I am using a floor pump without the pressure gauge all this while, would like to get an accurate reading, should i just get a cheap pressure reader around like 20 bucks or get a new pump with gauge instead ?

Dafag....why steering wheels?

If you come across an accessible stylish reliable though not cheap wheels, kindly inform la! The quest continues....

reliability comes from your pocket... you can wreck a 202 every weekend and have it replaced by monday and your zipp can be as reliable as miao's open pro...or even better, keep spares of it at home...

bomb proof is never to be associated to stylish wheels... the designers spend too much time trying to make it stylish they forgot sensibility...and most of the time, they could be on too mush sugar products and caffeine and could possibly be rushing to spend time with their tenga's instead of making your wheels sensibly reliable... they just need to make it look good enough to be sold... true story...

like me... everyday come 5.30... i think of going home to my tenga... so much tat i would not give a shit about work and jus blast through it like i play Super Contra with unlimited lives...

my best pump in the world is free...

"petrol station"... no problems with volume, no problems with pressure limit, no problems with presta or schrader (just bring your damn converter) and got gauge, digital some more... no need pump pump pant pant and then complain about too many strokes lar or too hard too pump lar...

and best of all things... "FREE"

where can i get the genuine innovations ?
i can't seems to get the petrol station pump to work. once got a puncture, had the prestra to scrader converter on the tube valve, but once plug into the hose, no air got into it, it kinda have loose connection, both side also not working.
*
u ada press flat tire???

unless you have scrader... the digital pumps won't start pumping until it senses pressure...

haiyah... u just need to know which petrol station can pump up to the maximum pressure u need lar...most petrol station can only reach 60-70psi...especially petronas, the pump no reach also the gauge selection cannot go past 55psi...

most shell can reach 90 or even 100psi... but try to pump lower because it usually overshoots the target pressure because the volume pumped is quite much...

and usually i let out pressure until the tire starts to flat a bit only i pump... i dun pump when the tire is full of air..

Just want to check if a dealer imports a certain model of road bike from USA to MY, is it tax free or taxable?

We were informed that road bike are taxable while mountain bikes are not. Meanwhile, my friend who is in the shipping business said otherwise - road bike are non taxable while mountain bike is.

Who's right?
*
your friend is right... mountain bikes are taxable according to the customs table...road bikes for some odd reasons that it shares the same wheel size as those old normal singlespeed bikes are not...

if a dealer imports a bike, they would have hide any necessary shipping charges, taxes, or any other charges into the final price... they would not be itemizing it out for you...that is also one of the reasons why the bike would not costs the same from just a plain currency conversion of the price you saw online...

QUOTE(bobby85 @ Jun 11 2013, 08:48 AM)
bros....kindof new here...wanna ask any recommended bikes below 3k? And if possible where to get it?
*
the standard answer....

try Giant (jbs bike), Merida (pedalspot), and Polygon (rodalink) first. Then take a look at the rest, if you can afford them, then go for it...

My dealer tell me to pay for tax and freight separately. Is this allowed?
*
there are 2 scenarios to this...

1) you want the bike fast, and they have to fly it in separately or just flying that particular bike over in a single shipment... then i think, it is fair to pay the freight charges... tax wise i am not so sure of as tax is a grey area in malaysia as you know it... if it they really get taxed and there is docs to prove it... i guess there is no ways but to pay for it...

usually bike shops ships their bikes in batches of large quantities 2 or 3 times yearly to make the costs of the container worth it...so, even if they are willing to order it over, you might have to wait months to get it if you missed their last shipment...

2) they might be shipping it over from some shops they have connections with from neighboring countries as they could not get a single bike from their main supply source... i've heard of this being done and the declarations for taxation is a bit more murky on this one and there is high chances shipments like this gets into trouble with customs..

if they are asking you to wait for a couple of months so they can ship together with their next batch of bikes and still make you pay the extra on top of the price of that bike (which is sold at the same price as the simillar models of smaller size in their shop)... then it is questionable since the costs would have been embedded into their main shipment...

it's the same thing as if i buy my japanese domestic blu-rays, DVD or CDs ...i have to pay the tax rate, shipping charges which actually ends up higher than sites like cdjapan or yesasia... leading to the costs per album as high as RM180-RM200 as opposed to local released ones at less than RM50... it just depends if they want to tell you what you are paying for...

what bike are you looking to ship in btw, if you don't mind me asking?
