thanks everyone for your kind reply.. just dont get it why is branded better than under 2k.. to what i understand is the difference is just the frame no? components can be the same or similar right? help me understand whats the difference between them branded and under 2000 bikes... smile.gif thanx heaps
*
Is like a Japanese Cars VS Malaysia Cars. I never says Malaysian Car is bad. But you judge it by yourself.

Components are not the same. Please study more if you are serious. Google really has lots of information.

A good bike comes with Shimano XTR groupset and an entry level one should be at least a Shimano Deore.

It is simple. If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys. biggrin.gif

Ultimately, we all are going to enjoy the hobby.. we learn new thing.. and most important.. we met and make new friends! IMHO. Just spend within means. No point riding a very good bike but eat maggi at home. And riding a very good boutique brand doesn't turned us into a PRO though you may looks like one. If you really afford Rm 2k only. Settle with it but don't regret. Let's roll.. brows.gif

30km? Fuyoooo...thats probably all the trails in kiara....hehehe...have to start real early like dat...its the noon heat that makes it a big challenge...plus ill probably need to bring some supplement gel to give a bit of boost hehehe
*
Yes. Perhaps some of the trails like 2k, 4k, lower short and twin peak gotta be done twice in order to fulfill quota. icon_idea.gif

how to check if frame is ok or not....??

TQ in Advance

Send to sirim or puspakom to test? I think for used frame. You wouldn't know unless the owner is honest.

Ride and feel it. if you like it. Just whack. Otherwise. Buy a new one with warranty. Lesser hassle. My 2 cent.

No special tools... no special ways... just physical check.
No scratch... no dent...
Ride uphill no sound ngek ngek ngek... change gear smooth.
Jump here jump there... if ok... then ok.
Ha! Ha! I got 1 auntie wanted to sue me also. Ha! Ha!.

I saw them walking on the tokong downhill part.
So, from far, I sounded them telling rider coming down.

When reached in front of them, they still left right left right...
So, I sighed and tell them be careful.
The unker start scolding saying I rude. I told them this is bike downhill trail. Bikes coming down fast. Accident later susah.
The auntie come straight say "where got say this is bike trail?" And continued saying "if u crash me I sue you la".
I replied telling them if jogger trail got jump here and jump there one ah?" And If I crash onto u, no need sue, u die liao"
Then the unker lagi bangang and start scream... I told them "Happy weekend" and left.

Yeah....its 2 distinctively different tyres ....which is why I asked....Minion can not la ...later I wanna climb pengsan ...

Wallauwei ....

I calculated total cost to convert my rear to a 142x12 axel....

Comes to about RM600..without shipping some more ... cry.gif

Hub Converter Axel = RM225
Frame component = RM150
Shimano 142 skewer = RM207

With shipping easily RM600 ++
*
Actually 142x12 doesn't really helps. IMO LAH~

IF..
1) We aren't do FAST cornering, and
2) We aren't do big drop/jump. (It is stiffer)

Though it is easier for dismatling the wheel.

Unless you have more $$ to spend. That's entirely different story. cool.gif


Added on May 24, 2012, 11:35 amI'm using Max Minion. (Comes with bike)
The drag is immediately spot on. But quite good in hitting gnarly section and decending. But climbing wise.. It's out!

Im using CK...

The reason I want to change to a 142 st up is because:
1. Looks more secure
2. Since my rear swing arm is carbon ...I think 142 is better compared to a QR...QR tends to affect the surface of the contact points
3. Hopefully it ll make it stiffer ....
4. It looks neater (looks...last but not least hahah)

Currently Im using noby Nics front tyre ....its works really well at Kiara ...but with my tubeless set up ...its advisable to change to a new tyre ...so I itchy itchy wanna try new tyre ....

Not a must ...but its a consideration ..

NOOBy nic tire not good. I don't like the name. the word 'noob' brows.gif

Carbon swingarm? Nevermind bro. You will change bike one.
