QUOTE(RayKazansky @ Feb 9 2012, 06:25 PM) Dear Sifu, First give a nice bike wash , dirts and oil will contribute the the overall feel. Lubricate all the important parts like chain, Cassette, pedal, BB if require. If this still don't solve your problem. Jog more and come back cycle later. Still heavy? time to upgrade .Newbie here. Long time I didnt ride my bike and my bike feels heavier. What should I do? |

I'd go for blur lt as d bike for kiara. Can support 140-160mmActually a Yeti 575 is about RM500 cheaper than ASR5... But extra weight is a put off ...

Get Endomondo if wanna use on iPhone or Android-based phones.
If not, get Cateye is good dy. If you're confused with which model to get, ask yourself, what do you want to track with the thing. |
