I use ciplak oakley sutros before.....and wife bought original sutro with road lens. I can tell you ...the differ nice is freaking huge. The road lense make the road look super clear in day. Like better contrast and you can see every detail clearer. The difference in rain is even more significant especially puddled water

But yeah...600 ringgit vs 100 ringgit. Feel it's worth it considering sometime I feel dizzy with the ciplaks....must be not even or got some lens provlem

I assume in this woman's case, she already admitted she had not exercised for a long time. Then suddenly joined this spinning class and overexerted herself. 
Furthermore, she also advised everyone to always hydrate after exercising and when she was in the hospital, she was administered intravenous hydration therapy and was encouraged to drink a lot of water during the stay. Meaning she didn't take in enough fluids too. 
If you're doing your Zwift, you can stop anytime. 

Hi sifus,
Can I know how to test the wheel is stiff or not stiff ?
Is pressing the rim to the brake pads an indicator of stiffness ?
With my current wheelset, I can easily pinch rim to the brake pad with two fingers.

Appreciate your thoughts

Hi guys,
just for my experience on my first bike purchase

I've been looking for bike shops in JB area for suitable bike and a quite well known China brand came under my radar- Camp Oxygen Pro
it came with full Shimano 105, carbon frame and forks and is price at RM3900, which is well-suited to my budget
I visited the shop and bought the bike without much hesitation (Carbon frame!!)
Shop owner is kind enough to compliment me with 2 bottles along with cages, front light, rear light, pedals, and a bike stand along with the purchase
I happily brought the bike back and is eager to have my first ride that evening

However, the feeling of unsatisfactory quickly came to me as I found the shifting on high gears is not crisp and gear tripping happens randomly in the middle gears
I'm still able to bear with it in the beginning as i've done my homework is able to adjust the cable tension on the RD.
after much time, i'm only able to improve it by a minor bit and can only bear with it as i planned with my friend for a long ride the next day

The trip is a 40km route with a short break in the middle
everything is smooth on the 1st half of the trip but the return trip is irritating
strange "Squeaking" sound appears on my crank whenever force is exerted on
Right after the trip, i brought my bike to the shop and let them examine the issue

Long story short, the shop owner changed the RD, rear wheel, Bottom bracket, crank, pedal and is still not able to rectify the issue
thus they decided to give a full refund to me as the bike is still under warranty and i've only purchased it for a few days..
My guess is that the squeaking noise came from the BB/frame fitting area

In the end, i'm back to square one on my journey for my "first" road bike
I then seek for my friend's advice on his road bike- Corratec Dolomiti Elite- German brand, made in Taiwan
https://www.corratec.com/bikes/road/race-al.../elite-bk25130/
the downside of this bike is it only came with alloy frame and is a bit more expensive than my previous purchase but still within my budget

In a nutshell, i bought the bike and is very very happy with my new ride
the whole feel and build is totally on another level

just me sharing my experience on road bike purchase and no offence to the brand mentioned above

Interesting to watch those breakdown of carbon frame video in youtube with like of peak torque/Hambini/Luschner teknik (dunno how to spell his name) and see those crazy imperfection behind nice paint

Does current DA (both mech and di2) easy to get hold in view of the current shortage?

I imagine new 12 speed means new hub and standards for sure.

Always itching to try Campag (their mid range stuff), but not sure how does it compare to the like of Shimano or Mechanical Sram (their old parts damn hard to find for sure)

Oh yes, I am actually aiming at chorus since i dont see the point for Record or Super Record other than looking good in group/cafe stop/cool points with ride mates.

Notice campagnolo only have minimium 170mm crank and never offered 165mm. Since I am running 165mm on my current bike (not to say i cannot run 170mm but it is preferably on 165mm crank)

hi guys, i thinking for revamp roadbike that purchased when 2014 after realized the rubber gasket on gear shifter started to chipped and break in pieces. I bought it @ RM1600 that time with tiagra groupset.

Wondering invest with new parts (gear shifter & derailleur something better than tiagra) on aged & cheap alloy frame?
Or instead i should go for full new road bike upgrade instead? Here the picture of the roadbike that i using now that should ride total up to 10k km.

Necro sekejap

I got my hands on the obsolete, ugly, goose-neck Specialized CG-R seatpost, taken from a barely used 2019 Roubaix (beli DEC 2020) for only RM300

IMHO its cheap la with 25mm setback, exactly what i'm looking for. 260gm as opposed to the stock Allez 296gm alu post.

Waseh dunno its the alu vs carbon thing or what, but ride comfort improved significantly. I tested the same route yesterday, and today (with CG-R), paling gruelling example is the yellow stripe, usually i evade this, sbb it rattles my bones like jackhammer. With the  CG-R, cannot feel it, now the handlebar is jittering from the front wheel.

So no use takde drill, nahhh

your answer sudah set me on a journey to replace my handlebar 

Stem x payah kan? sbb susah want to get a -17D stem in CF

yeah, especially if you get something like the 3t aeronova. aero handlebar but flexy, sprinters dont like it cos it flexes too much lol.

Yea it's very easy ...just select any routes record...and see which idiot cycle today....but cycling alone ok la as long don't cross daera....but the ones like in the screenshot....got 3 people kept pace same time and we're cycling together coz all 4 post on strava same route.
Easily can saman

Boss, I am wondering too, since cycling kalau far far one, burn quite banyak calorie.

And I still wonder why many cyclist masih boroi, why aaa?

Sbb assume ada exercise so can eat more is it?

Sorry ye, just trying to find the logic.

+1 on the above replies. 
Not only Specialized / S-Works but Pinarello, Colnago, Bianchi, Trek, etc...
There's a shop in Melaka that specialises (non pun intended) in these OEM framesets. 

Luckily your friend managed to get his money back.    

Shops overtighten or undertighten bolts? Yeah, sometimes some shops don't use torque wrench or unsure what torque values to use when tightening. 

Even for helmet i, Original is a must have
as my history of helmet:
Rudy (5 year start to soft) -> Rudy (2 years fall then crack) -> Kabuto (Best helmet, but start to soft after 2 years) -> Kask + crnk (spare helmet)

+1 with you on the bolded...

because benbeaninc correctly hit the nail on its head... 
Which is why you can see knockoffs of jerseys, sunglasses, gloves, tights/bibs of many famous brands like Giro, Kasak, POC, Rapha, Castelli, etc... being used as well. 

If you don't mind me asking, when did you buy your bike during the time where Merida and Giant were brands people didn't really considered as top tier?
Was it in the late 1990s / 2000s?

I went weightweenie. Quite interested in the 1.2kg winspace clincher but alot of quality issue with this brand and technical support is an issue. https://weightweenies.starbike.com/forum/vi...61394&start=750

I think better stick with established brand for now.

On a separate note, below 1.3kg wheels now are rarer than last time. I wonder if it's because of they provision for safer construction.
