Horsie advocator, promotor, salesman and marketeer, Tuan Tuan dan Puan Puan, i got a serious Q: I bought riding shades, but never got around to use them again, problem is am myopic and I never touch any contact lens.
Any proper gadget where i can intergrade my  lenses or rather latches on to the shades?
Dun wan to missed out on any classy chicks, ladies, as I have utmost respect for them! cool2.gif

sell off the one u have now, buy a new one with correctional lens clip

or, sell it off, put a tint film on ur prescription spec

Sell, not sure people wants to buy, as it is unbranded, too eager to complete my riding gear then. Pay about 280RM for it. Come to think of it, I was hoodwinked by my own vanity.
Anyway, etched on the spec. say Halogyn PhotoMatic, didn't see any brand name.. Must consult with one of the sifus here if there are worthy to keep, not that it really bothers me.

If you happen to come across a rider wearing conventional spec. tats proly is me! tongue.gif

Why? Pasang V Kool ah?

is this yours?

Yes, Miaopurr Kor, what do you think? Is it any good?
I prefer my prescribe spec when riding, any time of the day!

don't worry it's a good brand. just sell it and get ur specs tinted with V-kool

Co2 is good. When ur tyre flat, it's pump up ur tyre within seconds. Off course, it's also depend on ur affordability ur experience. For me now, i will never use Co2 as it's expensive, the experience doesnt worth the experience. While my P2K member, he uses Co2, when flat, pressure free, change tube and press the Co2... and it's done, we continue to ride.

Co2 is use and throw and only can use ONCE.
*
a cartridge only costs rm10-rm15. and it's not like we get punctured on every ride. i've been using co2 for more than a year, and so far only punctured once.

even with the best pump, it's really hard to get the our tyre pumped to optimum pressure. unless u have these with you:

there is this dual pumps which has co2 and normal hand pump... but they are heavier than usual hand pumps and quite misses the point of using co2 in the first place...
*
i have one of those. not that heavy la. my crankbros handpump is heavier. if i'm out of co2 canister, i can always use the handpump function. also, it's best to bring patch kits on ur ride. i only bring 1 tube, 1 canister, 1 dual function pump, and some patch kits.

NKVE and NSE... prepare to be sounded by sirens...

NKVE and NSE are under PLUS

the gradient calculation has no use in actual fact... personally, i think at least 70% of the time it is a useless thing to have especially on routes that you have traveled hundreds of times... you practically know where it pitches up and flattens out by your knowledge of the terrain...

gradient does not calculate the immediate steepness where you are riding but the past 30 or 50 meters depending on the altimeter sampling rate and the speed you are traversing at... in fact, i think the data makes no sense to a lot of people...
*
i don't really understand the point of gradient data, other than just for info.

motorcycle lane does not equate to bicycle lanes...

in fact, i think you may notice some motorcycle lanes have sign boards that shows no bicycles allowed...

i don't think nkve or nse has motor lanes...they don't even have much room for emergency lanes let alone motor lane

i meant, bicycles are not allowed on PLUS hiways.

and those hiways with separate motorcycle lanes like federal n kesas. bicycles need to use motorcycle lanes.

2 circumstances...

one is to let you know what sort of steepness you just passed so that you can judge what is in front from visual perception...

the other is some situations where you are riding on false flats... and you somehow think you are on level roads based on visual perception which can sometimes play havoc when you are riding through lots of rolling hills and you find yourself taking lots of effort to ride or increase speed... the gradient lets you know that you are either inclining or running on flat lands...

sort of like the speed pace arrow.. just for altimeter...
*
if the legs are screaming, then the gradient must be going up. at that point, just scream back "shut up legs!" and continue pedalling.....

PLUS is important, it connects many negeri. Same thing goes to LPT.
A bit worry lah for West Side of Peninsular.
East Side got no problem with bicycle so far.
Maybe I should pusing pusing East Side first then all of them.

lockup then damn cialat...
worst case...abort and take bus home la..not like you are in hutan without water and food like that...

usually police will just sound you off and ask you to get out from the road as quickly as possible... out of their sight and area they control lar in other words...

if worry too much.. might as well sit at home...

as you say... be adventurous... part of the excitement of touring..you have to expect the unexpected.. how you know that even if police dun kacau... you might get roads that you planned to use flooded or land slide... you still need detour...those are times you either depend on luck of help from people in the area...

or they will unleash these pervs to pester and molest u. this might be the worst scenario
