Thanks all for the suggestion. I just get started and don’t want to spend a fortune on upgrades.
Will start with a good pump and good tires.

nvm, nak war saja

get a good pump now.
use current tyres sampai habis.
then change to good ones.

I got my floor pump from decathlon. Quite okay...get the metal body one.....can pump 120 psi no problem ( but I normally pump 100 psi)


The plastic body type can't take the pressure. For hand pump I use top peak....fit to side of my bottle cage. Very good assembly ...but as usual....u toceng for 10 to 15 mins baru puas

Take a book ( make sure it's a firm.book). Yank it between your legs and push as high into your balls possible. Make a mark at the wall where the top of the book

Take that mark ( which is your inseam height) and X 0.833

That is your saddle hight. Now measure the middle of your crank spindle to the top of your seat. That's how high your seat suppose to be

Look cleats imho don't last long. Average about 10 to 12 month( ride about 1k km a month)

Shimano cleats like bomb proof. Mine running for 1.5 year after change to Shimano SPD....sitll tahan. Done about 14k alrwady

Looking at the 105 gearing, yours is the 50/34T and 11/32T right?
And it's 11kg without rider.
So perhaps those other riders have better (lighter) bikes and have better leg strength than you at the moment.

For the pedaling hard while descending, did you change gears when you're coming downhill?


^^ +1. This!

So with restricted movement imposed I am thinking I can go cycling...don't mind cycle alone..at gce.

I tried this bike before from a friend who wanted to buy a bike to commute to work. Its a commuter and endurance bike rather than a race bike...which explained why the frame geometry geared towards comfort ride rather than aggressive riding; it have QR hub for disc rather than thru axle and have bunch of eyelets bracket for mounting cage, bags and fenders around the fork and rear triangle. Its very comfort to ride and ideal for long ride but when i try to sprint its a bit lower responsiveness both acceleration and handling...quite heavy too...hard to keep up with traffic. When hard cornering or stand up pedaling pushing the bike side to side the disc rotor have a bit rubbing causes much resistance which is why many true road disc brake have to use thru axle type hub to avoid flex.

Btw its a good bike for long distance ride and relaxing ride. But if you wanted to convert this bike into competitive racer and keep up with other rider you'll need to upgrade to lighter wheels and lower rolling resistance tires like Continental Grand Prix 5000 or Specialized Turbo Cotton which popular choice among local riders. You can find out details about rolling resistance here: https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/road-bike-reviews

And also check make sure you have ample leg room to flex around as you pedal which is why many rider have seat higher than their handlebars. Crank length count too...i have to order special crank from Taiwan and UK for 160mm to 155mm crank to match my cadence. More likely if the bike is for Malaysian market you likely to own between 170mm, 172mm or 175mm crank length which can be struggle to pedal on asian size height.

Btw found another review about the bike here: https://road.cc/content/review/252475-triba...-disc-road-bike
