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...

what abt 1.95 size guys ? different tube w my current one (Kenda Small Block Eight, 26 x 2.1 )

most of the time 1.9 shares the same tube as 2.1.

but best to check what is said on the box before you buy...

as an example you can see here..
http://www.kendausa.com/en/home/bicycle/bi...ycle-tubes.aspx

they will write like 26x1.9/2.125 for both 1.9 and 2.1.

Thanxs guys..

I'll go and ask those shop you mentions. Hopefully there's a bike that can suite me..

QUOTE(butthead @ Jan 4 2012, 09:40 AM)
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...

hope you find a suitable one...

20" i believe they rarely stock up on all model and ranges... but try to ask around before you go or you end up wasting petrol...

make sure you get the model down and a rough price estimation before you go so you can do your research online or run it through the sifus in the mountain biking heaven section.

Out of curiosity, why 1.9, and not something thinner?

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  blink.gif 

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.
http://www.sapim.be/index.php?st=products&sub=racetools

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

been wondering about this too. suspect its the different climate effecting the dust that causes it to stick more than anything. And well, for claims on not attracting dirt, I'll believe it when I see it smile.gif

thought they just hump each other when they're bored... not some metal skeleton...

the guai los must have done their testing in a green room where there is not a spec of dirt... that is where their assumption came from...

bet they'll go like

Installation is easy enough actually. Also its something that you should learn how to do on your own too.
