a lot of brand awareness need to do.... should be only for high end bike model baru DHL masuk...
at there, where you can enjoys more attentions, friendly advice, better quality services and etc etc from the bike shop.

i think they have no holding area to keep so many bikes lar... that is the primary reason...
but i do agree that andrew can chat with you even if you have no intentions to buy anything from them... he entertained me for half an hour the last time when i asked about their cables...
at least they dun pre-judge and super hard sell....

i have Topeak small portable pump... Gold color! so far so far.... although i experienced 3 times punctures in 2 occasions, my small pump functions well.... wait... my floor pump is Topeak one, its should be smarthead right? i got mixed up between twinheads and smarthead. zzz
paiseh...
mine puncture 2 times and i found the internal adapter along with the cover missing because the dust cap already came off and did not prevent the cover from un-screwing itself...
total times used, 0, nada, zilch...and the pump already went AWOL
twinhead is the one where the lever swing left and right
I got some newbie question after doing some research. Some trainer got flywheel weight 0.6kg some, some got 2.7kg. Lagi berat flywheel weight, lagi better?
the weight is kind of pointless... heavier will make it harder to spin up... and supposedly it should provide a level of continuous forward momentum to simulate real world riding (if you have ridden stationary bikes before, you know the use of flywheel)
but with the resistance in... the momentum would not make any sense at all...because the resistance would be like putting a brake on the heavy flywheel...

from my previous info surveying, best trainer are magnetic trainer compared to others.
i think still got flywheel... so that the resistance dun stop the wheel once you stop pedaling... like you can freewheel a bit on the trainer...but it still depends on how much you crank up the resistance...
This version still sold now? Where u buy and how much? Sold becoz of upgrade or not into indoor trainer? Got complain or can give short review? I'm sorry if I ask too much Just want to make sure my investment worth it.
miao can never be satisfied... i think that answers it all...
..on pro racing..just to understands more on the tactical aspect of the tour.
Ow does a domestique rider helps his teammate to try to recover after gotten distanced in an uphill battle? Is it more to do pace setting him and limit the damages, as I dun see any advantages in drafting...no?
Also...How does the work cuts out for a domestique rider in neutralizing an attack?
racing is a dynamic thing... there is no rulebook on how to make or counter a play... it is up to the genious of the director sportiff too cook up shit on the fly...
you can't just look at it like that...
usually, the rouleurs would cover the flats on a mountain stage early on and depending on situation... try to last as long as possible until the climbs begin.. they will be in charge of chasing important breaks down or countering any sort of moves... if the DS makes it hard for them and wants them to push the pace hard, then they might wear out even faster than expected...
and if the captain is feeling good that day... the DS might actually order a rider to follow a breakaway so that the captain would have someone up the road ahead of the race in case he needs him later in the stage... like Andy Schleck on the Galibier stage 18 in 2011 where he attacked 60K from the finish
once comes the climbs the super domestiques or climbers would take their turn to pace the team up the climbs...
usually, if the pace is hard enough... the domestiques would be spent by the last climb of the day leaving their captain to make an all out run up the last ascend of the day...so, if the captain is unlucky and get dropped... he is usually without much help at all and has to do the damage limitation himself.. if he is lucky to have someone close by... the domestique will be in charge of pacing his captain back up the climb whether to limit his time loses or regain contact again...
for instance, LA at 2003 Luz Ardiden... you see his team (i think tyler at that time waiting for him to have him blasting past the lead group after he took a tumble with iban mayo on the last climb of the day)
or like carlos sastre in 2008 up alpe d'huez where everyone's eyes was on frank schleck as he was wearing the maillot jaune... and carlos sastre suddenly attacked out of nowhere and bjarne riis ordered both his boys to sit in the chasing group trying to tow onto the ragged cadel evans and sink him...
or 2007 when Contador had Popovych towing the team up plateau de beille and then leipheimer attacking to thin out the leaders group to set a base for contador to launch on...
sometimes unusually though is that the GC riders have their main men beside them at the last climb all the way like 2003 where i remember lance had the angry menonite with him before descending the last climb into the finish...
and on certain times, like 2006 where floyd actually blasted away some 100k before the finish to chase down a couple of riders and then win the stage himself just to find that he was caught with testosterone that unfortunate day...
and bad times like the same year where floyd lost 10 minutes in just 1 single stage and only having the struggling axel merckx to ride his ass off back to him to pace him up the final climb
in summary, there is no who, how, when and where... it is a game of chess and there is no guides on how to play the chess pieces... jus pure creativity on the road...
