QUOTE(sky26 @ Nov 19 2013, 03:00 PM) Any suggestion on quick release pedals? Looking forward to get a pair for my bike. Thanks! What is your budget? you can check some here: (The Wellgo M079 QRD is quick release....) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...95716921&type=3Another good brand is MKS EZY available from vans for about RM290 or you can get it cheaper at RM230 from mybicycleshop, where I bought mine. The MKS EZY pedals can be removed from the crank, looks like this: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/mks-promanade-ezy-removable-pedals/

QUOTE(littlebeettle @ Nov 22 2013, 05:22 PM) Great job danny!! I failed to climb to the top due to leg cramped  Was your bike very heavy? How many kg, roughly? I also thinking about making a trip up.... but worried cannot make it...  One big factor in making a successful hill climb is the total weight of the bike and the rider. Of course, the rider has to be fit too. Rider weight , we can't do too much. But bike weight we can.... This post has been edited by budgee: Nov 22 2013, 08:20 PM

QUOTE(etigge @ Nov 22 2013, 10:53 PM) Don't get too obsessive with bike's weight or rider's weight. Fitness, I agree though. Yes, true it may be advantageous for lighter bike and rider but I am almost 100kg and my bike is almost 14 kg and I rode up three time already and the route is still my favourite riding venue. Most important is your own pacing. While others' boast about doing it within 4 hours, you don't have to conform, right? Maybe take the whole day, it doesn't matter. I think more importantly, it's your riding kaki. Just join some who are willing to wait or follow your pace. If you are still doubtful, try from Sungai Chilling first. From Chilling onwards, it's all gradual uphill for 20 km. Good thing is, you can turn back whenever you want and the turn back is all downhill, so no worries about riding back to the car. From there you can try gradually to complete but I am sure most can complete the 20 km to GAP station. After that, if you think you can make the last 8 km, go ahead. After you manage this part, the next time, start from Kuala Kubu Bahru. Happy riding, friend.  Great Suggestion ! Ride on, bro..

Great bikes from Dahon! Mini velo can save your energy and go very fast due to the ride quality, just like a normal road bike feel.

Upgrade is like a must do activity. After I get my first bike, I upgrade, then ride some more, then upgrade again.
It is quite a pleasure to tinker with the bike and install different components to test it out and see the effect on the ride quality.

QUOTE(kakashi... @ Jan 30 2014, 04:15 PM) hi guys, looking to get a folding bike less than 10kg any model can i look into it? you can try searching the web for brands like Tyrell and Tern and Dahon. Tyrells are hand made, while the high end Terns will meet your specs of < 10 kg, but comes at a price. I have a cheaper china made foldie around 8kg plus, but its 16 inch wheels.. about RM2.8k This post has been edited by budgee: Jan 30 2014, 08:35 PM
