QUOTE(glamour @ Apr 10 2012, 03:19 PM) ya...thanks for the info...just my current budget for full sus is SCSL... need a bike that can climb well n go down fast... What is wrong with am bike? It's fun to ride a trail or an am bike. I move from Xc to am even my stamina is not achievable. But till the end, I even trained well and Xc is nothing for me while climb hill.AM bike will be hard for me to climb as i tested my friend bike...maybe in the future when i got the stamina to climb with AM bike. If you got a better alternative, can post here to share..will go have a test ride when free.  bicycle stuff is really sickening...  very True.... |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Apr 10 2012, 11:39 PM) Did anyone say AM bikes are wrong? Apologies, I not mean that, I just wonder most ppl can accept 29er although also hard to climb, but am will reconsider about it. Nowadays am bike built light compare to old days. |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Apr 13 2012, 09:55 AM) YEah... thanks for your info ^^Usually when they refer a bike as a Trail bike ...it means it can be ridden more aggressively ... as compared to XC bike ... Usually the maximum travel for an XC HT bike is 100mm...because its made for XC and usually needs to be light ... In the words of Keith Bontranger: ""weight, strength, price...pick two""....You cant have all 3... Which is why a Trail HT are not that light ..as it needs to be strong enough to take up long travel (140-160mm) ie: SC Chamelion, etc.. nowonder 1 of my member HT can install 150mm fork. so its a trail HT. Wednesday went to pcp. long time did not ride HT, gone a bit too extreme...both of my arm pain, haha ^^ |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Apr 13 2012, 10:58 AM) Yup ... thanks for your advice...maybe to comfort with full sus high travel, sudently 100mm travel, haha...u know la..hand definately will hold tight enough to secure ourself. A good tip from the book I read... ""Heavy feet, light hands. ... , keep your hands relaxed at all times (no white knuckle or stiff arms) " helps you maneuver past obstacles better ..without adding pressure to your hands and shoulders ..  |

QUOTE(azrene @ Apr 25 2012, 08:01 PM) Hi guyss.. Currently been riding jamis xtrail 3.0 . Riding in frim, kiara n pcp. But looking fir a new bike. Preferable full sus with budget 2.5k. Google some choices .. Is mongoose bike ok? Or what about xds? Any sifu can help. 2.5k hardly get a good full sus bike. Mongoose is just an entry level bike. If can budget yourself at least 5k for a decent full sus bike. |

QUOTE(snowfire64 @ May 15 2012, 09:40 PM) Hi all, First, u might need to check your wheel set can fit in with your fork or not. Then only you think of others, coz most fox fork using different quick releases. Correct me if I'm wrong. Need some clarification on what fork to upgrade. Thinking of buying a second hand fox float 100mm( which is around 1.5k, i guess) , would that comparable to rock shox sid? Also, is the fork contributes much weight on the bike? Bcuz my bike feels kinda heavy. I'm running on xtc frame, deore grpset, suntour xcm, and cap ayam handlebar,seatbar and pedals. So, before upgrading, i would like to know which upgrade is more appropriate. ie: fork upgrade v carbon handle/seatbar. My usual cycle is uphill and a bit of downhill(on rocky surface mostly). Your answers is much appreciated  Cheers |
