QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Mar 28 2012, 04:43 PM) Congratzz on the new purchase. So when will you show off the bike in live. recently showing off already, been to few places, such as kiara, pcp and frim. just no time to post here and getting comments of this bike. so far really hard to find user of this bike for sharing and technical advice.Is the Fox fork KASHIMA coat? meanwhile, what do u mean of kashima coat? bundle with fox float This post has been edited by levilau: Mar 28 2012, 04:51 PM |

QUOTE(kaizer @ Mar 28 2012, 04:53 PM) Got a fren riding this too. Seems like a more stable bike to move around. Love the brakes man... Formula FTW. brakes r not bad after all, used for 3 week and still getting use to it. previously using slx. but all the while my rear brake very noisy, i guess its time for medical check up. seems canot be still not run out. admited its a stable bike, move from hardtail to this. really a big different. climb hill not as dificult as i image, but need extra power for it, but still manageble. take it part of the training Added on March 28, 2012, 5:06 pm QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Mar 28 2012, 04:56 PM) Technical thingy you can ask our member here RayKazansky. He is the Ninja Mechanic a.k.a Bike spare part Expert. thanks for recomandation. somehow i'm not into too technical looking person. will leave it to the pro to service my bike. maybe some technical advice is possible from sifu here. Wokay this Sat lets Kiara. As for Kashima. You snap a photo of your fork and share here. If not Kashima, let's change... sat i will go pcp, mostly i will ride on sunday with my kaki. but this week special, need to balik homwtown for chinese ocassion. might riding with my sis. thanks for the invitation. snap which part? how good is kashima? change...huh...this is good enough for me for few month stock ride. burnt my wallet already. fork is not my next update list ^^ This post has been edited by levilau: Mar 28 2012, 05:06 PM |

QUOTE(anthony_nch82 @ Mar 28 2012, 05:08 PM) Can climb frim Helipad? with this bike rear shock design, it was dificult to clean up since my hand is consider huge. i guess no way can prevent mud all over the bike, especial rear part, only few ocassion might happen and mostly wet track will cause mud all over the rear, and it happens to me for my first ride at kiara. Haha.. You need to figure out on how to cover the rear shock from mud bro. And cleaning the bike especially at the shock part will consume you a little more time. Have a nice ride. Let's mudfest at Kiara this Sat. Gonna roll my 3 weeks old Giant Reign there. havent climb helipad yet. steriod hill got it for the first time ever since with few attempts made. ( even since during my hardtail also tak layak.) i guess with few more training and determination, i finally made it. helipad will be my next challenge with this bike. too bad i cant join. i will just go pcp for a casual ride only. later will balik hometown during noon, and since just nearby my place only. enjoy guys~ |

damn fine bike. Was choosing between this and giant reign. Perfect geo but the shock placement and internal cable routing turned me off. Still, thumbs up! [/quote] Yeah. Shock placement turned me off as well. Which reign btw? [/quote] Mind to ask why is d replacement kind of hard? |

QUOTE(chyu89 @ Mar 28 2012, 11:07 PM) they kong the postion of the shock. so tight cannot masuk coil even dhx air also cannot. any piggyback shock also cannot masuk. gaya -1 for sure. same like having a 30.0 seatpost. Ic...understand, its far enough for my usage, since I'm not that kind of hardcore, and I believe it was designed with this shock for a purpose. Anyway, thanks for all Sifu advice. Really appreciate it Added on March 28, 2012, 11:27 pm QUOTE(readix @ Mar 28 2012, 11:15 PM) Agreed...time to change bike then...haha This post has been edited by levilau: Mar 28 2012, 11:27 PM |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Mar 30 2012, 12:15 PM) You ve never had a hardtail right?....how do you know its not worth having? agreed with you, somehow, all rider will start with HT first before they decide which category to go for.For XC...jamboree ...you cant beat a hardtail ... I believe its always a good platform to polish your skills too ... |

QUOTE(majorsinbad @ Mar 30 2012, 12:37 PM) U should try riding a hardtail in Kiara ....then you ll know the difference ... XC bike for kiara is challenging, but trail bike for kiara is fantastic enjoyments. Its not about competition ..its about different riding characteristics too ... Like driving a manual car and an automatic car ... U should also try join a jamboree ...you ll either like it or you dont... For me I like riding both XC and trail type ...I enjoyzzzz...like boomzzzzz tried both bike there, anyhow it will still depands on ur skills and technic, correct me if i'm worong. |
