dun think this tent will prevent ur bike from getting rush though... seems like u need a vacuum bag more then a tent...

i think any of them who have a beloved ride would not risk leaving it outside exposed to the elements...

unless you are willing to spend exorbitant amounts of money for one that is made for bikes...

just put a huge piece of tarp over it and make sure it is covered properly and won't contain and store water if it ever drips through...

get it checked over and greased regularly by shops... well taken care ones shouldn't be afraid of a bit of moisture...

you are not living by the sea are you?

u can get a bike cover frm daisho for RM5. it is a bit thin though, better than nothing,
a few months change once

Motorbike cover is available from Jusco for about RM50 or so.

Thanks all for the advices and suggestions! sigh..I'm having dilema to store the bikes outdoor too. I can store the bike indoor but that will definitely make the house looks ugly. (you've just made me feeling sorry to my bike.. I should rethink it again )

No I'm not living by the sea.

I'm thinking to DIY something like this, using wood and pieces, may be some PVC pipe, and some tarp/ canvas as the waterproof elements.

hmm..i think the little structure can stand the weather but moist will definitely get into it..

Motorbike cover is a good idea.. i should check it out in Jusco!

If you're wanting to get road slick tires, then you're likely to be wanting something lighter and faster that you can use on the road. So might as well get something slimmer like the 1.5. 1.95 is still kinda big.

I don't notice any difference in difficulties in handling when I first used the 1.5, but its noticeably lighter than the 2.2 knobby tires.

Okey , will note that bro ..

don't mind me being frank... but that will look like those alam flora dumpster on your porch when you close it up... and the size of that thing is not small too...

don't your condo or apartment have a small store closet you can stick the bike inside or hang it on the wall be it inside the closet or indoors?

i think there is also 1.4s and the lowest for a usual rim that will fit a 2.2 would be a 26 x 1.25 if i am not wrong. have to swap tubes though.

any lower would be 26 x 1.1 but that will have to change to a wheelset with narrower rims i believe.. not cost efficient.

Morning guys..

I'm a newbie here and I'm a 6' 4" guy..
I've surveyed around the web and find out that for my height the frame size is 21". Can somebody tell me where can i get complete MTB 20" to 21" frame? Hope fully can get around selangor and n9 area coz I'm living in n9.

Thanx alot in advance

chances are that you'll need to get the shops to custom order for you.

Don't think you will have a lot of models available in that size.

But call up the shops before you go


KSH SS2 - 03 7877 0450 Yeap (merida / acor titanium i've seen they carry frames only)
KSH TTDI - 03 7727 5173 Leong (BH and a couple of other MTB brans i am not to familliar with)
Bike Pro - 03 7805 1989 Mr. Tan (scott and YETI and a recent titanium brand)
Joo Ngan Son - 03 7727 8743 Mr. Edwin Ng (can't really remember but i think they have raleigh?)
KH Cycle - 03 7722 2999 Jackie (KHS and a couple of other brands i think)
GH Speebikes - 03 6142 9303 Too many people there, can't remember who to call best (specialized)

More nearer accessible from N9 i think,

in Sri Petaling

Greenbike
Joo Ngan
Pedalspot

don't have contact number for those and i think can't be found on net also or i might be wrong... never been there as well.. just passed by once to cari makan and saw those shops.

look up here... there is even more shops and you might find one nearer to you...

I just stick my bike next to my door

Yeah, seen the 1.25 used on a MTB rim. But even on the 1.5, I've already need to swap the tubes. Not too sure about the fit of the 1.1 though

lets jus hope your family ain't those door kicking type or your bike will get door banged all the time... dinged up frame and stuff...

i do remember 1.1 will require a narrower rim if you are capable of running 2.5s..

if memory serves me well which it doesn't most often. 1.75 and 1.5 are the same tube and 1.25 will be a totally different tube...

Nah.. I make sure there's enough space for the door to completely clear my bike

Only thing that I really need to watch out for is to make sure that my rabbit does not do anything funny to my bike

what can i rabbit do to your bike... hump your tires?

if you say a dog, i'd be scared.. heard of multiple cases where bike owners tyres explode at home because the dog bit the tires...

god, buy them a chewy toy man... much cheaper than your expensive set of rubber...

Their teeth can be scary, especially when they chew on things to grind it down.

But he seems to leave my bike alone these days. don't seem to care much for the taste of lubricant oil

at least you won't be another statistic for pet induced tire blowups...

it'd be one thing to say the dog ate your tire.. but a furry bunny...is unacceptable...

talking of lube... it is shit hard to find good lubes in malaysia.. it is just the standard orgy of finish line, interflon, pedros, motorex and the stuff...

have tried most of them and they are never good with dirt no matter how i drip the lube, drain, leave it overnight, wipe and all the usual drills that they teach, or maybe particularly the dirt here is different from the dirt in the european countries

would be interested to try both of this... claims to not attract dirt which is most probably a 95% lie... and rock n roll lube even claims to wash the chain for you... hard to acquire in malaysia and both online... never ship to malaysia.

another is sapim race oil.. can't even find they list them as an individual product.

i was interested as the oil looks quite light by comparison.
