i noticed godzilla cycle sells original swisstop pads... they have almost everything up to yellow king gold...but price is above RM150 upwards to RM220+

else, you can ask GH Speedbike in advance and see if they have the SRAM pad inserts since they are theoretically the same pads made by swisstop...i remember those are cheaper...and since GH and godzilla are just behind each other in the same area...

From what i observed the original SRAM by swissstop pads that comes with my bike have narrower gaps

The one under swissstop (without SRAM wording) the gaps are much deeper, thus I am more interested on this one brows.gif

Maybe will get from godzilla since after factoring in the limit of RM500 to avoid tax and delivery charges, differences is less than RM5 whistling.gif

Finally managed to spend some long hours on the saddle and completed a 100km ride (with breakfast stop in between). Previously, the furthest distance done was around 70km. So in a way this was a big deal and I guess I wasn't really prepared for it. Finished 1 bidon during the first 50km, then stopped to have breakfast (banana cake + hot latte). Ride back was fine and was drinking water occasionally; by 70+ km my left calf got a cramp while trying to unclip and I couldn't unclip in time and fell. Left calf started pulsating and I had major cramps. Stretched a bit and was feeling better.

Rode for another 20km and that's when all hell broke loose. Both calves starting to cramp, left thigh was twitching. Was left with 1/4 in the bidon and finished it all. Limped/rode to the nearest petrol station and bought isotonic drink and filled one empty bidon and the other with water. Felt better and slowly paddled back, the last 10km felt really long and the crazy head wind did not help at all.

Question, is there a general rule of thumb on how much water to consume based on no of hours/distance riding ? What about food intake ? Some told me that I will need to bring along power bar/gel/energy bar etc etc and it's to be consume every hour on the saddle.

I have a big ride in Oct and in the midst of training for it (200km in two days) but it's supported so I guess there'll be stop areas along the way and I can refuel/eat along the way.

Here's the ride gradient for the day
