how good this brand compared to Morgan blue ???

i've never used morgan blue before... but i have used motorex...

my only complaint... chain gets dirty too fast even with the dry lube... price is cheap, no doubt...

motorex is quite famous in motorcross bikes and between petrol heads i heard...

Mavic Cosmic Carbone Ultimate, 4 times the CAAD10's price.

wow... ultimates are crazy light.. sub 1200 grams rite? mavic's dream aero wheel...

you bought those babies for you caad10?


i on the other hand would prefer the R-SYS ultimate that ryder hesjedal used in his giro win..

Bike shop where got sell 2nd hand wan.. As butthead said me looking <RM1.5K ..BBS got ppl selling now drooling liao.. but I also found out another less known light wheel...Amain-T RD30...Only 1525gm and much cheaper than fulcrum3, 2nd hand dura-ace & mavic Kysrium Elite for sure

Another with less $$$

walaueh... a bit dangerous leh... never heard of the brand before...

might as well you give the cina mali one a try...

i eyeballed this before, powerway brand... someone sold before on BBS.. but now hilang adi (smell a bit fishy)... i was too chicken shit to try it out...

http://cycleway.cn/products/product-103.html

<1500grams and hopefully if that is USD then price is < RM1.5k for a new set of wheels...

My fren wanna sell his 1 yo Corratec - Carbon frame and ultergra groupsets @ 5K worth it?

corratec i think is from cassie @ pinkbiketrading...

2011 model


this years model


it's not the best of bikes... but, if it ain't crashed before or in a terrible condition... RM5k is not a bad price for jus a year old... how much was it when new?

at the very least... it's not a china bike

is a black color w gold wording, new is 7.xk

it's not too bad if you don't mind a 2nd hand unit... i mean @ rm7k new... you have other options definitely...

but most importantly is the model... from the corratec site... there is only a CCT model... but it seems like there are other models out there.

Although lesser known but they are from US and mfg in the Centre of world bike mfg - Taichung, Taiwan

Their profile not bad although just started in 2004 by Mr Faxsom of California...

Did my first 20km today. Was riding well then suddenly my left leg cramp and i had to stop beside but then i lost my balance when stopping/unclip i fell down the wrong side, got stuck on the ground as all my muscle suddenly cramp and i cant move. Random ppl stop by to pull me up. nothing big deal apart from minor cut on my left elbow and muslce stiffen up and cramp.

Perhaps need some kind of warm up prior to riding?

Manged to get home safely tho

well... if you are convinced with what you read... the only thing left is to place your faith on it..

that 2 videos has nothing much to convince me about the brand... really..

Reminded me of years ago when I started MTB..... yeah got my 1st cramp too ~ 20+ km... .. The more you ride the better you get

Added on August 8, 2012, 10:58 pmStill considering-lah...Let me goto that shop and compare wth his fulcrum 3 1st .. If Fulcrum 3 spin easier & smoother compare wth this amain-T, I will get FR3, if not AmainT.. FR3 is slightly heavier than this amaint!

guys, is polygon helios 100 good? saw one second hand sale for rm1800, is the price expensive?

New Helios 100 selling in rodalink for RM1,648 without discount.. This 2ndhand selling > new? Must be lotsa upgrade liao?

That was dangerous..what if you fell and there were cars behind you...scary lah...warm up properly before ride bro...

if you compare FR3 and the Amain-T RD30 black version which is only 30 grams lighter.. i think it's not a whole lot of difference... this is 1 lesson i learned long ago that wheel claim weight is not everything...

if the majority of the weight is centered on the rim... you will find it harder to spin up but maintains momentum like miaopurr says and vice versa... that looks to be the case on the amain-T as it has a 31mm rim compared to the 24mm on the fulcrum...

an example was one of my previous set of wheels... the Xero XSR-1... a funky paired spoke wheel.. claimed weight is well under 1600 grams... but it is hard to spin up as the rim is bulked up due to having 2 spoke holes at the same spot of the rim (unlike most paired spoke wheels, and i do mean exact same spot as in side by side) thus they have to make those places with thicker walls and resulted in a heavier rim... i think they managed to shave weight using a lighter hub and also helped by the lighter DT revolution spokes... on the contrary, my next wheel the SRAM S27 was listed as heavier but spun up smoother as the S27 rim was practically a set of rebranded kinlin 27mm niobium rims (rumor)... so the weight is more balanced out between the hub and rims making it a set that is considerably easy to spin up...

at the end of the day... it does boil down to what you want to do with the wheel... if you are the aggresive attacking type of climber... the wheel with less rotational mass is preferred... if you ride flats at speed a lot... the amain-T will serve it's purpose since it's more aero and the slight dent in spin up performance can be negated...

I hvn't really experience close to cramp except the time when I cycle to PD, after the fell my muscle tense up it's hard for me to go beyond 25k/h after that..

hmm looks like a lot of conditioning work you need to do to increase your fitness
