If you hensem like me, wear what also hensem. nuffsaid.

LSC is the first half of travel. HSC is 2nd half of travel- to bottom.
LSC if slow, u brake dive coz plush, fast not so plush so not much brake dive.
HSC if slow, u hentam big landing, bottom fast, if fast, not so easy bottom up
normally i play LSC neutral, HSC fast, so bottom slower. textbook said it's good when you drop on rock garden.

But non of the above are really important except the hensem like me part. as long you arent a racer, those settings doesnt really matters.

the most important bit about LSC and HSC is that, the correct setup will determine how fast you can get out off a corner, if you take a sharp corner leaning tight into the berm and your LSC too plush, you'd gonna dive and you cant get out off the corner fast enough. if its too stiff cornering will be a b**** and your rear tyre boleh drift. its all about getting the right setup with your style off riding.

Why u refer pajamas as gaya?

because pajamas can be gaya without jatuh koyak kulit peha. if end of ride, got mud on pants ppl will say "waah so fast today eh" then you will say "ohh its nothing" cool2.gif

Yes.... correct!
I know about the material. I also have a belang belang zebra DH pants.
What I am trying to say is... why the bright color pants with lotsa pattern and such.

You don't see in other sports.
Only Motocross and DHer.

i dont know specifically how to answer this question, i actually seen a documentary on DH and there was this story where back in the 80s they ride offroad DH with modded roadbikes.

Bikepro got one SC Chameleon for sale. It is used. Rm3,000.00

my comment on the Chameleon that its a stiff bike, nice predictable handling and gives confidence in rough conditions. Short wheelbase and geometry is great for quick steering and getting around technical stuff. Balanced front and rear weight. Fast climbs, nice for bombing downwards, manuals wheelie, bunnyhops, a quick trip to the kedai also can.

anyone has any idea what mtb hardtails are good for long distance road riding? geometry and posture wise? im looking at a 29er, but there arent any semi-slick wheels for the 29ers. im also looking at a chameleon.

ive got a touring machine but running on a 700 road tyres gila dude tukar tayar tepi jalan wanna die already.
