I always prefer my cycling trail as dry as possible.
How come that when the trail is very dry, more accidents happen when compared to a wet trail?
When you ride on a wet trail, must go slowly and lower risk of accidents, correct or not? icon_idea.gif
PS: I love sandy, as-dry-as-possible trails. Trains you on traction cycling when you slip on a corner. flex.gif

Shouldn't put a bottle cage.
Purchase a minimum of 3 liter hydration bag from CamelBak or Deuter.
Reason to use 3 liter is so that you've got the option of filling less than 3 liters.
If you purchase 2 liter and not enough, have to re-purchase another hydration bag and be warned, it ain't cheap.
Btw, your bike looks really clean even after the PCP ride. Not hardcore enough. brows.gif
May I know the specs of the Canondale F8?
I think it should be higher spec'd than the Merida.

Already got a major leak. shakehead.gif

QUOTE(ober @ Apr 29 2009, 01:38 PM)
why not a bottle cage? you cannot simply ask ppl to remove their bottle cage. In my opinion, for xc ridings, it would be suffocation if you're doing 2 hrs of xc ride with a waterbag on ur back. it's heavy. with bottle cage down there, you don't have any weight on your body. more comfortable for xc rides. ive been there and done that. if the rides would conclude of 3-5hrs rides, a hydration bag would be suggestive. as you would be bringing some food as well.
riding in pcp with a clean look of the bike doesnt mean he's not hardcore. most probably pcp is dry.
*
Sorry bro. I didn't ask him to remove the bottle cage. sweat.gif
Actually, I believe that 2 liter (2 kg +/-) isn't too much if you're going for a 3 hour XC ride. icon_idea.gif

Happy Birthday dude
birthday ride bro? lol...
remote lockout eh?
first check whether did u install the remote properly, the cable tension etc...
rebound control is to control how fast or slow the fork comes back out after it had been compressed...
generally, faster + bumpy trails shud put at a somewhat faster rebound, while for casual riding or slow/technical trail should adjust the rebound slightly slower, to prevent the fork shooting you back up after you hit a rock or something lol...

Thanks for the clarification. icon_rolleyes.gif

Nope, that's not my bike haha.. I'm using Kona Jackshit platform pedals, a smaller saddlebag, and certainly no CatEyes LOL. Nice find, though I'd at least scrub the tyres clean before selling my bike..
GT bikes are fairly good, especially for beginners.. plus with their unique Triple Triangle frame design.. I'm personally using a GT Backwoods (aside from a Commencal Normal Disc and Giant XtC Team) that is about 10 years old.. even up to this year it has survived numerous trips to Kiara and a XC competition some years ago in RRI. Plus my GT frame is really light! The kind of GT you'll find nowadays in M'sia are mostly targeted to beginners such as the GT Avalanche model.

PCC, Your Perfect Cycling Companion
This weekend is a beginner s weekend at FRIM. As they now charge for
entrance into FRIM via Sungai Buloh, bring $3.00 in your jersey for toll gate
fees. See you all then.
Date: 22 February 2009
Location: FRIM
Ride distance: 20 km s +
Ride description: An easy trail with gentle climbs in secondary jungle. Mostly under tree canopy all very rideable.
Chance to re fuel and talk cock at the FRIM Caf? ? way through. Suitable for all levels of riders.
Meeting Place: Old Sungai Buloh Leprosy Hospital Car Park
Meeting Time: 730am
Contact Person: Rob Skywalker (012 619 1308) or Spare Parts Choy (012 395 5255)
Directions
From MRR2/Kepong/Bukit Manjalara, head towards Sg. Buloh on Jalan Sg. Buloh. Follow this road for about 4km and
keep eye out for turn off for the PLUS highway. Go past this turn off. At the next junction, stay in the left hand lanes but
don t turn left. Go straight a little and it will lead to a fly over that turns right towards the Hospital. There s a sign.
Follow this through 2 sets of traffic lights until you see the main hospital building on the right. Turn left and cross over a

Using the PLUS/NKVE highways, there is an exit for the Sg Buloh Hospital that lands you right in front of it. Turn left at
the lights, then PKKN is on the left side.

I wish you could organize rides like that more frequently.
I love the ride up from the Sg. Buloh Leprosy Hospital Car Park into FRIM. (A lot of uphill tongue.gif).
Btw, the date is supposed to be 3rd May '09 right, I'm sorry but I won't be able to cycle until 24th May. doh.gif
