yeah i know that not many places can do the repair. special thread and stitching method. that's why i posted this question.

i'm fine with normal bands, black one if available.

later gonna try OU. see what they'll say.

i got another theory... you lost massive amounts of weight  tongue.gif

that happens to fat asses who cycling their way to become thin... the waist there also become lose because the lycra got stretched out a lot usually and when they slim down... it almost come to the stage that the short will fall...

wrong! i've gained massive weight! actually i bought the shorts when i was a fat ass, and still am. so....

i guess maybe i bought the old stock, because other santini shorts i see, the elastic thingy is stitched outside, not at the inside of the shorts. the type also different.

btw, check out this rim http://bicyclebuysell.com/view_item.php?id=151881 23mm width!

that'll cause the acidic juice to ooze out...

specialized saddle price ok la. not that expensive. get the normal one la. i think toupe is 300+. fizik arione 400+, right?

too much grease packed in the hubs also can cause it to ooze out

true, saddles are very personal. i've used 4 saddles so far. to date, arione agrees with me. although i have to stand up regularly to avoid numbness. after this i want to try specialized toupe

butthead, thx for the updates but im looking for aero rims now  biggrin.gif cash ready, it's a matter to select the brands (or maybe I just upgrade my lung capacity instead of changing to expensive wheels tongue.gif) I planned to get dura ace brand but can only find one in bbs. Can anyone suggest which shop in KL carries them?

Owh btw can someone elaborate the pros and cons of c50 7900 and FR0 (2way fit) ? somehow rather only those 2 are in my mind..read somewhere on the net that having a carbon rim sometimes can caused a tire blow up if the heat is too much during braking is that right?

bbs seller selling c50 7850 rm2850..new one. is the price alright?
*
try rodalink. they can order the c50 for you.

sharing is caring. gonna get myself a FR0 dark lable soon tongue.gif owh btw, price for 2-way fit and normal clincher is the same. difference in weight is around 30grams only. would you choose a 2way fit (just for the sake of trying tubeless sometimes) or just get the normal clincher and get the 30grams of weight saving?

same price izzit? last time i checked, different price. anyway, i would get the normal type.

I have been a silent reader all this while and decided to take up road cycling biggrin.gif Anyway I have narrow down to two choices which makes up of budget below 2k.

1. Polygon Helios 200 1.8k+ http://www.polygonbikes.com/index.php?pgid...keid=366&par=11

2. Merida Road Race 880-16 1.9k+ http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_int/bike/20...oad/Race+880-16
Would like to get opinion from you guys here which one of these I should get smile.gif

Since the first puncture I replaced the inner tube, I felt the ride is kinda heavier...

Original inner tube is "Cheng Shin 700X 18/25C Thin" weighted 76gram.

New tube is "Continental Race 28 700X 18/25C 60mm presta" weight 106gram.

Being new to cycling, any idea what is a good brand/model for a good, light inner tube?

try maxxis
