They re just joking ...never put grease ...lube your disc brake ...recipe for disaster ...

Most chain lube would do ....Finish Line, Morgan Blue, Muck Off...some people say WD40 can use ....
Some people say not advisable ...cause WD40 can cause the chain to rust ...

Go to any bike shop then ask ...

To clean disc brakes, use any disc brake cleaner should be ok.

Aaron Gwin applies lightweight industrial grade grease on his rear rotor. Unless you don't mind 2nd-3rd spots. Else grease them all the way to victory..

On the disc itself or in between hub and disc?

Jom la start night group. Every time cycle during daylight, bored already.

I think there are some of the guys in here riding Kiara at night.

Oh really.. Anybody? would love to tag along.

u go do hash 1st..

are bikes below rm1k absolutely not recommended?

dont wanna spend beyond that for now in case it's another case of 'hangat-hangat taik ayam':P

how ty take drop...

You willing to spend more if you're really into it? At least good bikes (with good components) are much easier to sell (at not so much price reduction) if you think you're 'hangat2 taik ayam'...

Night ride?
Night ride is really a friend friend business thingy...
When free go... when not free... call off.
All have their own personal lives to handle. Hence, it is kinda difficult to fix a day and time kinda thing.

And most of those who replied here already retired. He! He! He!

RM1k bike is still ok for beginners.
Just choose the color you like.
All are the same. Even if it is Trek or Yeti or Diamondback or what not.

if you willing travel to Mahkota Cheras Bike Corner, there have night ride on every Friday.
From the bike shop ride to sg long off road area.

or can PM me, i join them occasionally depend my energy level after work, family matter, my work load bla bla.

I would, if I could fully utilize better bikes

as of now I'd probably just cycle around the neighbourhood n to football field etc

bicycle used to be my main transport n I would cycle some 10km to get to a place n I really enjoyed riding with my old cheapo montana back then m would like to recapture that feeling without breaking the bank, yet

so any bike of any brand is fine? lets say my budget is absolutely 1k max, any recommendation? i'd prefer a hardtail though I'm not sure if disc brake would or would not be better at this price point

yes, at 1k budget...any bike will do.. disc or without disc not much different since u are cycling around taman only.
choose the one look best to ur eye. wont know what brand... i believe a plenty out there.

over here are mainly kaki on mountain biking (the offroad biking activities).
if doing off road mountain biking... get a decent 2-3k bike for beginner. 1k bike will only make u hate it and waste money. those bike are not meant for serious offroad...they may look like a mountain bike...but it is meant for taman ride.

hmm okayy.. how bout 2nd hand then? possible to get a decent one around 1k?

u need to ask what do you mean by decent.. decent to cycle around your neighborhood? any bike will do.

if u try to get one for mountain biking... boy, save more money and buy later... if not u just gonna waste money now. people not gonna keep repeating the same advice over and over. read page one.

either u listen or learn the hard way.

Hi, have anyone here have done shipping MTB? What step do I need to do to postage the bicycle?

Thanks

okay advice noted, guess i'll just restore n use back the old bike for now

Bike brands or car brands also can?
