Okay, new tered

No need to pin anything since cycling industry is fluid and constantly moving

Rim brakes are better confined to indoor trainers, disc brakes >>>>>

Tiers of group sets are usually differentiated by:

- Price(duh)
- Weight
- Materials used
- Technology

Even though the general perception is that technology eventually trickles down towards the bottom tiers, there are certain things that manufacturers refused to share with the lower priced components such as electronic shifting(it stops at Ultegra)

Tiers from top to bottom among the common manufacturers of road bike group sets

Shimano
Dura Ace
Ultegra
105
Tiagra
Sora

SRAM
Red
Force
Rival
Apex

Campagnolo
Super Record
Record
Chorus
Potenza

i say yes, so yes la

Rapha Festive 500!
What's your plan to conquer?

no plans

If most of my rides are indoor, does that mean I dont need as much degreaser?

did you mean that you do not have to degrease as often as you ride outdoors? Then yes

So maybe just lube the chain when it gets try. Any maintenance-free lube to recommend? Think probably dry lube would be suitable in this case

i've not heard of anything called maintenance free lube but dry lube is the way to go if you are lazy

Any recommendation on which brand to go for? Squirt, muc-off, KY...oh wait

whatever works with your budget

Cat dah penat jadi hamba I

Sudah tukar hobi la hanat

So you were my hamba

If it makes u happy

If buy turbo trainer, is it necessary to buy special tayar for it? Some say, if use normal tayar, can melt the tayar coz no tahan heat. I sked its some kind of marketing boogeyman, so what u guys think? Based on your experience.

No issues using it, don't think it will melt but it will definitely prematurely wear out the tyre because of the different compound.

Trainer specific tyres aren't meant to be on the road due to this factor too and mounting tyres is a lot of hassle so it is best if you can either get an extra pair of wheels(or just the rear) or for that amount of extra cash, go for an entry level or a knockoff direct drive trainer such as the Gravat 2? IF you have not bought a trainer that is

Thanks for the reply, will definitely skip beli tayar special since have to fork out $$$ for rear wheel + gear. Plan to get magnetic turbo trainer from Decathlon, since weekday kerja kacau cycling activity.

thank you ampu

prematurely wearing out tyre can perhaps set you back more monetarily to be perfectly honest

To most of us weekend warriors, with a mileage of 6,000-10,000km per year, 1.5(front once rear twice) sets of tyres is normal, you may have to change your rear tyres twice as often

also not sure how true is this but a friend of mine once complained that normal road tyres heat up quicker on magnetic trainers resulting in multiple tube replacements.

let me know whenever u want to be diampued

If casual ruding only? What bike recommended? Mtb?

You > Sek

how much you want to spend

Im cheapskates bro.. If can 2nd hand pun jadilah.. Or minta free2..

go Treknology look for Calvin Seak

He everything also can one

i see these bikes abandoned everywhere. u can take them

i think Treknology better, tell them Calvin Seak is your friend and he tell you to go Treknology look for free bike

Bro, im overseas in Sarawak... Tht one also can tapau..

oh across the sea

in all honesty, just get any bikes, don't think about MTB or road bikes

get a cheap folding bike, easy

Ngam

I bought my first road bike....

WAPIANG!!! the seating postion sooo tall...and the lean forward, almost drop off the bike...

Is that all normal? Really a huge adjustment from MTB

U no test? Bike fitting they said...

Btw i just bought cap ayam Nakxus MTB 21speed..good enough to cycle around... Looking for some headlight n rear light

What do u mean seating position so tall?
If fitted correctly, both mtb n rb should have same pedal to saddle distance

Y u no put the front tyre on the rear n new tyre on the front?

Do bike fitting! Not normal. Later your bebird can go numb, since need to bend down a bit when cycling. I tell u, the experience is very scary one!

seriously, i didnt do any fitting at all..I just test it...seems ok...I just buy it at local bike shop...cap ayam china brand...with the shifter at the frame there... RM450 aje bos..


ingat buy for main-main ba...then who knows, bring home, damn hard to cycle wei...

Hmmm...i better bring it to bike fit...hope it doesnt cost a lot...

OR, alternatively, I'll just sell it off and stick back to MTB..then again, its one of my goals to test out the experience of riding roaddie...maybe will try my best to get used to it or to adjust it... (in a bitter sweet experience with my first road bike.. )

I have the money

Bike fit service costs a lot. Bring to the shop u bought the bike ask to adjust to suit u. At least get the saddle height right.

Rapha Festive 500 as of yesterday.

when does it end?

good job

what is rapha festive 500?

u need to ride

tanya pun salah

i said u need a bike and ride first and not only a keyboard

let's say la... if i have a bike n i ride 500km...

does it count as rapha festive500 if i wear apparel other than rapha?

Hi guy,

Looking for an entry level bike trainer. And would like to ask whether those 500 price range trainer able to connect with Zwift??
Say:
1. Minoura Mag Ride B60R
2. In'Ride 500 Home Trainer
3. In'Ride 100 Home Trainer

yes but poor

any trainer works but you need speed, cadence sensor

#festivepoor500?

Thanks!
Ends on 31st December, 12 midnight.
40km to go!

Oh ok, seem like Decathlon Malaysia does not sell these sensor.

Any idea which worth to get it on the sensor??
Wahoo, Bryton, Tacx, Garmin, etc...

You can just take part by joining the challenge on Strava. They log your distance there.
Don't need to have Rapha apparel.

This year I did the ride solo because of time. My riding times are not convenient for others to ride together

I don't really care, who cares if one can afford or wants to buy Rapha or na

Btw, Zeta Jones ≥ Liz Hurley

just saunter around for a couple more days

he does not ride, he types

maybe magene
cheaper i think
try shopee

That's the plan! Just pick some long flat road and mash

where ur routes?

I did not hurt you, did I?

Thanks for the recommendation.

It really depends, cause of the irregular hours I ride.
Mostly Kajang, Semenyih, Broga, Mantin, Lekas.

Lekas is the easiest, cause you can calculate the set distance and it's straight.

whats ur strava user id? wanna stalk u

Don't get Magene dual sensor if want to connect with Zwift. It would not detect, I tried already. Right now I'm eyeing for Bryton speed sensor since agak affordable + cincai requirements to play with Zwift.

I've sent you a PM =)

kibod warrior nak strava buat pe

ok, fried chicken >

Thanks for the head up, will look around again for the sensor.

Done and dusted!

wah festive 500++
tahniah

tahniahing your macai ke

apa salah
why u wanna create discord here
later ada orang lipot lagi

Looks like I made a fucking big mistake.

My wheelset currently has creakingg spokes ( true many times just cannot solve the damn sound). If solve will come back after 3 or 4 ride

Front set carbon the tube housing already got few scarring....this now impacts tube replacement. I had a ride last weekend and replace the tube 2 times until I run out of tube during my ride...when I investigate...apparently the tubes were getting scared by the uneven surface of the rims as they go in


So I decided to buy new wheelset. Got myself new wheelset with depth of 55. Old wheelset was 40.

Thought how bad can the diff be. Now climbing is a little harder..always feel something dragging my bike. Flat and downhill is better. My Strava...not much difference during ride but average speed has increased by 2kmh


Oh well....no point crying over spilled milk. I guess now I have to loose my body weight to counter thjs

how is that a big mistake?

Sufferfest on the hills....sections slower by 30 percent but wattages are higher. In my head...already spend money on the wheels....push harder.

But downhill and flats....these wheels just wants to go go go!

is the difference really that stark?

Flat and downhill biggest difference..on the flat now I constantly see around 40 to 44kmh on my meter...usually 38 ish.
Downhill also I first time hit 60kmh on the gce downhill after Bukit jelutong climb...usually 54

But it could also be placebo that I know got new rims so more semangat.....will try tomorow and see if I still see the above


But general feeling...I'm less tired on the flat ....once get the tire rolling

Start acceleration take a bit of effort more ...and climbing also more spinning to be done so the wheels rotate


Also this wheelset is about 1.75kg ...my older rims around 1.4kg...both wheelset on ceramic bearings ....the new wheelset just did around 40km ride...hope to run more km so it breaks out n

Huh?
Hills are always a suffer fest, it's just whether you suffer more or less.

As Greg Lemond said, "It never gets easier, you just go faster."
Congrats on the new high profile wheels. Just a matter of getting used to riding up grades with them.
Unless I'm attempting the Cameron Loop again next year, my Swisside 625s are my wheelset for all parcours.

Extra suffer fest coz I feel something weighing me down....spin spin spin...macam Ada magnet holding can't break through.


Guess need to get my piston upgraded with more rides and less complain.

After a 100km or if the wheels looks a bit not straight bring them back to the shop for them to adjust the spoke tension.
