Yo bro ... if you have a budget around 5k to 6k ... I would advise you to get a fully aluminium or aluminium with carbon B-stay. With your budget ... you can get a fully carbon ... but very low end 1 and its not stiff. If you want to go for a fully carbon ... I'll advise you to go for something at least above RM11K. Normally good carbon frames are like Trek, cervelo, or colnagoYou can try going to Joo Ngan Bicycle Centre and have a look ... They are the distributer for trek, cannondale and also a new brand called CSK. If you're budgeting, I'll recommend you the CSK ... its actually an italian produck but paint job done by a taiwanese. its a very good frame just that paint design kinda weird. If you want the address ... PM me. |

I used to cycle competitively, but too much politics in malaysian sports, What a shame , hehe. I've actually tried out a lot of bikes, and to be honest, if you want to enjoy riding your bike, you must have a good frame with a correct size Components comes after that (at least a shimano 105). Carbon frames are very rigid and it gives great response but when you go long distance, its very uncomfortable expecially on malaysian roads. P/S: I love cycling very much, but ever since i start to work, my mom give away my favourate bike which cost me RM3000.00 to buy during my younger school days, what a pitty... Currently, I'm riding a merlin titanium with dura-ace. Frame is kinda flexible which means less response but its great for long distance ride, its very comfortable and the frame does not corrose. Next bike will want something abit rigid, maybe will go for a litespeed titanium with carbon reinforce B-stay. |

I left competitive cycling in 2000 after almost 9 years. Recently I surfed to KSH website & was shocked to find out how much a decent bike costs these days. If I'm not mistaken, the new Look 580 frame costs RM10,800 !! During my day, U could get a Look KG196 with at least Dura Ace componentry with that kind of money. But of course, technologically, a lot has improved.
My bike was a Giant CFR-1 (RM1280) with mixed components. Shifter was Shimano RX-100 STI, front derailleur was Dura Ace, Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur with 8 speed casette (12-23T), Selle Italia Flite Ti saddle, Look Carbo Pro pedals, Shimano 105 crankset (53-39T), Cinelli stem, Mavic deep drop handlebar, Deore XT headset, Mavic clincher wheelset. My helmet was Bell Razor Pro Pump, Briko Stinger glasses, Shimano R120 shoes. Clothing was provided by my team. It costs around RM4,000.00, I sold it for RM1K. I saw some Lerun models but wasn't really impressed with the component offering. Perhaps U could buy the bike & upgrade the components later. |

ZIPP will be my favourite. mavic will be the minimum. good pair of wheels determines how good and how steep you can corner w/o much vibration get the sizing correct. size is very sensitive on a road bike since you'll spend a lot of time seated (vs mountain bike) get most of your money spent on these and u'll never go wrong: 1. soft, xtra light, xtra comfortable leather saddle (i recommend selle italia flite gel titanium - rm 300+) 2. carbon streamlined (tapered) seat post - rm 150+ 3. good set of very light wheels with tapered rim and the least amount of spoke - rm 1,500+ 4. pedals. use dedicate road clipless pedal. they're wider and lighter than MTB counterparts. recommend time pedals 5. road specific shoes. theyr'e extremely light, very airy and very very stiff (carbon soles) - SiDi carbons - rm 250+, do i have to say more?

Some american companies also entered into china and make their bikes there and shimano components lower that 105 is made in malaysia.

I've used the 404 before but sold it after that. Braking is very bad during the raining season because I'm using the tubeless type (even with special brake pads for carbon walls). So you guys may wanna consider getting the clincer type ... hehe. |

Road biker reporting in!
I have a Merida 903 which I just recently bought from KSH (near Taman Bahagia LRT station). Loving it ever since... I'm staying around SS3 so if any roadies around, PM me for rides! I was just wondering, is the Thursday ride from Puchong to Putrajaya and back still active? I joined that 4 years ago and I couldn't find the ride's details anymore in the PCC newsletter. Cheers!

GIANT is a reputable brand indeed across the world. They produce expensive bikes such as for competition. However they do have budget level too.
Road bike usually need to measure your size. The bike body will need to suit your height so that you won't have after effect on your back after long cycling. I would suggest you visit bike shop and get some advice from the seller or you can refer to youtube. hope it help |

You won't miss it because they have a big banner with the Merida word. I like going to that shop compared to another nearby shop called BikePro in Taman Megah. Reason being the people in BikePro are one arrogant people. Unless you have loads of money or want to buy something expensive, they won't even bother about you. Their boss is the super arrogant ones, I guess their mechanics learnt it from him. This was the deciding factor when I wanted to buy my own road bike with a budget of RM 3k. People in KSH are friendly and responsive. Thumbs up to them! Cheers, Winston |

Realized that my parents had given it away a few years ago when we were moving house. I didn't realize it was gone for years until one fine day when I went to the back of my house and wanted to check on the bike! I've wanted a MTB since I was 15 years old and finally got one 16 years later! I went to almost all the shops in PJ/Taman Tun area. However, didn't go to BikePro cause I think they've moved to Taman SEA nearby. I agree that the guys at KSH are friendly. After months of researching, I finally settled for a MTB from KSH TTDI. |

Most Genting Sempah and Hulu Langat routes are pretty safe except for riding back downhill after the climb to the starting point, make sure you dont bantai the corner too hard especially during rainy days and pls make sure that your brake works.
Starting from bukit jalil. well you need to be confident on the road, u have to get used to cars zoomed past and giving ways to the motor bikes. Jalil on MEX to Putra is pretty big rolling routes for beginners. Ride more often and you will gain confidence on the road, you need to control the road read the traffic well. A good test on road traffic reading is to ride Jalan Kebun near Klang. Heavy traffic with lotsa of lorries, narrow roads and motorcyclists. If you can ride this road comfortable, you can basically ride anywhere in Malaysia. Anyone wants me to teman for ride, just PM, I'm game for most rides on the weekend, my only condition is to start before 7am. Start early, finish early.

Am thinking of getting a 2nd roadbike as my missus hantam my Merida 905 when riding with me relegating me to my MTB only. |

plkvoon - congrates, good buy for less than RM4k.
Complete racing bike, no tax at all, so no worries, pay add. RM50 I think for sports luggage via airasia, mas is free but not sure whether included in the allowable check-in weight? |

Oooh , nice to see a cycling thread here
Is there any place in KL to rent a good road bike? I have a bike back in the UK like this one (with SPD-SL of course ) Since coming to KL I've been very lazy, hardly ever using the gym as cycling outside so much better, sitting on a bike in the gym really boring for me. I considered to ship my bike from UK to KL, but not sure if its a good idea or not? I live in KL Sentral and can't think of anywhere reasonable around here to cycle and the traffic quite bad also, I never see anyone cycling around here! Also I don't drive, so difficult for me to get out to other places to go cycling |

no need to spend big money anymore for the bike.... unless i wanna upgrade to a brand new set of wheels... ** may i know how long you guys practise the clipless before going on road? i still dont have the guts going to the main traffic in Bangkok with my new SPD SL clipless... afraid falling and getting knock by the cars.... |

When about to stop, unclip one feet first, usually it is the left foot here in Malaysia. Dont unclip when you stop, by then you might lose your balance and jatuh percuma.

my 1st drop from the bike is really funny... not sure whether u guys face before.... it was damn awkward... i know i am supposed to unlock yet unable to... kekekkekeke....
but i am gaining more confident... should be able to cycle on the main road soon... had been cycling in the condo parking... the security guards are damn curious of wat am i doing as i keep lock and unlocking which create some noises... kekekekeekekekeke... 1st drop was also hurtful for my bike and shoes... scratch the pedals, back derailure and shoes..... but it was funny... hehehehhe |

U guys now need to practise using clipless ? Hahah... when I started riding, I had to practise using toe clips + straps.. used it for 4 years before finally upgraded to clipless... my first ever clipless was Look PP66 (or 156/166, can't remember) .. considered a relic nowadays...
Used downtube shifters for 6 years before upgrading to STI (RX100), used 7 speed for 6 years before upgrading to 8 speed... what else... used single pivot brakes for 6 years before upgrading to dual-pivot.. used steel frame for 5 years before upgrading to carbon fiber (Giant CFR-1)... heck.. I managed to work my way into the Sukom '98 project team using a steel bike... RM340 Colnago pirated version bought from Joo Ngan (who later became my coach for a while).. bike weight was 23 lbs.. unheard of nowadays right, even for a mountain bike ? Didn't use hardshell helmet until finally I bought my Bell Razor Pump Pro in 1993. I've only ever used 3 helmets thruout my 9 years in cycling... after the Bell I had Specialized Sub-6 Pro (damaged when I crashed head first at Cheras Velodrome in 1995), & I bought another Bell Razor Pump Pro after my crash.. I still have the helmet today.. Had my first "original" sunglasses in 1996, just before I left for SUKMA Kuantan (my last Sukma), it was a Briko Zen. That was 5 years after I first got involved with cycling, 3 years after I started representing Selangor.. I rode my Sukom 98 road trials in 1993 using a steel bike with 28" rear wheel (with Schrader valves), 27" front wheel, 7-speed drivetrain with downtube shifters, toeclip pedal, steel crankset.. My dad bought me the bike for about RM300... I changed the fork to a standard fork (hence the 27" wheel), I had to set the brakepads vertically on the caliper becoz it was too long.. but I managed to get 8th place in the road race.. around the same placing for time trial.. Hahah... those were the days... just sharing my experience with U guys... |

Wanna share some experience of mine yesterday when cycle kesas.
As usual, finish my route, went for a tea break near Seri Petaling. Was blocked by JPJ....a major operation. My car was kena beacuse of HID. No question on that. The officer then start his conversation. JPJ:wah pergi cycle huh..mana u cycle? Me:kesas route. JPJ: Owh...eh, salah tau basikal you letak dalam kereta. Passenger seat dah fold then you pulak letak basikal. Me: Salah???Apasal Salah...basikal tak terkeluar pun JPJ: Kalau nak bawa basikal dgn kereta...you kena apply dan pasang roof rack. Me: Owh....kena apply lagi kat JPJ untuk kebenaran pasang roof rack tu? JPJ: Ya. Me: Sorry tuan...Saya tak tau la ada ini undang2. Takpe, Saya akan mohon ya. My question is, private car cannot carry bike inside the car?? As far as i concern, as long as the object does not above the side window and rear windshield it is not wrong doing. Is my understanding correct? Pls enlighten. Thx |

Not too sure bout this rules..... the only one makes sense is that u need to apply a permit for the bike rack.....
BTW getting excited for the long ride tomorrow... from Bangkok to Amphawa.... for those who dunno, Amphawa is a famous tourist spots for their floating market and also fire flies watching..... Estimated 84kms, 1 way.... will be riding there on Saturday and then early Sunday morning riding back to Bangkok.... |

Any good shop for buying a decent road bike in KL , and how are the prices here? I guess quite expensive compared to UK where it is a lot more popular than here
Difficult decision if I should buy a bike here, or take mine from home when I go back next ! |

well guys, another weekend pass... last weekend(ten/ten/ten
) i joined the Queen's Cup Huahin Triathlon... http://www.huahintriathlon.com/index.phpI joined the Duathlon race instead.... well i think i fare quite decent as i didnt train as much as i wanted.... so here are the results for a first timer, for 5km run+ 40km cycle+ 10km run = 3 hours and 33 mins.... the last 10km run was the killer, walk almost half of it...

thanks tenno..
I have the same thought... roof rack does not need to apply any valid license for 1 bike carrier. I think the JPJ officer taking advantage to talk more since I have an offense already. Anyway, just a sharing to you guys should you all bumped into such cases in future. |

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. |

Mayb u should just pack it in a seasoned cardbox and declare is as a used bike or somethin.even my gf in thailand call them saying that I will be bringing a racing bike(sports equipment), but it was rejected as Thai customs regards bike as a mode of transportation..... as this trip back to Bkk will only last few days before i travel to Manila.... damn headache la... shouldnt have got the bike if i know bout this KNN 30% tax.... my friend recommend me to send direct to Malaysia, but it's useless coz i am barely back to Malaysia....

I'm a bit weird. Where did you got your bike?
With your height against the bike size provided, the bike seems like not suit you Anyway there are few way that can help if the difference is not alot. -Get a longer stem -Get a lay back seat post -Perhaps adjust your brake lever according to your comfort zone  You may find the bike frame measurement as the above sample image Measure the TT length and also the ST (sitting pillar) Ur height almost mine. So, TT = 52-54cm and ST 49-50cm. Again each individual is different. You could have long hands/legs/body. Some adjustment will require. I would suggest you to check out some fundamentals on youtube to identify what you need to do next. Good luck!! |

Where did you got your bike? thanks littlebeetle, i get my bike from ksh tmn sea where I did the measurement to fit my body against the bike.With your height against the bike size provided, the bike seems like not suit you Anyway there are few way that can help if the difference is not alot. -Get a longer stem -Get a lay back seat post -Perhaps adjust your brake lever according to your comfort zone You may find the bike frame measurement as the above sample image Measure the TT length and also the ST (sitting pillar) Ur height almost mine. So, TT = 52-54cm and ST 49-50cm. Again each individual is different. You could have long hands/legs/body. Some adjustment will require. I would suggest you to check out some fundamentals on youtube to identify what you need to do next. Good luck!! however, i still some problem balancing the racing bike compare to normal mountain bike tat v use to ride. Now i hav to re-learn from ground zero to balance the bike. i oso feel weird when trying road bike compare to normal standard bike perhaps is pretty new thingy to me in road bike world.  |

@ plkvoon
Try to park at the bus / taxi station. If I can find a space there, I'll park. It's safer I suppose. @kenshiro01 I would suggest you to lower your saddle to suits ur training. lolx... But If you are already can ride on a MTB, road bike is not an issue. Venue: Try Tasik Pemaisuri @ Bdr Tun Razak... |

Any opinions on Giant TCR3 road bike ? Written off the idea of shipping my bike from the UK due to shipping costs (RM1000+) and worried it could get damanged in transit etc.
Went to a bike shop and TCR3 (alu frame, carbon fork) is available for around RM2500 , does this sound reasonable? I haven't ridden for over 9 months since I came to Malaysia, only ever in UK where I'm used to having a full carbon Cannondale (Synapse, 2008 model) will I notice much difference? Of course still need to budget for pedals/shoes etc. Or any other brand / model to recommend around the same price range? I can spend up to RM3500 for everything ... |

Not much exposure on Giant bike.
But with RM3500, you can actually explore few good brand already with reasonable groupset too. Try Bike Pro for Scott or Specialized concept store.

Giant is quite common brand in UK/Europe, guess not as well known here ....
Will take a look at Specialized concept store, seems close by to where I'm staying Really don't want to spend too much right now as not 100% sure how long I'll be staying in Malaysia and a bit of a nightmare to take back. |

Thought your budget is ard RM3k? With tis budget, you can get a tiagra grpset. Frame: alloy and fork carbon are getting more common now If you are not so into brand, I can suggest you Polygon Helios 300 Full Tiagra Groupset - 18 speed (besides brake is tektro 350) Wheelset oso not bad - Shimano Fork - Columbus carbon Weight - approx 9kg My frend bike shop can let go at RM2600 region |

Yeah just did a bit of reading about SORA groupset and looks like would definetely be better to go with Tiagra. My budget isn't really fixed - don't want to spend too much, but also don't want to get something crap just because it's cheap and then end up buying another bike afterwards
I would prefer to go with a brand I know of - never heard of Polygon myself and doesn't seem to be that much about them on the web from searching around. On the Scott things, the next level up is the S40 which is lighter (around 9.2KG) and seems to use Tiagra groupset. Bit annoying thing is that the models need to be ordered in as they don't seem to have my size (I'm around 6ft) This post has been edited by rjb123: Jan 7 2011, 06:27 PM |

anyone wanna join me for a ride more than 100km tom morning. pm me for details.
Added on January 8, 2011, 12:42 pmcycle from genting sempah McD rest area to Raub, distance approximately 120km. Today was beautiful, slight rain and the road from Bentong to Raub was awesome, rolling with lotsa crosswind, great for time trial training. Never been to Raub, but ended makan at the local Kopitiam. overall the ride was awesome except on the way back when the last 9km was climb back to the rest area, by then most of us already bonked.

try not to cycling alone at night time, go with at least another cyclist. i dont know dare to travel far during the night alone, usually I do criterium training at night, whereby i cycle on the same road few loops over and over again but with a high cadence intensity. the loop doesnt need to be long, usually ranging from 1.0km to 2.5km, i usually do about 25km if I am alone, if with a bunch other riders, push it to 35km - 40km but in a peloton.

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

Went to bike shop again today, think I finally made my decision - thinking of placing an order later this week.
I'm now looking at the Scott Speedster S30 - similar to the S40/50 I was looking at previously but no SORA groupset components , 105/Tiagra Price can get for around RM3200. Bit higher than I wanted to spend originally ... but if I end up upgrading groupset on a cheaper bike will work out more expensive. |

no need to stay in PD lar, KL to PD using old road only 150km or less back and forth, I usually do it half a day, start at 5.30am and back at home before noon. makan pagi in PD and go back la. the road to get there is quite rolling.
if u do 20km/h u can finish it before 2.30pm, worst come to worst, that is about 8hours.. can la.. This post has been edited by miniacs: Jan 13 2011, 11:32 PM |

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! |

Hope it helps! i was thinking of using fixed bike for training and fitness because of the fixed pedaling and gear (lance using it too!!! ). also thinking of joining my friends (who all of em using road bike) using fixed bike, is it possible? i mean, is it possible to catch em up? they usually do 60-1++km...This post has been edited by ghoster: Jan 17 2011, 06:16 PM |

Hey there,
I'm very new to the road bike scene and wanted to ask your opinion. I live in Cheras and work at Hulu Langat. For many years, I always see people cycling there and suddenly after so many years I thought why don't I cycle to work and back. My office do have shower facility so it don't pose much of a problem when i arrive at work hehehehe .... My dilemma is actually my budget (RM5K) guessing only limit to an entry level bike. I've visited a bike shop in cheras which one of the person almost everything say it's good. When I look at the spec i get lost with all the terminology. What should I actually look for from a certain brand bike. The gears, the brakes , tires ?? Thanks in advance This post has been edited by MSA: Jan 18 2011, 06:19 PM |

Just wondering, for some reason(maybe riding alot or old already) my rear wheel is not tight, ie when I use hand and hold it, i can feel it able to move abit. unlike my front one which only rotates but don't move from the axis.

I saw many cyclist doing the Silk highway ride from Sungai Long every morning when I travel to work. I wish I can cycle there but I am sure I would died half way, even my car felt difficult to go up the slope

QUOTE(littlebeettle @ Jan 25 2011, 09:42 AM) Bro, encounter any difficulties clearing the item? 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! |

Packing wasn't bad, but I guess if somewhere in cargo or during flight it dropped etc. then the wheel get effected easily compared to any other part.
I will take wheels to bike shop to get it repaired - don't think will be much of an issue. Yeah, feels good to have my bike again - just need to clean it up and buy few bits so I can start using it soon |

my dad started cycling.what I told him is just set your daily cycling distance and average/day.
Eg if I cycle 12km today with average 28.4km/h, I'll increase the distance and try to do my best increasing the average speed.That'll motivate me to cycle.And also route planning affects your activity too.If you tend to go cycle uphill with 12 km, I guarantee that most of your cycling uphill later will be much easier.

do keep in mind that Disc brakes are used mainly on mountain bikes ridden off-road, so if your bike is originally not a mountain bike, i don't think its viable to do so...

I think it will good to have a group of cycling advocates sort of, a kind of pressure group that is concern about anything related to cycling. Condition of roads for example to start with. |

Guys, what's the difference between a MTB which cost around RM200-400 and RM1-2k for an entry-level or beginner's MTB?
