Hi cyclist, never knew this thread exist for people who cycle.

anyway how much would a regular rear blinker cost? how long does the battery last?

and what light u guys use for front light? cuz my current light require 4 AA batteries which wears out quite quickly.

I got my 2 blinkers @ RM25 with battery supply (3V)
Usually the battery can last for months as you only use at night

front light preferably go for cat eye (my suggestion), which offer better brightness

Guys!
How much would a basic bike cost?
And basic gadgets like helmet guards, or gloves?

Newgen...

Your question is too superficial for us to recommend you.

You want a road bike | mountain bike | touring | folding ??

helmet, guards, gloves are very important to protect you from severe damages when you fall from bike or hit by car or something.

would suggest u to pay a visit to few bike shops to have a feel of the items

ghoster,
I guess fix bike that you see out there are towards lifestyle (colorful / attractive). Some might not even have brake!!!!

Road bike on the other hand, focusing on racing. You may want to push your best effort with the bike and evaluate your performance.

These are purely my view point. Hope it helps!

No problem with clearance-  the whole process really a bit annoying/slow having to go through so many steps ... but charges not too bad.

First to enter cargo village need to swap IC/Passport for wristband + pass, in completely different building. Then need to visit MASKargo office to get documentation done and pay charges (THC/Telegram Charge) which is RM30 total. After can proceed to collect the goods, then go to another office to pay FCZ charge (RM5) and another office to file some document EDI? Not sure what its for .. costs RM22.45  After that can proceed to custom office, bike was in the car so they sent me across the road for inspection - officer asked me to start unpack etc. once he saw was used tell me to go back. Duty/tax was 0% - on paperwork was also stated that goods are used, for personal use.

So overall OK - total cost for clearance RM57.45 , if used DHL/TNT instead they do the clearance etc. for you but the price will be at least RM300+ or more for shipping.

Just took me long as never visited KLIA Cargo zone before - no idea where to go inside and not many signs! At least went at night time (reach around 10PM) so not busy at all - no queues!

Hmm...Thanks for the detail write up tongue.gif

So if it is a new bike, tax will be imposed? I thought road bike, tax is exempted??

How did UK side packed before ship out? If it is like new bike packaging, it should be fine.

But this issue can be fix, just need to send to bike shop for rectification
