sandman gobi? where do u get this?

Suntour XCM V3 not recommended at all.... my bike comes stock with it. Rebound is crappy as ever and the fork is stiff like crazy... wrists hurt even after short ride in comparison to higher-end forks.

Save up and go for a better fork, it'll be worth the while (That's what I'm doing now )

fizik very expensive....

everyone have a different sifat 

Oh, thanks for the advice! What about XCR[i'm hooked with the fancy remote lockup function XD] ? Or the Road Shox Dart2..? A lot of ppl recommending the Dart 2 to me, but the price is... very steep :/

well its up to you... if you saja want to change for the sake of changing.. then ok.

otherwise i suggest you save up and change later on something that can give you a better performance different rather than wasting the money on something not. Suntour Epicon should be a good aim for you.

and everyone is giving you the similar advise that we learned. or go through the experience yourself and dealt with it.

I am starting to build my own MTB.  Any place I can buy wheel sets at a good price.  Looking at Mavic XM319 or crossride.  Any recommendation is welcome.

the brand not even heard b4... i doubt any one used that before...
carbon product strength come from the quality control during the layup and curing. any error and they are weak.

I am just going for casual ride like a little bit of orrfroad...nothing like serious downhill or jumps.  That is why I did look at those carbon handle bar.  It definitely is no good for those hardcore but riding around parks should be ok i thing.

Everybody start somewhere right?

Even the world best footballer once play with coconut in the backstreet.

Anyway, thanks for the advise.  I will stay away from carbon handle to be on the safe side. 

Anyway, being a Taman biker, I still can choose any bike I want and any price I can afford, not just the color.

i saw ppl ride china carbon bike in kiara ok jer. he shed 19sec off his best time on it   

The point is... do not buy imitation goods... or not trust-worthy brand
