haha... try gohtong jaya from sempah.. more challenging...

the 140K one? you wanna kill him meh?

too far away la... i already lost interest before i get to starting point... i got very short attention span.. like 6 seconds or something like tat... wonder if they call that ADD...
*
6 secs only? hmm......

140k broga is the one that starts from bt14 - bt 18 - broga loop - bt 18 - bt 14, right? no bukit hantu right?

i tot kenot cycle up to gohtong jaya anymore?

The best ever preparation for Broga loop is expect nothing, know nothing just like i did on my virgin broga loop with Team magnum. i thought 120KM, normal ride. whose know later found out riding Broga loop...

have fun....

you know, instead of riding bt 18 twice, u can ride up Sg Tekali road (aka bukit hantu), so you won't get bored riding on the same road again on your way back. plus, you can cut short some mileage.

if u ride alone, bring two tubes with some patches just to be well prepared. if u ride with friends, just one tube and some patches.

don't forget to write a ride report here, ok?

i think that's similar to Tekala-Broga loop! haha... pondan loop. hahahaha!

the first time i tried broga loop, straight away my friend brought me to cycle Broga jantan, all 150k of it. hahaha. when climbed up perez, was so tired and painful, we heard the sound of a truck coming, and we tried to flag it hoping to hitchhike. people in the truck thought we were waving at them so they waved us back n continued on their way... WAHH!!!

back then, jeram toi road was still gravel and sand, dubbed paris roubaix

glad i've gained my sanity back

in a good way... he is asking if you are sure you want to buy such an expensive shoe la... maybe the sound might be a bit harsh...

broga-genting sempah-gohtong jaya-kkb-fraser  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

broga paying to promote is it?
*
OR, maybe he wanted to know that elsewhere those sidis are sold significantly expensive, but if the customer look at his price tags, customers would know that he offers attractive price. makes sense?

OR, he just simply share his views like how a fellow cyclist would comment on the price tag of a cervelo r5ca.

possibru?

eh ur proposed route lagi tak logic la

btw, u know the route? where to start? i forget the route but i remember things i did during the ride.

we stop at Titi to eat wan tan mee....
then continue... passby K.Kleweng town...
then i thinks after dont know whats long hills, immediate after end of downhill at the junction, there's a fruit stall selling nice sweet watermelon! we can stop there....

after the watermelon, further abit, it's the Bukit Tangga! it's look short, but it's bloody hilly!

after that, the ride is not much hilly.. some little rolling hills... then we can stop by at Broga town... refuel...

then, after that, i have no idea how to back to Bt 14 / Kajang.  rclxub.gif 

hmm... which date? really hard to find 1. any suggestion?

Hi, any good bike shop in KL/PJ area to recommend? want to get one for leisure purpose only. was interested in cyclocross bike but somehow very difficult to find one in M'sia. any idea why? is it because of the difficulty to get parts or something or is it just no demand? Thanks

wear and tear? or problem start when reaching certain mileage?

My bike is giving some "tik tik tik" sound when im going up hill, pushing the padel at the hardest and pull... with stand up position...

asked my friend, he said, your LOOK KEO might be the source of sound... as it's common problem or else your BB...
*
check everything is tightened properly. i had same problem, when climbing and the right crank was at the lowest position, i could hear squeaking sound. checked everything; pedal, seatpost, fork, bb. i even had my bb serviced but still didn't solve the prob. finally found the source of the squeak. the chainring bb was loose. tightened it with torque wrench and problem solved.
