In theory lar.. personally I like the whaletail when hard pedalling but would prefer the nose to be a bit longer for climbs. Can't have everything I suppose. In the meantime, haven't found anything that can replace it. Of course, that's speaking for me and my bum only la.

Basically for normal cycling and a bit of downhill.

Morning guys! I know this is a little late notice but anyone wanna go cycling @ Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur on Tuesday (Today) during 5 pm -> 7 pm?Also, I need the pros here to please recommend me a fork to replace my forever-bottoming-out RST Capa T4! My budget for the replacing fork is only RM1200 (School-student = Low-budget ) The fork *should* be air and not coil spring, this fork will be used only for XC. PS: The fork will only be purchased in the end-of-the-year so that I maybe able to get the fork @ a much cheaper/reasonable fork because there'll be a new range of forks (2010). I prefer a new fork that is of RockShox-branding with 120mm of travel/lockout and should be light. Thanks in advance.

if u have the mullah go to Jamis xtrail 2.0...if on budget then t bolt...

bottoming out remedy is get a higher travel...a lot of ppl get confuse with bottoming, 90% compression is not bottoming, its when you land and you hear a loud "clack" both tube hitting now that is bottoming.

If not mistaken, my current fork is 80mm (). I know that I'm bottoming-out. What you said is correct, "its when you land and you hear a loud "clack" both tube hitting now that is bottoming." I've been experiencing that problem and the metal clanking sound is fu*king irritating!

this t bolt cost rm6500....whoa....

Tbolt at BBS

I can't see anything? Picture is too dark.

NS, where's your GT Chucker? Btw, since when did you change your frame to Da Bomb Sputnik?

Nice bike, seems like so many people upgrading/changing even though it's economic recession.

Bro, got other cyclists in Bangsar meh? I thought I was one of the few cyclists in Bangsar, never ever seen people cycling in Bangsar except me.

i called him up to ask for the wheelset...didnt know it would cost that much until 6.5k...but he should have list out the specs...

just wandering guys the steerer tube of 1.5 at the fornt fork can be machined shop to make a 1.1/8?

hmmm... that bike look familiar..

but the spec i didnt know...

You mean that just the wheelset costs RM6.5k or the whole bike costs 6.5k?

Suntour Epicon 09' - RM600+

try using the RST Capa and u would know that no matter how much that thing can give, it'll still bottom lol...

u got the one point five version Durolux?

btw, according to Zure, Suntour forks(at least for the Durolux) and Kowa forks comes out from the same factory lol...

buy the reducer bro.. cheaper..

nope.. you cant do that.. cause the steerer tube is hollow... and its not solid.. unless it is a solid tube, you can machine it down to 1 1/8 inch.. even if the steerer tube is thick enough to machine it down from 1.5 to 1 1/8 inch, i wouldnt recommend it cause you will weaken the steerer tube by A LOT!!

dude, speaking of machine, can you machine a custom 31.4mm to 27.2mm seatpost shim for me please?

31.4 is a freakin rare size

Mmmm... 09 Spinner Aeris.. now with rebound adjustment finally.

whole bike cost 6.5k

But I thought that you experienced problems with your Epicon? But yours was Epicon '08 right, so guys, anymore recommendations? I doubt "moorish" has experienced the RST Capa T4, it's a very cheap and budget fork. What was the damage done to yourself when the GT Chucker cracked?

Do you have any idea on how much that'll cost?

He just got into my book of "Most Expensive T-Bolt".

Anyone here wanna go cycling this Friday (20th Feb) @ Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur during 5 pm -> 7 pm? At least this time, I'm giving earlier notice. PS: I'm kinda' slow so I'll have to tag behind you. If it rains, it'll have to be cancelled.

The KKB-Fraser's hill ride is on 21st March 2009, who is interested please pm me for detail. thanks

all bikers is welcome
