QUOTE(Andy Lo @ Mar 7 2008, 10:13 PM) Night...I prefer the XCR over the Dart2.. if you look at some online retail sites in uk, they have recommendations for components but they dont sell suntour forks at all! i think it is more an OEM player rather then aftermarket upgrades. in the latest issue of what mountainbike, they review a full suss merida with epicon shock, and it was rubbish!But what you think of Suntour Epicon? Lots of riders here are using and it's quite good. Added on March 7, 2008, 10:44 pmXCR is very good for the price. Reviews says it's bad maybe because they compared it to forks double its price?  |

QUOTE(akchang @ Mar 8 2008, 12:32 PM) dickybird, but going by the review, you would think about the giant but i really dont fancy the giant, sentimentally, i still wish for a new spez coz last time i did have a spez hardrock that got stolen in london. but i think my jamis made forgot all about my spez. now i only remember that it was blue and nimbus ex tires. i do fancy the trek fuel though but if i had 1 wish it would be spez epic!well...i think the reviewer saw the fork anticlimax for the package..anyway merida shud at least give a better forks... |

QUOTE(smokey @ Mar 8 2008, 03:08 PM) hi guys... cycle LDP, been there done that and didnt have to pay toll! do u guys dare to cycle on LDP, seremban highway or north south highway? i wan to try to reach seri kembangan by cycling from bkt jalil...is it possible? i measured the distance using google map is about 10km...  had to do it coz i didnt have a bike carrier, so off i went to meet my kakis at ttdi. it was ok coz the traffic is slow on sunday morning but then a really indian cow in her kelisa honked for no reason!  up yours b****!a good idea is to drive the route and mentally figure out the route and you want to take that will be least tiring. that is how i did it. |

QUOTE(me0wSter @ Mar 13 2008, 09:25 AM) Erm, normal pedals are called platforms while shoes which clip to your pedals are called clipless.. Don't ask me why.. because before clipless pedals there were toe clip pedals which had a piece of plastic in the front holding your toe in place with an adjustable strap. then came clipless lo. begitulah sejarahnya |

just for commuting then just a cheapo bike with a rigid fork and normal wheels and V brakes will do la. since you not really going off road then no need fancy fancy one la. just stick with your budget and resist all efforts to get you to try and buy something else.
v brake is the most common now and puts the brake pad on the rim while disc brake puts the brake pad on a disc like cars. not too many bike shops in the kepong segambut area, if you know taman sri sinar than can go to kim mun next to the toto 4d outlet. there are some more bike shops in kepong baru but generally all sell low end stuff la, good enough for your case. got one high class shop in desa park city sell branded bikes like in the pj area.

QUOTE(mudz @ Apr 22 2008, 08:19 PM) but it looks like that wor , i go and confirm again tomorrow well maybe cheaper or more mahal up there. anyway look to pay about 500 to 600 enuff la, as long as the bike is not too heavy and you got money left to buy a helmet and lock. like i said already, no need discs since you not doing MTB, even i do not use discs when i go frim and since i dont go to kiara much i dont need on my current mtb that also serves as my commute bike. which reminds me, kesian my mavic Xrides and camelbak sittting doing nothing the last 2 months. must try and go ride this weekend before i go penang next week.and im wondering izit possible to get cheaper ones in kampar -.- |

QUOTE(Andy Lo @ May 3 2008, 12:12 AM) WTF?? I missed out all the action... nightstalker is a such a cool usuername too! do you ride in the dark? muahahaWell sometimes we answer ur querries/questions indirectly. U just have to catch up. Haha... If no reply then it usually means that nobody knows the answer, or perhaps it will also mean that you better get that lazy mind up and check for the answer urself! Internet? Whatever.. Aduih..  Added on May 3, 2008, 12:17 amWant a good example? I think not many people have answered Nightstalker's queries on the Epicon fork. You can check back for those few pages back. The reason? Nobody is using that fork, and we cannot acctually tell whether a fork is good or not, because every rider likes a different fork. I don't see Nightstalker getting frust or sulking at all also. He eventually checked out those from the Internet, did his own research, and is happily riding with that Epicon now. |
