I'm not going to take that on. I'm laying down on that one.

RM4k definitely can get you 105 shod bike providing you don't aim for the big brands like Specialize, Scott or BMC.

can't recall who has EMC in KL... but it is definitely available here...

this are not in KL....

I think cycling messes with your knees equally as fast or bad as running. In fact, running actually promotes good bone health if your running posture is correct. The impact from running actually encourages higher bone density provided you have the adequate amount of calcium and stuff needed for good bone health.

it's the same function lar bro... jus a big more plasticky and slighty heavier if you are not too picky...

you willing to part with your money??

if overtensioned... the spoke will fatigue faster as it was not made to handle that much stress, there is possibilities that either the nipple will crack and let go first or the spoke might snap (most of the time at the elbow or the spoke head)

under-tension on the other hand might promote freeplay on the spoke holes of the hub if they are not made to have tight tolerances... this also will wear down the spoke elbow and break some time in the future after extended use...

i won't happen immediately... most likely things you'll know after months and months of usage and depending on how you ride...

cosmetic damage... don't think you need to worry that much...

if you hit it with your finger and it sounds different or like a slight cracking sound over the affected area comparing with area around it which is undamaged... then you might have a worry...

USD180 is not for everything... depends on what you buy... the more you buy, the more expensive it gets.. i think they calculate it based on weight... so, it makes no sense to group buy from this sites...

it'll be safer... it's not too minimal and it's not too much...

you won't get all spokes there if it is not a new wheel...

i think that is tipping 4k if you get it from KH or Uncle Tan's shop...no wrong trying to survey there though...

outside, if it is available... maybe under RM4k...

Giant, Polygon, Merida, Fuji is the ones that is most likely making 105-mixed alloy bikes under 4k...

all this talk about 4k makes me think about this 110 inch 4K LED TV from CES... mmmmhhhhmmmmm....

having shift indicators tells other people that you are amateurish...

i like shift indicators though...

if give away free rapha apparels.. maybe lar...

else..

he ain't no alberto contador.. not interested...

no internal routing is not a real problem... it's not a real big eyesore anyways...

actually... the cables becomes a place for you to hold onto if you are riding on the flats... sort of like an aero extension that is flexible...

don't get what you meant by that...

i always do that when i was using sora last time... don't understand what i should be understanding....

you can take the asymmetric R440 rear and normal R440 front... and why not DT Aerolite since the entire set is already built mostly of DT parts...

i personally like the RR465 which used to be called the RR1.1 if i am not wrong... it has double eyelets which is a bit more tougher at the expense of weight... i'll pair mine with a RR415 front and RR465 rear if i were to purchase mine... the rim is only 1.6mm narrower than the RR440...

apa kaitan ngan six packs???

What is terrain? As long as not off-road... anywhere you can use it (doesn't mean you can abuse it)
Weight limit? Usually this sort of low spoke count wheels should handle rider weight limit up to 180 pounds no problems... zipp states 250lbs but i doubt it (http://www.zipp.com/wheels/303-firecrest---carbon-clincher/#)
Spoke count? Where can choose? It's dictated by Zipp which is 18F/24R
Tires? Anything would do as long as it suits your wallet. Corsa Evo CX if you can afford or GP4000s if you can't and Maxxis Detonators if you really have no money. The zipp wheel is not going to send you a rejection notice whatever you put on it
Tire size? It's made to fit 23c optimally, 25c will fit still nicely if you can find them.

you pro mar.. we noobs only

don't flip your bike upside down.. problem solved... that is why portable bike stands are invented...

yup... the 240s will shovel 2.5k easily out of your pocket in malaysia.. i saw the retail tag of RM2.6k from orbea.. although it was the MTB disc hub version

you sure uncle tan got your length or not??? you better check with them on what length is on your wheel and then find out with uncle tan first... bladed spokes don't have that much room for you to cut and re-thread oh.. if he doesn't have it.. better order up spares of each length.. should mostly involve 3 lengths..

nope.. the wheels are designed to be wider as it will let the 23mm sit much more snugly especially tubs... 25mm although is not what it was designed for.. but it will sit much better on the zipp wide rims rather than conventional 19-20mm rim width of most other wheels...you get better contact interface between the tire hooks or adhesive face with the rims....

comfort comes with pain...pain of not being able to find the tires...

it's like aerobars only mar.. just rest on top of the handlebar and use the cables as guides... haha

it's a matter of getting used to it... frankly... there is no use for that except when you are riding on the flats at considerable speeds...

minimally 1... but since it's so far away and shipment charges are crazy high... i'd keep as much as 3 to 4 piece per length.. you can keep less spokes for the front wheel as the risk is lesser on the front wheel and it uses same length both sides...

yeah.. but that is still 1 choice only... 23c can be found in multiple options mar...

not something you can notice on a daily basis... there is pros and cons to both choices... either one still works just as good...

it is a matter of which you believe in...

23c

both aesthetics and speed often go in opposite direction...

isn't it very obvious?

without a doubt.. until a day where all the pundits start buying other wheels.. i don't see zipp facing any stiff competitions...

furthermore, they are being backed by 2 rather big distributors here in KL.. GH and Ngee Cycle..gives a bit of calmness to your nerves in case either one goes out of business...

need down tube shifters?
