if I've splurged out that kinda money on a 404 then I'll worry about that

still more aerodynamic than the old mickey mouse lights that I used before

juz received my parcel from cycling express..quite impressed with their speed
..ordered on friday, received today, not even using the express shipping option

vittoria open corsa evo cx

i like vittoria corsa evo...or conti force and attack also not too bad i think.,

supersonik? it's BS... buy latex...

schwalbe? conti's lighter la. the fella wants weightweenie stuff

I can afford what. Just I use my money in a better way. If the shop stated "once tried must buy" and I didn't buy, then I'm are fault of course.
Don't tell me you never try something and choose not to buy? Or saw something, tried but didn't get it. But later u saw cheaper price and u didn't buy but still go back to the more expensive shop and buy there?

OK. I admit I'm cheapskate but guess this is typical Malaysian mentality. Even I have plenty cash to spend, cheaper by half and I don't opt it, I must be pretty idiot.

things i need to actually try in a shop (shoes, clothing, etc), i don't buy online. if i need to test these stuff in an LBS, i honour them by buying from them. sure i can test, see if it fits, and go back home click click on the internet. but no, i've never done that. i've cycled for years, but i've never done that. i honour my LBS.

sure i've tried stuff but decided not to buy them. but that's because they didn't fit me actually i never test stuff i can't afford. i'd look for something else, in another LBS. not online shop. because online shop can never provide me the opportunity to let me try them on.

i've bought parts online, but i installed them myself.

and please don't stereotype others.

LBS aka Rodalink as they are the distributor.and I went.there when I was in kl. they don't have my size. I was quoting the price . The fellow I tried in penang sell in bbs. Go check. Good_deal
Do u think I'm from penang and my LBS will be Rodalink?

actually u lost me there. u didn't say anything about no size/stock. u just mentioned the price.

whatever. u've made ur point, and i've made mine. cerita panjang pun tak habis.

let's move on.

No prob. I'm 187cm tall guy. Not easy to find shoes.
Let's move on.

er..what's the difference between:

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/vittoria-corsa-cx-...cher-road-tyre/

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/vittoria-open-cors...-clincher-tyre/

actually.. the question should not be about weight... it should be about decreased rolling resistance

for example..

vittoria latex road tube is about 75gr
http://www.vittoria.com/product/inner-tubes/

michellin aircomp latex is about 80gr
http://www.michelinbicycletire.com/micheli...rcomplatex.view

conti race 28 (the standard butyl one) is about 105gr (this is retailed at RM26)

conti race 28 light is about 65gr (haven't seen it, but should be latex pricing)

and the most extreme conti supersonic is 50gr (mind, you this is a RM70++ tube in KH) and it is known to just puncture very easily as it is ultrathin butyl
http://www.conti-online.com/www/download/b...ad/Tubes_en.pdf

latex is better in rolling resistance and is less prone to pinch flats (not punctures but pinch flats)... and as rumor suggest, it is comfier even at higher pressures because the material expands more easily than the harder butyl tubes...

and to further prove it's the better choice... it is the tube that is sewn into most high end tubulars... you say, is weight or rolling resistance more important?

and fug man... 20 grams dun count lar... that fella not at that level man...

when one start, shaving 3 grams off a skewer, boring out the stem and sawing and filing seatpost only start telling me 20 grams is important to...

else, dun "ngiow" on small numbers... it makes jack shit difference when it punctures and worst.. the price of replacing the tubes... i jus buy maxxis tubes bro.. sorry...

i think they write wrongly lar...

always look at manufacturer site...

open corsa is clincher while corse is tubular...
http://www.vittoria.com/product/cotton-tires/

the r1 is not worth 1k to me... not even rm500 in fact... i have 1k.. i'd buy mavic huez without thinking twice..

Haha thx. I chat with wiggle so called expert person and he confirmed that the one tyre is the latest ver than the other one. He must have no clue about it either. Shame.

Ya, the mavic one looks cun!

maybe they know some inside story that we don't?

it's very well ventilated...

and to top it off... i'll also invest in a defeet unDIce or a craft cool superlight mesh base layer... that'll be sweet...
