this is call refusal to accept reality because group set more often than not outlives the frame in terms of the likelihood of staying in the same ownership
Not overall groupset, just the cassette and chains mostly Hope Seng_Kiat can decide better now

oh man, everybody is against of buying second wheelset. Haha. thanks alot guys .. I am just new in this hobby .. so tend to be a bit over excited to try this and try that. .
Wheelset makes differences in cycling, but your choice seems like different/oppose to the idea as 404 is a good wheelset
Hmmm. Do you mean 404 is all rounder wheelset? 58mm profile seem to be too high profile for hilly route like Perez, Bukit Hantu, GS, Fraser etc. No?
I’m enjoying cycling too much at the moment. Past month has been great where I cycling about 30km everyday on trainer, did my first century ride and lose about 10kg in Sept. So it drives me crazy. đŸ˜‚đŸ˜‚
What do you want in cycling. Weight loss or podium.
Weight loss is the main but going faster gives more boast to the main objective. So, both, they are related, weight loss and going faster beating PB.
OK. If you have the money keep 404, get a 35 or 40mm wheelset. Btw I would wait awhile and see the market in future for disc RB. Seems like it will be coming to replace ye old normal rim brake So spend it wisely

Yeah, disc bike is growing pretty fast recently. Would like to wait but if the hand is too ichy, I would go for second wheelset where I probably save half of the price.
Saw Mavic R-Sys SLR, an aluminium with weight specified at 1.29kg is pretty impressive. Second is going for slightly below RM3k. Another is Fulcrum Racing Zero Carbon at 1.39kg for RM4.4k, the used one.
By the way, my current 404 is equipped with 11-30 cassette. If the second wheel using 11-28 or same model 11-30 cassette, do I need to tune the gearing everything I swap the wheel?
no. It is not needed. You are using long cage right.
I see. It is better for me to ride on trainer in Hotel if that’s the case. I will be in London and Manchester as well for a week. If you have experience cycling there, please share the route, etc. Thanks alot.
