a leakage in the main chamber?

main suspects would be the valve core...

see if there are any leaks at the valve, if it ain't that, might be the seal between the top cap and the chamber had been compromised.

try opening the top cap at the air chamber side and try checking is the o-ring sealing the chamber and the top cap damaged or just experiment around lol...

anyway, since i'm super bored, for nostalgia sake, here are some photos showing the evolution of my bike

Started out as this(hey, everyone's gotta start from somewhere )


My first upgrade ever, a Deore RD


upgraded the drivetrain and also an immitation fork(hate that damned fork ), miss my old DCL for cross country use...


Changed the frame to an avalanche replica, discs came afterwards lol...


Then a new fork came in


My setup for my first ever downhill race,KDD2


Got the chucker


Snapped the Epicon, borrowed scotty's PDRM(Pro Downhill Racing Machine)


Another new fork, super long and hardcore-certified


And finally, another new frame


ah~ those were the days

hope u enjoyed my little evolution of bike

now its ur turn to post urs lol...

hey guys.. posting from singapore right now

i went to the singapore mountain bike carnival earlier and there are soooooo many people there.. and the main event is 100km xc race.. gila..lol

saw the legendary gary fisher today aswell.. although his age is more than half a century old...but HE COMPETED IN THE 100KM race...damn..huhuhu..

Wow! I wanted to go but only just went to SG last months and parents busy to take me.. yeah everyone's talking about Gary Fisher being there xD and he's coming to Malaysia too to open a bike store here (which I am not mistaken is owned by some Tan Sri or Datuk, no more details I know). The 100km race got some Malaysians also.. have you seen this tall Chinese guy on a pale yellow frame (brand cant be seen, covered by pump), with Furious Fred tires and an oversized saddle bag? That guy goes to my LBS and Kiara also lol..

Added on March 1, 2009, 12:13 amSure, it's also good to remember that most of us started with normal-use bikes.. except that my normal-use bike is a small Mickey Mouse bike from Toys'R'us which I used until Standard 1, then Standard 3 I bought my Giant XtC Team (woot!) and if you read my last post here today I just changed to a GT Backwoods..

my bike evolution:

Mmm...Bike evolution..mmm.. interesting.
Ever since the poison-ban.. got nothing to post di.

My bike history

1) Various bikes from childhood but the bike that I remember the most is my Le Run mountain bike. It's the first product from Le Run (then a new company). Had a blast with this hardtail. Had Shimano SiS drivetrain and got it after getting relatively good grades from my dad. Great memories from this bike.. rode it through secondary school...rode it everywhere my friends..chase skirts with it... had many epic adventures with this until I got a car during college. Sadly it was left to rust at home until 2 years ago when lil my sis sold it for scraps. Naturally I was upset. Since this was before the digital camera was invented, I have no pics

2) Fast forward 13 years... I'm married and living in Taiwan. One fine day while vacationing in Taichung's old railway which was now converted into a bike path, my wife and I rented some beaten down bikes and that event reminded me of how fun cycling was. On the way back, I was adamant on getting a bike.

Had a look around and was shocked at how expensive bikes became!!! Heck, my Le Run cost like RM300+ those days.

I ended up with a used 18speed KHS A-2500 which I bought off a friend for roughly the equivalent of RM200


3) Rode the KHS almost everyday until my wife decided to join me for some of the rides. We needed another bike.... Enter the 2008 Fuji Nevada 1.0 aka Maria. My first "proper bike".
It came with Deore drivetrain, XCR fork, Tektro v-brakes for roughly RM1200 which is the best value among its class then. Everything else (not including the no-brand ones) sold for at least RM300-400 more.


4) Maria was then upgraded with a Avid SD7s, Overdrive tires, Ergon grips, Rocket V saddles, MG-1 pedals and the R7 Elite Absolute fork. By then, I was riding 25km everyday and 60-80kms during the weekends.


5) As my wife begun to join me for most of the weekend ride, she quickly outgrew the KHS and was looking into getting a Giant Nana but due to the lack of space in our apartment and the fact that sometimes she goes on rides with her collegues after work, we gotten a Giant Halfway folding bike instead... which is now my commuter bike.


6) Then I was seriously poisoned by a neighbour's XTC Comp 1 with full XTR gruppo...after which, things just don't feel the same anymore. The poison was too great... so at 8.30pm October 10, 2008... I rode off to a nearby LBS, sold off Maria for a paltry ~RM700... took a taxi to another LBS and bought a Giant XTC HB3 aka Hebe + another Manitou R7. My wife was like... WTF??


7) Today, Hebe sports new everything except the original Deore FD, I'm 4kg lighter and much more powerful in bed

oh your wife must like it a lot then ?

hoho.. thats mine. nice fork for the money..

PCP and Shah Alam certified.. too bad the DJ section at PCP close today.

still remember urs. haha. it's funny.

how did you got into an accident?

Mhmm, I wanted to go to the carnival but I've got my PMR trial tests/exams. Got pictures of hawt-chicks on 2 wheels?

Hey man, I didn't know that you owned the "pink/purple" Raleigh. I recall seeing it for sale on BBS for a long, long, long time.

Hey bro, mind posting pics of your neighbour's XTC Comp 1 with full XTR gruppo?

Hey bro, is the bike on the most left (black in color) an Ellsworth? If not mistaken, I saw an Ellsworth bike (also black in color) with Fox 32/36 fork. It's on a Volvo.
