What would be a better choice, Giant TCR Advanced 2 or Specialized Tarmac SL6 Sport? Both comes with Shimano 105, both entry level carbon. Price difference around 1k between 2.

Bike recommendation please. MCO caught me thinking on how much I should spend on first bike. Previously was checking Specialized Tarmac SL6 vs. Giant TCR Advanced, both around 7-8k price range. If I reduce my budget to 4-5k, any recommendation? Consider that, threaded BB seems promoted, and preferred to have disc.

Hi guys,
I’m using Magene heart rate monitor, not sure why a lot of times after the pitstop rest my HRM reading will go around 40-50, seems disconnected from real reading. Anyone faced this before?

Don't think high voltage area, this HR chart was captured during my KL ride (Jalan Ipoh-KL Tower-Bukit Mayor-Jalan Ipoh)

Each stop 30min or so. Does that impact?

i dunno. im just guessing that ur skin has dried.
but afterward surely u would sweat again. conductivity should have been fully restored.  hmm.gif

if its easy and cheap to replace the battery, wont hurt to give it a try.

let me change the battery and see. if it still persists then will keep it wet even during the rest stop. thanks!

QUOTE(chinti @ Sep 29 2020, 08:36 AM)
some bike fitter provide saddle test to let u find out what saddle fits u, perhaps u can go for tht.
or worse case find someone with the saddle u looking for n ask them whether can let u test ride.

unfortunately don't have that "someone" haha

QUOTE(aquilaTE @ Sep 29 2020, 09:02 AM)
doesn't the bike fitter has some saddles for you to try out?
*
nope, the bike fitter does not have tester unit, not doing fitting on mechanical bull and read from computer

QUOTE(miaopurr @ Sep 29 2020, 09:06 AM)
soalan paling penting; who's the bike fitter?
*
Bike fitter located at cyclist wardrobe, recommended by a taiko here

QUOTE(vhs1 @ Sep 29 2020, 09:52 AM)
What saddle you using right now?
&
Which saddle the bike fitter suggest you to change?
*
Currently using default saddle, Giant Contact. Bike fitter suggested to go with Specialized Power Saddle. Thus I'm a little worry if after buying Specialized Power Saddle and still having numbness.

How was Daniel’s fitting? Very conservative right
*
yea not the using mechanical bull type but he solved a lot of my issues, just that the saddle portion after multiple adjustment, it improved but still doesn't kill the numbness. earlier cycling will have numbness for hours after off-saddle, his adjustment solved that but still having numbness on saddle once hitting 25km-ish. then becomes will need to take break every 25km-ish.

If you aren’t sure about certain things, go back to him, I think he’s only doing fitting and coaching right now so he should be pretty free

thumbsup.gif alright bro thanks a lot. I was thinking to gather information here to see if anyone bought new saddle and found out not usable, and becomes multiple spending.

Get some test saddles, you can get them from both Specialized and Fizik stores

yeah if test saddle is possible then that will solve my doubt

QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Sep 29 2020, 11:25 AM)
saddles are pretty much guess work if you dont have access to a generous fitter

so no choice gotta invest and splurge abit.

good news is, you should already have your sitting bone width from your earlier fitter so that would narrow down your choice abit

plus, with shopee and the wonders of copycat PRC, you get to buy a few different saddles that imitated the shapes (down to a T) for a try, eventually once you found a shape to your liking nobody is stopping you from selling those imitation saddles to buy an original saddle of your choice.

this is the first aftermarket saddle i bought for RB, and it's a acopy of that specialised saddle. though i have in mind of trying a few more other saddles but since so far i have no complaints with this one, i'll stick with this for a longer time.

haha, copy version, even though the shape looks the same, the feel should still be different i think?

Hi, i am thinking of changing the tyres for the first time. Any brands are recommended? My current default tyres are 32c tubeless, plan to change to tube 28c. Prefer something more durable and puncture protection.

tyres i've used and would recommend: sworks (non cotton), pirelli p zero velo, michelin power competition

tyres i've used and dont have much complaints: schwalbe one (wet grip not so good, otherwise ok)

tyres i've used and wont buy again: challenge strada, vittoria corsa G (1st gen), bontrager r4, conti gp4k.

tyres i might consider buying in the future if got sale and can get cheap: corsa 2.0, goodyear eagle f1, gp5k, something tubeless if i wanna convert since wheels are tubeless ready

Thank you so much for such extensive options!
