xf velvet can get at senaik in setia alam. good plush fork.

RRI is horrible... mosquito infested... crazy place.
i prefer elmina nervy RRI ... totally no mosquito.. very flowy fire road...great for xc rides

elmina how to enter? is there any guard house?
never go RRI or elmina, want to try after getting well

Er... think will only look for the 2013 Marzocchi forks. The older ones... well... erm... heard about problems. Even seen some Marzocchi models using some common parts like lockout to be same with Suntour!


Ok. Will go check. Heard good reviews about it.


What you all scared about mozzies. Get some DEET repellant, keep riding and pushing hard, don't stop! Well... only got two persons riding tonight including myself. So RRI is seems to be the safer bet. Mozzies seem far friendlier than human nowdays
Went to Elmina few weeks back. Very very sad, the whole East side of Elmina levelled to the ground with plenty of "lori hantu" doing massive ground work The west side over Empangan Tasik Subang is a little better but saw some amount of land clearing work going on too, Alam Budiman side is still okay but only a matter of time it gets wiped out. The Alam Budiman area adjacent to Setia Alam levelled out now for some massive housing project. Bored with Alam Budiman now after going through Altantuya trail side several times during midnight but did not see anything extraordinary...
Went to Sg Tangkas, Kajang last week for some nice undulating ride till midnight. Really enjoyed it. Been a while since I rode there and it is still good. Just need to watch out for cobras at night...

It's not just a few..it's whole swamp of mozzy come after you. But then that was morning. My mozzy guard repellant is useless.

Elmina, alam budiman, atyantula and elmina trail is pretty nice.

Tomorrow Kiara

go kiara must tutup aurat, no tutup kena gigit takkan salah mosquito pulak.

Mozzy repellent got expiry date.

Cycle non stop no expiry date. No mozzie bite. Hehehe.

How to cycle? So hazy cannot even see ahead

dont cycle at all
air pollution is so bad now

I thought RRI is closed? How to access eh?
Was thinking to explore elmina, guess no point now. Yeah, SimeDarby is developing their land for house project.

Haizz...

I'm really a beginner in this area so i really dont know much, and i saw some bike with price tag over RM1k and just using the XCT so i assume the XCM should be a nice upgrade for the stock fork that comes with the bike?[which the fork is sealed and really really stiff]

Went on Friday night. Still accessible... (not sure for how long) They (not sure who) erected some new barbed fencing surrounding the RRI perimeter. At Cova Square, cycle round the lake by the new exclusive housing area. Near the extended platform to the lake there is a small path to enter RRI. Mini single track to the main path. Somebody seems to have cleared up the overgrown bushes quite a bit since the last time I've been there.

Spam a bit... A bit of North shore... gayat...

Where's this place?

Any comment for boardman comp and team? Budget around 4k

Lets see...
The team ver, the Recon fork is okay, decent entry level rims, drivetrain is okay, hate the brakes. At 26 pounds for a HT... Erm...
The comp ver, the Epicon fork is the best entry level air sprung fork, drivetrain X5 so so..., hate the brakes. At almost 28 pounds... Gulp... Heavy IMO as that's the weight of my AM full sus.

My opinion... From what I feel
I've tested both Shimano and sram drive trains. Like sram for the positive clicks/shifting but don't really like the quality except for the higher range models (X9 and above). sram FD shifting sucks to me. Shimano shifts with less effort but feedback from shifting is a little muted. Other than that very reliable.
On brakes, the newer shimano brakes are really good. Decent amount of stopping power. Reliable and low maintenance with mineral oil. I have a love hate relationship with avid brakes. The stopping power can be very good. Just need to maintain it regularly by bleeding every 6 months or so to keep it in good shape. More if you ride in plenty of dirt and use a lot. Caliper pistons can get stuck one side causing uneven brake bias on disc after a while. Usually if you ride lots of muddy and dirty conditions. The DOT brake fluid does not lubricate the caliper piston square seals and with dirt can cause piston to bind a little. Unless you have the knack to service your brakes regularly, go for shimano brakes.

I would get a bike with at least a shimano slx rear drivetrain, slx brakes, epicon fork and decent rims to begin with. Well it is just my opinion. Go get a feel/test/ride various bikes first. Your choice anyway. Think I saw a polygon carbon HT, with fox fork but regular deore components for somewhere 4k or below... cant quite recall. Check rodalink... Sometimes they've got some unbelievable discounts on bikes and good deals.

Nice, where?
