QUOTE(cczjordan @ Jul 15 2021, 07:40 PM) I just bought crossmac impact 2.5, what i need to take care of and upgrade fir better riding experience. So far only ride on road Get some slick, fast rolling tires, some decent pedals, moloko or jones loop bar, and rigid carbon fork. It's the best commuting/tiring setup. Just swap back your suspension fork if you want to go to trails. This post has been edited by olay biscuit barrel: Jul 19 2021, 12:08 PM |

QUOTE(doppatroll @ Nov 8 2021, 10:38 AM) Try out the oval ring for 2 days straight.....and im loving it....I believe it might not make a different for strong rider but for weak rider like me....definitely can feel the difference, i getting less tired going uphill compare to my 28T round chainring and the pedalling stroke feel so much difference...usually on 28T i would crank all the way up to highest gear but on the oval i would only stick to 2nd or 3rd last high gear on the same road..... You should factor in also that you're getting fitter/stronger. There's a hill I go to every weekend, 3km with 8% gradient. My first solo non-stop attempt was 25:56. My 5th try was 19:42. Same 34t chainring. I'm now contemplating of getting a 36t for my xc hardtail before I get a proper road bike. |

QUOTE(doppatroll @ Nov 13 2021, 08:41 PM) I tried both round 28T and oval 38T.... somehow i feel much better on the oval coz my legs are more relax...not sure if oval 30T give me more cadence on the climb with weird feeling like 'peaky' during cadence on pedal stroke .... Yeah. I read somewhere that an oval chainring has the equivalent of a smaller round one when it comes to effort. Non-scientific observation of course but really helpful during climbs. |

QUOTE(Xefron @ Jan 11 2022, 02:55 PM) Has anyone used the Kespor bike? Price-wise is quite cheap with the groupset offered. Is it genuine Shimano Was thinking of getting a Kespor Opal for the longest time but I couldn't justify getting another bike to the wife. I don't think built bike brands use fake shimano groupsets. And the Kespor's gravel series use sram rival and shimano grx which are more expensive than the typical mtb deore. This post has been edited by olay biscuit barrel: Jan 18 2022, 02:50 AM |
