QUOTE(butthead @ Oct 5 2013, 11:46 PM) then he go find the excuse at VN lor.. if he can't find at VN... maybe he might go find it somewhere else... hence, the 1,001 reasons i mentioned... there is no such thing as co-incidence, or impulse... the thought has been there all the while...he just kept it bottled up until it decided to explode on him.... I must admit that there is indeed the need to scratch the itch that has been building up slowly  |

QUOTE(lilredridinghood @ Oct 7 2013, 09:41 AM) Ultegra 6800 looks good this year, next year maybe better thinking more of the sram force22 actually. I get to drop almost 300grams off the ultegras |

QUOTE(butthead @ Oct 7 2013, 06:17 PM) you don't have much of a choice cause you can't find those bolts outside at the nuts and screws shop... or you can weld it instead of using the nutelse, there is always ebay but i doubt it's any cheaper http://www.ebay.com.my/sch/i.html?_trksid=...cat=0&_from=R40 |

QUOTE(Nazrull @ Oct 7 2013, 10:54 PM) I'm new to road cycling(started 3 months ago). Kinda wondering if my TRS Lighting bike(yes, it's a low end road bike, cheap one) wheel set can be converted to tubeless one? It use Quando hub. I've asked around here in Kuantan most of bike shop says it depend on the wheels. Somebody care to enlighten me about this standard clincher wheel to tubeless setup thing? actually yes, it does depend on the wheel. to be exact, the rim, not the hub. what are your rims?p/s: pardon for that poor english. basically to do tubeless, first you need to make your rims air tight. and you need to use tubeless ready tires. I've tried this with normal tires, and they have a nasty habit of leaking air from the sidewalls no matter what sealant I use. |

QUOTE(KTCY @ Oct 8 2013, 09:46 AM) my fr0 2way fit can straight put on tire and ride ?! yup. but make sure its tubeless ready tires. so far the only ones I've found locally are the Hutchinson ones, but Rodalink mentioned that they'll begin stocking the Schwalbe tubeless by end of this month*edit* sealant will be very useful too  This post has been edited by malleus: Oct 8 2013, 09:49 AM |

QUOTE(butthead @ Oct 8 2013, 09:54 AM) the Hutchinson ones are atom tubeless... if there was the fusion 3.... it would be so much more sweeter... ah cools, didn't know they've got it in stock already.roadlink did brought in their schwalbe tubeless already since the mid of last month... i saw them mounting it on the ultegra wheels.... I've found the fusion 3 tubeless here too actually. started on those initially, but moved to the atoms after that |

QUOTE(Nazrull @ Oct 8 2013, 10:51 AM) I suffered flat tire once a month since I started, that's why I'm thinking of converting my rims to tubeless. At first I think maybe my current weight (currently 86kg as of yesterday) contributes to this. But a bike mechanics told me it's probably something to do with my rims because he said standard clincher wheel do flat once in a while not once in a month! So I'm bringing my wheel set for him to take a look. out of curiosity, what's your tire PSI?After looking around youtube for this tubeless thing I thin I can do it my self but just in case I'm bringing in my bike for some inspection. One minor problem with this tubeless conversion is the conversion kit(usually from Stan NoTube) is hard to find here in Kuantan. The mechanics told me he usually had to order the kit from Singapore. Tubeless-ready tire brand like Schwalbe Ultremo ZX and Hutchinson Fusion 3 is easy to find, but other stuff like Stan tape that is used to seal the inner rims is not. |

QUOTE(Nazrull @ Oct 8 2013, 11:35 AM) Currently I use Maxxis Detonator on front wheel and Michelin Dynamic Sport on rear wheel. I put between 85-100psi on both tire. 85-100 psi is rather low. that's the pressure that you would want to use on tubeless, not tubed. so pinch flatting is a rather likely reason.the detonators has got a max PSI of 120. try pumping 110 for both front and back. |

QUOTE(Nazrull @ Oct 8 2013, 02:59 PM) Just curious, any advantage on using clipless? Strangely I rarely see rider here in Kuantan using clipless pedal. chances are, during the century ride in Kuantan, it's rare to see riders not using clipless pedals |
