Hard to explain..... Once u use the carbon rotor, you will know what i mean....

Currently, 50% power i press the lever, i get 75%+ for steel rotor, but only 25-40% for carbon rotor. In order to get 100% power for braking, i need press more harder the lever. Unable to skid since i use the carbon rotor for rear brake.

really?? hmm..but, some other famous mtbiker oso use contour..

n im using 1 rite now too 

U got play badminton after handball practice?

Well, i think you are better with the polygon. Sam Reynolds ride a polygon. Other than that you get the XCR forks. Good i tell you. Other than that is quite entry level and will serve well until its broken or you upgrade. Its got hydroformed tubes which looks good (to me) and a shorter chainstay (from pictures off the googre). Good for practicing manuals and whipping when you jump. Slacker TT as well. To me, i would choose the polygon.

yea true but i wont pay >300 for helmet

i want to buy this helmet

Throwback Thursday! Remember them old school GT's? Heavy as hell and crazily welded, threaded headsets and V-brakes?

Hardly see any GT's around these days....

Hi All,

Noob and newbie here. Just purchase a new MTB 3 months back: Giant Revel 0 29er for RM2K. I know anything <= RM2K I can only get to choose the color but for this model, only have matte black. Haiz... color also cannot get to choose.. but its a Matte Black!



Been cycling around taman averaging 10-12km every week and wanted to get into "action" in the legendary bukit kiara.

I am kinda solo now and looking for some newbie buddy to ride along. Any takers?

Cheers!

Roaming around KL?  Then no need to get a mountain bike.  You may want to look at other options.
1.5K - 2K can get you a pretty good foldie.

@skyblu - i'm also thinking of going foldie but then It may look too small for me since I'm a big guy :|

@dickybird - where you see the 900rm polygon roadie? pm pls

@all - "Bicycle Malaysia" the online bike store. Is it OK to deal with them? they really sell bikes at a reasonable price. They offered me Venzo Scud or Fuji Nevada which is in my budget.

Road distance is about 12-13km. FYI the route I normally use to go Kiara is Subang -> Sunway Mentari -> Cable bridge -> SS1 -> SS2 -> Tropicana Mall -> TTDI (Kiara). Normally avoid high traffic roads as much as I can (no choice at cable bridge though).

For KDCF, after SS1, I head towards taman megah -> dataran prima -> tropicana -> sunway giza -> KDCF. Distance this way is 15-16km I think.

Anyway, got ur number. Will contact u soon

You can do it wan. When I rode the distance the first time, halfway oredi panting like crazy. Reach kiara died no energy left somemore have to cycle all the way home. Killer gila. After few more times ok dy. Maybe familiar with route and also stamina increased. Main thing is start slowly and pick up pace later.

Maybe you can try planning your route using google maps and then riding it to see if the roads are too busy, or if there are shortcuts that you can explore. I think you can oso ride to kiara using the kg segambut dalam road and enter from the side of the school in hartamas
