QUOTE(ahchat @ Nov 12 2013, 11:39 PM) im using sunlight lol..dish washing soap  me too. an advice i read once, not to use car shampoo with wax. might get onto the rotors and make them slippery. that's how the noise starts. QUOTE(dickybird @ Nov 12 2013, 10:33 PM) i use leftover car shampoo to wash the frame and degrease with Muc Off. Apply a coat of turtle wax for shine and protection. Relube with finishline drylube since i tend to ride in the dry. which reminds next week gotta do my annual wahs for my go2pasar foldie. haha i use a combo sponge with microfibre to wash and those rm12 for 3 waxing pads to apply turtlewax and a chamois to wipe dry and polish. and do that depending on how dirty she gets. usually post epic ride. lots of TLC This post has been edited by miaopurr: Nov 13 2013, 12:38 AM |

QUOTE(tuan birch @ Nov 15 2013, 11:09 AM) if u are on low budget just buy any 1K bike, if possible at least with a Deore groupset. then change to those lighter Schwalbe tyres and fulcrum metal XL wheelset. this three components it will make huge difference when u are climbing. all other components are just for technical purpose which a newbie wont really need. Deore alone is oredi 1k |

QUOTE(sebnimh84 @ Nov 19 2013, 02:17 PM) Question about internal headset (Cos my bike's using an internal headset); 1. How often do I service? 6 months once? 2. Any way to self service? Lube it myself? If so what kind of lube 3. What difference would it make apart from smoothness when turning and lightness if I were to change to let's say a FSA internal headset 1. usually once a year is sufficient. CK recommends 6 months to 2 yrs interval, depends on the climate. depends also on the quality of the seal. my oem FSA headset bearing was caged type, not fully sealed. only lasted over 1 mth before sand/water gets in. 2. http://www.pinkbike.com/news/Tech-Tuesday-...ng-Headset.htmlhowever, some bearings' seals are quite hard to be pried out. like VP's. sealed bearings are meant to be used and abused and then replaced. 3. better seals. longer lifetime. larger bearings / higher bearing load. etc This post has been edited by miaopurr: Nov 19 2013, 02:41 PM |

QUOTE(sebnimh84 @ Nov 19 2013, 02:42 PM) Cool thanks! Yes I'm using a VP too... I think sand has gotten in the last couple of rides and it's becoming rather stiff. I'd need to get a sealed bearing internal headset then in future.... Them FSA's are awfully bright in colours very tempting  i tot FSA only comes in black or red? colourful option is the CK  |

QUOTE(sebnimh84 @ Nov 19 2013, 03:04 PM) I saw a lime green FSA internal headset, goes well with the colour of my bike (white/green). CK? CK mai kong la... Chris The goddemn King headsets are so sexy colourful wey haha, hefty pricetag too! BTW since I'm already asking questions - I'm looking for cheap pair of Hydraulic brakes (Yes I'm still running mechs which are horrible). I like Avids, Shimanos are good too. How are Tektros? Looking for something the RM 300 - 400 price range... low budget rider shimano deore? |

QUOTE(eohl79 @ Nov 22 2013, 09:49 AM) Should have chicken-loop like the previous ones  You should be able to survive part of it. Also wonder why the organizers have not been putting up much info on the ride. Not advertisement from sponsors, etc. No dedicated webpage to advertise on the event, etc. When would be the goodie bag collection?  gonna try to finish n complete all checkpoints. yeah lor.. only 2 weeks to the event, not much info |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Nov 22 2013, 09:59 AM) Just a bit of tip to share. The previous PCC I went to, the most hardcore stage would be the first one... Don't push yourself too much during that stage or you'll wear out before you finish the whole jamboree. how many stages were there? did it get easier after each stage? thanks for the tip This post has been edited by miaopurr: Nov 22 2013, 10:21 AM |
