so its compulsory on 9th of Jan to have bike bell installed if were to cycle in Putrajaya or this applies to the entire country?
*
bell is required by Law... means it apply to the entire country loh.
just for time being PDRM at Putrajaya is emphasizing the enforcement- while other area din say they will enforce, nor saying they will not enforce

So since this got so much attention for now- just install one loh. buy cheap cheap RM 10 la.....

Hi all,

Plan to get a road bike, want to get some insights on a couple of things:

1) Is 9-speed to 11-speed a big gap in speed?
2) Biggest pro and con of rim brake vs disc brake?

Last bike I owned was a mountain bike in the 90s. So my knowledge on bikes are outdated and very limited. Appreciate your thoughts and comments. Thanks in advance.  notworthy.gif

ur plan is taman ride (10-20km each time) , or group ride ( 50-100km)
seems you are picking up the hobby/exercise after a long time, and you wont want to spend too much right

1) speed has little to do with gearing- it has to do with legs and lungs
2) at entry level- not much different.

if that is the case, the do pick up a simple one. Decalathon has some decent selection for entry bikes.

what happened to running? knee issue?

Thanks for the comprehensive tips.
GP5000 seems very soft and quick wear off right.

Me not going into race, but do appreciate a little bit less resistance in ride to save me a few watts.

How about Swahlbe?

As for better balanced tyre for more comfort and puncture resistance- wat would u recommend ?

tyres is really so expensive these days.
i was naive thinking a good pair can last for 2-3 years- but i could not be more wrong.

just change my into my 5th pair- Started in Sept 2019 and just done total 9000km

GP5000 is the best, but a small patch size of 10cents peel off. i think coz my stupidity of during a small skids last time. There gone 450 RM

Goodyear was a decent pair too... but wear off really fast. (like 2000km or so)- and keep having lots of puncture. Their puncture resistant is really low. Watch the Allen Boey trip to Penang- once of the guy was having 4X puncture using Goodyear and curse like mad.
i rather blame my poor luck then the tyres but cant be such co-incidence right

wanted to go back to GP, but seems most place no stock these days.

Swalbe Pro One wear off pretty quick too right?

there is advice of going to tyre of one grade down- but... really meh?
focus so much to get the bike light and fast, then add 80gram on the tyre which is most significant part in term of rolling... i could not bear with that decision.

Eagle F1 and GP5000 is very soft compound.... it get peel off/crack easily..... but very good grip> just wear off very quickly.

Comparing to Pirrelli... relatively harder - definitely the grip and handling is less ideal.
