QUOTE(butthead @ Jun 15 2013, 07:10 PM) i think sram has dis-continued their wheel lineup if i am not wrong and replaced by the new 30 and 60's made by zipp... oh damn, was looking at site and said it was kinda cheap, how much is reynolds assault?the s60 even if you can find it is actually quite costly for a carbon wheel and quite heavy due to the alloy brake track... there is a lot more choices out there for the same price like the reynolds assault and profile design altair 52 although it loses the older toroidal rim shape that zipp uses on it's old wheels.. |

QUOTE(yoonyin @ Jun 16 2013, 12:58 AM) Hi, i a new in road bike. I was looking for some entry bikes in JB. Currently looking at 2013 Polygon helios c3.0 & c4.0. Not sure what it cost.. i got the helios c 3.0 , imho the 9 gear sora is kinda bad for climbing since the ratio is kinda off and it's hard to maintain a good cadence on steeper climbs since it's kinda heavyAnd also a shop owner intro me the Merida lite 903 (2013) @ rm3k , included water bottle&cage, basic pedal and bike stand. Is that a good deal? Appreciate all the pro feedback |

QUOTE(Mac Wai @ Jun 23 2013, 08:25 AM) If like me, cannot decide on either, i will then add a 3rd question! jesus mang, u be right!!! fakken aero y'all!!Now if you add style in to the equation, the question don't seems to be a too difficult one now, when to climb or to aero question are in a stalemate position, with neither a decision over the other- perfectly poised and balanced, neither budging an inch like a can of Redbull drink, ......therefore to defuse the situation, rammed at the indecision, at 90 degrees with the 'Style' requirement... Bang!!, and there you go, end results- a carbon stylish all rounder pops up! So according to the law of nature, It is so much easier to handles a 3 legged stool then a two legged ones. |
