QUOTE(lightning69 @ Nov 14 2016, 12:09 PM) 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.  |

Then ride until it breaks or when you need to scratch the upgrade itch. |

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! This post has been edited by thurtin: Nov 29 2016, 01:49 PM |

QUOTE(ahchat @ Dec 1 2016, 07:25 PM) ATV looks gooding..almost like TNT trail but with big rocks, gonna go there someday... 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.the second pic not my type of trail, straight down..sure its fast but if theres nothing technical, it kinda kills it |

QUOTE(bocky @ Dec 1 2016, 10:57 PM) Got jumps? 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. |

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Dec 20 2016, 09:22 AM) never owned or rode one before, but their frames look good. But their rear thru axle size, kinda odd. Maybe hard to find the hub and axle. Bikes now use 142 or 148. my friend has a Dartmoor Hornet and uses it regularly for Kiara. It's a nice AM hardtail no doubt, but yeah the only thing is the rear axle size. It's the older 135 x 10 mm QR type. If you don't mind that, it's a decent frame to build on. I believe the newer models have been updated with the 142 x 12 mm TA rear axle, but not sure if its available locally already. |

QUOTE(Cyphereza @ Dec 21 2016, 08:47 AM) I would recommend you get the best safety for your feet. I bought my Shimano AM7 for RM350 from Rodalink in May. Once I used my DVS skate shoes, and ended up fracturing (hairline) my medial cuneiform. The way they're design to absorb shock is different than of a proper mountain bike shoe. Why not try look at Shimano? I think it is not that expensive compared to Teva, 5-10. Their designs are badass too. Shimano AM7 » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « You could also use Shimano AM5 and AM9 if later you decided to go clipless.  Pros: Very comfy, doesn't feel chunky, got lace cover to keep water out, cheaper than FiveTen, can adjust your feet while on the pedal easier than FiveTen, slightly more ankle support Cons: Not as grippy as FiveTen while on the pedal and when walking, your feet may "jump" a bit when going through technical stuff After trying FiveTen and this, i will go back to the FiveTen. I prefer a grippier feel on the pedal. |

QUOTE(ahchat @ Jan 2 2017, 09:31 PM) guys...cane creek headset or chris king? My friend has used both before. He said CK is less robust than CC. His CK on his Nomad developed play after a short while. Maybe coz the slack 65 degree angle thats puts a lot of pressure on it. Bear in mind also that he is quite the aggressive rider. He is using CC 110 now and so far so good. currently using FSA stock come with the bike...got rattling sound...thinking of changing to a high-end headset I'm also using CC 110 and so far so good. IINM, both CK and CC 110 around the same price, about RM500+. |

QUOTE(_dan @ Jan 9 2017, 09:26 PM) Hi guys This bike is ok to start off with. Shouldn't cost too much with that kind of specs. Im looking for new MTB. My budget is in the range of RM5,000 to RM9000..I will use more on off road trail. Could you guys suggest bicycle that suits my need and financial budget? Wht you guys opinion on this specialize crave29 Tq sifus 5k to 9k is a healthy budget, can look at a lot of options. Go to a few bike shops and look at different models. The bike you buy really depends on what kind of riding you want to do. Do you like really technical, steep, rocky stuff? Maybe you prefer easier, flatter, more chill type off roading. Maybe you don't like riding off road after all and prefer a road bike on the roads? Once you get bitten by the bug, you will find out very quickly what kind of bike that suits your regular riding. |
