QUOTE(dickybird @ Apr 11 2009, 08:48 PM) bonesboy: in these wet and slippy conditions, the deeper the tread the better it will bite in to the trail. wider tires or tread blocks will allow the tire to clean itself of mud so you dont get all gummed up. kenda small blocks not suited for muddy trail coz it gum up fast with mud. yeah....it shines when the trail condition is dry....especially trails like in pcp....

If increase of performance....I would rather spend money on a wheelset rather than drivetrain....
My upgrade list (from first to last)
1)Crank
2)Wheelset
3)Cassette
4)Shifter
5)RD
6)Chain
Fork should change somewhere in between if the fork is so chapalang
However, for my case, the wheelset is still not upgraded becoz I have not found the dream wheels that I want which must fit these criterias:
1) Total weight with hub < 1.8kg
2) at least 25mm internal diameter
3) Tough as hell
4) White rims, red nipples, black spokes, red hubs
5) cheap

QUOTE(bonesboy @ Apr 15 2009, 06:47 PM) yeah. thats y i'm planning to get both my front & rear shifters to rapidfire shifters. now using tora bora xc wit epicon 09 dude, your epicon is 08 laaaa if im not mistaken, 09 has gold stanchion
Added on April 15, 2009, 7:25 pmQUOTE(ober @ Apr 15 2009, 07:23 PM) to suit ur weight wheelset performance, only way to go is AMERICAN WHEELSET! wuhu! but then, u won't get those colour thingys. so it's very hard to suit what u want there. there is an american classic that suits my criteria from 1) to 4) but not 5).......awesomely lightweight AM wheels but expensive like a ticket to hell (Although i think a ticket to hell could sometime be very cheap) This post has been edited by havenzhiv: Apr 15 2009, 07:25 PM |

QUOTE(TechnoDude94 @ Apr 20 2009, 12:02 PM) Darn it, maximum budget is only RM7k. Probably have to maintain the frame and upgrade the rest of the components. The place looks very cold. If a mountain goat needs to push, the rest will go through hell. Only one picture? Post all the pictures and videos ler. Beauty!  Is that for XC or AM? Hope you get well soon. Too much poison!  if you have 7k....you can get yourself a giant trance x2 already...a damn good bike.... |
