Hi all sifus,

New member here at the rB section.

Im a beginner for RB, but have been riding awhile on MTB or Foldies. Not hardcore or avid, but more on frequent casual short rides.

Seeking for info on what decent budget alloy wheelset to look for..budget say around RM1500 and below, new or old, that performs better than my stock Axis wheelset.
My ride is currently an older Allez Comp 2014 model.

Can you point me which pages to read for, or any suggestions for my case?.
Been reading a bit on the Fulcrums 5 LG and 3 tho.

Thx KCTY for the heads up.

Anyone has the experience of the Novatec Jetfly wheelset, seem to get positive reviews in the net. Price quite attractive for a new set.

Guys,

For tail light blinker, better to have red only or there are some options with red/blue or red/white? Which one is good for visibility?

Any recommendation of good visibility rear blinker?
*
Red is recommended and more uniform like all road transport so ppl roughly know which direction you are facing.

I'm using the Lezyne Strip Drive and it's rated at 100lm. It's pretty bright due to the optics. Brighter than those Usjcycles bundled Cateyes(the RM150-200ish range).

Malaysia still ok with colorful rear light. But in SG, blue light immitating police gets u fined. In japan, EU, bluelight in the street gets u in trouble with authority. Although most police understands and let u go with warning (I did got a warning in my area, lol)

... I have a small blue blinker on my helmet for emergency uses(stopping roadside for Tube change) or those far away ride into kampung road with no road/street light, make car driver more aware of you. (Intentional to make them think there since police ahead.)

For my own bike I used cateye rapid x2 kenetic. Wide spread for ppl see you from side* (very important)

BTW, since most bike have reflector on the flat pedal, and most of us swap to clipless pedal, basically our bike doesn't have anything reflective (for those with all black bike, all black clothing, all black kit helmet gloves etc) sometimes we don't know our rear light battery runs out. It is very dangerous! (Like how im annoyed by irresponsible cyclist when driving my car, scare the shit out of me) I advise ppl to stick some reflective sticker on their helmet or bike frame (rear direction, red reflective sticker) for their own safety.

Yeah! I use it as long as I am cycling, who knows a heavy downpour might happen mid ride and thats when it is important to be visible to fast moving vehicles on the road

i c... if only for night, cheapo rm50 rechargeable oso ok.. but for daytime, u really need to get the very bright ones, designed specifically for daytime.

how much u willing to spend?

there are some really bright ones, if used at night. but in daylight, not visible enough. such as knog blinder r70.

i googled "cycling rear light for daytime", read some reviews and finally decided on bontrager flare r. i rarely ride at night.
