QUOTE(adriankhoo153 @ Aug 21 2013, 10:05 AM) There is a constant thud thud thud sound each time I pedal. Not sure where it come from. If not pedaling but bike is rolling, there is no such sound. Hence it could be crankset or gear etc? Anyone can help me on this issue? Sometime back, I had the same problem. I thought that my cheap folding pedal gave way. But after I installed a new pair of the same cheap brand folding pedals, some sound can be heard. I decided to install my old stock unfolding pair. Haha.. Got sound. The problem was not the pedal. My close examine found that the lock ring of the bottom bracket became loose. How come? 3 monh old branded bike. Must QC problem. Later sent my bike to the dealer to tighthen the bracket...

Some MTB bikers prefer not to use the rear derailleur guards/protectors because when it hits the rock, the force may rip out the whole bike dropout. It would be costly to replace the frame.
You can buy a used protector. Spray with black paint and it will become new. Once I saw about 15 pieces of used protectors in the toolbox in a bicycle shop. I believe that after servicing those used Japanese bicycles, they prefer not to install them back. No need those guards for city or taman riding....

I went to Rodalink Klang this morning for Merdeka Sale.
Tern Bikes 20% Tern Accessories 20% Dahon Bikes 15% Dahan Accessories 20% Biologic Products 50% Topeak Products 20%
I met a gentleman who was looking at Tern Link D8. He finally bought the Tern Link P9 after listening to my recommendation. He also bought a carry-on cover.
I bought a Polygon Cargo MTB shorts with detachable padded underwear for RM90 after 50%. It has 4 pockets and good for use on touring. It looks like normal shorts, thus can use for weekend shopping shorts. Haha.

Another good piece to pick up from the Rodalink is the Biologic Blast Airhorn. Now it is given 50% off from the normal price of RM120. After discount, RM60. Super cheap.
You can horn to alert your friends during the ride to indicate you need help. Statistic has shown that about 70% cyclists being hit from sides. Many times, I horned at the vehicles coming from left side as the vehicles parked at road side blocking the view of the drivers when rolled down the road.
