from pressing with my numb fingers... the foam density is harder on the fizik hence the need for a longkang... the prologo has active density foam or some sorta shit li tat that helps without the longkang...
Interested to buy folding bike. Does anyone know the price range? Thanks
there is cheap "don't cherish your life" version... < RM500 > or better ones from Dahon's, Java, Tern, ORi, Birdy, Montague, Brompton to name a few from RM1k upwards to RM7k and still rising... depending on your budget...
this article is considered 'tl;dr'-ish for me. but sharing is caring
haha... looks like they are helping promote spez saddles... they are wide enough especially around the nose and they have multiple sizing... their saddles are also considered to be rock hard by the pansies...
and yeah... sitting on cookie cutter... assometer.. damon rinard rules..
the ask the engineer articles are very good in depth articles written by cervelo guys... i like especially the myth on modulus... proves that a lot of us don't understand CF..

A friend just showed me this video about Mt Baw Baw in Melbourne. It's apparently one of the harder mountains to climb and is classified as a Hors Category
huuu....700meters in 6k... 11% average gradient i think...
put this part only "QpC95lCsPjY" in the youtube tags...

good article. now need to make some homemade assometer.
i tried spez romin once, very supportive and comfortable compared to my arione, but the nose was just too wide.
make some agar agar and sit on it... after that, you can take it and stuff it at your GFs face and gross her out... make sure you don't wear anything when you sit on it... maybe it will leave behind one or 2 hair, even more grosser...hahahahahahha
yeah spez nose is wider and causes chaffing on the thighs for some people... but i like the wider nose...

sit on someone hands, let him/her tell you where it pleasure hurt the mostĀ
pleasure... that is not hard...you can go jalan alor to pay someone to do it....whether that she is a him or her, your luck lar dude... just hope you don't come out vomiting after finding out you got the wrong stuff...
you want to know where it hurts less... even easier, come and i will give you a kick up the balls... one time to the left and one time to the right... if it hurts, then repeat and do it more to the left and right and continue repeating until it no longer hurts...
results proven more accurate than assometer...

i know you guys are hardcore climbers but id like to share this Krabi Dragon Road. It goes like these continuously for 50 odd km. i faced this when i pedal from KL - Krabi recently hahaha. i think my peha about to drop goin up and down up and down
the rest of my trip:
cheerss
haha.. bro, after reading your blog.. i think you damn pissed at KL drivers...try going up gohtong jaya on a weekend from ulu yam... bet you be flipping the bird all the way..
your shiny head should be adequate in driving them off the road in opposite direction.. haha
but i do trust the statistics is right that, once a driver visually sees you wearing a helmet.. they automatically think that you are safer and hence, attempt something much more stupid with you...
the unfortunate thing..

not going to change the cassette. it's bearable anyway..time to build some iron calfs and thighs..i think there is one japanese rider with a steel bike, his gear is at the top tube...sweet ride..i'm a wheelsuckers..if butthead is here he'll be happy..so many chicks riding in front of you to motivate you to the rest of the ride.. i'm a happy wheelsuckers afterallĀ
TFDB is not enough to emphasize how much i don't bother in this case.. SF0FWG.. it has to be so far 0 f@cks was given...
we are are all wheelsuckers... maybe some of us suck onto the invisible wheels of our ghost rival...

Oh wise one. Do you find adjusting the real derailurs a breeze? Despite the YouTube sifu, somehow I still didn't get it quite right, frustrating la! Messing around with the barrel and limit screw, end up getting screwed deeper in trouble. Seems the gear hangs up a bit when shifting down and on the other hand, when shifting up, short rattling before getting it into the grove. How la like tat? Anything I can do or visit my LBS?
usually once you set the upper and lower limit properly it should be quite straight forward using the barrel adjuster to fine tune.::
else bring it to lbs as it could be something else like a bent hanger causing issues
no such thing as far as i know... cheapest i bought is like 45bucks still...unless u want to take those taken out from a new bike... then u can try nego with bike owner

contador attacks at the Vuelta this year..what a climber he is...monstrous lung for sure !!!
i dun think he can attack the steep stuff anymore like the climbs in giro and vuelta...at least not dropping his rivals...which is why he chose to tkae time on purito in one of the easier stage where coincidentally purito was showing signs of struggling as well
i Added on December 15, 2012, 6:49 pmbutthead, u on spez saddle? ever tried selle italia SLR before?
i am on the cheaper romin, previously on prologo nago evo ts before prologo have a big presence here... before that, san marco..
maybe selle italia could be next, or fizik...but i am liking the spez except for some creaking sound after a while

cannot imagine only have 2 shirts for 10days...how did you come back on return trip? by bus?
yeah, should do more while you still can... until things and commitment start tieing you down

i soap it if it is too hard, also good to use levers where you can hook onto spokes if you don't have an extra pair of hands around the house

hi, another newbie here. scouting around, and with +-2k budget, i found one that catches my eyes, merida race lite 900.. read the first post in v4, couldnt brain much from that! haha.. wish me luck.. (do tell me to reconsider if this is really a BAD choice!) thanks
p/s: can anyone be kind enough to enlighten me on the difference between merida ride and merida race series? compare the equivalent model and found that the only difference is the frame, but cant see what
it's not a bad choice... the race and ride series are built for different purposes... the race frame as the name states is a more racier geometry, it is built to be more compact with a lower head tube causing a bigger saddle to bar drop meaning you have to bend down a bit more..
ride on the other hand is the opposite of race in a more longer headtube so u sit more upright... basically it is a frame meant for more comfortable long distance riding and a mellower handling characteristic...
many bike brands do a simillar 2 frame lineup like this...
This post has been edited by butthead: Dec 16 2012, 12:17 AM
I am 172cm tall, so based on that, the frame range i should be looking at is "53cm, 54cm, 55cm, 56cm"
personally, no.. i don't think you should base your measurement on that..
currently, height measurement does not equate to a pre-determined frame size and neither does your inseam as the height of saddle can be adjusted more variably with the introduction of more compact - sloping top tube frames...a bike fit should however take into account the riders torso length, arm length and also their flexibility alongside their measurements of the lower body like inseam... which is why fit calculator starts off with 3 types of fitting to first find out what sort of riding posture you can or prefer to be riding on your new frame...
