QUOTE(ober @ Jun 15 2007, 09:25 AM) vanilla is just heavy. cuz of coil. for light and durable i reckon revelation. I think aah.. I get Revelation first... Manage to get the Revelation for RM1300, can pay 2 installments.. Hopefully can fix it by end of this month..  but then maintenance wise, its kinda hard lah for RS. that's normal. fox are known for easy maintenance.  |

I have completed the trail in Bukit Cermin, Putra Heights...
It hard but its damn shiok... It started with a 45 degrees climb for about 500 metres, which I gave up after 300m, it can easily takes aroung 7-8 minutes of climbing till reach the DIGI tower. From there, it goes all the way down which I mean really down. Started with a 70degress drop for at least 7 ft, then 2 ft flat then another 8ft drop.. Later a slightly up and down hill with a mixture of snake trail+steroid+single track.. then it goes downhill almost all the way.. Most of the drops there are like 60 to 70 degress drop.. There is one part which the created a 4 ft ramp.. I took some pictures and I'll try to post it ere.. But I need time to recover due to fell of 3 times and mi right hand swollen.. Basically it is a very technical trail, full of tree roots, amazing drops, and best of all, mosquito, due to its a trail mizture of small trees and rubber plantation... |

QUOTE(KoNa7 @ Jun 26 2007, 05:06 PM) hey bros, Hi Kona,wanna ask how steep are the hills in FRIM? Really interested in goin soon, when you guys wanna make a gathering to go together? and also wat gears are you guys wearing? any protection? i bought a fox glove n plannin to buy a helmet when i start hittin the trails. do u guys think i shud get the knee & elbow pads coz i saw everyone in the MBUK magazine wearing them. And also wat do u guys think of the sixsixone skater style helmet. I like it but scared ppl laff at me ahhahah... The hills in FRIM are not that steep... only 2-3 hills.. (including steroid) other that that mostly it is moderate... WIth regards to gears, its enuff that you have a pair of glove and a helmet (dun bother about 661 or even polygon, coz I have one too). Knee and elbows pads are optional unless you are thinking goin downhill at really high speed or trying to make some wonderful jumps there... It would be good to have your own hydration pack or at least bring a bottle or two on your bike.. Good luck with your ride...  ps.. U might want to wear shades/glasses.. Sometimes the are some branches pooking out ere an there... there are sometimes bugs too... yummy... This post has been edited by mushr00m: Jun 26 2007, 09:08 PM |

For exercising, just get a cheap hardtail bike... try visiting Bicyclebuysell.com for some bargains.. im interested to have bike but still have a small budget...thinking to buy item by item or complete bike... for me buy just for exercise and not for competition.. Some LeRuns are good for starters...

Im planning to use it for just casual cycling and some light hill climbing. Bro.. Some light hill climbing no need to use full-sus bike..

QUOTE(bullit @ Jul 2 2007, 03:52 PM) how much is my bike? mmm that would be five digit in RM. 5 digit? waulauweih.... Kudos to you man..  race was good too bad the trail claimed too much victims, 2-3 broken bones and that is part of the reason some ppl opted out for the race. only have abt around 30 riders for the DH race. All in all it is a very technical challenging trail, super fun to ride. Andy, Have you tried it yet?  Wats the setup? Dun angry for being kaypochi... |

So far touch wood with my Magura Julie Hydra... No leaks yet..
Bought it for RM250 2nd hand from my mechanic, braking it on a 8 ft drop ok loh... just need to applied it well.. Yesterday went to BikePro and bought myself a SixSixOne shoes to fit my Shimano DX Pedals.. They are on sale I think coz the guy offered me a Wellgo platforms for RM170 and Mavic Crossride wheelset (1pair) for RM720 .. .. and it is seal bearing...Luckily no money yet.. The rims looks much nicer from DT Swiss ... Which one is better?  |
