apa kaitan the pump with the puncture... maybe you haven't got the shard out completely before you replace the tube and pump it up?

unless it's a deep cut or a cut on the sidewall.. doubt you have to throw the tire away....

V3 = Butthead and vin_ann chat thread?

you all haven't wake up ma... that is why only 2 of us...
how small is small??? i lived with a sizeable slit around 2-3mm before on my rear detonators... noticeable if you forcefully flip it inside out...  i just took one of the tire boots from my birzman patch kit and stuck it inside covering the slit jus to be safe... and it ran for quite some time until the next couple of puncture luckily not over that area and all the way until the tire got worn down to it's kevlar layers...

it totally depends on you... if you feel that the peace of mind is important to you... then, it is money well spent... for me, worst case even if i forgot to bring a spare tube is to walk home from taman tun...

but frankly, every puncture will more or less create a small damage or hole on the tire... it is just a matter if you spotted it.. the only one that is not recommended to ignore is the sidewall damages... that has to be changed out as soon as possible...

here is what the tire boot looks like... not all patch kits are supplied with them...a thicker material and more tough to add another layer over the tire for temporary use...

in the case of birzman ones.. the boot is the bigger square piece with lotsa wordings...

that's weird.. I've done up to 70psi on my topeak hand pump before. (the words are so faded I can't tell which it is anymore, but its one of the rockets).

if u were with that same group that went the wrong way that I think you were, the last guy who decided to cycle all the way had done a total of 196km that day. and he was recovering from a hairline fracture on his ribs too.

good god... i dunno wat nuang is... but doesn't sound like a B2B massage to me...dun expect too much... you are not on EPOCERA.. you can't ride like those world tourdoperscyclist

your mates must be wondering why you are getting frisky with their pumps 

wow.. 100 bucks.. rather get my head bitten off by my wife...

dude..don't quickly jumpe and buy the fulcrum or whatever high end wheels available in the market. the difference is very marginal..

I agree if you would like to feel a difference in your bike upgrade, apart from a better carbon frame..wheels is the 2nd option. but trust me, it won't make you a better cyclist in terms of speed, or etc. you might gain extra 2-3kmh on your avg speed..but that's all.

as from my experience, i don't find my climbing ability suddenly increase after changing to a much stiffer wheels (from FR Comp to FR0)..nor did I found it easier to climb with.once you upgrade, it is very marginal in terms of performance you expected to have before you purchase.

just my 2 cents.

Had a rest day today. My leg feel abit painful after my previous 2 day 10km-ish ride. Is that okay? Is it sign my body will adapt to the changes?

never sit before aeroplane... online buy... count or not?

frankly... buat susah la..  bringing back the bike will pose a problem.. might have to buy the expensive carry case there to transport the bike... then you end up with no more warranty when you bring it back...

save a couple hundred.. but risk losing a lot in the long term

u goin there for a very long time? i am sure there is a lot of bike shops there.. especially london since they promote cycling very heavily...

holy shit.

im now just aware my favourite run with chicks mountain chicks sea are just 14 hours apart with my KOM race!

dammit! if i committed, after run with chicks race, need to depart immediate to Ipoh... dont know i will still can survive my KOM cycle up to Cameron Highland the next day or not...

Sigh...

Do i need to stock myself gatorate or equivalent energy drink when ride for 1 hours non stop?

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

drank berroca as my pre ride fuel drink 

Can i know is there any group of road cycling i can join?(newbie here)
heard that there is a group cycles from sri petaling to summit on tuesdays and fridays...
anyone from the group?

Happy Monday blue...

yesterday joint my old man group riding up to Fraser hills from KKB stadium...

felt something totally different oppose from my 1st ride up Fraser hills mistakenly where im cycled from PJ.

VOSP (Very Old Strong Person). i would admit the old man gang are fast... with average of 50 years old above...

Going up, feel good... not much sweat as i'm took my own sweet time... maintaining at speed 17-19km/hr until Gap.

while last 8km going uphills, followed old man pace... sweat as lot although the weather is cool and chill! really nice enjoyable ride!

coming down, it's was so cool, lucky some trick learnt from old man, put newspaper behind jersey in front body as wind shield! it's work very well...

Did 20km again today. My leg is so tired on hills area. Keep finding myself no streght to pedal when going up hills even with 25 cassate and compact crankshaft @@ Nearly stray out into random grass area when cornering when i enter the corner too fast.

Why my leg got burning sensation when going up hills? Build up of lactic acid?

I now realise cycling up hills is not easy as it seems  my place got alot of hills of many gradients. Guess it will serve me as place to train up my stamina 

i Think Sky-live ard 96kg w road bike, slick road Tyre 100% help, groupsets  maybe.
