I got most of my stuff from Taobao. If you know where to find, you can get very good deal. I got my Rockshox Lyrik for slightly over Rm2k only!

QUOTE(thurtin @ Jul 11 2017, 02:06 PM) Chainreaction Cycles or CRC is the devil. Lol. A lot of ppl buy from them so you can shop with confidence. Be careful with shipping large items or big orders as it can be quite expensive. Also be warned that our dear kastam has been known to tax shipments from CRC. CRC is indeed the devil and it has tried to invoked my impulse buying... lolWill keep in mind both the shipping amount (or I will be taxed) as well as those local postal service (a couple of my stuff they nicked it... ) I planned to have it shipped to Aus coz it's mostly free shipments and safer (my bro over there was the one who poisoned me with CRC and few other online shops) and later ask someone to or himself bring it back for me when they visit. |

QUOTE(shadow111 @ Jul 17 2017, 09:49 PM) Quite skinny tyre and you are not that heavy. For on road, try between 25 to 35 psi. You don't need to put too much air when just riding on road because it may be too harsh and the extra air doesn't really help you go faster. At the end of the day, you only know what is the ideal pressure for your bike, tyre, preference. Don't be afraid to play around with different pressures. |

QUOTE(shadow111 @ Jul 17 2017, 11:43 PM) Basically, the lower the grippier.. you need lower air pressure at the front, higher at the back to compensate your weight on the rear wheel.. too much air, then the ride will be bumpy and less traction.. too low, then easy to pinch.. Try my setup above, i think ok dah tu.. |

If just on road, shouldn't make a difference. Just find the right pressure and ride.Try my setup above, i think ok dah tu.. |
