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..

what brand? bought where? how much?
knee pads for xcm? can try G-Form. u wanna ride where?
my baggies inner sudah rosak. then wear xc ghey bibs as the inner. but oso now close to rosak oredi. one thing i don't like about wearing xc ghey bibs, the lycra is licin, so my baggies always slips down. everytime kena tarik atas. u got no prob like that?

what's the reason for siskiu over xtrada? frame? fork? or groupset?
Thanks for the suggestion
*
like miao said, 29'' vs 27''
me riding siskiu6 29er
technical maneuver and trail feel less nimble than 27'' wheel
and for short rider, better go for 27'' for better geometry
100mm is sufficient for me xc trail berlubang and fire road
but because bigger rolling size, its provide 'cover' for me if sudden hit bump or drop
so far me saved from otb XD

but that all from my exp and opinion
me just rider taman XD

another thing is, the fork is hydraulic? or air?
