Ahaha..c'mon..I'm trying to convince myself not to buy a new bike..

In fact I need to make myself believe what I need is only a new wheelsets and not a new bike..

And perhaps a new grouppos too..saw the eps and da9000 on display. Sweet~

might as well get a new bike

nothing is ever satisfying dude, it's like sex addiction... look at what happened to david duchovny, pretty wife tea leoni and still had sex addiction and cheated on her...you can't say master yoda taught him the art of kamasutra or aliens messed with agent mulder's head because we, tea leoni and gillian anderson knows the aliens are fake and don't tell me tea leoni's privates smell like expired cheese...ok, sorry... derailed from topic

point is once you are in, there is no turning back especially with champion salesman like miao  cool2.gif ... it's like they say, once you go black, you won't...ok...sorry again.. wrong analogy...

as politely a word as i can tell you, "you are f@ked"  icon_question.gif

apa la u merepek ni.... ok i'll try to make sense of it..

"it's like they say, once you go black, you won't..." <-- what butthead's trying to say is that once u try spez venge matte black or c'dale supersix evo matte black, u won't look at anything else

"you are f@ked" <-- that means don't buy fake frames

"tea leoni's privates smell like expired cheese" <-- tea and cheese on crackers. yummy

How was the quality of the jersy from that maker? Its cost almost the same price as Champion system jersys which is really good.

Who suggested me to get a new bike and upgrade the old bike just for fun? I'm using my phone too lazy to scroll up...but seems like a damn good suggestion!

if i were u, i'd keep the old bike and set it up for flat route ride; deep wheel etc. and get a new spez tarmac sl4 and set it up for hilly route.

else for a cheaper price, some topeaks like joeblow sport is also quite good for its price... i like topeak for its easy to use twinhead although many complain about the valbes reliability...

avoid the twinhead models. pure crap. mine kapoot in just 6 months. a friend also got less than a year; two units! i'm loving my zefal husky

Question from a noob.
What is ideal tyre pressure for roadie and what is the no go range and need to to up? Too lazy and hand tired to pump almost every week.
*
u have to pump almost everytime u ride. pressure drop after maybe 2 days. what's ideal pressure? sheldon brown has some suggestions. pressure depends on ur weight, and front n rear have different pressure due to different weight distribution. another good article http://www.bikequarterly.com/images/TireDrop.pdf

i pump my front tire 7 bar, rear tyre 8 bar

the twinhead valve got replacement mar, at least if koyak can go buy a complete replacement set...

what's the point of replacing the head only to fail just after another 6 months? just get innovation brand. my innovation survived 2 years, and cheaper than topeak joeblow. now the head is worn out, i only use the innovation for my motorcycle and car.

it's ok with watever you get... with carbon, you just need a little more care...

be always watchful of where you place your bike or lean them on as a tumble and an unfortunate hit of the top tube against an edge would cause it to crack for example...

other things are all up to fate as you call it... most importantly enjoy riding and don't do stupid things on the bike..

a strong wind blew my bike on rear stand. i left it under my porch after washed it. scratched the top tube cry.gif

just finished servicing my freehub body. mavic's easy! thumbup.gif
