QUOTE(dickybird @ Jun 11 2007, 11:17 AM) love to! when and where do you guys usually ride? suddenly get itchy about upgrading my bike's kit. what shall i get? new brakes? still on a pair of LX V brakes. Should i get discs coz my hubs are disc compatible but the rims are for v brakes. are Disc wheelsets lighter? or should i just get my LBS to build me a wheelset around my old hubs? any thoughts? For example me0 n his friends n I went up to Kiara last weekend (Awesome!) Finally get an eye of me0wster "Blue NRS"  ..but there;s FRIM also..it depends la.. LX V brakes ok wut..but if u want to invest into disc brake, n ur hub supports disc brake u dun need to change ur wheelset la..unless u got extra $$$ to spend on the wheelset  ... if u buy those expensive wheelset it should be very much lighter. depends on ur budget, wheelset hardly breaks even it;'s an old one. depend on how u ride also if u r a person like to drop very much, sure the wheelset someday will become potato chip..but if u ride casual XC goin over some bumps it should last longer.

Got wor...see the link below...cause i saw this in singapore last 2 months ago and he offered me SGD300 for rear n front (32holes) disc. i didn't know how much is the price then so didn't took the opportunity till found out recently. RM1200  ...i was cursing myself i didn't took the offer. Anyway i contacted my cousin over there in singapore to get it for me n hopefully it has not been sold yet... http://www.hopetechusa.com/voir_FH6XC32H.htmlThis post has been edited by akchang: Jun 12 2007, 03:27 PM

It will list down about 107 shops with address. i thnk that list is much bigger then klang valley bike shop.. hahaha..  or u can follow this link "http://www.togoparts.com/bikeshops/list_shops.php". their shop are quite professional, alot of the shops are aircon and sells great product (newest product) which u can't find here.
