taobao selling at RMB 40.00 ....   

that is not including shipping...

to shop frm taobao....

price of item + china domestic shipping + international shipping to msia.

agents (lyn) will charges different rate.

last i bought is 1.90

depending on the sellers location in china, u need to find out the domestic shipping
rate from the seller say SanDong to collection centre most likely in GuangDong.

all this the agent can find out for u.
but if u can search for the cheapest item with the cheapest shipping, then u will save money.

normally in LYN, u DIY find the item in taobao, send the link to the agent to get quote,
if there are sizes n colour, u need to specify as well.

this lanun ergon, i;ve found got 2 type, aluminium n magnesium alloy.
alu = 40 mg = 55
bear in mind the finishing (most likely) is no where near the ori...( i guess oni, haven't seen the real one )

agents charge by weight n volumetric weight, - which ever is heavier.
minimum is 1kg = RM 12

u will save if u buy more items, cos they help u pack everything into 1 box.

this grip 40+8 / 1.9 = 25.26
+ 12
= 37.26 linggit...
air freight direct to ur doorstep.

this basikal for u to rent...

Currently, there are two packages that tourists can opt for; the Free & Easy Cycle, which is a self-guided bicycle tour or the Guided Cycle Tour, the first-of-its-kind in the country, where riders are provided with a set of headphones that will allow them to hear a running commentary given by a tour guide.

Yes, we can do that and it will be quite nice to ride around in the early morning, let's say about 8 am to 10 am, perhaps on a Sunday morning, where traffic will be at a minimum.

I sometimes just start from PJ and head onto KL around and around and then back.    But if its a big group, perhaps its better we park and meet somewhere in KL, for example at Lake Gardens and then start from there, to head towards city centre.

then lets set a date and we start count person now ... 

Hahah!  Great !

To start,
1.  we will need to identify the parking lot that will be safe to park our cars.
2.  Get down to plan a route to ride around in the city...
3.  with a food stopover ( get some drinks and food for breakfast - maybe at teh tarik , roti canai stalls?)
4.  Bikes group Photo sessions, , the Cyclists group photo sessions,  Anyone got Go Pro hero, can bring along too..
we will need one cyclist in the front to lead the way (not too fast, not too slow)
we will need one cyclist at the back to be on the look out to cover any one who slips or terjatuh ...

mini project here...

You better find a better place to eat other than Jalan Imbi market! Although Ah Weng Hailam Tea is good ( I drink there practically every morning) , their service is not too accommodating  and the problem of parking your bikes is there, more so on a Sunday. You won't even get a table either at Ah Weng or beisde. 

This Wheel Lights
are going viral on FB. Maybe nothing new to you

I do have another suggestion.  Instead of parking in KL, we try out the Car –Train – Bicycle option, to get the experience of commuting by car, train and bicycle, so that you know what to expect in your future travels.
1. Park at Asia Jaya open car park  (RM6 per day).  We can have peace of mind leaving our cars there as this is a paid car park area and no thieves should be breaking any car windows.
2. Fold the bikes, use elevator to go up to the train platform (got to use two different elevators and you will not need to carry your bikes – too heavy for me.  Just fold it and Push or Pull it along using the bike’s wheels )  I normally do not use any bag to cover the bike nowadays, just fold it and hold on to it while in the train.
3. Use the LRT to go to Masjid Jamek (get out and use two different elevators again to go out)
4. Once you are past the Ticketing machine, you can then unfold your bikes and push it down a ramp at the rear end towards the river side next to Bank Muamalat.  Again you do not have to carry your bikes down any stairs.
5.  Once we are on the open road, we can then proceed to the route that anyone can come up with.  (We can start from OCBC building to follow Samo’s suggestion,  have breakfast at some food stalls and take the train from any LRT station in town to get back to the Asia Jaya LRT car park)  But the route going on Jalan Kuching sounds scary, I have heard of many fatal accidents there – also the OCBC cycle ride may have outrider escorts, so its safer I think?  Personally I prefer the quieter roads or back roads, Jalan Inai, Jalan Raja Chulan, Jalan Ceylon, Jalan Alor, can also go to Pudu market )
If everyone is ok, we can try to follow the timing below this coming Sunday morning :

At 7am, reach car park at Asia Jaya.  Take train to reach Masjid Jamek at 7:30am.
7:30am to 8:30 am ride around the city.
8:45am look for food spot, have breakfast, take photos  (we go for halal food if our Muslim brothers join in)
9:30am ride to any LRT Train station in case we are tired as this is the first long distance ride (and this LRT can be Pasar Seni, Dang Wangi, or even KLCC) to go back to Asia Jaya car park.
10:30 am  Fold bikes and pack up in the cars (so long and bye bye till the next event)
What to Prepare?
1. Helmet is preferable
2. Light or bright color T-shirt
3. Rear red light (not necessary but will be helpful even in the daytime)
4.  Bottle of water / canned drinks
5. Puncture kit and spare inner tube (I will be bringing mine on a saddle bag, so you don’t need to buy if you don’t have – but mine is a 20” tube)
6. Small tool kit / allen keys to adjust brakes and brake pads, saddle positions, handlebars, I will bring mine as well
7. First aid kit (minimal needed  - plasters, cotton buds and antiseptic cream) in case you get a fall and cut yourself or get foot blisters
8. Small chain or cable lock as you will need to leave your bikes somewhere while you get your breakfast
9. Small back pack or small bag slung over your handlebars to carry your loose items
One last NOTE:  If on Sunday morning, it rains cats and dogs, like with lightning and thunder,  have to abandon plans for city ride !!!  Its not much fun to ride in heavy rain,  slight drizzle is still OK.
If there are more than 5 riders, we will go for it.  If not, then we wait for another weekend.

What to Prepare?
1. Helmet is preferable
        HELMETS SHOULD BE COMPULSORY! No helemt NO ride.[
2. Light or bright color T-shirt
3. Rear red light (not necessary but will be helpful even in the daytime)
        Rear light is highly advisible.
4.  Bottle of water / canned drinks
5. Puncture kit and spare inner tube (I will be bringing mine on a saddle bag, so you don’t need to buy if you don’t  have – but mine is a 20” tube)
        It's OK for the patch kit if you don't carry one. It actually meant more for touring nowadays as space in the panniers are tight. For rides as mentioned, just carry two spare tubes. It's faster and more convenient. If you want to patch then carry the punctured tubes home and patch at home. You don't want to be holding up the whole ride while you patch and most of the times, patching is shoddy when in a hurry! Carrying your own spare tubes must also be made compulsory!

6. Small tool kit / allen keys to adjust brakes and brake pads, saddle positions, handlebars, I will bring mine as well
7. First aid kit (minimal needed - plasters, cotton buds and antiseptic cream) in case you get a fall and cut yourself or get foot blisters
8. Small chain or cable lock as you will need to leave your bikes somewhere while you get your breakfast
9. Small back pack or small bag slung over your handlebars to carry your loose items

u can learn to DIY tune , save u time n u learn how to jaga ur bike..
just google n spend some time to read n understand...
it is not difficult, just a few screws to turn n adjust....

if really kenot solve.. then bring to bike shop....

i meant tune the RD + FD....
not other parts, cos he said chain got sound while cycling at biggest cog....

just need screw drivers n small spanner...

Any idea how to solve or tune the bike when your chain is riding against the frame? My xds chain is rubbing on the frame on 3 different gears..

eh dun simply tighten the screws on the D, cos the chain needs to be set on
different positions first.... 

check out sheldon brown site about adjusting.... if u can read a lot... 

  Thanks,  this is my first time to organise a ride...

Cheers..

Aisay man.. Four people not enough quota ka?

You want to lead 100 cyclists ka? 

For a first-time ride leader, four is a manageable group. Anything happen, you have three other guys to count on. Since most of you are beginners, this is a good opportunity to meet up, socialise and bond..

Sam

So let's do it.   (if it is raining, we wait for a while to let it stop, if still rain continuous, we abandon plans)

If anyone would like to join in on Sunday morning KL city ride, but cannot confirm yet, you are most WELCOME to just turn up at Asia Jaya LRT open car park  (at 7:00 to 7:10am or at Masjid Jamek LRT station (at about 7:30am to 7:45 am)
