but will you be enjoying the scenery, or just looking down staring at your handlebars cause looking at what's to come is just plain demoralizing? Cycling V2, General talks on bicycles

QUOTE(butthead @ May 8 2012, 12:02 PM) that is the thing... having to suffer on the way up to enjoy the heavenly bliss awaiting at the top is the very enjoyment of a climb... if you can enjoy the scenery on the way up... all the better... being able to coast down is the main inspiration for riding up |

QUOTE(mrjgx @ May 8 2012, 08:19 PM) bro, how's Frasers? got some pics to share? I plan to do the route from KKB-Frasers...do you start from KKB as well? Yup, started from KKB. Parked at the mini stadium. about 40km distance, 1.1km elevation. pretty nice ride, for the most part its just like a longer version of genting sempah, except for the final 9km.Added on May 9, 2012, 1:04 am QUOTE(butthead @ May 8 2012, 08:29 PM) curse your way to the top of the climb... i think it kinda works... but it might offend some people along the way... like suddenly an unker getting mistaken that you are calling him a shitface mofo... you can mentally curse... but i think it is better to just say it out... I actually know a girl who does thisAdded on May 8, 2012, 8:31 pmwas jus jokin bout the cursin method... don't do it... or at least don't start shouting cuss words when you are riding... if not, tanjong rambutan pigi you will...

QUOTE(kimikewl @ May 15 2012, 11:52 PM) Mongoose hybrid is less than 1k. Polygon and raleigh also has hybrid less than 1k. My bro n I bought fuji tho. Same model but different shops and price diff of RM300 (price is less than rm1.5k). Nw wanna sell my rc short course truck to get fuji nevada 2.0 Taiwan specs, far better than intl. specs but with price diff of rm100 Just need to keep in mind that those bikes under 1k often comes only in a single size. So if you're a rather small sized of a rather big sized person, you may have problems with the bike sizing for longer rides.Added on May 15, 2012, 11:55 pm According to a lbs in kl, xds, khs, nexus, TRS and whatever brand sounds similar are made by same KHS factory in China. |

QUOTE(nlik @ May 16 2012, 10:53 PM) Cheaper cars maybe easier to steal, easier to sell. The market for kancil parts is pretty good too. steal a kancil and strip it apart and sell the parts.QUOTE(nlik @ May 16 2012, 10:53 PM) Well, maybe because I bought it at the same time as the bike so could be a 'package' price. For now, I have the front visor removed. the visor's supposed to improve on the airflow as well into your helmet. |

QUOTE(butthead @ May 22 2012, 02:52 PM) so, you on tubeless now or you just feed your tyres grass? gone tubeless still carry a tube around with me though, in the event of sidewall blowouts, or very severe punctures. I actually seen somebody's tubeless sidewall blow out cause of air expansion in hot weather. he pumped the pressure right to the limit (but not yet exceed it). cycling for hours under the hot sun resulted in the air expanding so much in the tires that sidewall came off the rim |

QUOTE(joonming @ May 24 2012, 11:26 AM) kesas is a very popular spot for cyclists, and there's quite a number of groups cycling there, whether they start from Puchong, Sri Petaling, Kota Kemuning, or Klang. You can go on the bike lane almost the entire time too.And it tends to be a very mixed bunched too. Some groups have mainly road bikes, some have mainly MTB, some are mainly folding bikes, some are a mix of everything. |

On some parts, he becomes Gokou Super Saiyan and burst speeds fast enough to overtake a few road bikes in 1 go. He has my respects. ooooo... power rider So MTB yes . Some high tech carbon bikes were also seen at the Summit meeting place. Yea.. there was a girl yesterday on MTB. But I think our group left her way behind, I only saw here at the start. |

QUOTE(tele_mobile @ May 26 2012, 10:58 PM) Haha... Thx for the bros here advise. Much appreciated. Another question, brand like scott has frame design for woman, but some brands for unisex. So should i look into this, does it makes much different? whether to get a WSD frame or not really depends from person to person. it'll be best to bring your GF to the shop for a proper fitting. some women swears only by WSD frames, while others are ok with non WSD frames. |

QUOTE(butthead @ May 27 2012, 12:21 AM) most brands have women's geometry available... not just scott... and most frames are rideable by the female population.. oh yah, just to add also. WSD frames tends to come in smaller size options. so kinda useful for smaller size women too.women's frame tend to have a steeper top tube than most of the bikes.. which is kind of invalid nowadays since no one wears a blouse to cycle... they tend to have a more compact geometry as well so the girls sit in a more relaxed upright position (not sure of the reasons... but if i tell you mine, i'd be call a sexist) further more like what specialized said on their amira range... "don't tell your boyfriend that your carbon bike is lighter than his" as it has less material to build the complete women's frame... |
