Hey guys..

I am in the mid of coming up a forum dedicated for cyclist.

What do you guys think?

I have the skeleton already.
Would you guys want a more focus forum to talk about purely cycling stuff?

Your feedback is very much appreciated.
Not forgotten your suggestion or inputs.

Talk about cycling culture. no matter what your ride is. no matter if its a cheap tesco bike. no matter how skillful you are. no matter how fast you can go. as long as one appreciates the most efficient machine ever invented by man: the bicycle

what do you guys think about conti 4000s tire? does it available in KL market and how much? thx

Not sure about detonator but I saw this on facebook selling CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX 4000S 700X23C / 23-622
RM180



Link

Evanscycles selling for USD45.45 each,
if order 1 delivery = USD 12.63.
If order 2, delivery = free
So if order 1 set convert back to MYR is USD90.89 = RM 274 (RM137 each)

Not promote anything, just sharing what i found so its up to you

you can try the Michelin's if you don't mind the price...think rodalink has some but not sure which model... tyre choices are quite limited here.. it is either, maxxis, conti, panaracer which is the usual suspect...

i would take the conti ultra sport personally.. i like those and they are fairly cheap compared to gp4000's but heavier and not as smooth rolling...

or like mr.jgx.. conti gp4000's...

maybe you and maxxis tak ngam... keep detonating on you...

detonators you have to see if you are getting fold-able or the normal wired ones... foldable is RM85- RM100 depending on who you buy from...

around RM150 i think... the shop you bought your bike from carries them... i saw it before along with panaracers...

Rm150? Within budget...cant wait to max out my current tires and buy a new set of tires..i hate the white color of my vittoria rubino sidewall..i want them to be all black! However it seems that my current tires get a lot of good reviews for its durability and cheap price (less than gbp15).

Or should i stay with vittoria and upgrade to rubino pro? Anyone know the price?

i think it is around RM150... can't confirm if it is that price.. furthermore.. it will take a long time to run out a pair of tyres... unless you lock the rear up every now and then.. then, that is just giving yourself an excuse to change ...

hard to get vittoria's in KL or you would have seen a lot of corsa evo cx around already...

if money is no issue.. you can aim for anything with 320tpi thread count.. it should offer a more smoother ride compared to most entry level 120tpi ones...

Thx butthead. Smoother ride and lower rolling resistance at a cost to the durability am i right?

Btw how much is garmin edge 500 here in malaysia and is it recommendable over is big brothers? I read reviews and seems that the mapping route can be exported to my mapmyride apps (my only exercise logging apps as it is free).

The reason is mapping a route using my iphone can really bring its battery to red and i didnt want to resort in bringing two mobile phones for my cycling activities.

Dare to wear this?

more or less... i think the durability with the GP4000 won't be too bad since there are quite a lot of people using it without complaints....

edge 500 for the head unit itself is around RM750 i think.. but if you bundle it with the cardio strap and cadence sensor.. i think it comes to around RM950 to 1k...

the big difference between 500 and 800 is the navigation portion, if you don't need navigation then go with the 500 since it is a couple hundred bucks cheaper... other than that, 500 also lacks color screen... display fields are configurable on both...

i was considering the edge models as well before.. until i came to realize that their battery runs flat quite fast which is a no go for me... i won't like to be charging it every couple of rides and i don't have much use for GPS tracking...

didn't really like the cadence speed sensor as well.. i think the design looks like a merida one i owned before which koyaks very fast especially in rain...


not a chance in hell...

wah! macam captain america

I want the captain America jersey....as it is my family have taken to calling me ultra man when I wear my cycling outfit haha....

I'd like to join the ft day ride if I am free that day...sounds like a fun event.

Quick weekend ride report. Happy time, managed to take in 3 rides over the last two days. Got my new MTB over the week and rode it out Saturday morning. Had an easy ride then ended up in green bike shop in Sri petaling to do a bike check.

That afternoon, did a series of climbs on my roadie with a buddy leaving from PJ to penchala. The hills around kiara and SCC were plenty tough.

Finally, joined the bike hash Sunday morning. Fun ride into oil plantations a bit muddy and grimy but lots of fun. More climbing done.... But fun descents all the way.

How was your weekend guys?

Hey guys,u all shud check this, Cheap cheap tyre
