QUOTE(JustcallmeLarry @ Feb 5 2020, 04:28 PM) I dont really care about the resale value. But i am a bit worried when buying these not big names brand, worried mostly about the safety how durable are these bikes. Bcs i plan to be going up and down some really step hills, i hope i am not putting my live in danger with my low budget.  If you don't mind me asking, which steep hills are you planning to cycle to?

QUOTE(Ic3pRInc3sSsIcA @ Feb 9 2020, 07:31 AM) Hi, I have been survey around for road bike (aero).. with budget of rm7K+ which one is better bike? This is the 1st time buying bike.. 182cm 95KG. 1. Specialized Tarmac SL6 Disc  2. Giant TCR advanced 2 Disc  Both also are OK actually. If I was buying either 1 of these 2 options, I would choose the Specialized because their dealer is close by my taman. So it's easy for me to get there. But as jaykay4540 mentioned, both bike not aero bike. BTW, why do you choose an aero bike? Not endurance?

QUOTE(tydell @ Mar 13 2020, 09:27 AM) Need some guidance from pros/old timer here. Bought myself a decathlon road bike triban rc520. Decent hardware 105 groupset. Has been clocking about 300 km so far at GCE. When climbing i see other riders can ride way faster and make me a little butthurt. But thinking maybe they have been riding longer than i am. But when descending without pedaling they also go way faster. I had to pedal just to keep up. Is there something i miss?  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?  QUOTE(aquilaTE @ Mar 13 2020, 12:53 PM) MaybeMany variables... tyres, wheelsets, bike more aero, rider heavier, rider body more aero, higher wheel pressure...^^ +1. This!

QUOTE(thefryingfox @ May 20 2020, 11:28 AM) I find that having bigger chain ring....and casset like 11t...not quite suitable for me. I always on the medium...almost crossing the chain ring..... can hit 50 kmh on flat .....but wind is the major demotivating factor....try to be aero but perut buncit Whoa! That's fast! I'm struggling to get 24km/h with 50/34T & 11/32T gearing.  QUOTE(thefryingfox @ May 20 2020, 11:29 AM) Am keen to join.

QUOTE(kingofrave89 @ May 30 2020, 12:16 PM) Hi, i want to start a new hobby thats cycling,, can anyone recommend a good bike store around PJ area? Shop that sell a decent bike, not a high end kind of bike. Thanks guys! If you're around SS2 area, there's Pedal Spot SS2. Look for Yeap. Or Eddie. Or Teh. They are Merida distributor. They also have Colnago and Cannondale in their shop as well.

Nearly 10 months ago Mavic was officially sold by its parent company Amer Sports to the Californian private equity firm, Regent LP, for an undisclosed amount. However, the Mavic employees and the French unions now found out that another company is involved in the ownership.
A few weeks before the Regent LP took over Mavic, Finnish group Amer Sports was acquired by the Chinese consortium led by the Anta Sports Group for 4.6 billion euros.

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Jun 10 2020, 07:47 PM) No issue la. Its not like they gonna shut down mavic. Mavic so big, got oem contracts etc, why wanna shutdown? Adidas bought reebok. Crc bought wiggle. Etc... Source: Mavic who owns them who knowsQUOTE TL;DR? To summarise: Mavic don’t seem to know who owns them. Regent says that they do. The French courts say that they don’t. A sub-brand of Amer Sports, Mavic’s owner from a year ago, seems to be on the hook for something, but we’re not really sure what. And, we’ve now got a headache. If we know one thing for sure, it’s this: Mavic’s in a bit of a sticky spot.  Drillz for the morning...
