guys, Quick question about tyres: Between these two, which would you recommend: Battlax bt020 and battlax t31. Need a replacement rear tyre as it just has a puncture. Main riding would be city riding and sometimes on highways. Also do I need to replace both tyres or can I change only the rear?

BT is a real old model. T31 much better

Between that two models, T31.
If you have no issue with different models/brands, just replace the punctured tyre. But how old is the other tyre? If it's too old or have cracks in side walls or thread, better to replace it.

The front tyre is only 3 years old with good thread. Will just replace the rear tyre.

Holy cow, BT020 is from like 15 years ago or so. They still make them?

Used to match BT010 front with BT020 rear back in the day.

Do check the year of manufacture though... there's a long line of models that came after the BT020, BT023, then T30, T30 EVO and now T31 if I am not mistaken. Guys do correct me if I'm wrong please... I'm riding on the T30 EVO but I read that the T31 improves grip when cold due to slightly different compound used. My bike was equipped with the BT023 if I'm not mistaken and this was back in 2012 when the bike was new

Hi guys, as in the title above I am actually looking for a pouch bag that is practical for a rider (Can store power bank, wallet & phone). Preferably at least 3 compartments as I work full time (IT engineer) and part-time rider for FoodPanda. So I might want to store additional ext hard disk, pen-drive and a compartment specifically to store money (for FoodPanda). The Budget would be below RM80 la haha, there's a lot of options in shopping platform. But I don't really know which is the best, thus that's the reason I'm creating this post.

Any recommendations?

P/S I do own a laptop bag, but it's too big for me to bring around since the FoodPanda bag itself are bulky enough
P/S If this post is against the rule, please notify me, and I will simply delete this post.

there are fakie RS Taichi waterproof pouches for around RM50. but they dont really last and tear easily. only 2 compartments and only the main compartment is waterproof.

id recommend increasing ur budget a little for the uglybros pouch... around RM129 when not during sale at bikempire96. i think today might be last day of sale n they are selling at RM90. waterproofing is utter crap though but can be modified with a plastic bag if u can think of a way and will be properly waterproof. u can look for Kriega R3 pouches. same design, but uglybros is bigger at 4.5L. again, only the main compartment is "waterproof"

I'm curious about this too. I remember a while back that someone recommended the 3M earplugs with the cord linking both pieces, but after purchasing them, I found the backs of the plugs too long to fit in my helmet comfortably.

Trying to find smaller or shorter earplugs that are also not a pain in the ass to pull out.

Surprisingly, yes. I can only find SNR which is SNR 35.
If inserted correctly, it doesn't rub with helmet liner.

Edit:
This is how it looks compared to a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.

thanks. I think SNR is the same as NRR, how much is it? Might consider getting one as the 3M is sometimes too loud now
