as you said... subjective...

me thinks it's flat out stupid... a tree branch flying into your spokes and then snagging your derailleur will cause you to throw your frame into the dumpster...

for the minor benefits a non-replaceable offers... not worth the risk..

over the years of riding.. it happened to me only once... and on a road bike somemore... had to swap hanger, RD and deal with a broken wheel because it snapped a pair of spokes on the way up...

don't underestimate tree branches...

i mean it's not going to be so easy to kena lar.. strike lottery also easier...

how i know maybe you really kena lottery?

you think ler?

why is the chick wearing a skirt to cycle??? make no freakin sense...


this two already the opposite... how to find lar li that... classic geometry must have no sloping top tube one...also no compact geometry... it's a man's bike...full sized..

when i see natasha romanoff without clothes or lingerie on... i might...

wat is the purpose of the girl in the picture??? photobombing??? i wonder if it is a pictorial about the bike and mechanic or wat...

what logic is that? it's like saying buy a new car tyre and doing burnouts until the tyre is flat so it saves fuel???

usually... people don't touch your balls (bearing) lar... so, it's an additional thing that they mostly don't do here... it looks like they are close to transferring frame with a service like that... with bike wash and polish as well.. haha

wonder what they meant with the cable and housing, expect you to buy new ones? it's hard to take out cables without fraying them...

that said, still a bit expensive for me...

how to regrease pedal bearings??? regrease the threads ada lar.. never seen people try to take out the spindle before... mostly take out that time already koyak...

you mean tubes?

school term ending... have to do some PR'ing to pull in new students for new school term next year...

because it is far apart or because it is way too big?

Added on December 7, 2012, 9:49 ami don't trust anyone to mess with my pedal spindles... it's the only one thing that is keeping me on my crank arm and preventing me from jamming my balls on the top tube...

itu maciam... fly to US holiday a bit bit while getting a new bike is a viable solution?

they have lots of titanium frame builders there...very custom and all the tubes are hand cut and hand mittered... and also hand jigged, hand assembled, hand welded, hand polished... and other than giving the bike a hand job... i don't know what hand they can give it anymore...


This post has been edited by butthead: Dec 7 2012, 09:49 AM

although not titanium... but i believe it's the same process except for the welding...




it's high quality hand job dude...

Added on December 7, 2012, 10:02 amwei... you manyak requirement ler... dun sacrifice a bit where can get??? like wan marry super model also must propose with 10 carat diamond ring right?? (i dunno how much is 10 carat, cincai cakap lar)

you can try ksh ttdi and see if they can produce the bike measurements for you.. but i doubt they have that level of expertise although they have the rig...

last time it used to be bike boutique where KH is now.. but they adi bankrupt... your best chance is to go singapore bike boutique and see if they still have frame fitting services...

very detailed one... takes 3 hours and they put you through a series of workouts and adjust the contact points up,down, left, right and center until you feel right...

then the measurements they usually don't have a frame for... hahahaha

it's a test of will lar dude...only the strong will survive...and the weak will, well.. get f@ked up and go into bankruptcy...

pretty girls is always everywhere.. it doesn't mean you have to go court every one of them...temptations is always going to be everywhere.. from trying to coax you to buy milo or apply your 6th platinum credit card to trying out the better sushi joint or the new honda civic...

jus like this, why is this mature girl wearing a duck suit and act like she is retarded? so, you'll buy her videos...



why is she taking a picture with such incriminating poses? so, you'll buy her videos..

if you can't resist temptation, you'll find yourself with 1900yen less in your wallet for a DVD that has no story line or logic whatsoever.. not even a musical score or a stunning direction or beautiful photography...

temptations is everywhere... it's their job to tempt you and your job to resist temptation..

in jail getting their drawers cleaned for money laundering...

pure co-incidence lar...

it could be a damaged sidewall in the first place and the casing could not hold it together... once the pressure forced the tube through the damage casing...that's it...

it could be a small slit from a stone, glass or whatever that could have caused the damage in the first place...

lucky you did not have to walk 45kms... or not only will you have to buy a new tire... you have to buy new cleats too...i walked 5kilos before and i obliterated my already used cleat in that single walk... should have just walked barefooted...

Added on December 7, 2012, 6:28 pmmy theory is that... as TPI goes up... the reliability of the tire goes down...yes high thread count gives you more suppleness and less rolling resistance... but due to the finer threads use to achieve higher thread count in a given area, the toughness of the thread is reduced...

you imagine, would it be harder to cut or puncture a cloth that is weaved out of fine yarn or thick yarn?


the fine yarn might make the weaved cloth more soft and flexible but due to lacking in diameter or thickness it is also easier to damage the yarn.. furthermore, with finer mesh, the protruding object has it's job cut massively in trying to find a easily penetrable route in the form of holes in between the weaves as the holes will no doubt increase with thread count...

on the other hand, the protruding object has to deal with less occurrences of the holes and more yarn which is also coincidentally thicker and harder to snag and break...i believe the fineness of the weave is the same between thread counts, but it is rather the factor of the thread that affects the puncture reliability...

just my personal rationalization lar, not proven at any point yet or supported by any facts...

it's a compromise between performance and reliability... you just have to weigh your options...

is it a case of sidewall blow out without any damages to sidewall?

or the sidewall got damaged and the tube tried to force pass the puncture sidewall?


both very different cases... the former one could be due to improper installation or a dented rim causing the tire bead to unhook from the rim and then the tube blows the tire outwards and then explodes...

no lah... how to use? already torn up until like that

the shop owner is worried about your back : )

talking of weird... you think yours is weirder than mine?

i have conti ultra sport 23 in front and maxxis detonator 25c at the back...

i ran both actually... the rear worn out and i could not find replacement.. took the front and bought it a new 23

it is tested to have lower rolling resistance due to lesser tire drop... and you can run lower pressure so iy rolls over road irregularites better improving comfort
