Nowadays where got ‘simple off-road trails’ in KL anymore? At one time FRIM is that, but no more accessible to us.

I’m a regular at Kemensah…uphill towards Bkt Pau is nice and smooth, but the trail to the dam is another story….and the other trails leading to waterfalls are also ‘killers’ ….. 😁
*
Wow

I once a while go there.
You ride on which day? Maybe can join you.

Trail to the dam is nice. Downhill. But going up time can cry.
The trail to chek mah is nice but the ride can be spoiled if got many hikers. Kacau.

guys any tips or guide for first time alone in Kemensah ? i heard alot but never went there yet.
*
Just stick to the main trail.

Its not that much of a technical trail, but it's a long trail. Certain sections are quite steep especially after that first corner on the trail going up to the open area ( trail to camp chemah).

The trail towards chemah can be a bit tricky in the rocky climb section.

Its a good place to train your stamina.

is it recommended to go alone? i have many years experience in pcp.

If first time and using the main trail to Bukit Pau, etc... Still ok.
On weekends there will be hikers there can ask if don't know the way.
But if using those inner trail to go to places like sofea Jane , etc better don't go alone.

PCP is more to tech trail ride.

Kemansah I shall say it's more about mileage , xc type of trail.

anyone know where i can get rear shocks pin?

i bought a used bike. the ex owner rojak some china made rear shocks onto the bike. i managed to get the original shocks, but the pins dont match (current pin is smaller), so when i transfer over, got some free play which I dont think is recommended.

for rock shox. the DU bush is there, just the pin size not ngam.
*
Is the pin shock dependable or frame?

What is it by the way?

Used to cycle kemensah up to Johnny tree site to lepak and get fresh air and also sofea Jane waterfall for a cool shower before heading back ( serious the water feel so diff from house water so much fresh like Mandi cold coconut water lol)

But I hate how atv tires korek the trails until u cant pedal anymore have to push bike on certain segments

But it’s one of the best place to cycle coz it’s just fresh to cycle there. Bring some bread too so u can bond with Johnny family
*
The atv is destroying the trails there.
Sickening

I started riding MTB in kemansah and into sofea Jane in the 90s. Those days the trail is nice, into these clowns started the atv ride there.

Didn't go into sofea Jane since MCO .

Is it true that now we need to get permit to access sofea Jane waterfall?

Ya man, those ATVs are a nuisance destroying the track at Kemensah. Even hikers also finding it hard to hike due to the ATVs activities.

Yes, permit is needed to go to Sofea Jane and also the dam area. But I know lots of ppl never bothered abt applying for the permit.
*
Hate the ATVs ( and the motocross as well). Destroying the trails

Anyway. Where to get the permit?

Pejabat Hutan Daerah Selangor Tengah, Km 11 (Batu 7), Jalan Cheras, 43200 Cheras, Kajang, Selangor. Tel : 603-9075 2885.

You can forget abt calling them as yr call wud most probably not answered  biggrin.gif Permit fees is RM5.00/pax. If inconvenient, can always engage the svs of a runner.

so damn far.
yeah, it's true that many don't bother about it
i just checked with a few MTB kakis. lol.

I heard this before, that we can get the permit from the ATV centre near the Kem GarfaBaba (KGB).
true?

So far, I hv not heard abt ATV operators 'subletting' their permit to MTBs. IMHO, I would think it is not a legal deal cos far as I know the ATV operators' license is solely for them to operate the ATVs only.
*
Could be the ATV centre is bringing customers into Sofea Jane . Hence they somehow have authority to issue the permit (for themselves)?

I go there often on weekends and still push up some hills 😅.

The next time my buddy and I go there again (probably next weekend), we may try to find that trail leading to another waterfall (not Sofea Jane).

I was checking out this quite recent video on the trail into Sofea Jane.
Some sections are really bad. Thank you ATVs!!! ranting.gif

Bro. There's no shame in pushing the bike.

I pushed mine many times.

My first and second pcp, trail 1, its just a very noob decent... I also pushed it down cuz no confidence.

Don't ego. Ego will hurt u physically. laugh.gif

After all.
MTB stands for Mari Tolak Basikal.

no shame

riding MTB on an off road trail
number 1 rules is to know your limit/ability (and listen to your body)
number 2 is not to be over confident
number 3 is never catch up with the faster riders.

Agreed.

To add, recommend to get a smart watch. Monitoring your heart rate is pretty imp... imo.

I once reached 200bpm.. then I knew I needed a rest...
*
I do plan to get one watch.
Which you recommend?

I thought of getting those cyclo meters with hb monitoring.

Garmin watches , and with those chest straps for more accurate HR measurements.

Or perhaps a Garmin cycling computer (Edge series) paired to the chest strap, if you don’t like watches.

Though of this
But too pricey.

Thought of just getting a xoss cyclo meter with add on hb sensor.
