Hi all sifu here,

Can some one kindly let me know where i am able to find "harley davidson" bike or know as chopper bike?

Thank you very much

Bought the complete bike for a good price, with SRam Force, Sram wheelset AL30 sprint, carbon seatpost, ok lah, frame and component worth RM15k, got it for way less. Kalau frame saja RM7104k GH selling. Mine was ast unit of SL3 Tarmac Astana colors in that size, 49.
Been hunting high and low for that color even overseas, only got lucky recently.

Yesterday saw at Citta Volt should be under Joo Ngan Son bicycle

morgan blue... expensive stuff... think i saw someone listed it before in BBS... try there and see... not sure what they have from their range... maybe race oil

hi guys!

i wanna ask where can i find mtb road tires that are larger than 1.5. For example like scwalbe big apple 26x2.0.

I commute je everyday.

p/s - im so happy that i got a commencal premier VB to replace MY OLD BEATER

Now that's a good question. Have not seen much slick tires bigger than 1.5 sold locally. I know of 2 guys who uses 1.7 slicks, will be seeing them again on Wednesday for a night ride. I can check with them to see where they got it from

Out of curiosity, why look for bigger tires for road use?

Cool. Keep us posted man.

I run Maxxis Detonators 1.5. And i think why i want to run bigger tires is because:

1. I think it looks sweeeeeet
2. I commute, carry my laundry and groceries on my bike and the tires im running are quite weak. Punctured them due to heavy load
3. Better cornering
4. Plusher ride
5. Resists potholes and pinch-punctures compared to skinnier tires

Well, at least thats what i think. Cuz my standard MTB tires (those generic unbranded ones) seem to protect themselves from punctures better than the detonators. And so i thought "If only there were road treads on a 2.0 tire". Well, i could be wrong.

Actually, don't think the punctures are problem with the 1.5 tires. Chances are that its more of a Maxxis Detonator issue. These tires, when they work they really work well, but if unlucky, really can puncture like mad also.

Also, if you're to look at touring bike tires, the tires are similar in size to the 1.5 too, and these bikes tends to carry a heavy load.

The punctures that I experienced on the detonators are mainly due to debris. Had not had any due to pinch flats yet (but then I pump the pressure all the way up to 70 psi of the max of 80psi)

So far been lucky, no punctures for the last month or so, but when I run my detonators out, I'm gonna try a different brand of tire next.

Bike Pro got sell morgan blue... located at the rack near to bike service area...in fact i think they use it to service the bikes cos saw an half-used bottle on the service/tool bench...

Hi all, does anyone know where in Malaysia can I get the 3M Diamond Grade Reflective Tape?

Thanks. yesterday visited Samy shop, it's just arrived in package. Not yet open! lucky me!

Er.. morgan blue is expensive stuff? i just know last night i brought my 1st hell expensive lubricant oil !

Guess it's a welcome sign to Roadbike maintenance.

On other hand, did anyone uses AFT oil to lubricant their chain?

I think ur right. Since the detonators are considered training tires. Touring/commuting tires should not be as weak.

Running detonators at 70+Psi is what i also do. But air seem to escape very easily. Maybe its due to the weak sidewall of the tire. Dontcha think?

Er.. since there's watermark in the photo, y not u ask the one who uploaded the pic.

there's a joke among the detonator haters that its called detonators for a reason. they detonate. but well, its a lot of mixed feelings on these tires. You can go months without a single puncture, and then can have punctures everyday for a week.

Don't think the air escaping is due to the tires though. Its more of a tube issue. Gradual air escape is kinda normal. I tend to top up my tire pressure once a week, or before long rides. What's the extent of the air loss that you're facing?

wat is that for? stationery shops?


i recall is kinda expensive compared to finish line and pedros....

how expensive is expensive?

never try ATF... you just have to wash it after every damn ride... annoying as dust and dirt just sticks to it... i heard people trying 0-20W fully synthetic, which you can buy in 1 liter bottle and it isn't cheap in motor oil... it is cheap considering you get 1 lit for that price... why it does not work is that the oil is kinda thick and high chances that it won't penetrate the inside of the pins which is pointless...

things i have tried and is those sewing machine oil, teflon spray, motorcycle spray on lubes other than bicycle specific lubes...

none of them work as well.. not just because it isn't smooth... but they attact dust and dirt too fast that you have to keep washing and relubing your chain every week which is not cheap...

next to try is

1) sapim race oil
2) rock n roll gold (they say it cleans your chain while you lube it as well, like those wash and wax liquid for cars)
3) progold chain lube

unfortunately... have to depend on ebay or online purchase for all of this...
