I am going to ride hulu langat perez area this weekend.. anyone know can brief if the terrain there is monstrous?

it really depends on how far you go. from the bottom, its a 9km climb up to the top where the state border is. from there, its another 13km of rolling hills (4 of them) till you reach the rest stop. Personally I find the rolling hills to be worse than the 9km climb

Is there any GPS tracked map? maybe I can have an insight.. sigh worried if I am going to be able to catch up with them.. they say they do 25km/h on avg.. I only did 27km/h on my last ride and it's not that hilly too..

this' the route that I did: http://maps.google.com/?q=http://share.abv...120115-0643.kml

The route that you're taking may be different, but for the hills I was referring to, look at KM 53 to 97. KM 75 where we did the U turn is where the rest stop is.

wow 6.43am - 1.10pm.. I will be late for appointment if it takes that long...

What the best fixie tire size for road ride with weight size 90kg? 700x28c ok?

well, it really depends on the actual route you're cycling. for us, we had an hour break sometime in between, cooling our feet at a stream. then another water break after that too.

this one although a bit different route is more informative... i guess... got elevation map since it's a hilly ride..

looking at the map.. the first incline dunno where that is.. is more painful than the 2nd one i think...

2nd one ascends 330 meters in under 10K... should be ... jus dun try to ride too fast and blow up before the top of the hill.. i trust they will wait up for people who exited from the back since they know it's a hilly route...

yeah, the first incline is a bigger killer. only around 2.5km, but its a steep climb all the way up, but followed by a very nice downhill after. Anybody knows whether that's the one they call the Bukit Burung Hantu?

this i think is a much more torturing ride i think...

They always call it hantu for not sure what reason... cannot found the name on google map either..


imagine if it's a main road which i think it is.. diesel lorry going up, puffing "MALAYSIA STANDARD" of gas emission.. cyclist gonna cried hard and live shorter I Guess

it's OK la... the rest of the route you get fresh air to compensate

i wonder why my posts always go missing.. i posted 3 and 2 gone missing.... shizer...

Any idea what brand/price of torque wrench is suitable for bicycle use?

think i seen the mechanical one being sold at KSH before...

i rather jus let the bike shop do it... as it is quite an expensive tool and have to take care of it very much.. and test it's accuracy constantly if you want to be spot on...

Ya better go shop and borrow the thing to check the torque value myself... pening seeing diff size/type of nuts/bolts/torque values

Or just "borrow" my company torque wretch back and "return" it the next day
