come on guys, keep this thread alive!!

anyone wan to sell his used bike? MTB..

MTB owners, if U're riding are done predominantly on the road, pls change to slick tires. Or better still, have 2 sets of wheels, one set knobby & 1 set slicks. U'd look really, really silly & inexperienced riding knobbies on the road. Change it to slicks at the time of buying, most shops will just change it for free. What do U get by riding slicks ? Better control, better grip, much, much lower rolling resistance, better speed, better cornering, everything better & less rookie factor.

Also, a word of advice for newbies or rookie riders. It's absolutely crucial for U to get Ur position right on the bike. Any good shop or experienced rider can help U with positioning. First, U have to get Ur bike size correct (I'm talking about road bikes here). For normal, typical bike frames, a rider with 175cm height should choose bikes with 52-54cm seat tube (centre to centre). But with the advent of bikes with smaller main triangle nowadays, it's okay to go for shorter seat tubes, but Ur seatpost must be of correct height. I think U can Google this sizing chart up. A 6-footer might choose 56cm seat tube.

Bikes with smaller main triangle will be stiffer than those with big/normal ones. But a small main triangle could lead to other irregular parts. Example, U'll need a longer stem (sometimes with zero rise), longer seat post, longer crankarms, etc. Bikes with small main triangles was made popular by Chris Boardman, world champion pursuiter & world hour record holder.

Ur position on bike, with the order of importance is as follows :
1. Seat height (incorrect seat height could lead to knee problems)
2. Top tube length (incorrect top tube length could lead to back problems)
3. Stem length (same as #2)
4. Handlebar width (too wide & handling will be slow, too narrow will cause very nervous handling)

From my observation, nowadays most riders prefer to be quite stretched out when riding. But there's no point having extreme positions if U can't apply full power to the pedals. Get advice from experienced riders. I often can point out positioning mistakes/problems just by observing the way some riders ride. Also, when riding on the bar tops, relax Ur arms & bend slightly on the elbows, U'll experience less fatigue than if Ur arms are stiff & straight.

anyone went for the recent Broga race last Sunday?

not agree..

Good for U.
