Yes...it's the same type of drop in gauge. It says on the gauge if the gauge drop in fully, it's more than 1% elongated.

I think I will go for durability..there's not much weight difference on the super light version. Looking at it, they should be same material only that they cut some material out from center of each link to make it lighter. Thus reducing rigidity and durability compare to the standard chain.

last time on 8 speed chains...it used to be 12mm in between links... once it gets pass that, it is no good...now, not sure....

does the manual say what it meant by more than 1%? or does it recommend you to change immediately? if it says so, then you should change it as soon as you can whether it is 6 months or 6 years of usage...

it says baking, cleaning & deodorizing.. not performance enhancing...

don't think it is good for health in any ways...


Added on December 12, 2012, 9:51 amit could be performance enhancing in washing his jersey or bibs... but not in improving his lactate threshold...

ahh.. apologies. where did my manners gone.
I'm based in Klang, basically been doing some outdoor sports, trekking, running, swimming etc.
Then i thought hey..why not try triathlon. and then i realised..heck i've not cycled since school days when i owned a road bike more than 10 years ago.

I'm interested both at mountain/road bikes and considering i've not own either and not tried them, i thought why not i just get a starter bike n go n try with it. only to realised..blardy hobby is as expensive as owning a car!
bikes goes up to 5 digits investments! starter bikes starts at 2k!!! (for a moderate good starter bike)

so i want to sought help from you seniors to help me kick start my journey to burn my wallet.

baking soda memang salty. that bubbly thing is baking powder, for baking cake and other delicious dessert brows.gif
baking soda is very cheap, i think rm1.50 only for 500gram. Also known as sodium bicarbonate.

i googled soda doping. it says it is good to neutralize lactic acid when working out. just wondering if anyone has tried it?

it has nothing to do with manners... he is jus yanking yer chains.. wat do ya think we are... FBIs or the CIAs... we are not interrogating criminals...

in simple, you get what you pay for lar...no doubt the entry fee into the club has increase over the years thanks to the rich fools that buy expensive wheels and bikes (you can blame the shit out of them for putting us in this shit hole, i bet their money also dun come in legal ways)... the guideline is always to have a wee bit of money more than what you are willing to spend and don't scrooge on the bike.. you get too el-cheapo one, you end up not satisfied and a possibility of not being able to sell it off to fund the next bike...

i'd say, a safe margin would be RM4k limit for 1st bike if you want to get something that can last a wee bit longer and is not too overly expensive and not overly cheap...

getting an RM2k bike, you have to understand if you are the "gatal" type??? after getting a 2k bike, you have a high possibility with some of us bastards here poisoning your ass into spending senseless amount of money into upgrading the bike... after you are done with that, you feel something is out of sync when you have a improperly matched frame and components... then you go one step further into carbon territory and start your filing for bankruptcy move...

it's always hard with the first bike because you don't know what you want yet... it's either you end up like us poor bastards trying to scratch our head and balls at the same time trying to figure out this thing that is as complicated as life or which color your GF likes for that new prada wallet you are trying to buy her... or... you fork up RM15k and let the bike shop salesman talk you into buying crazy stuff and become a statistic for us to blame for jacking the costs of cycling up...

you choose, poor ******* or the bugger who sneezes whenever someone asks of buying a new bike??

i am no anna olson.. but i watch TLC @ 707 on Astro, OK...

how can soda be salty and not make a cake salty? and doesn't salt make yeast die because they only like sweet stuff.. make cake no rise right???

anyways, anna olson didn't describe in excruciating detail on whether soda is salty on TV... neither did she sniff it like a seasoned drug junkie...

does it occur to you we are arguing like housewives here.. let's drop the subject on the saltiness of this shit..

soda, lactic acid??? i don't want to end up like this...not saying it will, but high chances...


so, that makes it the cheapest drug isn't it?
