Guys need some advice,

I'm thinking buying mtb what should look for before decide?

1. Size? 26 or 29 I heard now trend 29?
2. Should I get one with absorber under the seat or without? Any difference?
3. Brand ?
4. Should I go for 2nd bike first?

Thanks

1. the trend is to have both 26er and 29er bikes. each best for it own use.
2. absorber under the seat?... that's new to me!! more absorber the better!!
3. brand, which ever the most expensive is the best!
4. buy new

you are asking an open question... so thats an open answer.
if you want specific answer, be more specific on your question and ask the right question....
what kind of riding you do or you wish to do? what's your budget and etc details info.

have you read page 1? if not, please read it first. it will get u somewhere

1. Hard tail XC trend is 29". Full sus AM/FR/DH trend is 26". People who don't know where to spend their money, 27.5".

2. Absorber? Laik this?


I believe you meant telescopic seat post.


3. Do you have money? I mean, lotsa money? If yes, go for branded ones.

4. Do you have money? I mean, lotsa money? If yes, go for new ones.

I'm trying to find SS tensioner.
Sadly, my LBS doesn't sell it, there is none in BBS.

My budget is around 2.5k to 3k

Use for both road and trail.

If that's your budget, try looking for a good bike at bicyclebuysell.com
If brand new 3k, not so gooding.

get a hardtail. i would get 29er or 650b(27.5).

Giant?

giant or yeti.. no marida

below 3k should be Giant Talon 2, google it see you like color

nevergal sucks. side wall sucks always koyak. get dual ply if you wanna do AM

Wow... u so kuat... Alhamdullillah i never koyak a nev before, but then, wasn't too gnarly before this...

when i started AM, fuuuuuck my tyres pancit non stop. i basically tried Karma, Nevegal (alwaysgagal actually) and Conti. all 3 tak boleh blah. FAIL in my book. tried dirty dan, langsung tak boleh naik. but turun was fun lah. turun flint stone i barely braked. now im on intense s4 tyres. great at going down. kinda ok goin up. and its slippery, so you can brap at corners and berms. fun.

habis banyak jugak la beli tyre

What Contis did u use? MK2?

mountain king 2 yes.

i can give my nevegal for free by the way siapa nak? just belanja mcdonalds belakang ksh

the "肥仔" bar
cheap and nice (hopefully)...



Latest news from my hometown (Sg Petani) friend (bike shop owner):
1. Shimano SLX 2X10 groupset - sampai
2. Hope Pro 2 Evo hubs - sampai
3. ZTR Flow rims - on the way

Can't wait to collect all the parts and pasang...

Now thinking whether to bring my bike back during CNY and pasang,
or go back bring the parts come KL pasang...
Since my frame and some parts bought from KSH,
duno how much will they charge me for the installation...

Who got Evoc bike travel bag nak pinjam...

Tareh... u too hardcore. U are using an AM tyre for DH ride. Cannot...

I've also never pancit a nevegal before except twice coz of my own fault.

I have pancit High Roller twice coz duri stucked inside.

Other than that... both tyres are ok for me.

Guess it is all depends on how u set it.



RM2.5k for bike... just choose the color u like.
Usually, what I'll do is, measure the weight and also must make sure the color is nice.

why bike travel beg.. display it on your car rack
