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" thumbup.gif ..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 drool.gif ... 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. biggrin.gif

RM1200 shocking.gif ...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... sweat.gif
