under RM100 i think is very hard unless you wear kids helmets...

i saw a merida one for RM100 or RM140... not fancy... but provides basic protection..

personally for me... no more than RM300 unless you really can't find a suitable size...

i love my head... but i love my wallet even more.. anything past that is more form over functionality...

It's more for enthusiast cyclist.. not for commuting purposes.

It is similar to straps (without the straps) where your foot is more secured to the pedal among the multiple reasons... it also allows you to practice a more perfect pedal stroke rather than just pushing down on the pedal alone.

sort of normal... you can reduce the squeal by toeing in the brake pads

this being said means that you will cause uneven wear on your pads

Is this a paradox or what? Clipless shoe means shoe with clips.  rclxub.gif explain boss Butt-Head,pls!

did i say shoe with clips... i mean straps...

in the old days pre clipless pedals, riders used to use straps which is an inconvenience as they needed to fiddle around to get strapped in and emergencies are practically a no brainer confirm hit the ground case..

that is up until clipless pedals came along in the form of the first pair of look worn by no one else other than the badger himself..

I already have a rear blinker but that is to dangerous for me facing the on coming traffic.
I am going to buy front lighting for this purpose. Bosses here, should there be any particular area of lighting gear to look out for and also to avoid.

you can get those handlebar torch mount for like RM12.. that way you can reuse any LED torch you have or buy an LED torch and it will serve as dual purpose for house no electricity or maybe go hiking...

Just want to ask you guys opinion.

Should i cycle back home from my university ?

I live in Ampang and my university is at Bangsar.

Should i or should not ?

What do you guys think?

Btw, just a heads up, my bike is Raleigh Diablo Pro.
*
if you are afraid, don't do it...

if you are not, do it at your own consideration...

ampang is rather far though.. and if it rains especially like this 2 months... chances of you getting drenched is high... still ok on the way back... but going to uni... defiintely a no-no...

QUOTE(yolk @ Nov 30 2012, 07:21 AM)
Planning to get some bike shorts over the weekend. How do I know which padding is good and which isn't ? Also i've been doing some research and it's recommended that riders lube the padding and nether region before putting on the shorts to reduce/eliminate chaffing especially when doing long rides .. ermm what kind of lubes to use and is there other generic brand/makes that can be used that cheaper compared to getting it at the bike shop ??

Thanks
*
there are chamois cream that you can buy from bike shops... not cheap though... cheap alternatives is actually vaseline petroleum jelly but being not water based will be harder to wash off...

i heard those baby diaper cream works too... but never bothered with it anyway...

padding is personal preferential... there are foam, gel type pads.. and then there is those one piece, contour type or anti microbial... lots of choices and you will only know after trying on a pair or two which type you like...

ok thanks. Will have to compare those really expensive ones with cheaper ones to see the difference in the padding. Might just end up with whatever that's on sale firstĀ  thumbup.gif

Not a chance..but roadpee is another story. Pros do it, during major tours, away from watching eyes. For ladies tour, crouching tiger?

it's not an easy thing to pee on the bike...nuff said..

dun try those professional style peeing, or muscle flexing on the bike... very bad outcome... i am the victim of the latter one...

safest way too pee... and you contribute back to nature...just make sure no pretty chicks is looking..

you must think it's a water bottle isn't it???

armstrong supporter fat cyclist wrote an article on how to pee on the bike...which is off little relevance.. but if it fancies a try... should be interesting...
How To Pee Whilst Riding Your Bike

most pros just let fly on the go... you see teammates pushing them and then without doing anything.. they pee in their bibs like a baby pissing in the diaper...gross, but fast and effective.. and no chance of your snake being shown on facebook...

the one thing you should never try... or you end up looking like an alien who doesn't know how to fly a UFO...
