Haha ok champ, mayb you have won KOM races before... i only podium-ed a few

i belip we in Malaysian cant run away from climbing
just that maybe we are not super efficient in managing our climbs

i none ...
better diam diam sit 1 corner

Can elaborate why is stiffer frame not enjoyable? Bumpy? But for climbs it should be better right?

Groupset i heard there's a brand or line that can drop or upshift 3 gears on abuse? That I find helpful. Currently Im doing grandpa shifts - stop spin and shift. Gear ratio can't get the perfect ones unless I cross chain.

Nah he needs ebike, i mean why waste energy

Good to know your podium comes at the expense of drafting behind others.

Thank you

stiffer = less flex = less power transfer lost (from leg to crank to frame)
and also it requires to more energy (power) to drive the bike

imagine riding a bike with suspension, and a bike without. which is faster? which is more comfort?
faster = without
comfort = with suspension

i would not say it s better for climbing.
it is all depends on the rider itself whether can handle a stiff bike.

of cos we much consider the carbon lay up of the manufacturer, with the right stiffness at the right place, the bike will have better power transfer which makes the rider go faster.

Excellent. Learn something new today thanks to you. The last bit I never though of it that way.

LMAO, geno was a regular on the podium in most races

If i am not mistaken, he was a state rider for Melaka too

LMAO, try to draft and podium, or even stick to the first group

Thanks bro, nvm its ok, was trying to motivate him/her to train harder but he/she took it personal.

Easier said than done, Shah Alam Endurance Race I got dropped to the second peloton after just 30km.

Shah Alam Enduride the following year, P1, P2 went ahead and chased the race peloton, the rest of us were struggling to stay in our own group. If so easy, every races would’ve been all together that ends only exclusively with sprinters winning all

Lulz

Lulz summore

kucimiao like me only can sit 1 corner n diamdiam

Takde talent

That 2018 SAER was actually 1 of the toughest edition coz TSG pros were in it, so dont feel so bad u got dropped.. i was barely hanging on myself.

I remember at about KM15 we hit shah alam hilly dragonback section, the pros light it up full gas.. Then when we hit that batu arang fruit valley hilly section it was single filed and full gas all the way until peloton snapped in half. It was a tough tough race.. even hariff salleh didnt finish well that year, i can feel my legs were cramping up on the last km.

like how you equal cycling to only one sport. guess not much activity up there for you.
