Hey guys.. will not be able to attend this week's Kiara ride.. just now I had an accident while on the way home in hujan lebat.. totally skinned my right knee and some parts of my feet.. skinned a part of my palm too.. as well as a bruised left tit (chest landed too)

Thanks guys.. hope you guys have fun on this Sunday ride

BTW bonesboy.. nice Epicon.. that is 2008 model?

I was over at a friend's coffee shop when it rained and it was about 7:20pm at that time.. should head back soon.. I was cornering a junction when there was a sand spill that wasn't there before (must be those darn construction guys again). Wet sand on road + cornering = Slip-slip-crash.

Haha guess what when I woke up my selimut was sticking to one of my wounds xD

BTW NS saw you gapping a longkang in the vid.. I always do that too haha.

True.. mine are mostly 2-3 feet. Longkang width is usually 3-4 feet. Your camera angle doesn't let me judge the height xD

Padan muka.. LOL JK.. this is to be fair since I cannot go

Alamak.. so jealous weh.. as a cripple I am so jealous at seeing such a great ride.. BTW snapshots where did you get those glasses? Got power ah? I also want haha

Pasang 5 different handphone alarms, play the loudest/annoying to wake up to songs you know.. how about Disturbed - Down With The Sickness, Atreyu - Ex's and Oh's, Alpa Chino - I Love Tha P*ssy, Ludacris - Get Back, The Notorious B.I.G. - Hypnotize, Paramore - Misery Business.. haha.. I memang takde kerja LOL..

if none of the above songs work.. listen to The Cardigans - Lovefool. That'll wake you up!


PCP is Putrajaya Challenge Park.. 4km tarmac sprint? You want to chase maxguy ah? LOL if got NS then no need sprint.. he is the mountain turtle going up, but the mountain elephant going down.. you don't wanna chase him downhill unless you've put on a full-face helm, body armor, neck brace, knee pads.. (inside joke).

Sure disc brakes are heavier than the V-alternative.. I remember I think it was sniper who weighted a few disc brakes including my model which is Avid Juicy 3. One can say a disc brake is heavy or what la.. but you don't really care haha.. to me it instills confidence. Before using my Commencal, my V-B's worked good in Kiara but I couldn't stay for long at a slope xD not even with Kool-Stops.

That's normal lah.. what you should dois train more on drops.. but I still can't tackle some in Kiara due to the unsafe feeling of the narrow trails. I can now drop up to 4 feet.. train by bouncing off kerbs.. then double steps.. then a set of 4/5 steps (like in the video of you going down steps, except GAP it!).. then you can try gapping longkangs.. then after that is beyond my expertise so you can go ask NS how he do all that cool moves haha

Deng.. I thought it's Oakley brand or something haha.. I'll need ones with power since I am wearing prescription eyeglasses (which I think you do too, TD94). Anyway I wonder if got anyone use diving goggles as DH goggles haha..

4km from KSH all the way to the crossroads, rite? That's a good workout by itself.

Your XLR8R I thought you give your adik?

He is in Sarawak LOL..

That is a standard price only.. if you go shop can haggle until RM300 flat or something.. LOL.. I'm using that fork too (except mine is rebranded as Commencal)

Now that's really cheap (for a fork). It seems to be in great cond. If you'd like other users views and opinions read them here.. http://www.mtbr.com/cat/older-categories-b...55_1546crx.aspx

But it's branded MERIDA xD. Just like how my Commencal is using a Merida chainstay protector.. alot of people tell me that "Merida and Commencal wasn't meant to be together" but ah who cares?

Anyway this thing nak bawak pergi Indon ah?

Cheh.. anyway the higher end Dunlops/Wilson can be custom made for people who rabun mata like me? Why Pay More.. sounds familiar.. where is the shop?

Mine already pass haha..

Lucky you don't have a hardcore DH bike haha.. surcharges galore!

I've seen an Indonesian man transport a scooter using Air Asia when I flew to Bandung in 2007 haha. It's been expertly disassembled into a (heavy) box with a wooden frame all around.. roughly 1/4 the size of a single bed. In the end the weight of the scooter is probably gonna rosakkan the conveyor belt or something, I saw them bring the box outside using two trolleys and load it into one of those baggage cars.

LOL guys, I NBTD just now, go cincai2 design a shirt for fun..

Got.. I know its Taiwan brand but in Malaysia its mostly their accessories.. my LBS got one Venzo Hephaestus bike.. from what I see in Malaysia, Venzo is mostly people buy their lock-on grips haha.

I dunno lah.. it's a new brand though, although I wouldn't trust my body to their frames haha.. I went to their website just now and it looks quite loaded with many diff. bikes and accessories. They also have a huge catalog in PDF format downloadable from their website.. Venzo carries some nice stuff also lah.. quite affordable if they bring in more accessories into M'sia. It's just a okay brand I guess haha. Anyway gotta sleep now, here's their webbie if you're interested..

I got my Fox HC longsleeve jersey at a rid-off in KSH last year.. RM30 only.

Ahahahaha.. 'most of the time'? Just how many times did you break chains?

Aiya.. I am still not fully recovered yet.. limping here and there LOL.. damn TWO rides in a weekend? Kiara misses me

Wow.. my pocket money is RM80 haha. But that saying, sometimes I don't get pocket money at all (since my mom always pays for my stuff). 7 grand for 7A's? Schweet! I got an LG KP500 'Cookie' instead for my PMR.. . My Giant is using a Truvativ FireX.. but not bothered to check up on any problems xD

I'm using a KMC chain too since my chain snapped at the Selangor MTB Challenge '09.. not sure which model 'cos it was my dad who brought it to the shop (it costed RM160 +/-)? But it ain't gold for sure. I'm 171cm and 54.5 kg.. I'd just buy a simple Cateye Velo 8 or something.. just want basic function haha. But if my geekier half gets the better of me, I'd get a wireless one like my dad.

LOL.. that's alot to ask from one person haha.. actually I sorta agree with you.. since I can't ride either, by next week I'll be able to recover fully and start riding again I guess.. damn I forgot that I don't have a single mode of transportation to FRIM! (unless I cycle there - but I sorta forgot the way =.=)


Haha.. now RM1 bring to school not enough bro, Roti Canai Cheese at my school already RM1.50.. mineral water sudah RM1 flat.. a bottle of Pop is RM1.30.. perhaps RM4 would do now if you always eat school food haha.

SWEET RIDE. How much is the frame itself?

Man.. if you joined the Selangor Mountain Bike Challenge '09, 75% of the 25KM distance is UPHILL (including some of FRIM's famous ups such as Steroids).

Wow it's the 100th page. Wah maxguy thanks for sharing the racun pics haha. Wonder when will I finally be able to own a Fox fork..

Does anyone know which shop has GT Marathon 2.0 in Malaysia? I'm very the interested in this full-sus bike.. http://www.gtbicycles.com/twn/eng/Products...archived=t#2619

BTW dickybird no pics of today's ride?

LOL.. my Commencal is a DJ frame bike haha.. I'd like to own a full-sus bike for the first time LOL. I already have a Giant (since 2001) now its already scratched in places and is used to cycle to school haha.

Yesterday FRIM ride no gambar? I hope next week can join you all
