Btw, i have a question for u guys.

can u please help me. Thing is i have a problem with me pulling up my handlebars when i jump. I can bunnyhop well and am able to jump over obstacles. But at the take off of a jump, i can get some air but my pulling of the handlebars (is there a better term?) aint that strong. I can pull it as high as those videos we like to see. I can compress the rear wheel until the seat (which is slammed) kiss my buttcheeks so the rear aint a problem. Just that front pop aint good.

do u guys have any tips? Practices and stuff. any pointers will do

Hurm.. Haven't thought of that. It might be laa. Too bad i cant adjust the compression or rebound. Do u guys pull it to ur tummy or to ur chest? Cuz a brother told me to pull the handlebars to the chest. I dont know if its the right technique or just bro-science.

Crashing is never fun....
I always notice one rider never wearing helmet in Kiara ....I think he thinks its beyond him to use it...I just wished he realised that no matter how good you are the trail can easily humble you ....

And when it does ...it might not be so forgiving ....

The thing is ...if the guy crashes...he should realised that it impacts the other riders ...
Even if you are the type that doesnt empathise with such smart asses ...if he is lying in the middle of the trail you will still need to push him aside ...if you get what I mean...(another cruel thing you can do is bunny hop him)

So use a brain bucket...its worth it

Question to Sifus

1. If wanna convert to 1x10....what chainguide is recommended ..so far Im looking at Blackspire, MRP and Superstar. So far Blackspire looks good...its light too ...

2. Where can I get Shimano shoes....wanna survey...So far I ve checked out Rodalink

Since we are talking about single chainrings. I always wondered if we can run a 1x10 for example with no chain guide?

Can... use the new RD which supposed to be less ass slapping.

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Feb 20 2013, 12:21 PM)
Nope...dont have ISCG....

In an ideal world...I would obviously change to XX1...but thats a 3-4K investment ....not just the group...but also the converter for the hub ....

I knew someone was gonna suggest rolling over ...hahahah...

Bang... u blum check XX1 price kan? Ha! Ha! Whole groupo is below 3k bang...

I've seen many riders who say they are not kuat, they dont ride much la, cant jump la but has dragon legs when pedaling and eagle wings when taking jumps. So since there are a lot who ride kiara, ride here and there, its kinda hard to believe.

I do want to learn to be a better rider. and i like how people here emphasis on wearing a helmet, have proper gear for riding.

And dont forget the bike porn here. drool.gif

and tech question:

Is it worth it using those plastic pedals? Kore's are selling for RM39 at this store in Bangsar. looks ok. or should i go for steel platform pedals? My pedals hurt my shins too much.

my pedal looks like this

do it in light gear, probably 1x5 or 1x6
do not paddle. do no seat. relax and just press ur rear foot with the paddle and lift it up. the front leg u can press down. do it slowly.

just my 2 cents on how i do it on my own
