Is it fine to wash the road bike with water hose? Like "bathing" it ?

QUOTE(MattJ @ May 10 2012, 10:04 PM) Prevail is quite pricy. Prefer Giro, Lazer or even Met, nice designs and good protection as well. If specialized, propero II maybe ok, design a bit like prevail s-works. Try have a look at the Giro Savant http://www.giro.com/us_en/savant.html . Just got mine, adequate comfort, quite light at around 255g for L size.

QUOTE(nlik @ May 13 2012, 11:48 PM) Just bought the Merida 903 frm Pedalsport Sri Petaling today. Have not ride a bicycle for more than 10 years, and even then, it was a mountain bike. Shaking my head.. Carbon Fibre Fork!!? could i get killed if this this cracks, was what i thought.
Immediately took it out from bkt jalil to Puchong n back in around 50 minutes. Bone jarring+ some internal organs rearranging themselves. More reassured about the carbon fibre fork though, even thought some phobias about racing bike remain. Is the one you got with Tiagra 20-speed? If you don't mind me asking how much you got it

QUOTE(cyam95 @ May 31 2012, 09:10 AM) I need some advice/opinion on purchasing new bike. I'm planning to buy carbon bike with budget around 10k. Below is my consideration 1. argon 18 gallium 2. trek 4.6 3. boardman team carbon 4. cervelo s2 5. pinarello fp2 (quattro) Now I'm not sure which one is better and value for the money. Is it better for me to build the bike instead by buying frame and other component? What frame can I get for around 5k? Maybe you can try look at this "bike of the year"? XD http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bik...pro-30-12-45927

QUOTE(butthead @ Jun 29 2012, 01:27 PM) are you sure? that is british pounds.. it will come to more close to RM2.5k at the current currency rate.. and not inclusive of shipping charges and mind you...no warranties if anything were to happen during shipping or after assembly... it's cheap... but also taking a huge bet on something you have never seen, touch, feel let alone gauge it for sizing... you're right XD very tempting, must resist X)
