Or... consider selling the Alpine rim on BBS? Or keep it as spare.

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Jul 8 2012, 10:36 PM) Yup, I noted it's not just about the safety on the first page. I read but didn't understand about the bike. Will do some googling after this. So complicated. This might help...http://mountainbike.about.com/od/buyingyou...r_Beginners.htm |

A few shops in KL have Manitou R7. I suggest asking Yong Advance Cycles.

QUOTE(kaizer @ Jul 28 2012, 01:08 AM) That sir, is a Jamis Parker II frame. Depending on the build, it would usually means it's a Slopestyle bike. Basically it's a competition Freeride bike. Meant to take the punishment of DJ and tricks. But it will be out of it's element on Freeride/AM territory. IINM, I believe that would be a Domain 160mm. They don't make Parkers anymore rite?From your pix, looks like it's build as it is. Slopestyle. The fork's a Lyrik right? A 2x9 with a long cage derailleur is a recipe for chainslap city IMHO. But then again, it it's basic form, it's ready for Kiara This post has been edited by Cyphereza: Jul 28 2012, 01:13 AM |

QUOTE(Semuabumi @ Jul 28 2012, 11:04 PM) It is a domain fork. Thought of changing to single crank with bash. Not to scare you or anything, the guy who broke the chainstay did was a bunnyhop.I guess it would withstand most punishments in Malaysia soil wouldn't it. snapping at the c/stay , I don't think with my amateur ridding it would snap. Very likely that I am going to snap my bones b4 the c/stay...right? With 68 degree head angle I think it will handle slope and decent well. I read that lower head angle is good for decent as most xc bike is above 70 degree. Freeride/Am/ Dh all are at least 68 degree and below. What you seniors comment? 160mm with 68 degrees are meant for jumping Mostly nowadays bike with 160mm has 66-ish degree head angles. Lets go for a ride or two sometime after raya. |

a. Never tried different brand. Different models of the same brand, I think can.
b. No. It is not true. |
