congrats new tered
this year end so many jamborees/funride/challenges
end up i cant joint all because busy
ahahaha

Pivot M6c getting some dirt and gravity in Bakam trail yesterday. Its been raining so much and part of the trail is just muddy!

Nais. How is the LB carbon rims? Am thinking about them too but dunno if its worth the money, and how long it can last.

Btw, why you put the Enve stickers on it la? IMHO, it's a bit poyo.

Hahaha...just for blink blink LOL. The carbon rim is a Nextie. Not sure how tough they are. I bought it cheap from friend's bike which is ridden 3 times only. I guess carbon rims will break if you hit it hard enough. My friend crack his ori Enve rim at Kiara last week.

Was waiting for updates on racing in previous tered... rupanya dah new tered... Popcorn time...

I don't/can't race. Basikal berat. Stamina koyak. Me just weekend rider.

Not that kind of race... got one forumner talking about MTB got only certain type of race enjoying it... I mean, wtf...

New tered, popcorn ready. But racer missing.

cannot race. tgh panjat bukit. slow slow

Rider! Rider! Tepi sikit!

Mana racer ni... my popcorn oredi masuk angin..

http://bicyclebuysell.com/item/373160/xds-romance-500

hey guys..mind to ask..for starter can u recomand model of MTB me to buying? price range 1k-2k..tq

firstpost

At this price range, buy the brand with the colour that you like, Twitter, XDS, Mosso, etc. Check out MTB Malaysia FB page or Bicycle Buy Sell for deals. Then ride until it breaks or when you need to scratch the upgrade itch.

Popcorn dah habis already la. Still no racing action. Boo.

I think the fella has decided not to start mountain biking, after seeing many malays are into mtb.

can check out Tropix bike. The brand is relaltively cheap and offer very good components. I saw my lbs selling them with XT groupset and price below RM3k.

Tropix bike

POLYGON XTRADA 6.0 MODEL 2017

purposely closed that tered, so that racer kenot edit his racing posts.

hi guys, i'm just starting to get back into mtb after about 16 year's "rest"
the progress of new tech is quite something to get used to, not to mention the aging process..getting older is definitely not for sissies,hehee..hope to learn more from u guys here

welcome back

thanx bro..

Welcome back!

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Hola guys! good to see everyone still here, sorry not posting, been super busy with other stuff.

Quick update...3 months ago, i went for a frens bachelor party in Bali...came back..weigh myself..and i was freaking 89kg

Cannot la....thats super fei hai already. So i resolved to lose weight. I still ride every week at kiara (love what DBKL has done to the tar road) but now i spin up, i dont take it slow and steady up to X roads, i make sure i ride like hell and get my cardio way up.

I also started badminton coaching twice a week (cos i cannot tahan gym, find it super boring).

And now...3 months..im down almost 7 kg...was 82kg this morning im not stopping till im 7Xkg (my pre university weight, more than 18 years ago)

hidup lagi kau rupanya
anyway, makan sure kena jaga oso rite? that's the difficult part

not much change, just cut my dinner rice down by 50-60%. i still eat chocolate, snacks etc when i want to.

aye, that right..but found out when the body refuses to recover as quick as it used to, got to me..guess i'll just have to train more then

50-60% is a lot. so hard to reduce staple food

easier than i thought. Cos i realise that i was eating till i "happy full" every night before...and now i eat until im about 90% full, no difference after dinner, i dont get hungry till next morning.

now after 3 months...i cant even eat my normal amount like last time, my stomach has shrunk, im full with just 1/2 plate rice.

carbon rise handlebar. any recommendation ? renthal, easton, raceface etc3?

have used raceface and easton carbon bars for many years, many crashes...no issues. Never tried renthal, dont like the bling bling gold colour

Wrongly reply

Is it in the color that you like?

I've use RF sixc 35mm bar. I like it. Am using santa cruz's 35mm bar now. Just as good and holding up well. Don't like renthal's colour but a few of my friends using with no issues.

meh

Carbon bar can reduce arm fatigue? Trail chatter effect

for me, yes. quite significant compared to alu bar.

color not bad, not too particular in colour..

?

dunno much about that groupset
and dunno what fork that is
so, i'd look for something else

if the colour ngam, just buy!

the groupset is an unknown quantity here..better shop & have a good look around first. it would be better if you could test ride a few bikes before deciding. the feel & geometry is different between makes
have you tried looking at polygon bikes yet..they have some sale/promotion thing going on now, if i'm not mistaken

I see, thanks for the advice

colour and price ngam, but if the built not ngam, there goes my hard earn money

I see. I been looking at polygon. My RB also polygon. I know that some of the model is on slight offer right now. BTW, i also found a used bike for sell at my place. Bike is Raleigh talon, 29er, size m, should suit me (~~175cm)

FRAME-----------------Alloy
FORK------------------Suntour XCR Susp
BAR/STEM------------Alloy straight/threadless
SADDLE---------------MTB Slim
S.POST/CLAMP-------Alloy 300mm / alloy QR
PEDAL-----------------PP body/steel cage

BRAKE-----------------Shimano Hydraulic

SHIFTER---------------Shimano rapid-fire
DERAILLEUR (F/R)----Shimano Deore FD / XT RD
CHAINWHEEL----------Shimano Deore Hollowtech II
COGSET----------------Shimano 10-spd cassette

HUBS--------------------Alloy w/QR
RIMS---------------------Alex alloy
TYRE/TUBE--------------Maxxis Crossmark / Schrader

how much you think a used unit price suitable? Asking for RM1800

why dont u shop around with ur original budget first? See what u can get. Now most shops got year end sale, to clear stock

This post has been edited by miaopurr: Nov 22 2016, 07:16 PM

you can try to look for Kosa Elite with 10 speed shimano deore instead, basically the same bike just different groupset.

using renthal carbon+renthal apex stem..

for me, it has d best sweep n rise...

6k can get used full-sus 26" bike in BBS.com..

or, u can add some money, go FOOK SANG n get a lapierre bike..value buy..9k can get a good bike edy..

poligon now very heong. not bad

All sifu, i am beginner and intend to buy a used MTB for practise.

What do you think of this one advertised by seller>?
http://bicyclebuysell.com/item/379518/moun...hantom-2-0-blue

that price i think u can get a used bike with better spec

Ah, thanks. ANy other website where i could find good deal, preferably used.

fb. Got local fb groups where members can sell their stuff

Hi wanna ask as beginner mountain biker. Can 26er frame size 15.5 (missile) , wheelset 26er, put handlebar Pro-Lite 31.8 width 710mm ? stem 90mm. Its ok or to width ? coz my handlebar using now is 600mm Funn and not cozy for me when biking coz its short.

Hope opinion TQ.

This post has been edited by carnine9: Nov 25 2016, 03:48 AM

hard to say, personal preference la
but 90mm stem + 7xx mm bar, macam tak ngam je.
u try first n see

Your current config is 90mm stem with 600mm? If you use 710mm, it'll be wider, thus making you bend forward more... is this what you want? If yes, by all means, go ahead. Besides, if the 710mm doesn't fit you, you can always change back to the 600mm or cut the 710mm bar.

depends on where u ride. jamboree trails, no need. kiara, of course. pcp, good to have.

glove is a must
knee depends on trails
elbow optional. good to have

panic resources if u want leatt

imo, start riding jamboree trails first. pcp trails are fine, just that there are some switchbacks with rocks that might overwhelm newbies. i don't know how u ride. maybe u can try go pcp, if u r not confident at those switchbacks, just dismount n walk.

not literally join jamboree events. I mean, regular offroad trails

ok thanks for opinion guys. i try cut prolite handlebars to 680mm coz dont have jual 680mm. its only 720mm. Sorry not 710mm.

My cockpit n seatpost n saddle i love same brands but tight budget. just ride for funn.

BTW tq for reply.

If the cabling too messy can tight a cable tie on the clevis (notice closely, there's a place for cable tie), the black coloured hard short tube came with the frame.

U may find something diameter as a straw, length originally are 1cm (may taller as you he bigger shock), hard rubberised material as replacement.

I got a friend wanna sell off his mach 6 carbon...

welcome back bro..guess we're in the same boat. watching some of the MTB videos online gave me the heebie jeebies now, age may be the factor now.

IMHO, gloves & a brain bucket is compulsory for any kind of cycling.

i usually go hunting thru bicycle buy sell.com site & FB pages. you might stumble across some good deals now & then. but wutever it is, enjoy ur ride

Just got back from my first trip to Chiang Mai. What an awesome experience. Tried the famous Bamboo, Scout Camp Gee House and ATV trails among others. All of them are like Kiara x20, where everything is gnarlier, bigger and longer. Endos, arm pumps and brakes overheating is real.

If you love Kiara, Chiang Mai is a must go. Not much photos of the trails but sharing 2 photos here.


Steepest rock garden. Ever. This is at the ATV trail. At least 70 degrees steep, with big ass rocks.


The bottom of another long, fast, and steep drop with big roots and ruts. Just hold on to the rear brake and hang on!

ATV looks gooding..almost like TNT trail but with big rocks, gonna go there someday...

the second pic not my type of trail, straight down..sure its fast but if theres nothing technical, it kinda kills it

Got jumps?

ATV is the bomb. Must try at Chiang Mai. The second pic a bit too far away. It's a long, steep technical section with roots and rocks. Quite fun also.

Got a few small and mid size jumps here and there. We didn't go to the trails with proper big jumps. Most of us don't really do jumps anyways. Small balls.

at last, the sun shines! got to ride again after almost a week of downtime..wut did i learned from my ride today? never underestimate what a pair of padded cycling underwear/shorts can do to your ride. since i got back to cycling last month, i tried to hack it, just ride in my normal baggy shorts, but after a while..yup, u guessed it.. i can't feel my 'friends' down under. not to mention the uncomfortable feeling while u pedal, no bloody wonder i felt tired so soon into my rides. tried adjusting the saddle but it helps only a little. then i got myself a pair of padded undies & today was the first time i rode wearing it. wow it feels like sitting on a cloud, even on my hard OEM saddle.
so, my advice to other newbies or rusty born-again MTB rider like me..get them padded shorts/undies..ur 'friends' down under will thank you for it & you 'll have one less thing to worry about on ur rides..

putrajaya challenge park? which segment exactly?

if u haven't cycled for a while, that's normal la. takes a little time for ur down under to harden up. no pun intended.

Share video link please...
Nevermind, found it.


Please don't try to jump if you have no idea what you're doing...

i never wear chamois for riding b4 this
lazy to buy and price quite
then last month wear it because last time rode long distance quite uncomfortable for my lower part LOL
but i never felt numb anywhere

what i can say is....wah...so comfort

from vid, trail looks like normal
maybe he should stand further behind to balance front wheel?

There are a bit of things to look at. Body positioning, the way he attacked the jump or could be he slipped his foot or accidentally pressed his brakes.

eh this part where got pipu ride laaa...

This is the terrace area kan? *sigh* Long time since I went to PCP.

not sure la terrace or not. but it's here

why would we?

1. pipu ride the entire trails shown on the map above. that trail u took, exits to the road. nobody exits there. there are trails with proper jumps at other areas within PCP.
2. not braking at all doesn't mean skillful or advanced skills. that's just dumb. braking is to control speed, so u can ride faster n safer.

wah thats gmbn dudes i jelly
i better watch mtbtips.com
i am slow rider
hahaha

whats the average cost for bleeding brake? my lbs charges rm30 per brake, is the price high or ok?

usually rm50 front n rear. Maybe now it has gone up
