what's your inseam ?
I think inseam and reach determine best

Cool..

Just share mine since I got mine not too long ago...

SILCA

Ya it's cause my inseam length short

Wow wat u put in those bags

Z2 refers to heart rate zone or power zone?

For the saddle bag, I usually put my extra tubes, tyre repair levels, a couple of CO2 and an inflator and a multitool. The top tube bag is new(and I bought too big), so for now, just keys and handphone and a few sachets of energy pack if I do ride long distance. I haven't got a race jersey so top tube bag for now. Doing away with waist pouches as that is for MTB-ing.

Hi guys,
Can I know what tyre pressure u use for 25mm tyre?
I was told to put 110psi to avoid puncture.
Currently putting 90psi at 67kg weight

I was told to use 100 to 110psi and I weigh 95kg.

90psi at 70kg

oooh, do u always use ur CO2? will it cost a lot to use them?

Thx for the advice..i will be going for Alloy then. Concern bout those horror stories of Cheap Carbon wheels exploded or rupture during high speed..not sure if those are true or not..

Few of my choices so far:

1) Used American Classic 420 Aero 3
2) Used Zonda / Fulcrum Racing 3
3) New Fulcrum Quattro LG
4) Used Novated Jetfly ( good net reviews but nobody seem to know bout it)
5) Used Mavic SLE Exalith ( condition good but price at RM2k, worth it??)
6) New Mavic Kryserium Elites
7) Prolite C50 Carbon wheels ( thrown in for opinion seeking)

Thats bout all im looking at for thr price range of <RM2k, and i kinda prefer a bit aero like 30mm profile>

One more thing, now that rims gets wider, to make tires run wider ( a fitted 25mm become like 28mm)..does it really noticaeble impact? or its all just mktg talk?

Throw in
campagnolo zondas c17 coz it will fit new gen wider tyres, light and cheaper than fulcrum which is its adik brand.
Shimano ultegra wheels, good, cheap and tubeless ready iinm.
I wouldn't buy used wheels given our lack of maintenance culture here.

Where is racing zero

You only use it when there is a puncture and touch wood, I have not experience yet. It's more expensive than using a hand pump but it saves time. On the other hand, CO2 air needs replacing once you get home after your puncture coz the air escapes from the tube overnight.

maintenance how?

give and take, you get what you pay. i wont say they are bad, just, buy kancil get kancil lor but spare are cheap to source.

about fulcrum, their wheel are consider cheap in my opinion, but wait till your first repair, spoke coz 2-3x then standard spoke, axle cost rm4xx up to 1k for the higher end, really
one time a friend crash into me (front rider jam brake, i no choice jam also...my wheel actually hit his rear wheel already, from rear my friend ram into me, his fulcrum zero spoke bend... rm50 each wtf)

go for fulcrum racing quattro lg if budget allowed . nice climber and flat rolling (balance for budget).

macam a little overkill, after riding with fast group, u will lost those packs and its a big wind sail catching wind.

later i post i how pack XD i think lets start a sharing of how you guys pack when riding.

you are fine.
25c
50-70 - 80-85psi (yea i got many cyclist friend get off with this, and its also more comfortable)
60-70 - 85-90psi
70-90 - 90psi-100psi
90kg - 100-110psi

for 23c, add 10-15psi more to above mention weight

im running 80psi on 28c

im using a 1.480kg wheelset with 50mm rear, for about two month now. still i struggle to pull the wheel, uphill terus get drop from group.

wider rim, prevent lightbulb/balloon effect, which does create stability during corner, and increases the volume of air inside, introducing better cushioning (comfort) and reduce the risk of pinchflat(snake bike, or puncture created by self pinch from hitting pothole or big rock)

speed? no idea. but comfort mean u dont stop pedaling or slow down from pedaling when on bumpy terrain.

oh interested to c how u pack, come show show

25mm tyre, 66kg.
80psi front, 90 psi rear.

i have this everytime i go out riding. i have tyre lever, spare tube, multitool, 1 co2 inside the bag.



if i go on a long ride, i bring extra tube n co2. i wrap the tube n co2 canister in a plastic bag, stashed in my jersey pocket together with pump.
