I think nice already.
Cheapest m6100 RD+SL I look at shopee RM315.

actually after discount price is RM24x.

Last time I bought 1 pair SL M590 + RD M592 + FD M590 4pcs set less than RM230 but now cut cost until 2 pieces price is more higher. LOL

dont forget that darn pizza size cassette. Pizza size cassette price isnt the same price as those 32-36t cassette.

And the new 12s chain price.

yeah... that is the problem. All pizza size no matter 10s 11s 12s are significant expensive. Now if use M6100 below RM300 can get but if use Z903 then almost near RM400. Mean to reduce 1gram need pay RM1. LOL

KMC x12 around RM75 can get.

Guys, are FRIM trails opened already?

I have the same question.

Would like to go there for easy relax ride.

Hi all. I have been in this sport/hobby for few years but most of the time I only ride in my HT to tarmac ascend/descend and rocky garden. My end goal is to eventually able to go full DH if possible, so for now I am planning to move on to trail riding or AM.

Now, I have a few questions:
1. What kind of skill I need to acquire before going to trial riding? (asking this because saw people doing jumps and air)

2. Say if I really need more advance control over my bike like manual, bhop, is it alright to learn online or better to get a coach?

3. If I were to buy a fullsus, with the budget of 6k, what brand and model I can get or it is better to build myself?

Thanks in advance.

1. any bike if you dare. This is common answer.

2. easy learn. I also learn myself. Enjoy it.

3. if you able to sourcing every parts I think DIY you can get a entry DH/FR bike less than RM5k. If you buy brand new complete branded bike, RM10k also not enough. What I mean DIY is brand new parts and not any second hand parts inside.

Congrats and welcome to the world of trail riding. The best advice I usually share with anyone asking is to first try to ride trails like KDCF and Kiara to see if it’s really your thing. A lot of people thought that they would like it, but some never go back to trail riding especially after trying out places like Kiara. Lol.

No need to upgrade to a new bike first really. Ride your HT in the trail and see where your current skill level is. HT is the best to start with because you have to do a lot of the work yourself instead of letting the bike do most of it. A lot of trail riding and even DH is also not just about jumps or big air. Best place to start is Kiara because of the different trails and technical stuff there. Riding in Kiara for example will have you experience going down steep sections, drop offs, rocky descents and gardens, high speed corners, switchbacks, climbs, etc.

After a few times in Kiara, you would already know if you like it or even want to upgrade to a nice FS bike. Don’t worry too much about the techniques or skills. You will find that you can learn it in no time by yourself on the trail or by following others. Of course if you want to improve faster, you can get a coach. Most of us learned it the hard way by ourselves, e.g. crashing, putting a foot down, finding the courage to try, practice, etc.

I would recommend buying a complete FS bike rather than building your own for your first FS bike because you probably don’t know what you want yet. Most of the entry level FS bike now at around 5k to 10k is quite decent and good enough to last you for a while. There is a lot of poison in this hobby. After a few months of riding, looking at other people’s bikes and doing your own research, you will eventually discover what you want to upgrade for your bike (or even upgrade to a new one. Lol. ) based on your preference and budget.

Sigh. Good to know. A lot of my kakis are back riding already. Hope to start back again soon when less busy with work and when the covid situation improves. Home minister not very happy if I go riding without a mask. Lol.

I will start off road again when things cool down a bit. Maybe in another month plus

Now many just lepas bukak kandang. Every where will be crowded.

Hi all sifus,

Can pls let me know what are the things I need to change/upgrade if I change my current cassette fm 9 speed to 12.

Thank you in advance.

Buy a new bike bro. Seriously not worth the hassle or money unless your frame top of the line Scott rc or something

4 things you can not miss. Shimano SL RD CS CN total cost less than RM600 now. The fifth thing is freehub, some freehub can just change micro spline like hope, DT swiss, koozer, novatec etc etc. That one no need to change whole freehub and just can plug and play micro spline adapter.

1. I think you mean trail, not trial. trial biking involves very different skills haha. learn bunny hop and manual/wheelie, how to do switchbacks up and down, learning how to shift weight front and back, distribution of braking forces.

2. i learned online, coach also can.

KDCF is still closed btw, got police sometimes hang out at the section 9 and 10 trail entrance to catch people going in and out lol

Wow, seems quite costly just to change the cassette. Think I might as well forget abt it.

BTW, thanks for the reply

Ya man, I might as well forget abt the plan. Train the legs harder instead.

BTW, thanks.

compare to 12 speeds road bike component release on Aug 2021 seem OK. Some more if you go to buy complete bike below 3K hard to get 12 speeds. Bike price already raise around June. I am not sure the new price tag can last how long.

Bike price raised since first mco. Now buying the bike is not the issue....issue is supply of groupset ....I waited 5 mo for my di2 to be delivered after order. Frame etc was just rotting at the shop until the gset came

I found no issue for those mid range group set. May be you aim for top tier or top second tier group set. First MCO no jack up yet, but very significant price raise for mid of 2021 eg. Polygon N9, raise almost RM2k.
