~ Booked ~

Wee! my 1st post here! hahaha.....anyway me0 i going to PM u some local MTB site to post here..

Fuyooo.... You guys actually made it till the 2500th post... ahahaha..

Congrats...

Any new local MTB sites available?

I won't say is new but you can visit them below :

http://www.jomkayuh.com/forum
http://www.bikehash.freeservers.com
http://pcc-cycling.freeservers.com/

so is third thread dy and i'm still not on the list?

Lol. please PM me the things u wanna put up!

Dude..

I oso have joined them a month back... but they didn't put me in the list...

Cool laa... they a re updating the list.. so many riders now mah..

Pls PM me the details you want to put up. I could have missed them or forgot to do them.

Sry

Ha ha is cool la... just for the heck of it only i make noise

wait i change my wheelset and fork first then i will put up my details

emmm. got lotsa stuffs to update my bike equipments and pics. ehehehe. ive just changed my shifters.

ober,
changed to XT ones ar? what happenned to ur deore's?

no lah. cannot afford xt. i changed to sram.

ober,
wah? XT cannot afford but SRAM? hahaha..wei SRAM also quite expensive you know hehehehe

SRAM X9????

Looking to upgrade to the XT 2007 set. Wonder if got budget

me0,
ur 2007 XT set can cost around RM1.5K plus?

akchang... Stop spending so much on your MTB lar. Save money to buy new car. If not, your wedding day, you gonna pick your wife with your MTB? Or beca? LOLz...

Yes, the estimated price for the set is around there.. How to save man...

SRAM expensive ka? no lah. just the shifters only. im still using my deore RD.

nope. can't afford that either.

Ober,

You are using SRAM shifters with your Deore RD? Can meh?

Coz currently I just trade in my LX Dual Shifters, DNM std rear shox and Tektro disc for Fox Float R and Magura Julie.. Then wanted to buy the X7 shifters to fit my LX groupie..

Then other people say cannot use due to different ratio.. Now thinking to get X7 (shifters, cassette & RD) at Bikepro for RM450 then got another offer for X9 (shifters, cassette & RD) for RM480..

Then another fren says just buy the X7 shifters (RM160) and X9 RD (RM190)..

Sigh.. now dunno wat to buy....

SRAM attack, rocket shifters model that can only be used with shimano RDs. Other than that, you cant use it. because of the ratio difference. 2:1 and 1:1. I suggest you to go for X9 model. if you can get it that cheap.

This post has been edited by ober: May 31 2007, 09:40 AM

SRAM attack rocket shifters? How much is that?

Should I buy a complete groupset or mix and match? Read a review that the X7 shifters are better than the X9..

hmm...

it's really up to you. but compatability it has to be in the same group to be good. to get the "ngam". rite? like me, i cant afford to get the same group so i had to mix n match. so the setting kinda lari-lari.

mushr00m,
My suggestion, get the x7 shifter n rd. use back ur old cassette. done! but if u got lots of cash to spend then might as well buy te whole groupie.

Or you could just swap every single thing on the bike!

I thinking of using back my old setup.. Just get the LX or XT Shifters..

Some peeps says that the way of changing gears between SRAM and Shimano is like a japanese and a continental cars.. SRAM is a bit harsh while Shimano is a bit quieter..

And I am so far left behind of these upgradeable biking parts..

mushr00m,
Nah...not really...the only different between Shimano n SRAM is thumb n finger shifting.

Shimano XT trigger shifter - Push thumb to 32T / Pull finger to 11T
SRAM X.7 trigger shifter - Push thumb to 32T / Push thumb to 11T

If u use the XT shifter ur thumb n finger will be on the shifter pod but ur finger also needs to be on ur brake lever as well. If you use the X.7 shifter pod ur thumb will be doin all the shifthing up n down n u can safely use ur fingers on the brake lever whole time.

Both Shimano n Sram are good products it just that you have to get use of it. I know that SRAM shiftinng are more precise.

Hehehe.. thanks for the info.. Now I stick to my current setup Shimano LX, just bought the LX Rapidfire for RM120.. Save money to buy Revelation..

akchang, so decided went to meet up?

mushr00m,
yeah..if everything goes well I'll meet you up tonite around 2100hrs? Wanna to meet up at PJ State A&W?

Aisey.. Can it be a little bit late... Around 9.45 - 10pm? same place.. Got some customer come to my company doing DR testing.. afarid can make it around 9pm..

OK la... see you around 2145 - 2200hrs la...I'm goin to PM u my hp #.

my current shifter X7 with X7 RD mix With Deore FD n Sunrace Cassete!
X7 better then those Deore de!

dun know other lah! its up to individual actually!

FD has never been a problem between SRAM n Shimano.

of coz x7 better den deore cuz its like LX level already.

hoho. Im loving my SRAM ATTACK SHIFTERS!

ober,
kasih picture sikit la jhehehehe...jealous

i will soon. hold on for it aite? btw, it's a griptwist shifter.
must be ready for races from now on. so im getting these fast shifters. hoho.

ober,
wah gripshifter ar...sudah tried offroad ke?

yeap yeap. im loving it during offroad! hehehe. really fast ya know till my shoulder got screwed by the bambu trees. haha.

ober,
the response is better then the shifter pods?

yeap. faster shifting. one thing i like about the shifters, the FD shifters, can be control into small steps on movement. how to actually tell you it's really hard. if u come n ride wit me, ill show u how.

gawd dammit...

most likely i won't be cycling till 2009!

my mother went and see some fortune teller dude and he said my luck from 06-08 is bad

nightstalker1993,
u got to be kiddin me rite? 2009...that's like 2 darn years!

dunno la~

hopefully i can coax her to repair my bike nx yr -.-"

Dude... I fell you.. I myself have a ligamen torn on my right ACL.. not to sure how long pressure can it last till I need to undergo surgery..

But look at the bright side... You can save some money and can prepare for a project bike by 2009... Just imagine how much money can be save from now till 2009..

Anyway.. take care dude..

Lol, save money from now till 2009.

hmm....each month 100 bucks...time 24months...yikes...thats RM2400

hehehehe...

dude, don't tell me you believe some "fortune teller's" ?

man, by im 40, im gonna have a knee problem from all the falls i had. and nothing i can do about it. that's what they told me. dammit.

For me if can save RM500, then 24 months = RM12000

Added on June 6, 2007, 3:50 pmdry bak kut teh even nicer.

This post has been edited by Manufacture: Jun 6 2007, 03:50 PM

yea my mom's old waja can...

but the City can't even with its seats up and front wheel dismantled....

the city is thinner than the Waja -.-"

and i dun think the gap between the boot and the seat is big enough to fit the front fork and handlebar -.-"

well, i can fit 2 mountain bike into my small Tiara...hahahaha...it's kinda difficult at first but after that it's gets easier....one of the bike got to dismantle everything like wheelset n seatpost...

Btw akchang, its tentatively on Sunday and @ 2.30pm
