fsa has some nice components... unfortunately... very hard to find in malaysia... when i did find the dealer... they bring in nothing but the carbon one...

i was trying to look for the omega compact... but, couldn't find it... it was very cheap when it was being sold in GH...but now they are no longer the dealer for FSA as far as i understand...

After marathon, now its time to go into cycling....

anybody want to joins me with P2K this Sat?

wat for... and step into your traps???

and in case mac wai wants to know... got pretty chicks or not?

he stalker

now it's sen aik

hell no what for #p2kjgnderasaya

tats creepy...

that's the buhgger... wat the hell are they doing with only carbon bars... WTF is goin on man...

carbon is the way to go now

then why isn't your plate, cup, bowl, spoon, knife and fork made of carbon... why isn't your pen made of carbon, why isn't your car made of carbon???

different people different market mar....

you can't expect malaysia to only sell ferrari's right.... who can afford to buy?

we are not talking about utensils n kitchenware la... don't twist words

last night i went to KSH and tried out carbon bike. Somehow I feel insecure with the bike
Maybe I'm too heavy for carbon. am about 90+kg

usually frames don't have weight limit. what u need to watch out for are the wheels. components i'm not sure. maybe Le Butthead can shed some fleshlight on this

then what is the basis for only bringing in carbon bars... yes, it's the way to go technologically speaking... but i am not looking to own the latest and greatest right???

and so am i not looking to eat with a carbon fork and spoon because that will give me better response when i am scooping up my scallops from my ultralight carbon plate....

bring in lar variety... there is poor people too to take care off... that or FSA will never be big in malaysia... if FSA feels that GH is doing a shitty job... sen aik is doing some freakin lousy job of promoting FSA stuff....

at least GH used to have most of the range of FSA stuff on cockpit and cranks...

have to take care of other people also mar... we are not all ferrari buyers...

it won't break just by you being too heavy... trust me... unless there is some defects with the frame...i've seen bigger gorillas riding r3sl and tarmac sl's and those bikes did not break....

jus dun be an idiot and crash it against a concrete wall at 30miles an hour...

of course, there is no stopping you from buying alloy bikes... but, then again you just have to understand that the limitation of alloy is always there and it will never do what carbon is capable of truly....

Maybe. I have no idea tho.

@bold : weight and stiffness ?!

yeah... frames usually are designed to be more resilient...

some wheels like like zipps will have a rider weight limit of 185pounds.... in fact most low spoke count or full carbon rims will have limit... pedal wise, most of the time no... super lightweight pedals might have it or speedplay titanium and above has the 185pound limit....

it's not that the pedal or component will break immediately... but it might not last long if used by someone over the weight limit and there is chances of failure...
