Yesterday a guy from Jitra Kedah...took a bus and met me in Pudu...then took the next bus back to Kedah....just to buy my brakes ....
Im glad I sold him something in excellent condition ....I hope he likes it....respect la

I offered to post ...but he insisted he wanted to come...I thought he had something else ...but I later found out ..it was just to get the brakes ...

Guys,

Have you guys heard of Alligator components? They re mostly cables, and brake disc...are they any good?

Tomorrow I might ride with a friend of mine la ....probably just a short and easy ride ...I got to go off early....
To those going Kg...enjoy the ride!
Hopefully we can go there one of these days ...

Hihihi...I actually bought it already ...see la how....dang Shimanos were too expensive ...

So what disc are you using now?
Errr...what is WW?

Hope rotor sells in pairs or idividual?

Id rather get a Shimano than an Avid...same same ...heheh...
But problem is to get just one rotor alone ....
I dont need a pair...

Oh really? I always thought Hope brake components are on heavier side ...but powerful ...
Shimano? Well the only reason is because I want to match it to my brakes ...same same ...if I used Avid ...would prefer Avid disk ...that kinda thing la ...
Will certainly consider a Hope disc then ...

For now will live with the Aligator...after all its for the rear brake ...who uses rear brakes anyway ...hahahah...just joking

I think I follow your post about using the front blek onlyyyy ...hahahah

Fuuuhhh everyone into jumping nowadays ...nice

Night? Must be scary in Kiara...not ghost kinda scary ...but MTB scary...

I think his body weight was too forward when he landed...body didnt absorb the impact...instead rebounded to the front...


Spoken like an expert ...even though I ve never jump at all hahahaha

Yeah...get your LBS to do it ...
And dont worry...as long as you properly take out the wheels and store it properly in the car ...Your parts will be safe....
How to store it in your car? I think common sense will be sufficient to guide you ...
Put the gear side of your bike upwards away from contact...

One thing I learned is ..your groupset plays a big role especially at trails like Kiara ...
Gears and modulating your brakes will help you through the technical parts ...
Thats why I leave it to the experts to maintain it

Wow...the last few days has been a bit quite ...
Helloooo...hellooo..helloo...hello
Anyone out there ???

That day I saw the LOOK frame you liked at KH Cycle...
The Carbon FS with the integrated stem ...
Price dunno ...but the guys say its heavy for a Carbon bike ...
They also displayed a Yeti 303 RDH built up ..costing about RM23....K only ...
Hahahah

Fuuhhh just like a boss ...
Hahaha....

Go to LBS...wear Shorts and singlet ....and buy RM23K bike ...
Itu baru boss ...

Wanna ask...does the rider's body weight be considered when he wants to get a FS bike? will it effect the type of travel too?

Hi Firdaus,
At 105kg (approx 230lbs) both the Blur-LT Aluminum and the Blur-LT Carbon
would be fine.
In opposition to your general perception, we actually do recommend the
Carbon version over the Aluminum for bigger/heavier riders.
The Carbon version is actually stiffer (Laterally and Torsionally) and has a
higher ultimate strength than the Aluminum version. The weight saving is an
added bonus.

Here are the details for both to compare -

2012 Blur-LT2 Carbon frame details ­
*Full Carbon frame with one piece lay-up
*140mm rear wheel travel
*VPP multi pivot frame design
*Recommended/Compatible with fork sizes 140 to 160mm (*Tapered)
*Recommended rear max tire size 2.5"
*Disc brake specific design, rotors up to 185mm
*Frame weight with Fox RP23 Air rear shock - Approx 6.0lbs

*ISCG-05 chainguide mount

Thanks for your interest in Santa Cruz, and let me know if you have any
other questions.

Not bad right their customer service...almost instant reply....
Couldnt find any email for Yeti though ...

Well not sure yet ...its between Blur LT and Yeti ASR5...
I tend to research a lot when I purchase something...the more $ involved...the more time I spend analyzing
and this depends on my rezeki also la ...

Sunday riding!
Sat depends if I can recover from my flu ...

Yeah...see la how...see how things turn out ...
One thing Blur LT comes with the new Kashima coating rear suspensions...
It ll probably come to $, weight and color hahaha
