Then... you would have known... at RM1500... you just choose the color you like.
26" is considered history. By 2014... you will hardly see any 26" new bike coming out.
Whether 27 or 29er...
Not many of us really tried similar bike on different type. E.g. a proper 29er Trail vs a 650B Trail. Like what Camlion mentioned... 29er is more for XC. 650B is more for trail.

Now the next question would be... Is FRIM XC or trail

Nice wheels!!!!!

And your point is?

So big word also cannot see?

When I ride XC... I donno why... I like transformer. Auto transform to gay. Ha! Ha! ha!


Anyway... getting an AM bike doesn't mean you need to ride like a superstar. It just overall gives you an option.
You still can climb you still can go down.

But overall, you just gonna be more confident on the bike due to the built.
XC is fast is sleek... but it can never go near an AM bike geometry.
Yes... u still can go downhill... But you just miss the whole point.

So... if you already have 1 bike that fits for XC... go for an AM bike or towards Freeride/AM bike. This way... you will enjoy both ends.

This is bullocks!
My first off road was in Kiara on a HT Merida.
It survived and enjoyed it till today.
It is just that ur age is catching up n u lose your manhood.

Probably 60km/h.

U rich... very differernt only.

Well, there are so many brand out there claiming they are the best.
One thing for sure, we are in Malaysia with limited resources.
It might be the best bike... but at times, choosing the right shop that can give you service is more important.

Every brand claims they are using best technology and best design. But how many can give you the service that you need... test, touch, smell, feel and etc.
Price wise, you might spend a little bit more between A & B. But it all goes back to which shop can give better advise and service.


Sau pei la!

At 174cm... u will be most comfortable with a size M or 17.5" bike.
You will still be able to ride an S but it feels short and an L but u will be tired.
Unless you got really special leg/body proportion then M is the right one for u regardless how they claim.

If you have not much experience in handling/maintaining a bike, it is good to make friend with your local bike shop. Buy from them, learn from them and you get extra perks and free services from them too.

Bringing a bike from let's say overseas or another shop to them... is just not as pleasant.




Jason n dickybird... just enjoy the sports. This is just a forum.
We are all no better than the other.

Yeah, there are many coming in and ask ready available info questions... but heck... don't we all. So... just direct them to page 1. If lazy... but still wan to answer... just say "read page 1".

Cheers.

You two got period issit? Ha! Ha!
LBS = Local Bike Shop.

Jangan le...

I lambat... jangan cakap tak sampai...

Anthem is great bike. So is XTC.

Giant is a reputable brand and is one of the cheapest brand you can invest your money in.

Saying that...
Anthem and XTC... both can go offroad and on road.

By the name of Mountain Bike... it is designed for offroad.

But you can use a Toyota Hilux 4x4 on road too. Many owning one never offroad as well.
Are they wrong? Na... its just preference.
Of course, a Toyota 86 will definitely able to tackle the road better... but heck...

So... whether offroad or on road... that is very much up to you.

XTC and Anthem....

Which one better?

Don't think too much.
XTC is hardtail. Meaning lighter but harder on ur butts.
Anthem will be more comfort.

And if you are 18 yrs old... Hardtail is great.
If you are 40 years old, fullsus is great.

26, 650B, 29...

26 - whether u like it or not... trend is moving towards 650B and 29. Some even say by 2015, most brands would discontinue their 26er.

650B - The trend now more for All Mountain.
29er - Trend moving towards XC.

So... what is All mountain and XC... read page 1.

Cheers.

Fuah.... 3 hours is top 100 placing.

The 18" 29er should be right for u. Get in touch with the guy and try it out.

U everytime say Kiara is either not rideable or dangerous... have you actually rode in Kiara?



Tyres are meant to wear. If its wearing off... its doing its job!

If ur friend can... Why not u?

Ya. Only this dicky keeps promoting nevegal.
Many say good but never buy 2nd time.



Tubeless can go at 20psi n heard some go at 18psi.
No problem. No need snakeskin.

U need constant top up sealant to avoid leak.
