QUOTE(timothyy @ Apr 5 2013, 10:15 PM) Since you say wanna join ur friends... it is better to ask your friends first what to get. Narrow down your choices. Then, probably easy for us to help. I mean I wan to get a bike 1st so that i can join members riding...But read page 1 for an idea.  i copy past d whole statement from page 1, cheers... |

QUOTE(Broadica @ Apr 8 2013, 09:43 AM) 3k can only buy u beginner XC bike. since your terrain is all XC and friend are doing XC..why want a AM bike? AM bike is heavy and will be under utilized. any shops recommend in selangor area?alot of bike you can get at 3k... go shop around and do some homework see which you like then spell it out here for more advice. |

QUOTE(cmwong0 @ Jun 10 2013, 11:45 AM) 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). Thanks for the guide & details bro, looking to join u guys...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 |

QUOTE(chamelion @ Jun 20 2013, 10:16 AM) you just choose brand; travel of fork need to follow your frame. when the rider know wat's going on, rider will choose the brand and model he want depend on the budget...there is no such thing as know what fork suit your skill unless u talking switch from XC to AM or to DH. btw, i think epicon should be good for entry level... |

QUOTE(Broadica @ Jul 5 2013, 04:54 PM) overtighten? but then it should still be smooth turning... have a minor crash on sunday... just a minor freeplay, coz I bought a new stem for change myself yesterday...how long have your freeplay headset been left until the fix? if too long you might want to remove the bearing and check if it moving ok.. could have busted from the freeplay so when I tighten it, it became hard to turn, like lock up... no smooth feel... few weeks i tighten it but it is smooth turning. if bearing kong, can replace it or nid to change a new headset? |
