I'm guessing its the additional lever on the horizontal part of the handlebar, read that it was used during cobbled classics and paris roubaix, can brake while still on the tops, more comfy going over rough roads while still having control of the brakes. works for cable, probably not for hydraulic brakes

its called in-line brake levers or cross brake levers, for cyclocross. apparent got hydraulic brake version also

same issue, aero handlebar also, installed halfway down the drops, if stretch abit can reach with thumb on drops, more comfortable to access on drops though. not used often, if got lorry definitely not loud enough, but cukup syarat if police tahan lol

any shops in Klang valley currently have stock for size xs/xxs/47-51mm bikes? got friend 165cm in height wanna start cycling. went to ksh ttdi, only have cervelo aspero size 51 and s5 ultegra di2 rm30k out of budget, got geometric bikes but dowan buy this brand.

cyclelogy has 1 unit tcr advance, meng thai only can order need 2-3 months.

got any leads lemme know, thanks

yeah, can consider I guess but maybe prefer shiny new bike haha.

for rm5k eh? not bad, pm pics and I''ll forward to him

yeah lol, many people mau merida/lapierre/giant bikes at twitter/rockbike/geometric prices, damn annoying. and reynolds wheels at superteam/rhc prices

just put, if banned then your sacrifice will be appreciated and you will be remembered

depends on whether current setup at big chainring/25t has the rd at full extension pulled forward. if yes, then got chance big chainring/28t might break the rd. if rd still relatively vertical not pulled forward too much then should be ok to change without swapping chains. if you dont cross chain much (big chainring/big cassette) it wont be an issue

but if chain mileage over 2k km better change together, if chain worn out and stretched, put on new cassette might have issues like
1. chain not staying on cassette properly, i've had that issue, chain kept on jumping off, cant deliver any power.
2. stretched chain will wear out cassette faster cos the engagement points are abit off

what was the question again? haha

oh. looks like 4 or 6 pawl? 2 each set? the higher the noise pitch usually means faster engagement, if not many pawls then probably more engagement teeth on the outer housing. but more engagement points usually mean the teeth are smaller, got chance of breaking some of them. for mtb everyone wants the fastest engagement cos want instant power transfer and traction in trails when half the time is spent freewheeling downhill lol, for road steady pace not really much need unless you join groups that like to attack lol.

actually nowadays not many bikes available in most sizes, went to pedalspot ss2 last weekend they said larger sizes more likely to have stock cos smaller ones sell very fast. but pedalspot doesnt have many options at rm5k budget though. try searching on bicyclebuysell.com

for those looking for bike sized XS, bikepro has stock for scott addict rc40. 105 groupset, rm14.8k. not cheap for 105 bike, but considering its the hmx carbon frame which is top level, can say not the worst deal since most top level framesets alone are rm12k-25k, so the potential for upgrading the parts is good.

I stand corrected. ok, not as good deal then, only addict rc ultimate is the only full bike specced with that frame.

lapierre aircode drs also, the 4 specs of complete bikes are all on 2nd tier frame, top tier frame only available as frameset, not complete bike.

yes, Lim bicycle bayan baru if not mistaken.
Treknology from Singapore, malaysia side no control, request many things from SG also not delivered, buyers also sad. I know a few of their staff, before they closed they say hope new distri can do the Trek brand justice, treknology didnt fulfill the brand's potential sales compared to specialized can see everywhere lol

haha I was only aware of the sworks sl7 price at launch being much higher than the sl6 prices, from rm16k to rm20k for frameset, not sure about the other stuff. when Lim was carrying specialized they managed to drop the sl6 with ultegra to under rm10k. when treknology brought in 2021 emonda sl5 it was rm11800, now just under rm10k, abit better pricing when Lim took over.

Penang cannot arrange deliver to KL? Got ready stock now?

friend also just ordered emonda sl5 from bangsar, dunno when arriving, probably after hari raya lol

wattage and gradient simulation seems similar, just see which once is cheaper and whether cassette is included or not. and whether need to buy adaptor if using disc brake bikes with thru axle. if using roadbike with qr no need worry.

my old cycleops hammer came with adaptors for multiple wheel axles so can change to disc brakes and boost hub mtb bikes if needed, but needed to buy cassette. and never got anywhere near the 2000w limit lol.

good if got time, damn long wanna read since the fella damn detailed, usually just skip to summary at the end lol.

this fella also has some good reviews https://the5krunner.com/category/review/

went to ss2 2 weeks ago, only had reacto 4000 xs and reacto e team, colnago clx and bianchi intenso, some just arrived still in box waiting for assembly. cannondale stuff probably just arrived after that, within 2 weeks ago. merida stock whatever balance from end january shipment I think, based on their fb updates. saw their bicyclebuysell link got some cannondale systemsix but not sure which branch and whether it was ready stock or preorder

done it once, the cobbler drills holes around the carbon sole then use big sewing needle and thread. but take note it makes this shoe volume smaller. stopped wearing the shoe cos it became abit tighter haha.

if dowan try drill and sew, try using dunlop glue. but need to make sure both surfaces are clean before applying the glue, let it dry until not sticky before sticking both surfaces together. or try those industrial strength adhesives lol

special one, 1utama basement haha. for leather upper can i guess, some shoes got mesh might tear if sew up. the microfiber type uppers more common nowadays no idea ok or not to do this.
