It's ok can try next thread

Try kat new tri tered?

We should keep it the threads minimal as it might cause confusion, would be great when both users could learn from each other in a single thread.. Unity

Someone was asking about building up a bike. This article is a good place to start. Also, just Google bike build spreadsheet, so you don't miss out on anything

I think you have to learn how to embrace triathletes

But they don’t wear socks! Hehe

Hes only one step away je

Good read

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.

low cut or ankle socks oso considered as trifags

Socks is socks lah. Kitty no wear socks, also trifag lah, is it?

why u triggered?

My Achilles tendon love the tanned look, how not to wear ankle socks?

12k can get brand new propel liao

The improvement is unlikely to even be perceivable

Get a used fulcrum racing zero. One of the member here is selling his slightly above 1.5k.

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.

how much? dunno if this matters, but with their mtb wheels, i heard it was a bit difficult to find replacement freehub. maybe wont be a prob with rb, as rb dont wear down stuff as quick as mtb

please post at this new thread..

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)

same in malaysia also. Bicycles with blue light maybe they close 1 eye la. If you are driving with it u will get fined.

I see. Ok guys. Thanks alot.

U gonna use the blinker for daytime or night only?

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

hi everyone, anyone here have any idea on Sava brand road bike? is it okay compared to Fuji road bike?

for bicycle it is normally personal loan. normally i menabung dulu. pakai apa yang boleh. dah besar tabung baru beli

both as I ride day and night like 50-50% most of the time.

cash

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.

King cat is rich

bukan soal rich....
if tak cukup, menabung lagi. if tak sabar, beli setakat cash yg mampu. asalkan tak berhutang untuk hobi.

very rare to see this. normally orang cari sponsor aje. from normal bike then join many events get notice by LBS and sponsorred by them.

Why bother buying something u can't afford

#actyourwage

How much you got the bontrager flare R? How batterg life for ride 5-6 hours?

I am not sure if 50 lumen enough for daytime ride.

Sometimes, it's not the lumens alone but the optics that help enhanced and spread the lights better.

Here's some reading material...
https://roadcyclinguk.com/gear/buying-guide...ar-bike-lights/

rm229 retail
5.75 hrs 65 lumen flash
10 hrs 35 lumen flash
lumen output is enough for daytime because the light is cyclops style. concentrated. so the brightness is enough. in fact, don't look right in the light. sakit mata lah haha

Which shop selling this? I checked BBS and USJ Cycle seem they dont carry it.

Thanks for sharing bro.

Feel free to drop by Treknology showroom at Kota damansara

Look for tashi, he is a nice guy!

how is the brightness if looking from the side? isit visible enough on daytime?

dunno n doesnt matter to me
what are the odds a car t-boning u? when do u need side visibility? a t-junction n slim i guess. before the car could t-bone u, they usually would stop. or at least look to their sides first. u need a headlight instead.
my pendapat lah

To those who has done Lekas Nite Ride in the past... Is it compulsory to have lighting on my bike? Is the whole stretch of the highway well illuminated? cheers

u are new to MTB la tu... please visit more LBS and join more events. using an expensive bike wont get u far as well. justmy2cents. u should go to mtb tered instead of here. sini banyak lycran and they dont like MTB

read the rules and regulation of the event #50 http://www.lekashighwayride.my/rules-regulations
nak join event tapi tak baca rules

LOL

I read the rules but I want to know more about what I will be facing. I probably shud be asking more on how well the highway is lit rather than the lighting... my bad.

tak faham maksud. anyway good luck in searching your bike.

If you are competitive and does not want to bring everything from your previous post, then dont bring anything.
it's a closed event. cars are not passing through. only bicycles and event marshals
Good luck in 1st placing

I'm not being competitive but I just wanna know more on how well lit the highway. This is my first nite event plus I've even try searching for photos online just to see what I will be facing in terms of safety. I know GCE can be very dark in some stretches.

if u cant find an answer here, maybe u can drive on lekas at night on a weekend. lepak seremban minum teh ais isap rokok sebatang. just chillin'

This post has been edited by miaopurr: Jul 18 2018, 10:35 AM

Ic ok, noted... just tot I can get a quick answer here since I've not use that highway before. Thx for the tip.

you are so nice.

It is quite well lit imo, feel free to join TLC and magnum on their weekly rides

Ic ok. Will try. Thx.

based on my memories from last year event, i think the whole stretch of hiway was well illuminated. but i ingat2 lupa sahaja. i think u'll do fine even without lighting on the bike.

Ic ok... thx very much. Looks like I dun have to worry so much on that part. I just need to maintain my weekly cycling then.

just to add. it's for 78km route. 120km, no idea.

Thanks... I'm doing the 78km first...

nak amik more tri recruit

You're welcoem ride safe!

Hahahaha...

Anyone is welcome to join!

Not compulsory. Certain stretch are dark...its your choice safety first or .....

tidak fahammmmmm
