Pardon me saying, looks a little like horse fodder but your preparation is top notch, I can never cut aluminum foil perpendicular on all sides. With that and all, I will take this anytime over those gel or energy bar. Really nice!)

Did you buy the S-Werk and swab the components? I have the same wheel, Mavic Kysium Elite. Did you safe some weight on the Hub?
Like the red spook, maybe can get a pair together with the hub later myself, if I have your consent due to copy right?
My bike 2011 model looks mundane, same color scheme, black and white. Need a little makeover.

Oh.. I see, aluminum spoke.. Must try uncle "bohchap" if I can get the red spoke. Copyright ..joking onli.

This counter balance looks damn sui, just like a gurl wearing red lipstick, so kissable.
My bike so dull leh...like old hag, in need of makeup.

Forgot to introduce myself. I am a newbie, and I mean it. First few month after buying my rd bike, I treat it like a trophy and gather dust for months. Why, the clipless shoe to daunting for me. Scared fall down, very painful and worse still, malu..sial.
Till now, only done 200 odd kilo.

My story on how I started.
Initially wanted to buy mountain bike, but stock not arrive for more than 2 months after ordering one at unker's place. I visit on and off, got poisoned deeper somemore. Then one day, one damn Sui Jarbo brought along a Cr1 team, and packing it up for England to study and ride over there.
Then I think got potential for plenty more classee chick in the scene. So I also wan a bit of the action, and simply hantam one hangging on the rack of my size. Converted straight away to rodie after encountering the poison kind.

Then problem, no sidi shoe for the size I wan, another 3 months down the rd, shoe arrived, new problem, no c.chick around to give me confidence, i was day dreaming that, no matter how weak my legs are, I think i cannot be too far off from the ladies, right? I am dead wrong, my first outing, a simple slope also got my leg muscle throbbing and want to stop leh.
So a blessing in disguise that I didn't follow unkle's invites on one of his ladies infested rides... Or else kena pui!
So end up, my bike collecting dust at home after my maiden ride.
Wan more stories from newbie like me?

Oops...just realize my typo error, I mean 200 km in all for my previous post and not Kilo.

Broga TFDB, (too far don't bother)..la from the headmaster BH.
How about bak ku teh ride to Klang then? The motivation is free bak.. Under the bridge, ok?

Question from a noob.
What is ideal tyre pressure for roadie and what is the no go range and need to to up? Too lazy and hand tired to pump almost every week.
Again noob question here, I have a leg/hand pump, having difficulties in doing it right, either the air won't go in initially or getting the inlet valve wrong and air leaking. Can get it done eventually, but are there any ritual that I'm missing?
How difficult (strength wise) and dangerous, cars and clip less shoe problem if has slot of stopping waiting for traffic.
Really fancy a Sunday morning Bak ku teh ride to Klang, anyone interested for the future?

My tyres Conti Ultra 700x23C. Bike and body weight at 70kg. 40:60 configuration for front and rear. From the help and assistance from the chart. My new tyre pressure will 65 and 105 psi. Sounds ok?

Hello LRRH, nice choice for choosing Scott Cr1 comp. Good price point considering it is one of the sponsors for UCI team bike for 2012 and '13.
What is the total weight of the bike including pedal, did you get your Lbs to weight it,just for the know?
I didn't weight mine when I first bought it,so I wouldn't know what's my bike's actual weight is. Recently, I weight mine with my bathroom digital scale, it shows 7.8 kg +- 200 grams including lights and tube cage. Not a weight weenies myself.

No upgrades for the near or distance future? As it is, my bike is grossly under utilized.

Where are all the Newbies, past, present and the future? Share your experience la, dun have to be technical from these masters here. On the other hand, simple story are good motivation for noob like me.. If you put a gurl into the picture, so to speak, some more best.

Any organized rides to somewhere coming up... ah?

As a noob, my idea is to have fun, enjoy the scenery, and breakfast after that. Relax will be the priority.

Tai Kor, great motivation to ride....but hot gurl, scenery, rides, all this combo can be achieve sitting on my arm chair...wat. Thats why my bike really under use and continue to be under use.
Bonus video some more damn good one, spend my biking time watching it over and over again until battery kong, leaning Hokkien lingo... Kan na sai.
TK, you speak many language and many dialect..ah? But i think your England is so powerful wan, why, r you are writer ah? Just being busybody.

TK means Tai Kor referring to Butthead where he is veri witty, never fails to amuse me. I think I will refer to him as TKTT.

We are same curry redang 1, except just ultegra and M.Kysium elite wheels.

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!

Can you please be a little more innovative with your suggestion ..ah? Thought hard about it oledi long time ago, super glue, rubber band, DST, you name it, oledi out thought you, sifu!

I think you have over c0ok your innovativeness, imagination, what Blain or Cyril? I rather stick with double side tape.

Oakey lens other power, one?

Added on November 25, 2012, 4:51 pmSell, 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!

Why? Pasang V Kool ah?

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