proportional is more the word...

any physical object is not good for cyclist... whether it is it hitting you or you hitting it because of another object hitting you...

Bang Tofu, no pain
Tofu bang you, also no pain.

So, don't get banged or bang into or anything other than a piece or a truck load of tofu.

Simple as that.

apa mau saya reply...

hard to type on phone la... wait till i get back on a computer...

hate touch screen and auto correction wants to screw up everything i type

rodalink has some schwalbe, can't remember if it is lugano or durano... available in 700 x 25 for under 80 bucks i think..

else, like they say... go with contis...

wats with the american classic wheels? i've called them and mail them before in the past... no answer calls and never reply mails...

is it because you harassed them too many times without buying anything?

hitting... as in physically hurting whacking, slamming the bejesus out of you, physically torturing,


i, on the other hand choose to deploy emergency air bags... which means to find some 36DDs to land on

oh! you meant this post... sorry la i overlooked... on the verge of getting specs adi... anyway, you answered yourself...

what you looking to get??? i liked the sprint wheels... light and still having high spoke count... i think it costed RM1.5k years back.. not sure if they still have it now...

i guess it is the mentality of winning at all costs... would anyone say that Ayrton Senna isn't a blardy arsehole on the track based on his 1990 Japanese clash with prost??? would anyone say Michael Schumacher isn't ruthless on the track driving people off it and stuff??? yes, both off track they are great philanthropist and humanitarian... but they have the win at all costs mentality that always tarnishes their career..

in other more interesting twist.. would say Eddy raced clean in his career??? he did got caught doping in the giro and if i am not wrong 3 times over his career but was let off for 1 reason (1 of it was that he was framed) or another... and i also pointed that he was the one who introduced Lance to Ferrari and also he was consultant for Phonak during the 2006 Landis disqualification when his son Axel was the super domestique for Landis... it's just not enough proof can be found on him and he already has his legend status cast in stone by the time anyone wants to poke a finger on him...

so, in some way... you can pity Lance for having to put up guard on things that might threaten him and his career and i bet you it's no easy task to dodge and deny this allegations when everyone is envious and against his success... he did put on a fantastic show for us or those who did watch it... whether he did or did not did not do what he did, i guess i or some of us can at least thank him for the 7 years of entertainment...

and in a fair manner, during those years... it is very evidently that someone else is not racing clean as well... so it doesn't tell that Lance took the magic potion and did nothing to guarantee his performance... he trained as hard if not harder than some of the other guys who raced clean or dirty..

would other have stayed clean with the knowledge on how to dodge doping controls and organize a systematic doping system like Lance did??? i doubt it...it's the same thing as having an extramarital affair after you get married... 9 out of 10 men thinks of doing it, but it doesn't mean they have the guts to do it... the one who dares tempt his fate and gets success get envious looks from the other 9...

the Paul Kimmage clip is just an example of how someone got too close for his liking and got the full blown force of his defensive nature... whether Kimmage deserves what he took from the ATOC press conference is totally a question for another day...

so, trust none of this books including the ones from Lance... just read it as entertainment or a joke as this subsequent books inclusive of the L.A Confidential and 7 sins books by Walsh is just a whole load of bull spun by either vengeful people who envy Lance's success or just wants to sell the story for the $$$

at the end of the day.. no one is a saint... there is always an ulterior motive behind each person's action...

like that ah... maybe it's your luck that you just went to the shop when the person serving you is co-incidentally having their period on that day...i don't know what to say other than that...

i think you meant "refusal to serve"... refuse service is meant for the client... like "refusing service from the lady on your staff"...

most of the time i go... they come and surround like a pack of wolves and i for once like some "refusal to be served" myself...and i do a lot of KKCC-ing at the shops...

there is no such thing as a "level playing field" one way or the other... period...

champions are held up by their supporters and as most people would have found out by now... can be as easily dropped as quickly as their rise to stature... this is the nature of us human beings...

Lance and Woods to name a few...

by choosing belt drive... you are limiting yourself to singlespeed and fixie bikes...

haven't seen em here before... only the fixie guys would know if they exist in KL...

replacement belt would be my primary concern even if i can get one...

actually grease and oil is every where lar... as it is an essential thing in moving parts... eventually, it will ooze out from the freewheel mechanism from either a singlespeed or internal geared hub anyway unless you get a fixie...

internal gear also not cheap... saw those foldie buggers paying 4 figures for a complete set and you need their shifter some more...

hub with shifter lar... not sure if it covers completely building the wheel up or not?

foldies got nothing to play mar... can't blame em...

miao...

2nd grade lube? lube is lube... it is just brand preferential...

yes, most bike shop has it... for degreaser, you can use RP7 or WD40 to degrease if you are not willing to spend on those Pedros citrus degreaser or muck off products...

lube, as i say is preferential... but typically there is 2 types... wet and dry... wet for wet as in MTB type of mud and grimy wet which is usually stated or just riding in rain and stuff... dry is for dusty conditions and stuff like that...

try 2 or 3 brands and see which one you like and then stick to that...

take out your





or


and your wish is granted...

you, blardy eagle eye...

i dunno if wiggle has em... but money solves every problem... if can't buy online... MAS is your good friend.. just buy some paper that will get you into some plane of some sort and fly like a free bird to where rolf prima is sold on dry land...

Well, Lance is who he is... we wanted a champion's champion and he gave us that from an entertainment perspective...whether his actions are morally or ethically correct??? that is not for us to judge... we didn't race against him and we definitely did not fund his team or pay for his salaries... neither did we donate to livestrong....

Alfine 11 speed... might as well buy a motorbike lar.... how much would the bike cost at that point... heard it's not a cheap set...and furthermore, not yet available...

laundry detergent, the powder type is bad news... can cause your chain connecting plates to rust if you don't dry it nicely... not sure why... maybe due to the soda bicarbonate or something like that...

no one asked you to shoot WD40 into your bearings mar... your freehub bearings is already hidden behind the lock ring which is hard to get to... so getting WD40 there must be very intentional...

any automotive oil is too thick to properly lube the chain links lah... even 0-20 viscosity... stick back to bicycle chain lube and be more diligent in cleaning and relubing is the best...

play, re-arrange the sentences...

you are one ballsy dude... destroyed 2 air stewardess and have no repent for it...

also money can solve...

he is not a wheelbuilder lar... jus go wheelbuilder.com and sumbat your card...

cheap lube is singer oil... not great unless you like dirty oil dripping over your chainstays...

tats like saying everytime you have sexy time, you feel the love of




they do have expiry dates you know... i meant,

i think it's how your lube is lar... nothing to do with over lubing...

it just gets dirty damn fast or you didn't wash your chains cleanly enough...

i use lots of rp7 and scrub it with those "abalone brush"...

RP7, soak, scrub, rinse,
dish washing detergent, scrub, rinse again,
RP7 again, scrub, rinse final time

scrubbing has to run the brush through the top of chain, bottom and also the both sides of the lingkage plates (1 time against cassette, 1 time against small chain ring)

the 2nd time you spray the RP7 should be very clear, not blackish liquid dripping from your chain... it's a lot of wastage... slightly oily to touch after wash, but quite clean for me...

clean wat? my eyes?

i thought condo got space to wash car in parking area??? tak boleh guna itu?
