Hi guys,

Im a newbie. I plan to buy an mtb with 3.5k budget. I went to lbs just now and saw some polygon, specialized and trs bikes. What do you think of these models:
1. Polygon siskiu 7 29er - rockshox recon silver, shimano deore/xt mix etc http://www.polygonbikes.com/ww/bikes/descr...2017-siskiu29-7
2. TRS Missile 27.5 - carbon body, Cross SID air fork. etc
https://www.mhcycle.com/trs-missle-275

Both are hardtails and price just below 3.5k.

Thanks bro. I thought the trs carbon frame is nice n cheap.

Yup. As suggested by a lbs yesterday. But no stock everywhere. Need to preorder.

Hi guys.
Initially i plan to buy polygon siskiu 7 too. Frame not so bad, good specs with the price and hv many authorized dealers around. Suddenly found this ghost tacana 5 and bought it because of the color. Lol. Not bad but the forks are quite stiff. Havent tried off road yet.

Already adjusted during fitting at the bike shop. Is the shock pump a must have tools?

Yea man. 😁 Price a bit higher than polygon siskiu 7. RM 3800 with some discounts.

I think after raya only can do offroads. Now every night i go kayuh for 30-60mins just to build up some stamina. Thanks!

Wow. I thought rm3400 can get siskiu 7 already. Damn gst.

Looks nice to me. 😍

Raceface chester copy?

Ok thanks for the advice. I think i'll buy the shock pump and play around with the setup.

I wonder are those cheap sea sucker style rack (with the suction cups) reliable?

Its very cheap. Hope it can hold well at 150kmh-ish on the highway. I'm always commuting between kemaman-kuantan-kl every week.

If your light produce true 1000lumen i think it is more than enough. It is damn bright already. If 8000lm, i think even batman in gotham city can see the light. I know because i have a 1000lm camping headlight. i rarely used the high setting because its so bright that i might hurts my friends eyes. 450lm is adequate enough.

IMO, what @thurtin did is the best way. Use a handlebar light and a headlight mount on the helmet.


P/s: Chill. When puasa perut kosong can easily get emo or angry. Patience is virtue. No need to tampar ppl one. Hihi. Peace..!

Buy a bottle of GLO lemon (the liquid dishwashing soap) and mix 50/50 with water in a sprayer bottle. I'm using this and it works just like the branded ones.

Nope. I don't think so. Dishwashing liquid is softer than detergent and safe on bike paint.
