too much dope may cause hallucination

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...

Added on December 6, 2012, 10:56 pmlooking for something that's
- classic looking. nothing fancy like lynskey
- sloping geometry
- replaceable hanger
- external headset
- normal bb
- race oriented
- titanium
- use seat collar (not like cinelli xcr)

if u find something like this, let me know please. thanks boss

guru praemio is one option. but the shop selling it here says, they don't do measurements for custom build. if want custom, the customer will have to give them the dimensions. what lah

A worn out tyres will give you less rolling resistance..so I guess using my gp4000s on a trainer will make it much faster on the road?

Interesting read btw:

http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2012/12/how-...-of-your-tyres/

9 hours from Kuching. Seems like somewhere in bintulu? Im in Miri and there are a few nice shops here.

If u want some polygon in ur price range go to LeRun which in near Imperial Mall.
You can also find some exitway(There's other expensive bike here too) beside Dave's Deli near Imperial Mall too. The one beside Dave's Deli i'm not sure whats the name and it has another branch in Lutong but im not sure where. Never been there.

I bought my Merida at Hiap Ho near Boulevard shopping complex. Slightly over 2k. This shop is nice. Lots of awesome bike. Lower floor Malaysian bikes, upper flower international brands.

And there's a shop somewhere in Permyjaya that sells XDS which is cheap but im not sure about the quality. That shop also sell other brands like Trek etc.

For u to window shop all these shops i think u need at least 2 days.

List of bike service in my lbs package, total cost is RM290...worth it or not? It's more costly than my car service back in Malaysia..but with 7 mechanics in the workshop, we still need to make an appointment to book a slot for the bike service.

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...

what i mean by classic is, just round tubes. nothing twisted like helix tubes. something like moots.

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...

Added on December 7, 2012, 9:40 amah cheh... that is not classic... you call that freakazoid tubing...
