Steerer tubes come in 3 standard sizes. 1" , 1 1/8" and 1 1/2" and the latter is rare. Most suspension forks are 1 1/8" but it is also available in 1". RST forks usually are sold without the steerer forks and there's an option to buy with 1" or 1 1/8". Off course the steerer tubes are chargeble too.

I don't know what your fork problem is, can you explain why it is loose?
*
rst is one of the option i had (luckily sweat.gif )
me mysef not sure why its loose (riding style? sweat.gif )
its just dat one day i feel de front side shaky/wobbly
i tot de qr loosen...its not
go to johny to fix de front brake he told me my fork is shaky
well
since hes not fixing de fork or aniting
so i assume de fork is either unfixable or not worth to be fixed sweat.gif
anyway i already had a plan for de fork
im eyeing the rst from de ebay
its just dat when i know rst is a taiwan company
why on earth wud i order from de other side of de pacific?
so i wonder if taobao got de rst no steerer one
n ask robyn to look at taobao

I have some doubts about your fork wobbling. As I see from the pix of your bike, it uses a quill stem. This is an old design found in our old bikes where the stem has two metal wedges that tightens and grips onto the fork's steerer tube. Parts for these are easily found in any old timer shops but I doubt Johnny's stocks them. Try taking your bike to any Ah Pek's bike shop and I am sure they can repair and tighten it. Another point is, yours has a drop bar and I think it works better to have a non-suspension fork and I think any kiddy's 20 inch fork can be fitted if the need to change the fork arises. Take it to an old timer's shop and see if they can tighten it.

There are also a conversion quill stem that when used, you can get the regular stem (where you choose the angle and length ) and lock onto the adapter.

Is this a bridge to Pulau Bunting? The only island we can see is from Pantai Merdeka. Very nice pictures and scenic route.  thumbup.gif  I have rode in Singkir Laut and Darat before and I remembered that we went around Gunung Jerai instead of going to the top. I think your ride was more enjoyable! When I rode, the guys from Persatuan Gerek Perwaja Steel took us on a merry chase around and I did not enjoy at all. That was on a mountain bike though. Maybe we can do it again one day!  nod.gif

yes it is
but the road going to de bridge is ony paved with stone
glad im fitted with dth tongue.gif hehe
glad u all like it
worth blistering my a*s for de second time tongue.gif

ah
to those pipel discussing bout headlights
im using knog blinder road 2 headlights
so far i like it very much
bright enuf for me for urban use
i tink its bright enuf for aniting
myb not as bright as t6 or aniting
but i like its compactness and its battery is not external
for me its quite a headache to find a place to mount de external battery
and i also like de idea of usb charging
going anywher means i can use my phone charger or my lappy instead of having to bring its own charger and to find plug point
quite expensive yes
im using it everyday and happy with it
its worth my money
(at least i tink so...and im not dat rich to throw RM200++ just like dat)
and knog blinder road 2 rear lights oso awesome
night ride eh?
lets plan one tongue.gif

My new bike, which I am using to ride from PJ to KL.  Trying to use it on a daily basis to go to work, but the gearing leaves me pedalling "air" when I am on the level road, worse if it is downhill.

The Problem is:  the wheels are 16 inches, the crank is 48T and the smallest rear cog is 14T.

What are my upgrade options?  any suggestions?
If you see a guy with a red helmet pedalling furiously along the road to KL, its probably me...  sad.gif

Come, bring me your bike. I will do it for you for RM250 plus all the servicing and greasing. Choose any color you desire.  tongue.gif I need 3 days to finish it.

Klang valley very hard to start bike shop lah! Everyone prefers nice looking shops like FB and Vans or GW Cycle even knowing that they cost one more arm and leg for the same thing. Moreover, beginners tend to lean to these shops thinking they are better.  blush.gif  80 percent of the business depends on beginners anyway.  I also seen another customer who took back a bike because the headset is loose and the shop can only say, " we don't know how to repair!!!  shocking.gif ". But they still flock to the shop because it's air conditioned. Hahahaha.

How do you like my new rear mirror? Compact and small. It's custom made by a local and it's available at Johnny's place  ( My Bike Shop ) for RM38.

I have also requested my friend to fabricate a brake booster (similar to Avid Arch Rival 50) using 6061 aluminium. It was supposed to have lightening holes but according to him the water jet cutting is calculated by inches!  rclxub.gif  So, he omitted the holes. I painted it and also installed it onto my bike and it really does feel different. Braking is more sure!  They secure the bosses in place which tend to flex outwards when the brake is applied. The
booster adds extra rigidity to the seat stays/forks.
