold) is the biggest issue. Also had some cramp at my hip at end of the ride. I think my seat post is too low......

Is it true tat the leg at the lowest pedal point would need to be straight? A bit tip toe?

Not only leg cramp, going down hill finger also cramp as pressing brake too much sad.gif
Really no much confident in running down hill too much, seems am too far from the ground.

Okie.... Going ride taman now.

XT drive-train without brakes edi 1.6-1.8k with brakes another RM700++
you think can get a good bike with that budget?

get a good bike frame and fork.. lower end component is fine.

4.8k can get a good giant XTC hardtail... go shop around shop for the best deal.
*
If my memory don't fail me, 4.8k can get the cube w XT set at sunway mentari, else fork out another 1 k, you may get Giant XTC0 w RS.

Btw. Interesting post for the seat post. I tried to raise the seat further so less strain to my tight, but really but my body so high up from the ground. Don feel secure when descenting.
