it is pretty much similar idea towards smartphones.

the people still getting iphone even the pricing skyrocketed on every years, while they can opt for others & cheaper.

Hello everyone. I just wanna ask something since dcs* not replying. I wanna ask where can i get the latest Pikes?

I've check the net but it doesn't seem like any shop carries it. (maybe i didn't search hard enough). It seems like there's changes with bicycle shops eg. this shops used to sell Dahons but stop being a distributor, that shop now not selling 3sixty anymore etc etc

its a little confusing who's selling what brands nowadays.

Do these brands (3Sixty, Pikes, Dahons)only available online (Shopee,Carusell etc)?

you may try to check out Keen to Cycle. they have two branches.

1 outlet at sunway mentari, another 1 at klang jln meru.

they have plenty Pikes to view. do check them out.

Ah Thanks for that info!! Just contact them and currently they only have 3 colours left. I have to think hard between Pikes or 3Sixty. Do this support 107kg-ish guy? or should i wait for the B's? I found out ppl are selling B's like 11k and above at carousell!! 11k!!!! shocking.gif  If they goes 7k i maayyyyyy......consider rolleyes.gif  But as of now, maybe Pikes and 3sixty.

basically pikes or 360, they both are similar. not much difference but then you'll see more pikes on the road instead.

not sure on the supported weight for pikes, but the B could support max 110kg.

nowadays the B is running out of stocks from authorized seller. thus, those you see with 11k are from the bloody scalpers.

over this month, im have planned to change my Pikes' cog from 15t to 19t while maintaining 13t.

thus i have bought 19t cog and get my bike mechanic to work out the swapping & tuning.

unfortunately after the adjustment done. the gear shifting unable to work as intended, regardless shifting up or down.

the mechanic mentioning that the gap from 13t to 19t is too wide, though is may not able to shift up & down.

now im looking for advise, is there anything i would need to aware off or missed out?

its doable, even there's 12t & 19th on the run without issue. watch the video.

just that im not sure what am i missing here. is it the chain length issue? or the derailleur? or the mechanic no idea how to do it.

last time before i running on 3cog, i had setup 13t/18t. it can be done, only some tweak on ur chain anchorage/chainpusher. thats all. no major things need to be done.

and not to forget, extend a bit ur chain. if the chain too stretch, i wont shift nicely. be sure ur chain is not too long or not too short.. from 15t to 19t need to add up around 4 links from stock. also dont forget if u change bigger chainring, chain also need to add depends on ur chainring size.

ahh, i see... so thats probably due to chain length which i need to look after.

thanks a lot, i shall put it up & try based on your advice. appreciate much on your sharing bro.

no problemo bro,
later if ur hand get itchy why not try 3 cog setup. really nice to get closed ratio feel, also got 1 life saver cog laugh.gif

but, bear in mind the cost and time spent

haha 3x3 perhaps not that soon. while current budget & time are constraint.

just started to get this simple mod of 13t/19t first. after gotten your advice, finally i had made it worked out like how you mentioned.

really appreciate your kind words that solved the issue. it is really required to extend a longer chain in order get it shifted nicely.

btw do mind to share which brand chain pusher are you currently using that fits on Pikes? as i saw your chain pusher is slightly longer downwards.
