cant remember, could be lol. seen the brand before but forgot at which shop

interesting, used to think that merida was 2nd after giant

supacaz fly, can only afford cheap alu bottle cage

not saying caad13 is bad, but friend was on old canyon ultimate cf sl (midrange frame, not top end slx), got caad13, felt it was meh, we did penang round island ride and he was lamenting how much nicer it would be if he was on his canyon on the climbs lol

under stem can reduce a lot of spacers kasi handsome abit. other than that find 27.5"wheel bike, cervelo used to have smaller sized bikes for short people with smaller wheels, zipp also made those wheel sizes

shifter change much later, hard to find stock nowadays

my mtb had the same bottle cage issues. but luckily my 3 roadbikes size 48/xxs still got some clearance, just have to use elite cannibal bottle cage for the seat tube bottle cage. I'm shorter than you lol.

if seal, syiok. if no seal, annoying as fuck. helped 2 friends with their puncture. 1 friend needed to change tube, everyone smell like sour latex and had sticky hands afterwards. another friend even with sealant still got slow leak, just topup pump every 30km. then send to shop change sealant

works for holes, if got long cut not as effective

polis see campy bora, ada wang punya rider, easy money

as with all training, need periodic overload. either increase duration every week, or increase intensity every week if cant spare more time. surely will improve. and make sure get enough recovery. if got 10 hours a week of riding should improve no matter how low quality the ride is also.

sifu can hit 170bpm average, still got lung capacity to shout at people to go faster, memang power

bought wheels recently, from relatively unknown brand rm3k+ topup abit get reynolds under 5k. ended up with ar58x, not disc though.

shamal not carbon, not aero, not lansi at all. pointless since aero>weight

zipp 303s not a bad option, enve foundation also, but for under rm5k I dont see anything better than reynolds.

oh ok. but if want lightweight and lansi, hyperon baru lansi though. no difference though, still not aero hehe

I do prefer higher profile, and higher profile is more aero. g3 spoke is lansi, am also a fan of the rolf prima and corima spokes. but higher rim profile automatic more lansi than spoke pattern

if can afford, beli je, special edition handsome more. but v shaped rims not as aero and stable as the rims designed with CFD/wind tunnel like rovals/swiss side/newer dt swiss/some reynolds/zipp/enve SES/campy WTO, if i had the money for these wheels i would get the other ones I listed lol. previous wheels were swiss side ultimate 625, 62.5mm. under 1.6kg, light and aero, crosswind quite stable. current 58mm wheels heavier and less stable in crosswind, but swiss side not cheap so had to settle for reynolds. if i wanted lightweight and could afford it, i would get the fernweg, meilenstein quite common hahaha.

nolah. if people ask, say you ordered custom bastion/festka/moots vamoots frame but still under fabrication, waiting list 1 year, so buy wheels first later change frame.

u buy lightweight autobahn your friend sure wont scold you.


80mm if put front wheel no need strong legs, need strong arms fight crosswind je haha

depends on design also actually. was on 62.5mm wheels, swiss side damn stable, crosswind not worried at all.

i still have the front wheel if anyone wants to buy. rear one hancur after getting hit from behind by taxi last year. the wheels basically saved my life, took all of the impact, frame also survived.

cyberjaya joined spcc ride, got dropped on the way back to orbit cycles.

oh, you've seen my strava and know where i've ridden before?

have you used the swiss side hadron 625 before? stop assuming what I know, you sound more and more dumb.

i've ridden morib, bagan lalang, kuala selangor and all the surrounding flat coastal areas, ridden from pengkalan chepa to besut terengganu, I know what strong crosswind is. ive ridden on 46mm old school v shape rims, 62.5mm swiss side, current wheels are reynolds 58mm ones. the 62.5mm ones are the most stable. there is a reason many ironman elites won ironman kona on a windy island course on swiss side wheels, it's one of the fastest and most stable, less tiring to control.

I used to be a mountain biker, maybe I am damn good with my bike also. and coming from v shaped wheels, higher profile better designed wheels are easy to control.

if getting bib, look for ones with firm padding, no necessarily thick padding. thick but soft after a few uses will become lousy. also, check whether the saddle is supporting your sit bones or not. if not then there would be more pressure on the perinium which blocks blood flow down there, causing the numbness

got. lapierre under 10k got recent shipment at tukang basikal fook sang. others dunno end year shipment arrived yet or not, can try looking around. or on bicyclebuysell.com and facebook trade groups

some fitters dont prescribe to the knee cap not in front of pedal axle at 3 o clock position, almost all tri bikes have the knees ahead of pedal axle and they dont have issues. and people do heavy squats with knees far ahead of foot position too. I just go to a bike fitter to solve my issues, too lazy to tinker around with my position

previous distributors for cannondale not as big, pedalspot started bringing in suddenly more sales lol. before treknologi trek was quite rare also, now that they left malaysia see cyclelogy and SLM can increase local presence or not
