Well I usually ask nicely stating my intent clearly, whether I am browsing, looking to buy now or looking to buy in the future. I dont see any reason for some of them to be rude in anyway, as if I robbed him of his precious time.

The refusal of service statement I cannot take, there is no excuse for it. Since you have opened a shop you should perform as such. I get so fed up with all this nonsense, plus its an offence to refuse service if you are a going concern here in Malaysia.  
Yeah most champions or champion wannabe are in your face plus ppl forget he is a red neck Texan ,by nature he is as such  laugh.gif

If you going into the subject of doping, who do you think in his period as champion is going to raise their hand and say 'I didnt dope or considered doping, I am and have been clean during that period'

Veer off topic......comparatively Lee Chong Wei does not have the stature to be a champion. I watched the games he lost to Lin Dan and have seen him drop his racquet hand on more then a few shots easy shots.

I rather watch some 2nd tier player giving his best on every shot then that guy.

I love MY COUNTRY, but we have no game because of this.

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...

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...

He may have the legs of a Keirin rider....SS (sounds nazi like) all the way for you man. You may be able to get a similar one locally...heavy emphasis on the word 'may'. It is after all a toothed drive belt.

I heart citrus degreasers.....there are locally made ones that come in commercial packaging.......no $$$ method is to use hot water and mix your cheapest laundry detergent.....use with an old tooth brush or old sink brush. cost next to nothing. If you want to dress it up...put it all in an old squirt bottle laugh.gif

WD40/RP7 can penetrate bearings and chain links. Be careful with the stuff.

Never have I known wet is for wet and dry is for ummm dry.....I always used dry since it does not make a mess, both for the cup-cai and bicycles.

No $$$method is to use cheap engine oil (heaviest grade you can find, but when I was broke I used 2nd hand motorcycle oil) soaked in a rag and run the chain through it.....messy

O_O''''''''' no it doesnt. hmmm I thought Amex did a tie in with Maybank ? I heard it was a bumpy relationship for them somewhere.

MAS...reminds of a time when I had business class all to myself and there was these two stewardess ......... I think that was my 4th or 5th last flight for work......ohhhh sorry what was it again.....

If money is no object, I would go for a set of wheels from Dash Cycles..and promptly destroy it by using them under my full body weight at 245lbs..gained 5 lbs post CNY sweat.gif

ohhhh selamat malam ...early day tomorrow and one meeting tonight.....toodles.

but, due to off season in cycling, my 2 wet Finishline lube and 1 dry Finishline lube are not utilised... my morgan blue dream have to further postpone......
