i'm back... prepare to file for bankruptcy...

let's start off with something a little lighter...

a groupset change...

as we know... electronic shifting is just a hype, so, mechanical we go...SRAM Red 2012 -> RM5.5k... i think


throw out the calipers for a set of the ever cool and ultralight eebrakes -> RM2k


swap the Red chain rings with the TDF winning osymetric "oval but not exactly oval" rings


with all the crazy gear... how can you leave out the pit for cocksters (cockpit)... expect no less from the crazy germans and their composite products...



if you don't mind the price and the occasional visit to the hospital for accidentally lodging your carbon seat post up your a~hole...all in the sake of lightweight


if you prefer brand purity... ditch the eebrakes for an even cooler set of AX lightness calipers -> price? ball busting

Added on July 31, 2012, 9:44 amall this and compromise shifting and braking performance with a set of lousy cables... NO WAY!!!...

Nokon matched to Power Cordz...price? -> so cheap you won't bother asking



and how in freakin heavens can we forget the things that enables us to roll around... Lightweight is so yesteryear and mass produced... Zipp, Corimas and Fulcrums are too common...

a custom built set of Enve 1.25 laced to Dash ultra light hubs with white bladed spokes with full ceramic speed bearing upgrades from wheelbuilder.com -> expect no less than a ass whopping, brain blowing USD4k

70kmh in sempah??????   

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

ohhh.. ok... they say assumption is the mother of all fakups... now you know why 

still.. give it a check and see... you dun wanna be overpaying... maybe the price in kuching and KL is different and that is the reality that you have to expect... RM1.8k would get a sora equiped new bike here in KL at least i would say...
haha....can't believe the crap i wrote actually made sense to anyone, can't even understand it myself when i read it back... that's the blardy difference work does to you 7-8 hours later, brain turned into mash potatoes (waiting for the milk and lumps of butter to be poured on and stirred to creamy consistency, evidence that i am quite the hungry at this point in time of posting that i will gnaw on my own brain)

24mm and 31mm???... 7mm difference lar... a ruler will tell you that... jus kiddin..

as i say.. it all depends on what you ride more... flats or road going skywards? and choose your wheels accordingly.. that is why there are climbing wheels and aero wheels as differentiation... and a kind of wheels known as the "not up not down" category like the Zipp 303... not aero fully... but also not the lightest possible... and totally meant for the un-decided and fickle minded riders... or was designed by the bastards who are sick and tired of their mates always complaining of losing touch with the group due to bringing the wrong set of wheels to the wrong route... anyways... bike stuff is as confusing as women... i wish there is a instructional guide too... but there is jus none...  and that is plain frustrating... ain't it hard enough to court girls... now we have to deal with life choices when choosing a damn hoop??? WTF!!! (ok... too dramatic... tone it down)

if you find no clear directions.. jus go with the force your heart...

actually.... measurement always exists... like the recent MTB 29" / 29ner fad... and then the 27"/650b or something like that... jus those asswipes using different measurement system to make shit sound more sophisticated...

sheldon brown distilled quite most of his knowledge onto his site... he might be gone today.. but his knowledge new or outdated continues living in some server somewhere in "god knows where"

not the most techno junkie material... but... it'll do fine for now...

Did a Genting Sempah -> Bukit Tinggi Peak(Berjaya Hills) and back, estimated 800+ above sea level, total 40km. All i can say is the ascent is freaking nuts! 

Descent though is one of the best i've experience! 

have you tried broga loop?

what time do you usually finish your ride?
