Wait until u see Lightweight with the white spokes..forgot la the model.

What do u guys think about Vision wheels? Around rm4500 only, the aero wheels

I was planning to get 404fc as the aero wheels for flat route and my FR0 for climbing but haveto change brakepads everytime and adjust the angle..maybe sell mu FR0 and get a do-it-all wheelset..the 303FC or 202FC?

that is the meilenstein obermeyer weiss edition...

Sure boh? If money no problem- Milenstein lightweight may just convert you.
All pro are on carbon right?

you have to get your facts straight...pro's have the ability to swap wheels every couple of months... you can't...and breaking a wheel for them is no harder than breaking a sweat...

you break a wheel... it feels like britney spears skewered your testicles with a thorny rose...

if money no problem, i'd pay extra for shipping fee, customs tax, for a set of custom built HED C2 from wheelbuilder.com, if they have clincher version. if not, i might choose something else from them, or from other builders.

if money no problem... i would buy myself the entire Reynolds company and get Paul Lew to build me some fancy wheels...

this is the chap who build the german sadist gunther mai a set of "special" lew racing carbon boron vt-1 which is much lighter than the ones sold off the shelf...
http://www.rouesartisanales.com/article-17212505.html
http://velonews.competitor.com/2008/03/bik...road-bike_73034

the wheels were 850grams off the shelf and reached gunther mai @ 734grams... the crazy hitler worshiping mofo took it a further 30 grams lighter by making love to it day and night i meant grinding the axles and stuff that most of us including paul lew think is there for safety reasons...

i am going to buy over reynolds and be his master boss and make him build me wheels day and night until he cries mommy....

that is what i will do if money is no issue....

it's not stated in the contract... but when the time comes... it is expected that you do honor the silent agreement

newbie here, thinking of getting a new road bike after retire from tricycle...
can recommend some? budget 2.5k max, found a KHS Flite 300 or is there any better suggestion for a new bike?

is it true that if simply buy a cheap road bike then the upgrading on the part later will be incompatible and expensive? would like to get some comment and learning here

there is no such thing as incompatibility... you might just have to pay quite a bit more to get the whole shebang to work...

there is always options for under RM2.5k... you might want to take a peep at the nearest bike shop to you first...

http://www.baikbike.com/bicycle-shops/

the general guidelines will always be that you take a look at the giants (, meridas, jamis, khs, fuji first.

they will have some sora equipped bikes that should be within 2.5k... then you might need a bit more for some protective gear like helmet, accessories like lights and gloves... expect another RM200-RM300 from those stuff...

pin pointing models might be hard since we don't know a lot of things from you like location, how you allocate your budget and stuff... give the shops a stroll and narrow down your options first.

that is so weird...
sounds like gwen steffani's cousin...
"basic" is the taboo word...
tats not bad... i only managed to knock up less than 3.5k the whole of last year... depressing when some of the previous years were triple those numbers...
i believe you will buy something we totally don't expect...

You had already convinced our Butthead Kor to go the same path or had successfully neutralise Vin-ann's urges to challenge us, if we do upgrades.
So... you know the answer.................it's Ziltch!
