Guys need input: roadie odo already around 3300km now and the 105 chain is .75% stretch. lbs quoted me shimano 105 chain RM115.
Is that a normal price? Any idea KMC x10 chain good or not? Saw Ebay selling boxed version of gold color X10SL for USD52 with delivery... A friend suggested SRAM instead, hmm... Thank you. |

QUOTE(minizian @ Aug 23 2012, 08:42 PM) dude don worry lar. I am much slower at you. My avg speed is around 20km/h ish. Reading sucks cos the loop i doing usually have hills here and there. wtf he did say that?!?! look down on customers think 'this shoe very expensive you can afford or not'.....Yup that the guy, he  when i walk in to his shop and just straight away walk to sidi ergo 2 carbon shoe without looking at other thing. He joked to me "u know this shoe is very expensive one you know".  The price of the shoes in his shop are much more cheaper than the "sales price" in aussie. I cant wait to wear it once i clocked 1000km  so how much is the shoe here compare to in aussie? no need think more just use the clipless now, doesnt matter 100 or 1000km, me after 3000km only go clipless also have a near fall situation after using for few rides.... totally forgot was wearing a clipless, fortunately was going slow and managed to unclip by force just in time... |

QUOTE(vin_ann @ Sep 21 2012, 10:02 AM) other than the brands mentions above, Alloy frame Giant TCR SL series also come with FULL 105 groupset. A thing to take note whether they offer FULL 105 parts or not. During my journey looking for my 1st road bike earlier year 2012, Giant TCR SL2 2012 was one of the choices. TCR SL3 i got it for RM4.9k. Now not sure where have this stock anymore. btw, it's 7.9kg, superlight as advertised in Giant. Perhaps SL2 but i thinks price would be over RM5k. IIRC were quoted RM5k from both Samy and the shop in Setia Alam. Quite light @<8kg but the paint job was kinda rough... with 105 groupset and Xero X1 rim... Other choices were Hasa R1, Merida, Specialized, BMC Initially wanted the 2011 Scott CR1 cos I like the color but too bad no more my size.... At the end chosen 2012 Scott CR1 Elite with SRAM Rival and Mavic Ksyrium Elite 7.3kg @ slightly over RM7k, with this rim I do not think will need to upgrade anymore...well not in the distance  My advice: buy it sooner cos the longer you looking, the higher budget you will be putting in  |

QUOTE(leanman @ Sep 27 2012, 02:05 PM) Budget RM 4.5-5K IIRC Scott CR1 Comp should be slightly above RM5k, maybe more discount for year 2012 models as 2013 models coming out... light carbon frame and Shimano 105 components...Carbon frame. Any recommendation? Asking for a lady friend whom are new to cycling and so I myself. Thanks |

QUOTE(arashyie @ Nov 1 2012, 02:53 PM) What brand do you think is nice for <2k. I saw some really nice 2nd hand bikes in bicyclebuysell but my dad says he would only buy if he meet the person or the seller is a trusted one. And I live in Sarawak and most of the sellers are in West Malaysia. So if I were to buy one at a local store, what brand would you recommend. If you know some trusted sellers in bicyclebuysell pls introduce    Specs This post has been edited by ryan3721: Nov 1 2012, 03:45 PM |
