Given a choice ...I would have liked to use Arch EX ...but when I bought the wheels (second hand) ...it came with Alpine ...and the owner is almost as big as me ...and most of his bike were using Alpine ...and he kaki Kiara also ...

If I really have to change both  cry.gif  which I like to avoid ...maybe ill change ...but for now ...I wanna make use of the Alpine first ...

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

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

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.

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 thumbup.gif

IINM, I believe that would be a Domain 160mm. They don't make Parkers anymore rite?

160mm? Doesn't looks like it wor? Izit lowered? Don't think they make Parker anymore. The older gens are known to snapped at the chainstay/dropout area IINM.

Domain u-turn 115mm to 160mm. Chainstay snaps? sweat.gif I did a bit of googling and found out, it would be the 08's parkers.

It is a domain fork. Thought of changing to single crank with bash.
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?

Not to scare you or anything, the guy who broke the chainstay did was a bunnyhop.

160mm with 68 degrees are meant for jumping thumbup.gif
Mostly nowadays bike with 160mm has 66-ish degree head angles. Lets go for a ride or two sometime after raya. rclxms.gif

a. Never tried different brand. Different models of the same brand, I think can.

b. No. It is not true. whistling.gif
