QUOTE(cliffang83 @ Jul 2 2013, 10:28 AM) Guys I need some advice to put this air-pump to my bike. Whats with the seat angle? its like downwards... hurmm.. Currently it is seated on the top tube as you see in pic. Previously it was in the seat tube just behind the water bottle cage. Really not a good place as it gets very dirty after a ride offroad. But because of the shape of tube for my bike, fixing on top tube makes will move from side to side. Beside i am using Thule car rear hanger to take my bike, so fixing at seat tube makes it an obstruction for mounting the bike to the carrier (Light Green color part is where the bike will be fixed to the carrier.) Got any good idea?  |

QUOTE(ahmeduk88 @ Jul 2 2013, 06:48 PM) As a rider who rides a relatively heavy bike, well, i can say that once the bike starts rolling, we won't feel that much weight. Responsiveness and flickability IMHO is determined by the geometry and fit. For example a slack geometry with wide bars is more responsive than the same frame with shorter bars. A less slack angled bike will feel less flicky compared to a slacker bike. Wheelbase, head angle and center of gravity dictates how responsive it is. Of course...Another example is that, slacker bikes are more responsive at speed compared to less slack bikes and at slower speeds, a less slack bike is more responsive when slower. These all play big in your bike setup... Anyway... |

QUOTE(timothyy @ Jul 3 2013, 09:18 AM) Of course... agree! headtude angle is also important for responsiveness of the bike.These all play big in your bike setup... Anyway... lighter bike easier to ride, ma. nobody ever goes in the LBS and ask for the heaviest bike even DH riders here want titanium balls for bravery not Depleted uranium. |

The gear is Shimano Acera.. seller send me some photo http://www.mudah.my/Bicycle+3X9+Speed-22245257.htm Acera is 21 speed or something. Component wise, it is as it is to the price. So... nothing to shout. If price is cheap... and u want to try the sport... buy Throw it away or sell it even cheaper when u like the sport and plan to get a new one. There is nothing worth keeping on the bike. There is nothing worth changing except change the bike. |
