offroad riding prone to tergolek? are there pure xc trails around here?

worth getting an mtb? if all the trails are too technical, then prone to tergolek, tak syok la

I ride my mtb with normal wellgo pedal. Easy to jump off from the bike when near miss. I'm not a downhill junkies. So whenever I in doubt, I push my bike downward. I rather keep adrenaline rush than get bruised or scars. It's totally no-no for me shakehead.gif

Trail condition so unpredictable, so I learn my handling skills and improve my stamina faster during mtb time few years back before joining roadie. Also, it is more fun ride in trail. No direct sunlight,can wear whichever u like and lovely green surrounding.

But, lately lazy to ride mtb. So malas, to pack the bike into the car, drive to trail track and then need to clean all the mud. Only joining special event such as Xterra.

I donno how to describe, not really work for me. Also for weakling like me, it's easy to tolak the bike using my adidas kampung than proper cycling shoes.

Aiyaa. Wear whichever you comfortable during ride. Short, cargo pant, track pant, t shirt or singlet. Not so straight as road bike. They only allowed lycra spandex tight fit attire.

for me... i hate to wash bike everytime i have to go ride... tats all.. if the bike is equipped with self cleaning nano tech coating tat at the press of a button drops all the muck from the trail... i'd be 50% into riding off road again... the other 50% comes from a bubble boy force field that automatically deploys if i crash...
if both those things exists... i am sold...

Agreed, I wish I got collie to clean my bike whistling.gif

They are superstitious. Everything different or unconventional are taboo for them. Quite irritating when we just want to enjoy what we are doing.

Giant has the vin_ann spirit... even a wind tunnel also cannot let go...

they should do a challenge like the Richard Branson / Tony Fernandez one...
