Tarmac frame twitch? Heck no, its one of the stiffest I had ever used, confirmed by Bike Radar.
In fact compared to my Pina and Colnago, my SL3 is a dream to ride for long distances. Very pacy, stiff and lite enough to help me climb ok.

Not frame twitchy. I mean the handling is twitchy. Comes what may, i will visit ghs this march, and everything will be decided tongue.gif

Can anyone suggest me a mountain bicycle budget around rm800 . thanks

RM800 is a bit hard... you have to look for those XDS or Oscar bikes which not much people will recommend for serious ownership...

small surface tyres lose grip not because of aquaplane. instead, because the friction is less due to wet surface.
*
which means a layer of water between tire and road... the basis for hydroplaning...

well, this is going to be endless... let's assume that it won't happen and it is never gonna happen to any of us...

just don't ride wet and shit won't happen....

frame cannot be twitchy la... it is always the entire bike... wheel to wheel ma...

frame itself can twitch without affecting the wheels is going to be god damn weird...i'll consider chucking the bike away...

u must be damn persuasive to get that...or you're a pretty girl which they want to be around for longer...

expect no less than 4 figures... RM1.5k would be safe... you can ask the MTB thread.. i am sure they have lots of recommendation...

haiyah... don't ride lar...

you can't prevent a little chicken from also rushing home popping across the road without looking left and right causing you to pull the brake lever all the way to the bar drops mar... you still end up face planting yourself...

don't ride also less change to kena rain and fall sick...

shallow wheels has always been nice looking...just takes you the right chance to see one that catches your eyes... 202 height of 38mm is my personal limit... would never like anything beyond that...
