Heard this from someone ,
'Put a cap of 2T oil into fork oil, can soften the fork'
What logic is this?  hmm.gif
*
The logic would be 2T oil kacau fork oil molecule and makes it soft. Maybe from a 15wt fork oil, it goes to 7.5wt for example. My advise, do not do things you do not know. You wouldn't know if the 2T oil can damage your internal parts.

Hello guys..

I love cycling when I was young. With my rm700 mtb bike and few of my friends, we cycle everyday after school. I used to cycle at places such as back alley of houses, monsoon drains, rumah haram housing area & many other urban rotten roads.

Now I'm venturing back into this hobby with a little more extreme level. Given the experience I've been through when I was a kid, I would love to have similar trail like that.

1st journey I'm planing to cycle will be from my house reach bukit gasing and inside the jungle I'll be exiting from bangsar south.

I know most of the road over there can't really cycle much, need you guys to advice me on that part if any of you guys did cycle in the jungle.

Beside this, I plan to cycle to town from PJ during weekend to enjoy some early breakfast. Is it safe for me to cycle along the highway? I'll be cycling on the emergency lane or the bike lane?

Few times I've actually walk on the bike lane, I felt those bikers actually ride their bike pretty fast. I would actually need to move to the very very side of the path sometimes. By experience that, I don't think riding on the bike lane is safe. I might be wrong. Please advice me.

Btw, my partner cycling to town will be my gf. Other much more hardcore activity will be done by me solo.

To answer your questions:
Not safe.
Bike lane? Got bike lane in PJ? rolleyes.gif

but still not safe

Got motorcycle lane in KL? hmm.gif

Honestly, all I see are normal car lanes, bus & taxi lanes (some part of KL) and emergency lane. I don't see any motorcycle lane or bicycle lane (there are bicycle lanes in Damansara Damai) in KL.

would love to hear it out from different guys out here.

Not sure if anyone in here have used Zesty before. But I think Lapierre in Malaysia is a bit expensive. Not value for money (my opinion la).

i would say below retail price lo..i don't feel comfortable to disclose the price here. people's rice bowl, feel bad form me to spit on it la..some more so many cycling kaki here..hahaha

i would actually plan to buy a bike that i don't really need to add any accessories if possible. the max i would add is just the headlights and rear lights for the moment. wait till i'm really getting the drive in me, then i'll slowly upgrade part by part


Added on December 5, 2012, 6:27 pmwow..after looking at the video at youtube at PCP and Kiara, it is surely something that i would like to test my balls..hahaha

just wondering, do we need to ride the bike up or carry?

PM me the price.

Ride the bike or you can push it if you want to, but pushing is much more tiring. Up to you actually.

A friend of mine used to use DT Swiss EXM150. I must say that it is super plush and you can see the differences in the adjustments.

Here ...may not be a lot ...

But consider this fact ...in the last olympic race ....the male racers were wither using Rockshox or DT Swiss ...World No1 also use DT Swiss ...so something must be right?

Thats not to say Fox is not good ... biggrin.gif

I noticed mostly long travel racers use Fox hmm.gif

hi guys, I'm gonna get a bike soon n unfortunately my budget only allows me to choose from those deore/x5 range. any significant pros n cons over one another?

or just pick whichever design/colour that catches my eyes?

having said that, any particular reason to choose Shimano over dram n vice versa? part availability, price, durability etc.. any difference? biggrin.gif
*
This one is personal preferences. I'd choose SRAM over Shimano because of 1:1 actuation. I kinda like it.
