Wah! this guy wants to use his bicycle chain for a lifetime!

i dont mind gettin wet by de rain
i'll only put the backpack raincover on n im gud to go
if rain only ok la
if got thunder boom boom i tink i'll wait
haha

ah
i had a confession to make
i use wd40 to clean n to lubricate de chain oso
huhu
but i didnt use brush tho
im using a baju buruk to clean all de grease
before dis i only clean de grease using some sabun i dono what
found it in kitchen cabinet
n afte clean i didnt use any lubricant
cuz im using ktm komuter n bagged it in de bag
so i don want de grease to kena anywhere (i tot it was a gud idea back then)
or else de ktm officer got points to not allow me bring de bike
but then after a while
de crank feels tighter(not in a gud way) n heavier
need mor effort to cycle than normally do
so i guess i still need to lubricate em chain
haizzz
why wd40?
errr
its written there it can lubricate
n cuz its kinda cheap oso (i tink dis is de main reason,hehe )
those who want cheaper can use singer oil,hehe
n somemore it is spray type wit de long stick nozle
convenience n no mess
i only meant to use it as a lubricant at first
but then when i spray at the chain
all de grease come off
hell dis is gud
2 in 1 eh?
but of course
dis is only me
a cincai guy
n de chains,cranks,freewheel is all cheap bodoh one only
if use highend grupset
myb i'll use a proper degreaser n lubricant
hehe



if use 3,4k grupset hell i wana use em for a lifetime too
hehe

cheers

I use a chain grease found at Ace Hardware. Silicon based! But kinda dirty after long use. Normally, I just put the bike on rear stand and then use a rag and dipped in diesel and grab the chain while cranking it. I do until the chain looks clean and then apply a fresh coat of the lubricant.

Groupset might be 3K to 4K but a good chain is about RM150 which might last you a year maybe two. Should be OK to change when needed after all if you do as the guy in Youtube does, you might even loosen the pins which makes the chain perform worse.

im using wd40 too. easier to find in those normal hardware shop.

a good specially formulated degreaser
- dissolves grease, oil, gunk, fast.
- can be hose off fast using water ( mix well with water )
- safe for chain n mild on bare hands..
- some claim to be environmental safe n biodegradable..

cheap n most powerful will be petrol...

thin lube/oil/silicon will fling n make a mess on ur bike frame rims etc....

Wah..someone selling the replica hummer at triple the price I bought

http://www.mudah.my/26+x17+19+inch+aluminu...in-22271332.htm

was surveying some foldable..got a quote on

dahon visc p18 2200
dahon mu p27 2500

are those price reasonable, kinda noob on this.

I think that the mu p27 will be a better choice, as the built is better. It should be around 2300

Dahon Mu P8 can fit in Peugeot 308CC transtop.....

I would go for the MU P27 but if you don't like internal gearings (there's a 3 speed internal hub gear) , you can go for the Visc P18 PROVIDED if they change the rear derailluers to a Tiagra unit. The 9 speed Neos tend to break apart after a few rides. It happened to many Visc and most of them change to a Tiagra RD. The change should also be borne by LeRun and I think it's fair.

quick check with those having a Cateye Micro Wireless(CC-MC200W)

there is no complete off function rite, it auto powers off after 10 mins without signal ...

and do you mount the sensor on top of the fork or below the fork ...

You can turn off the main screen with the Menu button, just press and don't let go until the screen goes off.

my cateye is mounted on my handlebar.

it comes with manual instruction bro... just follow..

the sensor should be within 70 cm from the computer.

As the sensor is designed to be movable within a certain amount, so what I did was to mount it in front of the left fork, so that if the sensor were to be accidentally pushed too close to the spokes, it will just be pushed back out, when the bike moves forwards.

Its a lot of fun to monitor the speed and the average speed.

For example, it took me about 1 hour to ride to work from Paramount, PJ to Masjid Jamek, KL yesterday, roughly about 13.4km, which means its about 13.4 kph average speed.

But after I installed it, I found that I installed it the wrong way from the diagrams..

So its better that you follow the instruction manual...

but the clock will remain ...

hahah most says cateye's instructions sucks ... see my reply below

yeah i saw this video from bell's devices that the sensor should be mounted in front of the fork as compare behind as if it comes off, it should get spinned forward as compared to backward into the wheel if mounted behind the fork

but in your case did the sensor worked? and the isntruction video from cateye says mount to top of fork, but this i guess depends on how far the sensor will work ...

will install this in the morning ...

Yes, it works fine. I think it may not matter which direction the magnet crosses the sensor as long as the magnet crosses it, the sensor will register a "beat" and will count the number of beats based on time and thus calculate the speed. It will also calculate the distance travelled.

however, i found out that the wireless computer is quite affected by handphone. If you put your handphone too near the computer, it will register some reading....
which will cause some inaccurate readings...

Hahaha.. I stay near Raja uda, But not very familiar with Kumbang Semang.. Can i join u next time to Mengkuang Dam..?

What Event its that on 15th Sept by KBB?

I read ur previous post, did u do something with ur bike? what did u change or upgrade?

Siao Lang.. some more its low spec of 26" Hummer, only 21 Speed..

Yealo..I mean..for my replica at RM900 also I feel abit high liao
