haha! lagi no money for bikes! hopefully can survive on my pocket till payday.
i tell you it is murder paying for 2 homes and a car.
if i want to upgrade also maybe go for a fresh Deore or after i finally clear my credit card, an XT shadow RD to celebrate! 

lotsa lotsa practise
about the rd moves less thing, thats not coz of the 1:1 ratio, but its coz the SRAM ones have a firmer spring at that time...

now Shimano's RDs are fitted with a firmer spring especially the Saint lol...

owh..thats 1:1 and 2:1....
thanks dickybird..

u watch TG too?? hehehhe...same here....

hahahhhaaa... now only i know my x7 is 1:1.... and yesterday only i know whats 1:1....

well.... thats why this is a veli veli usefull thread....

if ure itchy for srams, get x9 for rm650 a set of shifters+rd+cassette(pg970).

btw, iman.
it seems like ure having trouble to sell off ur pimplite rims?

cuz pimplite white, new is at rm350 at boon foo if im not mistaken. ick.

iman_210.. have you consider getting the saint rd? its rm380 though.... but the spring is like super keras.. huhu.. tried it on zure's rig.. chainslap is pretty much zero..

Eh... I thought we puasa upgrading stuffs?

Mmmm... Why gatal wanna get SRAM anyway?
Super expensive bike parts sial.

Happy B'day 

If you're using SLX, doesn't really make sense to change to X9 also. Besides.... DH need shifting ker?

Better just add chain tensioner right?

This has just been build up today. Will be in progress from time to time. Oh mozzies are a killer. and yes this is NOT bukit dinding.

Enjoy!

WARNING TO ALL KIARA RIDERS: DON'T GO TO 4K LOOP.

Today a friend of mine and me hit the 4k loop after cruising though 2k and Snakes and Ladders. It used to be that 4k was the 'most recommended' trail. It is now in a state of shame. The trails are extremely narrow (they were narrow in the first place, now the shrubs are creeping in from all sides!) that we feel like we are riding inside bushes.

Once you pass the bridge beside the lake the overgrowth starts to engulf you. Many times I had to let down my feet to push through the leaves. There is a fork after a slope here. To the right, it takes you to the tarmac that adjoins 2k, which is preceded by a slope+switchback that is uber-slippery. To the left, is the real 4k.

We knew it was 4k because we can see those tiny little white papers that are littered around to mark that "you are on the right trail". And because the map says so. There are also many papers saying ON-ON. WTF does this mean?

We went further. The trail was arduous, but we went on, hoping to eventually reach the ramp that is placed near the 4k entrance in a proper manner of completing the rest of the loop first. After some time (trail felt long because we cycled slowly, dangerous) we faced a dead end. Not really a dead end, but a tree had fallen across the trail! Now Kiara trails are mostly built ON a slope, levelled well and widened a bit for cyclists and hikers alike.

We cannot pass further. We were both dissapointed like a pair of participants in the Amazing Race that got stuck! I tried to see if I could go pass the deadfall, but it was the main leafy/branchy part that is covering the trail, and we'd have to be able to fly at least 3 metres to get past it! After getting bitten by at least 20 mozzies  due to the slow ritual of turning your bike to the opposite direction in a 50cm wide trail, we trudged onwards back to the tarmac. Halfway back, my friend suddenly plunged for about 5 feet down the hill that lines up beside the trail after his back tyre slipped on a root. A clump of bushes stopped his fall (good use of bushes, finally). We moved on back and finally reached the pump house where 4k starts.

Went to the bike washing area and the water trickles like piss. Managed to clean off the bike and see an elderly Korean couple chucking watermelon cubes to the monkeys.

Went to Devi's Corner to drink, and luckily got some decent amoi and minah eating there. Good way to vent off all the unhappyness from 4k.

I thought got a bunch of white people and some riders to some trail maintenance? Or do they only maintain the trails more often used like for KDD?

when did u go to extreme park??
