according to the owner, the frame is 27.5. Looks good kan? But the bike kena booked dy..  cry.gif

Santa Cruz has not even ventured into 27.5 in 2011.
A seller giving u such false info is not trustworthy. Hence... even though it is cheap... u might be getting crap out of the deal.

At this price, even a modified 26er to 650B, he still can easily sell it... He doesn't need to lie about it.

So most of us under-utilise our bike!

So... what car u driving?
What house u staying?
What phone u using?

If I buy a Merz, I got to wear tie, I drive a BM, I got to drive 220kmh ave, or if I got a proton I got to throw in the rubbish bin?

Oh pls... getting a proper mountain bike doesn't mean u got to ride like these people in video. We all hope to... that is for sure... but that is too far out right?

Dear Sifu,
I finally settled for Bianchi Kuma 27.1. Now having fun riding it almost every possible day I can.

I appreciate help from anyone as still very new on MTB. I google around and can't seem to find it.

The fork that comes with the bike is Suntour XCM which has a remote cable lock attached to left side(sitting from bike) of the fork. what I can't figure out is the right side fork which possible to rotate/turn but need some pressure(90 degree)

When should I turn/rotate the right fork knob or for what purpose.

Thanks.

Probably take a photo and show us instead.

It is kinda difficult to get brake fluid on ur rotor. If really so much of fluid leaked onto ur rotor... most probably u cant brake anymore.

Some of us in here use 160mm with 66 degree for long distance off-road ride. I think ok je. Maybe lock-out the rear shock if it gets too tiring. Or make it stiffer.

Itu u only... Ha! ha!

Having a long travel bike for an XC will surely make it more difficult.
Until today... there is no 1 bike for all. But like Cyphereza... there is a 1 man for all.

So... to be save... to ride on XC and be able to enjoy trail... go for a 5" travel...

Anybody checked in their bike on a plane before? Need info on how you pack them and get it checked in. Want to take my bike to US. Also do you pay for insurance, etc. Afraid it might go missing on transit.
*
Go to any bike shop, ask for the cardboard box... pack exactly like how they too it out.
U got to check in as oversized luggage.
Many travelled overseas for ride trip and no prob. And usually oversized luggages are handles quite gently compared to your normal luggage.
