Anyone riding?  Sharing my days went out to enjoy some scenic relaxing trails nearby, solo ride practicing SOP. 

Snapshots:

Hybrid means can go on road and a bit on gravel.. coz I ride mostly on road, so want to look for tyre suitable for it.

My current tyre is 2.25 inch wide.. most road tyre is like less than 2.25.. maybe 1.5 to 1.9 I think. So not sure can fit stock rim or not..

nice spez enduro. how is it? do you like it? tried it once just on the tarmac at kiara. the rear felt really planted and plush.

Enduro bike sure heavier la. How heavy is yours?

Finally get this before holiday:


and this after holiday:


Honestly many manufacture already discontinue this shock standard. I've almost searching the whole Asia to get this. For those who still aiming this standard should be act quickly before it is too late. Lucky I'm still able to get the model and the spring rate I want.

Correct. Now trend all go to enduro all in 1 bike. Some more new design for short rear shock to reduce weight.

Had anyone try out maxxis tyre .....im leaning against either Assagei and Rekon for rear and front.....What are your thought on the tyre in term of climbing long fireroad ? i want to gather feedback coz im DHF thinning out....think of changing a new set of different tyre

Hi all, has been a while since I posted anything in this and previous threads.
Just want to ask, the current trend is 29 wheels for AM bike?
Is 27.5 slowly phasing out already? From what I see, most bike manufacturers' website have like a lot of 29 models but only 1 or 2 models for 27.5 (AM bikes).

My main concern is uphill climbing..... i wonder how the performance compare to other tyre like DHR and DHF

Ah~! thanks for the advise. Now i see my concern here because i been travelling with 2 type of road....

80% on the cement pave road of climb which i usual i climb with around gradient 8%-10%
20% on the road loose rocky trail. Sometime i go just for fun as it good for training leg due to i need to pedal harder to overcome those loose rock terrain
Look like i need to go back to DHF and DHR combo......

Thanks

Added to my bucket list. Lol.

I'm way too OCD for mullet configuration. Mullet is still not adopted by the whole bike industry yet right? Have to wait and see how it goes.

I saw a lot people use RISK headset but not other components.

Wonder why local seller selling tire so expensive?

Maxxis foldable HR2 just need RM70+/- include shipping some more. This kind of price really unbeatable.

So HR2 2.4 foldable EXO how much for 26 and 27.5?

Any active trail riding group here? By here I mean KL/Sel..

I have been itching to try PCP but always kena ffk by my 1 cycling friend and not advisable to go alone. Truthfully, I have had few times I wanted to go myself.

By myself? I'm all in for that but advised against by experienced riders

Finally, I'm back with some news.
I end up getting a new Polygon Siskiu T7 back in April, took a long time to decide also a long waiting period, big hole in my pocket.
Since then I had done some upgrade, a few knicks and knacks like adding mud guard front and back, lower the handlebar height to try out some setting and the major ones are replacing my stem and saddle.
I replace the saddle due to the one came with the bike is a bit narrow for my butt and butt hurts, fat guy big butt.   Bought a Selle Royal Float Athletic.
As for the stem, I had the original over torque and the thread line are gone for one of the nut. Replaced with a Spank Split Stem same length no rise. And because of that, I had to purchase new spacer.
Anyhow, I have been riding it for training my stamina and short off road riding at an estate trail I found near my taman.
Overall, I like the bike, the built quality feels good and the components came with it is good.

I have a question to ask, I found online that if my saddle setting is right, when my feet are level on the paddle (Let's say right leg in-front and left leg at the back), my right kneecap and the paddle's axle should form a straight line. After installing, setting the saddle height correctly and moved the saddle rearward as much as possible, I found that I still can't get a straight line between my right kneecap and the paddle's axle, it is around 2~3cms forward than the axle. Has anyone facing the same problem? Beside getting a new saddle or even a new bike , what else can I do? How will it affect my ride or kneecap if I just leave it as it is?

Hey there~!
Totally agree..... since I got the bike, I have been looking into parts unintentionally.....
BTW, I forgot to mention, I had also replace the paddle with a pair of Crank Brothers Stamp 1 Large, as I have wide feet.

Here's a photo of the question I had mention in my previous post. According to the web, this is the ideal situation, where your kneecap is in a straight line with the paddle's axle.



When I'm riding, as maybe I don't ride for long distance at the moment (Current max distance is around 10km), I don't feel there any uncomfortable.
