so far I din heard any 1 got tax on bike yet...

planing to get 1 myself...LG mx5...

they told me just ride a bit to get some mud on your bike than bag it and check in...

used BMX tire... lot's to choose from....

I thought last Sunday u guys have Penang ride wat? So happening? U didn't join?

well, I wasn't aware of that till last week so couldn't join in time

not sure if I'd enjoy events as much as just cycling on my own exploring places..

gotta wait other penangites for more inputs

I'll probably try balik pulau first as mentioned by max

gclub site, already have many ride maps..

oso ahpek biker blog frequented pg few times, got a few maps...

check around on net, u will find some infos..
some prefer to check in as 'sports equipment'.
and claim that the workers will less likely to trash it
cos they know its 'sports', if u hide it in luggage,
they just treat it as normal baju etc... campak aje..

this is frm ahpek blog..
http://ahpekbiker.blogspot.com/2013/07/bro...g-brompton.html

for bikes, i heard fully assembled road racing bike is tax free.
stuff like mtb will kena, if la u unlucky...

once in klia i saw an airport staff, roll out a complete racing bike
and gave it to the passenger, it wasn't even wrapped.

Yeah, not easy to find. Most of the shop carry 26er

try to get this generic bmx tyre lo..
probably local made,

wonder y this fler sell RM200? said its vintage...??

Tyre rubber having a max shelf life of 5 years. If vintage, I will pass. If vsop, I will take it. Muahaha

Try to find same tyre, not gettin d one frm bbs tht claims to b vintage

the routes look good but it's been raining everyday here, hu hu

It's raining season at the end of the year. Just have to catch the trend. Normally it will rain early morning or late afternoon. I went to cycle in Putrajaya last Saturday, just managed to do one round before it started raining at around 4 PM. The cycling route is completely empty, maybe most of them went for CFAL.

yup. roadbike will be considered as sport equipment so it is tax free.. others will be leasure equipment which is subjected to tax.. percentage forgot alrd how much, previously asked custom at bukit kayu hitam. if you bring in from bolehland to thailand you will need to declare at our side first when come back they will check whether it is the same or not if not then pandai pandailah kelentong... but if you are thais then no issue lah bring in here even new one kastam did not really kacau them, previously got to know an uncle from thailand he bring in new trek mtb for a friend of his (about rm800 cheaper then here) and i gonna ask him to get a 2nd@3rd hand touring bike for me but lost his contact number ... so now i still cycling around n hope to met him again...

It is getting annoying trying tol fold my newly bought MKS FD-5!! Damn it jes didn't fold. Even tried pushing the pin and it still won't budge! Ish ish, regret betul buying this MKS!

doesnt it come with instructions?
mebe its not the pin...
if not push, then try pull... ?

my guess...
lift up the pin... it is spring operated?
then pull out the pedal and push it upward... .. main tembak...

cos by looking at the construction, no way u can push it , so it should be pulled/flipped
aft releasing a lock which is the pin

raining season?

try this...
if u think u can balance well on the bicycle...
wait till u try a roller..
small wheels.. no problem,.. just more concentration needed...



until u can do these...

raining, so just mess around.

Wheels running Big apples on Kinetix Comp
then change to Kojaks on Kinetix Pro, can feel immediate difference, lighter, faster.

Don't have Duranos, if not, I think may be able to be even lighter and faster.
