pay the same price as original product but finally get fake products still willing to give 5 stars reviews. Something must be wrong somewhere.

There are always got others bike like BMX, city bike. Choose the one you like. Example BMX also have a lot of fun.

Actually here really need another bike thread to discuss about casual ride.

Although I not believe those China made chainring are made from alloy 7075-T6 grade but now it seem cheap price.

Especially those bigger chain ring 40T/42T 104BCD RM21.50 and 50T/52T 110BCD RM26.

For those 1X drivetrain is a good choice.

hybrid bike with rigid fork. Seldom bike shop will have ready stock for this type. Not sure is either low demand or less model be found in the Malaysia market. But anyhow you can try build yourself since that frame is hardtail MTB frame.


Hmm.. in market now still got 26" 27.5" 29". If you choose 26" 27.5" then that is not big different at all. But if you choose 29" then feeling is not same. M size in 29" and M size in 27.5"/ 26" you better go to try first.

now already 2021 years. not same like old time, you aim SLX XT groupset but at the end you only get is SLX / XT RD and the other parts like crankset / cassette / brake all are lower grade for complete bike. The manufacture very smart now days. Cut cost tons of it. Especially front single speed setting. You want XT , then put 1 XT in RD and use SLX on other component. Some more very geniuses pair it with MT-200 brake.

That also not important thing.

If you wish to ride bike in long term first you need decide either want go hard tail or soft tail. Then no need to waste more money in future. This is most significant in the first step you need to decide.

Deore already more than enough for your usage. Anyway first part which will got problem I believe is BB52. You need take care of that. Good luck have fun.

Nothing you can change regarding 2 pieces crankset even the most top grade model also same. If you are not often off road then you no need worry at all.

got 1 advise for newbie. If you buy complete bike even some famous brand please lube the BB and headset with water resistance grease.

If your bike is 2 pieces crankset then you need pull out the rubber sealing of that bearing and put water resistance grease on that. If too late do this, then the BB will gg.

Theoretical it is but reality it maybe not.

You want wait until like this err?



This one already gg.

don't laugh. We should prevent this happen.

Don't worry. I find example DIY.

don't worry. It also apply to those rider who always wash their bike.

Actually BB is not expensive part either and if your DIY skill is pro then can even take out the bearing to replace. Advise is advise, listen or not is up to the person.

Most important is good luck have fun.

Yes. DIY is another fun time.



MTB is really have a spirit => Good luck have fun.

I so miss the old day I bought my first bike. The bike shop's boss give me ride out the road during test ride. That is call real test ride.

that is why after compare the hard tail and soft tail in real situation, then no turning back.

See a lot malaysia people like to use narrow wide chainring on double or triple drivetrain. Wonder why err?

That kind of setup make the gear shift not even worst ?

Deore 10 speeds now made in Indonesia already err?

Sunrace got release wide ratio Cassette for 9 speeds 11-50T.

Wow...

just notice a tricky in shimano groupset.

If use 10 speeds 42T Cassette Sprocket then you can use shimano RD-4120 but if use 10 speeds 46T then you need use 11 speeds shimano RD-M5120-SGS Rear Derailleur.

If you want to use goat link then it is another story.

Yes. you can.

hmm... sound interesting. 11 and 12 speeds not compatible to each other.

most cheap 11 speeds Deore M5100 series (RD + Cassette + right shifter + chain + crankset) almost around Rm700. But you still need to change your rear hub. And if you want deore brake set then need add more RM4xx~6xx depend on 2 piston or 4 piston.

yes. Just I mention the most basic which need to go for 11 speeds.
