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...
MEN-strual cycle ?
I have not seen any ladies on the bikie staff that is worth a second look (granted I have not been to all......hehehe)
Till today I would buy Lance a cuppa if he is willing and not our 'champion' badminton player.

hi all masters and gurus of bicycle, may i know where to get belt driven bicyle in Klang Valley? instead of the oily and greasy metal chain, i prefer the belt type bicycle.

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...
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.

use internal gear hub can what....
QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2013, 12:50 PM)
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...
QUOTE(miaopurr @ Feb 4 2013, 12:53 PM)
hub only 4 figure? wahhhh.... bloody hell...
eh, i oso drooling over dt240 hubs... 4 figure also.... bloody hell myself
QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2013, 12:55 PM)
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...

can i know can i get the chain cleaner and the lub in most of the bicycle shop?
how much will they cost?..
normal chain cleaner and 2nd grade lub..
thanks:D
QUOTE(butthead @ Feb 4 2013, 06:06 PM)
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...
I heart citrus degreasers.....there are locally made ones that come in commercial packaging.......no $$$ method is to use hot water and mix your cheapest laundry detergent.....use with an old tooth brush or old sink brush. cost next to nothing. If you want to dress it up...put it all in an old squirt bottle
WD40/RP7 can penetrate bearings and chain links. Be careful with the stuff.
Never have I known wet is for wet and dry is for ummm dry.....I always used dry since it does not make a mess, both for the cup-cai and bicycles.
No $$$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
