heard of this?

Nono.. It's all about cycling, mainly mtb for Penang.. Events n pics are published there.. Visit there often to get updates.

Huh? Full face on a hardtail? That's a bit wicked...Haha...

SS14? Wow.. I use to go SS15, there's a budget hotel there. Hehe...
I think I pass by the LeRun shop before, but no time to drop by.

OMG you guys know Chin Aik bikes in Lebuh Carnavon Penang? Opposite CCI, that shop sucks!! Yesterday I went to look for a bmx. Unsure of the model, I called them today and this was how it went:

Me: Hello boss, yesterday I came to look a bmx, and your worker showed me the Polygon 2nd hand bmx.
boss: (goes to ask his worker), then "ya, Polygon model
Me: Can I know what model is that?
boss: Polygon only got 1 bmx model. Come shop and see
Me: But i go internet search got 5 models
boss: Nono.. Only 1 model.. Come see.
Me: Can you go to the bike and see for me?
boss: "boh eng la"(means 'busy la' in hokkien).. Don's disturb. if want come shop and see yourself.
Me: okok.(hangs up!)

SUCKS!!!

He acctually made it very obvious that he didn't want to serve.. What's wrong with him? What a bad experience, never been treated this bad before.
Not only they dunno anything whan i went yesterday, but they cant even provide adequate service to customers.

Nice bike... I think your next upgrade might be your crank?

Paint fadings are like tatoos...Priceless! Haha..
ANyway, y not respray your frame? Meow got experience.

Yea... maybe just simple respray(i dunno how) since ure gonna remove most parts from ur bike. Easier...

Anyway goodnight! Sheesh Im so dead.

SP Jamboree ride anyone from here going?

Hubs or rims.. It's the fun that matters... So i presume AK's hubs will be 'clicking' all the way? Haha..

(bike rolls)*click*click*click*click*click*click*click #THUMP(bike halts)

What size do they have? Those are freeride tires I thought?

2.1 is just nice for xc riding..Haha.. 1.9 will be too thin, and 2.3 wll be kinda heavy.. But my friend's Kenda Nevegal 2.0 is woder than my Vapor 2.1.. Hmm..odd.

Just back from SP Puteri Hill Park Jamboree! 45km, and lots of mud, mud and more mud. Provavly no as technical as Kayuh lasak, but very very argonising... Heavy rain before ride, so the entire track was very sticky. All bikes didn't have enough mud clearance and got stuck for some parts..

My casualty:
1) Jammed rd
2) Clogged fd and rd cables
3) Severely damaged(probable worn off) front brakes
4) Malfunctioned back brakes(jammed and oil leaked again!)
5) Loosed grips(both sides!) Will be getting lock-ons..
6) And a lot of worn off bearings...

As in apparel, u know la, a lot of washing to do...


And I think every 1 of 20 riders broke their rd.. One of 6 guys from my group broke his XT and another guy took his Scott 30 carbon with XTR on it's first ride.. Now all scratch. Sakit hati... Another guy suffered major muscle cramp! 3/6 down..What the heck man..

AK, kinda about 4 hours.. Slow and painful ride. Pss..that's how shops make their $. haha!!

(same anyway)

Well I started mtb with my RM200 Lerun rigid, gained experience and trained with it. Den 1 shot get a decent mtb, but sadly now the Lerun is stolen! It's always ok to start with a cheaper bike, better training and more flexibility.

My fren owns a Nomad as well, about 11k, but he has 5 bikes including Cannondale rigid, Jackel, VP-free, and Kona Jikapu. haha! All 5 categories of biking. NUTS!
