Sungai Way? Is next to Federal Highway from Motorola Cable Bridge heading towards KL..

The shop in Sg way quite decent la... Mostly they have Giant bikes.. But got some XTR stuff there as well..
They also have some decent parts as well.. Price wise? almost the same as other LBS..

But they do installment plan for Giant bikes...

hmm... if its new then get it replaced from where you bought it.. Last resort would be stripping out the paint, sand paper it and have it repainted...

bro,

got to KSH ttdi.. they do sell DH tubes.. I've got mine for RM20 ++..


Added on November 12, 2007, 11:50 amFor my 2nd visit to Kiara.. Not to sure why but felt a bit of tiredness even before starting the ride...

Route started at tokong - twins peak - pondok to pondok - boner - segambut dlm(Garden int. School) - devi's corner - plan c - baracuda - Rock garden.. Not to sure la whether this is the rite name for it..

My memory got lost after falling in drain before the Indonesian village... My new Nevegal tyres was covered with mud and it almost looks like a slick tyre.. very hard to balance during the whole trail.. Manage to get those tyre clean at a construction site infront of the international school... the workers there was spraying water to the road clearing muds left by the construction lorries...

The trail was muddy + slippery switchbacks... aiyah... very tiring but can be considered one of my best ride yet.... Very technical and a lot of bike pushing... laugh.gif

Just came back from my ride also..

St.Annes > Bukit Tengah > Perai > (ferry) > Tg.Bungah > and back again.

About 60+km distance, started at 8, and end at 1.
Had breakfast at Tg. Bungah.

Ride was ok, but quite tiring. And to make it worst, my water bottle cage broke, so only a small bottle of water at the back of my jersey.

Heavy rain, and damn hot weather...

60KM.. wah lau wieh... You must be really fit leh...

You can join the Kajang PCC this wknd... Its 60KM... way out of my league...

I'm thinking of taking either Transition DirtBag or SC Heckler... Price wise both are the same... But the Heckler has 6" rear travel while Dirtbag has 7" rear travel..

Ishk.. Biking is hard...

thinking to change my brake system, any recomendation for hydraullic type?

Bro,

Go either for Shimano LX or XT brakes, or Juicy 7.. The rest I heard got lotsa problem..

Currently I'm using Magura Julie and it is quite reliable.. The only cons is that if 'koyak' can throw into drain...

Wait till my 2008 budget come out.. then can go get new frame + stuff...
