Dun forget to take my existing cateye in to consideration, ok?. anything that tickles your fancy will do lar... miao already taruh his poison mar... if you have to balls to go further.. get the color version edge 800... what to consider with your cateye... not like it can be upgrade by plugging in extra modules....find some water fish and see it away while it is still worth dua kupang... QUOTE(miaopurr @ Nov 26 2012, 07:12 PM) maybe this? that lower left hand screen is going to land him into an RM7k debt...just pretend never saw that screen.. QUOTE(minizian @ Nov 26 2012, 09:28 PM) Btw I use my crank bro multitools to put the pedal in? is enough to prevent the pedal from loosen? I used all my strength to tighten the pedal to the crank even if you are not worried about safety.. i still doubt if you have enough strength to tighten the pedal compared to a pedal wrench...and you didn't grease the threads... bring it back to shop and ask them to grease and reinstall it for you...

On my way Senior Member 593 posts Joined: Feb 2005 From: Highland, Texas	still, get them to tighten it up... a less than 10 cm allen key will not produce the same torque as a 0.5m pedal wrench... if it comes lose, you risk un-threading your crank arm...

I think my cateye will go to my museum or on my spare bike. I remember reading, it cost a nucleur bomb for the Power watt reading, abunden I saw top salesman with the screenshots, I was ..eh this not suppose to happen, rite! Anyway is it the "Edge 500"? Veli important must have gradient reading ho? Maybe I have to live with bread and air koson for the rest of the month to ge it. tat is why... dun ask for wat u cant afford... miao is very heavy handed on this... yes tat is the edge 500, it is the defacto standard now... gps logging, alti, hr, speed, distance, user configurable display, ant+ support all in for a sweet 1k with some loose change for a mcvalue meal... else the sigma has one tat has alti, speed, distance, hr but no gradient calculations for a handier rm400+ edge requires constant charging while the sigma uses coin batts tat last around 8months to a year as i say, it depends if gradient makes sense to you, much like hr...if u dun find a use for it...why go out of the way to get it... i dun even wear hr strap now even i have it... neither do i watch the gradient reading as well... just need it to track my trip climbs Added on November 27, 2012, 1:24 am QUOTE(miaopurr @ Nov 27 2012, 12:22 AM) big money.... big money..... boss, bonus for me plzzz? almost year end now Added on November 27, 2012, 12:25 am why not just hunt for torque wrench set? Added on November 27, 2012, 12:29 am yes, edge 500. and it has gradient data. and of course u will need to survive on bread and plain water for many months. but it's worth it. because skimping on bike stuff purchases is too mainstream. Added on November 27, 2012, 12:31 am cool! jealous much! sell an edge with srm crank wan bonus already, sell a cervelo r5 california i mah shop also have to give u? torque wrench tak da guna for pedal, it needs brute force and thise force usually exceeds the 5nm torque of carbon parts... u end up have to buy 2 torque wrench... 1 for big torque and the other for smaller more finer scale... will cost a bomb pedal wrench can tighten easily with long handle and less risk of messing the octagon hole on the pedal with this much force... save wat lar... there is such thing as installments nowadays bro call 755 2525 to check it out...

On my way Senior Member 593 posts Joined: Feb 2005 From: Highland, Texas	QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Nov 27 2012, 12:09 PM) Monsieur Butt, Edge 500 or 800, don't think there will do it for me, because you make more sense them the stupid computer, and clever salesman- i don't mean Miaopurr kor. Since I am not into competition, all the data in the world will not make me a stronger rider (just me). Must get my ass on the bike and feel like the Polkadot holder of my fief(Sri D'sara). So far no challenger in sight, for my self proclaimed title With the money of a e500, I can buy 50 pitch reader from the hardware store and attached the lever to my top tube. Btw, what is your steepest inclination that you have done so far in terms of gradient % on a 25/39? Or your max out threshold? Added on November 27, 2012, 12:16 pm Butt TKTT, ass kissing pitch! , you have invitation tickets to dish out, ah! or you been invited? Sifu, What is it all about, Dopers A.S. gracing the event, ah? well, each to their own... you never specified a budget wat as i said... the sky ze limit... on the other hand... there is this little baby..i saw it on ebay last time... almost wanted to buy it... but waste a lot on space on the handlebar... http://www.amazon.com/Sky-Mounti-Inclinome...ds=inclinometer http://www.skymounti.com/html/gb.html Merida had a meter that is cheap and packed with functions... looks something like this but white and green color..looks like an edge 500 rip off in terms of the interface has alti and gradient for RM350 i think... spend a bit more and you get HR as well.. my gripe about it is that the dual cadence speed sensor is very unreliable... but the thing is cheaper than the sigma bc2209mhr... 25/39??? never really tried... the ones ridden before... i think around 23% max i've seen on my max gradient before... the ones can't climb.. i think about 27% (just walked up by foot)...at sungai penchala.... no tickets lar... even if i get a ticket.. would not be able to afford the air ticket...

It does not take up space la, it just a little bugger like an oversize ring only. You shold get one too, and let's organize a group buy, ok? Technology from Germany too, worth it, sup sup sui. Just use it for reconnaissance ride only. The rest of the time wear it on your middle finger, pointing up! have to watch out... there are different size and this is 26m only....you need oversized 31mm...

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Nov 28 2012, 12:41 AM) it beats the sole purpose of foldie. apa punya policy laaaa sked the train emergency brek because kena potong line and the bikes lunge in front and decapitate 20 passengers lar.. you know lar... lala jai train drivers... sure tailgate each other to death on the track one... QUOTE(hycl90 @ Nov 28 2012, 12:44 AM) http://www.myrapid.com.my/news-events/medi...r-free-campaign Khairani said: “We at Prasarana are all for efforts to promote programmes to encourage to have less cars in the city and reduce carbon emission; hence minimizing air pollution. One way is by encouraging more people in the city to cycle and use our LRT to commute,” said Khairani, adding that folding bikes are permitted to board the LRT. The current ruling, however, only allows owners of folding bikes to use the LRT outside the peak hours; from 9am to 4pm on working days; and after 7.30pm onwards. “The ruling is in the interest of the other commuters during the peak hours when the trains are packed. The sharp ends of the bike parts can cause injury to the other commuters in case the train makes emergency stops. We also don’t want the dirt on the tyres to smear on our other passengers. That’s why we have implemented the rules,” Khairani said, normal bicycles can be parked at the LRT stations at the bicycle racks. makes sense... you don't want to see some youtube videos about a cyclist brawling with an 80 year old lady because the cyclist got some chain lube on her LV bag right?

On my way Senior Member 593 posts Joined: Feb 2005 From: Highland, Texas	QUOTE(snowfire64 @ Nov 28 2012, 01:18 PM) Hey all, So I managed to narrow down my frame purchase to the sl2 and willier. (not sure which wilier, forgot. hoping its cento uno). the spez is around 500 more expensive b4 discount (don't know if can get one) than the wilier. Specs wise, which one is better? Color wise both are about the same. Tq. is the cento uno cheaper than the older sl2??? which year was it from? cento uno has 1 problem... integrated seat mass, if you decide that you no longer want to own it and want to sell it off... you are screwed if you cut the seat mass too low... a resale point of view...
