whoops, i'll pass

It's so tiring at Steroid Hill.. even on the lowest gear! I was panting like hell when I went there.. hence the name, you'll certainly must use steroids to go up.. even triggering myself into hyperactivity no-rest mode via some Wonka candies does not work there! Bah!

went there before, walked up

would love to follow, but have to work

where is steroid hill? i never been there before. who brought u there?

everybody: steroid hill or the horseshoe trail is DAMN worth the climb. whether you go up from the left hand side or the right, it is a BLAST! going up left means the ride down will be fast! and you get a real hammerring at the bottom coz of the ruts near the bottom. so for RS forks go to full RABBIT!

going up the right side is a hell of a climb, and the descent is more technical and slower, challenging. BUT THEN, you when you reach the flat section near the bottom there is a another trail that leads to the kepong botany gardens. then it becomes Super Steroid! your legs will be JELLY at the end of that! plus there is a little hump you can jump at the end.

which is why i walk

wad type of shimano gear suitable for offroad??

thinking of riding 2moro, in the afternoon if not too hot or storming. haha you thought i was gonna talk about pick ups didnt you?
but gotta bring rm20 to do the annual pass.

Bro, why you stripped down your bike?

Any groupset as long as it's not for road.

Update:
Heys guys, I've got another bike to use but for a week, a Merida TFS 900.
I didn't buy the bike, my friend bought it yesterday and he lent the bike to me for a week to test.
The reason he asked me to test his bike is because, he won't be at home for a week as it's school holidays and he doesn't wanna let the bike waste there.
Btw, he paid RM4.3k++ for the bike @ KSH (If you're curious).
