hi i got noob question..why most of the mtb pic the saddle height is almost the same level with the handle?

if the saddle height is lower, may it affect the rider? the saddle has been adjusted according to the height of the rider however the handle is higher due to 29er mtb type..body frame is S type..
*
not really true. it depends on rider height. and type of MTB action you are doing

Hi Guys, just like'd to ask if anybody bought any MTBs from online stores like CRC, Canyon, etc.

WHats the state of our customs/duty taxes for buying mtbs from international sellers? last i checked our customs allow "Racing bicycles" but it wasn't very clear what "racing bicycles" mean (Road bikes only? or trail/enduro mtb racers as well?) or the mtb name has to have "race" in its model name?

i've known 2 guys that bought their Canyon Spectral online with no taxes (during GST Honeymoon period)...but i'm still feeling sketchy about buying mtbs online. Hope some folks here can shed some light smile.gif

thanks
*
why not try it. MTB still uncertainty.
Rb full bike tax exempted.

Does it really help to wear certain sports outfit? Have been hearing this from friends, it reduces the risk of injuries during extreme sports. What should my budget be?
*
1st is write up your budget. 1K, 1.5K, 2k, etc. dont have a budget, very hard to decide
2nd go to any LBS(local bike store) give them your budget and they help you get a bike. make sure you mentioned the budget includes helmets glove and etc
3rd if you feel you are conned by LBS, rest assured, you are not. Most LBS i know now wants returning customers.
Times are bad. many customers prefer online shopping compared to physical store.
4th with the relationship build with lbs, you might be able to get good services on your bike. also can join their event if any.

Hydraulic disk brake is about RM140 with only lever set, lining and brake pot, with pad and disk. Need to see whether I can fit this myself otherwise let the local shop to do.

Some groupset for sifu here, what you guys think about the following two?

Shimano ALTUS M310 3x8 Speed 24s Groupset MTB Bike Bicycle Crank Derailleur Shifter Cassette Chain 7PCS for RM287
Shimano Acera M390 7pcs Groupset Group Set 9-speed for RM616

Worth the upgrade to Acera if budget is six hundred?
*
the onlly issue would be the cable length and the tool to use to cut/bleed the fluid.

it is simple if you knew how to do it. else give to lbs. the fluid needs to be well taken care of. be it dot3 or shim mineral oil

Further more i've downgraded my mtb bike crank from 170mm Shimano XT hollow tech II + BB down to swap with classic crank JIS standard square tapered BB so i could ride on shorter 155mm crankset.  The performance result pedaling on this crank was super optimal and more comfort just as expected.  Anyone with shorter legs and height below 160cm should use shorter crank arm, it provide corrects pedaling radius and few ergonomic factor for short rider.  I bought my 155mm 'THORN' crank arm at SJScycle imported from UK with Shimano UN55 BB.  After the changes i can finally ride faster, more nimble and can feel proper power while stay seated.  I'll never go back to standard 170mm crank arm again.  Yesterday ride was super smooth and effortless around the off-roading trails, the climb made me smile again.
