I think better go with wheels change instead tongue.gif

It's just that the ori equipment on 9 speeds are usually lighter niah. That's why feel like it's better.. shifters faster..that's about it.

If want kayuh cepat cepat and tinggi tinggi --> Lighter wheels/tires

Seriously... Fork- Frame - Wheels. That's the most important. Everything else is just for comfort or bling only.

had fun during the weekend at johor.. definitely going there again.. now need to recover from the "nangka busuk" crash and more XC for me definitely.. not enough stamina to get trough the trail guys..huhuhu

I was the one who took those pics of Ober hehe... was there whole day Saturday & Sunday
I really wanted to enter the race but I sent my rear shock for servicing and didn't get it back in time doh.gif

yeah lots of crashes even for the pros, especially at the triple drops into off camber turn near the starting point. Hong Chun & Nan Uncle Bully crashed there in the morning session. Super dry & loose track haha...

Just suggesting to put priority on frame-fork-wheels over drivetrain only due to more substantial effect on performance.

ouch! Kesian...but you'll be a better rider after a few falls. You gotta scan 20-30 feet ahead and shift body as u approach obstacles. Better hardware doesn't mean you wont fall. I had a fellow friend who quit mtb because he got too many injuries. His leg full of scars until his wife banned him from riding. He has converted to roadie since. What to do...his wife love him too much and everytime he comes back with a wound, her heart hurts...ekekeke.

He he...we are very hardcore here. Most of our riders here are very "close friends" with jagged rocky trails. I too have made friends with the rocks...LOL. I am already a very careful rider & finding it hard to catch up with them when going downhill on these dangerous trail sections...it's so darn dangerous. Cycling only mar...no need to risk it all. Some of them tackle such trails with a hardtail bike notworthy.gif .

Of course for roadie, also has it's dangers...but mtb still more risk of falling because riding offroad...rocky trails, slippery rooty trails, muddy trails...to sum up, environmental triggered. For roadie, do avoid those heavy traffic areas la...and ride with caution especially at junction. My fren almost kena sandwich between a trailer and curb during cornering because the trailer driver didn't see him mad.gif . That's why on road, we shud ride with caution and dont expect drivers or motorcyclist to "see" us smile.gif .

for MTB, accidents happen because of their own action, so crashes can be controlled by not riding too hardcore etc....

but for roadies, accidents are usually freak accidents. eg. car coming towards you after a blind corner, rempits, holes on the road at night etc~

its up to you to decide which is more dangerous...

for MTB, accidents happen because of their own action, so crashes can be controlled by not riding too hardcore etc....

but for roadies, accidents are usually freak accidents. eg. car coming towards you after a blind corner, rempits, holes on the road at night etc~

its up to you to decide which is more dangerous...

I think better go with wheels change instead tongue.gif

It's just that the ori equipment on 9 speeds are usually lighter niah. That's why feel like it's better.. shifters faster..that's about it.

If want kayuh cepat cepat and tinggi tinggi --> Lighter wheels/tires

wow..huhu.. which one is you? lol
im the slowest rider there guys!!..

definitely shows that not riding for a freaking long time takes a toll on me..hahaha.. fell twice at the race.. once at practice, and one at the road gap... its definitely a freaking tight trail, with lots of off chamber turns, drops into turns, freaking long pedalling section and not for getting the super looooooosssseeeee track..hahaha..

had fun during the weekend at johor.. definitely going there again.. now need to recover from the "nangka busuk" crash and more XC for me definitely.. not enough stamina to get trough the trail guys..huhuhu

owh ya... my fork bengkok abit, but still ridable..laugh.gif

agree...both are dangerous, and somehow I believe road is fatal, MTB we still have a bit of control for not riding like a hooligan, road accident is when a drunk MTH FKR crashes on you and we've no control.

I heard sifus say never use wd-40 la. Not good for the chain. I dont like the idea of getting that stuff seeping into the rollers between the chain. Currently, I just use a rag to wipe the chain until clean (but cannot get between the rollers), then re-lube it. Thinking of getting diesel and give it a good scrub.

the grade is the same for ur usage ler, Any diesel from any petrol station will do ler.. can just get a bottle and fill with some diesel.

No need to scrub ler...remove chain (quick links are useful).. pop it into a bottle of degreaser/diesel/whatever you fancy... shake shake shake... let the chain lepak there fer a while... remove... let it dry/evaporate... relube... install... done.

The degreaser you can recycle by putting it through a sieve.

Hey MTB-ikers! I'm back. flex.gif After a fu*king long break from forumming. Mainly due to the fact I've got PMR this year (October yawn.gif). doh.gif
Anyway, here's my question to "scotty", do you drive a grey-colored Proton Wira Aeroback and have two bike holders (Thule-branded)? Cause I saw a young man who is pretty slim, has a bike helmet, a hydration bag and a box of "Sonic Gear EGO" speakers in the rear seats? shocking.gif

Hey MTB-ikers! I'm back. flex.gif After a fu*king long break from forumming. Mainly due to the fact I've got PMR this year (October yawn.gif). doh.gif
Anyway, here's my question to "scotty", do you drive a grey-colored Proton Wira Aeroback and have two bike holders (Thule-branded)? Cause I saw a young man who is pretty slim, has a bike helmet, a hydration bag and a box of "Sonic Gear EGO" speakers in the rear seats? shocking.gif

sounds pretty much like him...

Since we are in the topic on wheelsets. I too am shopping around for 1 set. Currently already shortlisted the components. I do have 1 question though regarding choosing the right rim. They've got 32 hole & 36 hole options. Base on what criteria should I choose? Does it mean if you buy 36h rim, you'll need to buy hub with 36 holes? May seem straight forward but I'm a dummy when it comes to these components.

So moorish, what components have you narrowed down for your new wheelset? There's a brand new XT wheelset at BBS.

yes, obviously you need a matching spoke h. rim with a matching spoke h. hub....

get the 32h one as 32h is more standard and 36h is much harder to find these days....

So far the cheapest is American classic and DIY, Mavic 717, A2Z hub and DT rev spoke. Lbs says the later choice would be better as AC known to hv hub problem.

maxguy..
they ship using normal postal service or courier like DHL, FedEX or UPS?
because my friend advice me that when buying from oversea, always use courier... coz item will easily lost/damage when handle by posmalaysia....

courier such as dhl, fedex cost you an arm and leg..

USPS and royal mail is fine.. always make sure the postage include tracking no and insurance. reduce BIG chances of your packaging lost or stolen.

and btw, also ask the person who ship the item put your phone number on the custom declarations. so they can contact you when you item is stuck at Pos KLIA. last time one the stuff i bought stuck there for a few weeks and almost send back. luckily i receive the notification note in time.

and usually any stuff over RM700 will stuck there... just sharing. biggrin.gif

over RM500 will get tax... there is a sign board on the custom office....
sometime u are lucky, then straight send to you house
if unlucky, will go to declare, but sometime pay nothing too... they just inspect only

May I know what brand and model is the shock pump that your using? I recommend Topeak, I'm don't have a shock pump as I walk across the street and borrow Rodalink's one. Also, when I remove the shock pump, there's zero/no air loss @ all. icon_idea.gif I'd recommend that you dismantle the whole fork and refit the whole fork with everything tightened to perfection just like a tight ass (brows.gif).

using some cheapass pump which does not have anti-pressure loss or wadeva-u-call-it feature, kinda annoying sometimes...

u wanna pump to 150psi, but once u release, it drops to 140 -.-"

and it BECAUSE i dismantled the fork its getting loose...

can't tighten something which doesn't have wrench flats easily no?

Anyone here wanna join me cycling?
Yesterday, my friends brought me to Lake Gardens @ Kuala Lumpur and I met many cyclists (MTB/Road) there and I thought it'll be good as I can go to Lake Gardens very easily without a car.
Please PM me if your interested.
Valentines Day Ride '09!
Location: Lake Gardens, Kuala Lumpur.
Meet-up Point: Entrance of Lake Gardens, near carpark.
Time: 5.15 pm (arrive), 5.20pm (start pedaling) -> 7.00 pm (end pedaling).

guys,

my stock Merida saddle is too bad ass for my future babies. Feeling numb..despite doing all the necessary standing for a while to relieve the pressure. sad.gif

Been researching high and low.

Currently looking at WTB Rocket V and also WTB Speed V. Which one should fair better?? or do you have other suggestion?
Dont really care about the weight, as long as comfortable..

Sniper, what your say on the WTB rocket?

Check your saddle fore-aft position as well first... the fat and seemingly comfy saddles are only comfortable for like... an hour most. After that it feels like being wrapped in wet diapers tongue.gif

Anyway... saddles are very much a bum-specific thing. I like my Rocket V despite its heavier than usual weight.. it's one of the essential trios that I don't care about weight.. my ergon grips, MG-1 and the Rocket V. Cheap and nice.

actually I think no one can help you on saddle,due to each of our bottom anatomy are diff. But certain criteria is important, avoid plushy seat if you bike is at aggressive pedaling position, means if you're riding like merida competition frame. You can use plushy seat for bike tailored for cityride eg those olden days chopper or rollsroyce.

Certain LBS allow you to try out seats for couple of hours, that'll be more than enuf, actually 30 mins you should be able to tell if the seat suits you. Take note on the pressure point, the correct place is the 2 sit bones. Choose the thinest seat you can find. At first your seat bones hurt, but very soon it'll get used to it and its the safest place, theres no nerve damage there. Plushy seat will put pressure on your future babies.

get a good roadbike seat...coz its meant for long seating...


Added on February 16, 2009, 10:46 amthis has made me change from my stinky 04 to the coiler 07

'We first developed the Coiler series so freeriders could have an easier time pedaling up and over hills. All Kona freeride bikes are pedal friendly, but these bikes have lost a little weight, and are angled slightly more for the hammer (the climb) than the nail (the huck)'

The Coiler 07

well...if the cash allow prolly for a Kona Stab 08 in June 09? hahaha

Well guys. I'm confortable with the old raleigh sit, the type with a parit in the centre. Ride it for like 4hours without serious numbness.. while the Merida stock saddle is the type without any parit.. ride it for 10 minutes already numb... even after on the road seat adjustment, still persist... maybe its time for me to visit my LBS and look around.

What moorish meant is that the geometry of your old raleigh and merida differs so you have to take that into account. I have a parit type sit that's comfy on my folding bike but totally hopeless ball-squisher on HeBe.

Try to adjust fore-aft of your saddle to rest on your assbone first and try again before getting a squisher.

The WTB parit minimize your nerve contacting the sadle, so that your sit bone rest on the saddle nicely. The same design in my old raleigh saddle.

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.

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! doh.gif My budget for the replacing fork is only RM1200 (School-student = Low-budget cry.gif) 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. nod.gif Thanks in advance. icon_rolleyes.gif

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 (doh.gif). 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! vmad.gif

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!!

iman, pm me the price of the pimp lite.. might know someone who wants it.

btw, pimp lite is strong enough to take the beating.. it's not like you are doing 20ft drop anyway.. should survive on everthing you throw at 'em.

should be fine. pimp and pimp lite are both pinned and not welded. so pretty much the same with slight weight difference. get sun double wide if you need a tough welded rim.

nway, i wouldn't mind taking the rim if you decided to take the hub smile.gif

i prefer the Zero Stack headset though, looks cleaner...

last time on the Chucker it was using a zero stack headset, so my fork was cut at 180mm which got lots of extra tubing peeking from the top whch looked ugly, friends call me to cut it off, thank god i didn't...

now on the sputnik its using the normal headset and the steerer tube is just long enough for me to add 1 spacer there sweat.gif

wasted rm88 on a new cane creek headset too doh.gif

First and foremost, welcome to MTB Heaven V9! Actually, if your a beginner. RM800 would be sufficient for a Proton T-Bolt, do note however, it doesn't have warranty so after your purchase, I'd recommend that you immediately send it for a complete servicing/regreasing/relubricating. Just my 2 cents.

First and foremost, welcome to MTB Heaven V9! Actually, if your a beginner. RM800 would be sufficient for a Proton T-Bolt, do note however, it doesn't have warranty so after your purchase, I'd recommend that you immediately send it for a complete servicing/regreasing/relubricating. Just my 2 cents.
I've met your "girlfriend" (Saphyra) but how can you be so mean and have an affair with "Songbird"? brows.gif Btw, can you cycle @ Lake Gardens @ KL this Friday during 5 pm -> 7 pm? hmm.gif Btw, may we know what's the difference with this "newer" Saphyra. Also, I love the "Apple" sticker. My T-Bolt has 4 of it (2 MacBooks icon_idea.gif).

I can't bro.I dun even know and that night got class.Well the songbird I meant is the new frame I'm getting this May.Hopefully got cash..Now aiming for DSLR bag. blush.gif

It's a case of drivetrain abuse and really bad habit to use those ratios dude.. keep the chain straight.

Need to change wheel hub as well. 6 speed's are freewheel while 9 speed are cassette. That aside... of course, there's the shifters. RD should be ok.

you'd need a new hub too if u wanna use a 9 spd cassette and most probably a new frame...

RD can be reused but shifter must be changed...

Everybody: if there is one piece of life long advice you shoul take other than wearing sunscreen is to degrease your chain! preferably with a chain cleaner and install a "missing link" so you can take it off and bath in the finest lube money can buy! i did it yesterday and now it is buttery smooth! although i think i may have missed lubing half the chain, coz i have bathed in lube.

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! doh.gif My budget for the replacing fork is only RM1200 (School-student = Low-budget cry.gif) 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. nod.gif Thanks in advance. icon_rolleyes.gif

My reply to your post here is even late.. from what I conclude I've ridden RST forked bikes.. RST Capa T4 is very low-spec.. the other RST's also not so good, like RST Gila Pro.. and all RST's doesn't work in the winter sadly (not that it may concern you), my uncle brought his T-Bolt to Japan on a 2-week trip and the RST fork wouldn't work in the winter.. NS suggested that you buy Suntour Epicon '09.. if you cannot tahan until 2010 then there's a cheaper Suntour XCR

Everybody: if there is one piece of life long advice you shoul take other than wearing sunscreen is to degrease your chain! preferably with a chain cleaner and install a "missing link" so you can take it off and bath in the finest lube money can buy! i did it yesterday and now it is buttery smooth! although i think i may have missed lubing half the chain, coz i have bathed in lube.

Sorry to hear about your mom dude.. but it doesn't stop you from coming back here in LYN.. welcome, welcome rclxms.gif I suppose you are surfing with those MacBooks you use in school as well biggrin.gif

I believe I am the same age as NS1993.. we both born in 1993, so yes.. I am from SMKBUD(4) school, and if it helps my school is located in between Ikano, Ikea, and One Utama. Pretty neat, eh?

Govt. schools have alot of cyclists especially BMX Rempits.. then there are those quiet nerdy guys who use Lerun.. and there's only three people (now two left) who has ever bought a 'expensive' bike to school before.. one is a stock Proton T-Bolt like yours, green color.. one is me.. and the other is a guy that likes to help out at the Bandar Utama bike shop.. he currently rides a GT Avalanche is he hasn't changed to a Da Bomb yet..

About the Suntour XCR fork.. I don't recall the inches of travel it offers but you can bet its more or less the average travel of your RST Capa T4. The shop I often hang out at in Bandar Utama has one in stock.. it's 200 plus, don't remember exact price because I didn't ask.. and a friend of mine has been ogling the Suntour XCR for some time to match his new bike, a 2006 Gary Fisher GED (not exactly new, but it wasn't second hand).

If you are from Sri Cempaka, I wonder if you know any boy named Irfan? He is born in 1994 and I believe he is the same age as you.. he is no longer studying there but he was once in Sri Cempaka. That's the guy with the Gary Fisher.. I roped him into the world of mountain biking..costed him and his parents $$$$ whistling.gif

After PMR? LOL.. PMR don't matter lah.. trust me.. I was laughing while doing the questions and I didn't even study (seriously!).. they were far easier than you think they are.. then again I'm sure you meant about the money.. but trust me man PMR not hard.. I always get C or D for Maths in normal exams then PMR can get A.. I got 5A3B by the way..

Anyway you've got the wrong Irfan.. the Irfan I knew once used a Lerun-comparable bicycle before getting a Gary Fisher recently (his first 'expensive' bike).. and Irfan was only introduced to MTB about November last year when I started shoving him into the singletrack trails nearby.. and yes he has a brother but his brother is only 4 years old and he is not using a Commencal >.< (too far out of their budget range!). The parents have money but is spent restocking their furniture/restaurant biggrin.gif and the Gary Fisher costs RM1380 because it is a 2006 model.. EVERYTHING is Bontrager, even the wheels, seat, seatpost.. except for a Cane Creek headset, and your norm of a Shimano brakes/groupset

rm1550 from AC, distributor of Deity and BlkMrkt products lol...

I think if those fu*ked up thieves are so God-damned desperate to steal a bike, they'll bring power tools to cut through any chain/lock. However, if they use an electrical saw to cut through your chain/lock, there'll be noise disturbances and your whole school would know that something is happening (bike robbery).

After PMR? LOL.. PMR don't matter lah.. trust me.. I was laughing while doing the questions and I didn't even study (seriously!).. they were far easier than you think they are.. then again I'm sure you meant about the money.. but trust me man PMR not hard.. I always get C or D for Maths in normal exams then PMR can get A.. I got 5A3B by the way..

Anyway you've got the wrong Irfan.. the Irfan I knew once used a Lerun-comparable bicycle before getting a Gary Fisher recently (his first 'expensive' bike).. and Irfan was only introduced to MTB about November last year when I started shoving him into the singletrack trails nearby.. and yes he has a brother but his brother is only 4 years old and he is not using a Commencal >.< (too far out of their budget range!). The parents have money but is spent restocking their furniture/restaurant biggrin.gif  and the Gary Fisher costs RM1380 because it is a 2006 model.. EVERYTHING is Bontrager, even the wheels, seat, seatpost.. except for a Cane Creek headset, and your norm of a Shimano brakes/groupset

the direct cable routing does not changes the ratio of pull, else you'd need a new shifter which is made for it lol...

like SRAM's 1:1 direct pull and the usual 2:1 pull ratio...

the direct cable routing just removes the huge cable loop entering the rd and since Shadow is made to reduce the chance of getting damaged, the huge cable loop is also removed to reduce the chance of something snagging the cable lol...

but the main reason of removing the loop is to reduce cable drag lol...

Logically, SLX is the best choice but just considering what other alternatives are there out there.... 2009 Stylo is now revised with OCT (hollow ler tu) and ceramic bearings wor.

Also 2009 XT.. lighter by some grams. There's also a trekking version (48T but chainguard). They shud've changed the crankarm color doh.gif

I'm more leaning towards either SLX or Stylo OCT

2009 Stylo OCT + GXP ceramic BB --> 820grams --> ~NT5200 (roughly RM570 I think)

Attached Image

Or the SLX which is around RM100+ cheaper.

2009 XT in Taiwan is around NT5800 - NT6200 depending on shop

hmn... if u can get the XT2009 at NT 5800.. then it would be better buy? no?
the stylo with the glossy paint, will probably get ugly after some wear...

SLX is about RM450 here...

Hey guys, I've got an urgent question that needs to be answered ASAP. Is it possible for me to oil my RST Capa T4 fork with WD-40? Can I just spray the oil on the stanchion tube directly or must I disassemble the whole fork?

hmn... if u can get the XT2009 at NT 5800.. then it would be better buy? no?
the stylo with the glossy paint, will probably get ugly after some wear...

SLX is about RM450 here...

anyway, i saw ur siggy.. u using XT crank.. why the change ?
*
My crank is Deore FC-M532 which is perfectly ok so there's no real reason to change except bling only doh.gif

Only b1tchin here..

XTR --> Best-est evaaaaa... but I'm not billionaire yet hmm.gif

Deore XT --> Don't like the silver crankarm. Although its got this easy wipe away coating on it... It's still silver.

Stylo OCT --> Best lookin one.. just not too hot with Truvativ or FSA stuffs for that matter.

SLX --> Best-est bang for buck except that I'm struggling to figure out what benefits do I get swapping the Deore with the SLX except for a ~60 odd gram weight reduction hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

Hey guys, I've got an urgent question that needs to be answered ASAP. Is it possible for me to oil my RST Capa T4 fork with WD-40? Can I just spray the oil on the stanchion tube directly or must I disassemble the whole fork?

WD-40's function is to remove moisture.. it's NOT a lubricant. So keep your WD40 for creaking stuck keyholes and such.

I just use teflon lube (finishline)... whack some around the stanchion... let it slip down.. lepak for a while... wipe excess off.

I'm more leaning towards either SLX or Stylo OCT

2009 Stylo OCT + GXP ceramic BB --> 820grams --> ~NT5200 (roughly RM570 I think)

Attached Image

Or the SLX which is around RM100+ cheaper.

2009 XT in Taiwan is around NT5800 - NT6200 depending on shop

Nice setup you got there bro, mind updating your siggy? brows.gif Urm, may I know where'd you purchase the whole groupset or did you purchase them one-by-one individually/separately.
i bought it one by one. i upgrade my rd and fd first coz that time crank, shifter and disk brake no stock. buy individual and whole set almost the same price. last time my problem is no xt stock.

just go visit bike shop during lunch hour n see Trek fuel ex7, very nice rm7.9k...got a bit gatal already...but no budget currently cry.gif

maybe can just change to giant xtc hardtail...

Logically, SLX is the best choice but just considering what other alternatives are there out there.... 2009 Stylo is now revised with OCT (hollow ler tu) and ceramic bearings wor.

Also 2009 XT.. lighter by some grams. There's also a trekking version (48T but chainguard). They shud've changed the crankarm color  doh.gif

This is 2008 XT... spot the difference?

I'm usually tarmac if you count cycling to school, mosque, friend's house and shop xD if you mean true cycling in the spirit of cycling, then I'd say mostly offroad.. so go and enjoy more XC.. icon_rolleyes.gif

Might wanna upgrade your fork first.. If I'm not mistaken yours is already bottomed out, no? If it's still good 'n proper I'd bash the hell out of it on XC. I usually go on official cycles (and camping) with my local T-Bolt club, only got 4-5 people don't use T-Bolt including me. They all bought T-Bolt for RM700 each from this guy getting rid of his stock..

Anyway does the Rodalink over there near your house stock good parts? I haven't been there ever since my mom quit her job at the Bank Simpanan Nasional (at the same row) a year ago. Maybe if I happen to be at Bangsar Village I'd drop by the Rodalink.. there used to be a Rodalink at One Utama 'Waterfront Promenade' over here but it's closed down for long.

quando is just a brand, you might say its a quando but it might be totally diffrent than what i have....

a simple question, what is the current number of gears on ur bike?

if its 8/9 then its compatible with 9spd, if it 7 or below then it ain't compatible lol...

you can actually, but you have to make a new compression ring for it.. but that route is much more expansive than buying a reducer cup + 1 1/8 headset.. plus.. 1 1/8 is abundant and you have much more broad choice of headsets

nope.. you have to MAKE ONE as in custom made..why is it more expansive? cause you basicly have to make 2 sets of things in order to make this setup work..one is a reducer, and one is a compression ring for the headset.. machining parts is not cheap and if you get the dimension wrong, it will actually put yourself on harms way..

da bomb headset is one example of a headset than can be used for 1.5 and 1 1/8inch steerer tube.. i think kota kemuning has it the last time i went there..take a look at it.. that is how you want your headset setup to be..

nope.. you have to MAKE ONE as in custom made..why is it more expansive? cause you basicly have to make 2 sets of things in order to make this setup work..one is a reducer, and one is a compression ring for the headset.. machining parts is not cheap and if you get the dimension wrong, it will actually put yourself on harms way..

da bomb headset is one example of a headset than can be used for 1.5 and 1 1/8inch steerer tube.. i think kota kemuning has it the last time i went there..take a look at it.. that is how you want your headset setup to be..

guess its not readily available for purchase...hv to make em right?

hmn.. yeah.. those kinda discussion will be interesting.
i'm interested in how to be consistent in pedaling on xc especially maintaining the cadence when going through uneven terrain while going up.

on the flat, seem to be easy and efficient with the right seating heights... but when going up hill, if terrain is very uneven, trying to roll over the roots or etc seem to always affect my momentum. hmn.. any tips and sharing on this ?

When I go for mild XC @ the forest around Lake Gardens, I just stand up and pedal at the middle gear. When I'm going up hill (higher ground), I use momentum to maintain my speed. When I'm going over tree roots, I *jump* (lift the fork up) and cross the roots.

It's kinda hard to describe it on a computer screen while not on the bike since most of it is like natural reaction.

What I do (or I think I do) is that I will move my ass forward of the saddle..semi-resting (not actually sitting but not actually standing either) the clenched (to avoid getting sodomised) asscheeks on the beak of the saddle.....arms will be in a L position so it reacts to the bumps and stuff better compared with the slightly stretched position while on the flats..... and when sense cadence dropping... will drop to the "effortless gear".

Because my routes are fixed... I sorta know what speeds @ what gear and at what point I should drop to go with my optimum cadence. Of course, it takes about 15 minutes for me to get into this "optimum" cadence in the sense of warming up.


ps: will try to make this as poison-free and stomach friendly as possible but lighter rotating weight helps a shitload. tongue.gif

okay. from my past experience.

what i do when i offroadd climbing is to set your gear at a speed u can maintain. let's say 2x4 would be the best for any terrain on offroad i guess. smile.gif

then god helps if there is no tire slips during climbing cause that will definitely lose the momentum.

of course breathing help you too.

haha. drops eh? easy ma. close eyes and hopefully ull not crash lah. wakaka.

no lah. do a drop with confidence and safely. but then those are the parts that always puts you on doubt to do a drop. it's just a matter that you know you can take it and do not think twice. hehe.

Last time when I cycled @ 1 X 1 (gearing), uphill on forest/jungle terrain but quite steep incline using semi-slick tires that became full-slick. I lost traction and was stationery while my bike's rear tire was spinning. doh.gif

i think for drop what i would do is maintain a speed i am comfortable, at the end of the drop, slight slant my body backward behind the saddle. On air, i would push the bike down and maintain my stance. Lastly ensure the springing action from my legs when I land on the receiver for comfort.

and i bloody hell make sure my footing is planted to my pedal and my hands are securedly fasten at my grip.

i did engage to the gears that i think would bring me up the slope.

however, sometimes even with uneven terrain.. going up is ok.. as long my wheels can roll over them nicely.
the situation when a bigger obstacle are in front... they just break the cadence... that is the time when i stand up and add on some pump to the pedal... but often with narrower track... i get off balance with little room to correct ... that when i fail to pedal up.

Forgot to mention that being "semi-seated".. can move back and front the saddle easier depending on front and back traction... and also easier to transit from semi-seat and seat...sorta like floating on top of the saddle. Standing only for that extra boost.

Actually, when you cycle on the tarmac/pavement/road. Make sure that you don't listen to music as you may not be able to listen to the environment (oncoming cars/behind you). Just my 2 cents.

i dun think riding with earphones is really a good idea. i dun think depriving your ears and brain of the sounds of nature when you are in the hill is good for the soul. and i dun think covering your ears from the sound of traffic and from what is going on around you is good for your health.
but for riding in rocky and sandy areas, a pair of goggles or clear lens shades are handy and look cool (depends on your taste la). raybans like the T1000 also can.

Perhaps, using a pair of "micro-earphones", like those type you see in movies that are used by army officials. It's so small, you put the *whole* think into your ear. shocking.gif That'll be good, the player should be like an iPod Shuffle with a wireless transmitter? icon_idea.gif

32x16 yup. oh, adding to climbing offroad. must lean forward while uphilling. easier & faster.

oh drops.

usually when ure comfortable with it, ur body will auto lean to thee back a bit just to make it a smooth drop. ur legs will play suspension as well in absorbing the impact. smile.gif

and as according to monkey, do not bail right before a drop or gap, ull get hurt! ick!

So.. to do drops... basically you mean must be confidence, shut of the brain... switch to think with balls mode instead? : flex.gif

mental set to climb climb climb is a way too.

when go uphill... i sing/hum... i sing/hum in my head.. or aloud...
for what? so that i wont think about the steep hill in front me..just pedal...pedal...pedal... until " wahhh... i reach top edi arr" hehehehhehe

"just keep peddaling...just keep pedaaling..." like Dory in finding nemo... hehehhehehe

going downhill.....i switch to half brain.. half balls thinking mode... hehehhehehe.....

oh, lean forward helps too!

QUOTE(Broadica @ Feb 26 2009, 01:15 PM)
hmn... i try that... hahaha
i did engage to the gears that i think would bring me up the slope.

however, sometimes even with uneven terrain.. going up is ok.. as long my wheels can roll over them nicely.
the situation when a bigger obstacle are in front... they just break the cadence... that is the time when i stand up and add on some pump to the pedal... but often with narrower track... i get off balance with little room to correct ... that when i fail to pedal up.

4th idea isn't that correct. You CAN die from injury of MTBing. heee.

QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Feb 26 2009, 01:44 PM)
should be compatible smile.gif

just make sure u get ur shifter changed too lol...

and sometimes the chain too...
long, heavy, overkill for a hardtail, not as nice as my durolux tongue.gif laugh.gif
1. Fill up ur iPod with ROCK songs
2. Create a 'Riding' playlist
3. Watch some riding vids before riding to get you pumped up
4. When doing it, think 'If they can do it, why can't i?' and 'I'm not gonna die, why am i so scared?'

so far helped me lots laugh.gif

and not to forget, watch MORE riding videos and analyze how they do the drop/jump or trick to get it dialed in ur mind lol...

you can say that again. i have been in this mtb forum way before NS, and im not listed on the bike specs. haha.

or u can try loudspeaker phones for music. biggrin.gif

QUOTE(iman_210 @ Feb 26 2009, 06:01 PM)
dun think can ride with the earphone on...if road riding ok...imagine dhillling and u got wires around ur neck to ur waist...bit distracted...

XC riding i don't recommend doing listening to music. but DH, it's like a must. haha. it gives u the adrenaline. smile.gif

QUOTE(dickybird @ Feb 26 2009, 06:32 PM)
i dun think riding with earphones is really a good idea. i dun think depriving your ears and brain of the sounds of nature when you are in the hill is good for the soul. and i dun think covering your ears from the sound of traffic and from what is going on around you is good for your health.
but for riding in rocky and sandy areas, a pair of goggles or clear lens shades are handy and look cool (depends on your taste la). raybans like the T1000 also can.

32x16 yup. oh, adding to climbing offroad. must lean forward while uphilling. easier & faster.

oh drops.

usually when ure comfortable with it, ur body will auto lean to thee back a bit just to make it a smooth drop. ur legs will play suspension as well in absorbing the impact. smile.gif

and as according to monkey, do not bail right before a drop or gap, ull get hurt! ick!

I'd like to join Kiara ride.. but I lazy wake up morning leh because weekend best time for me to catch up with lost sleep on school days biggrin.gif I only go petang..

Anyway.. I change bike already.. dumped my Giant XtC Team.. now using a turning 10 yr old bike, which is my dad's but hardly use because he works outstation and comes home every 1-2 months only.

GT Backwoods hardtail w/ Rock Shox SID XC, full XT and very the karat Selle Italia seat.. also front wheel I put a Hayes rotor at the hub.. but no disc brake, decoration only biggrin.gif so now I have a front V-Disc brake haha.. rclxm9.gif

Will send both the Giant and GT to lbs to port my e.Thirteen SuperCharger bashguard, Ritchey WCS bar ends (too lazy), and if can maybe my Truvativ FireX cranks too.. or perhaps buy a Truvatic Hussefelt or HammerSchmidt if got money lol.. also changing to a Funn Rippa short stem.. current stem got no brand or maybe got brand but scratched off..

will post specs+pic soon, so can update. I think I'm having the oldest bike here hmm.gif but it's really good and runs/shifts smooth without noise.. also the RockShox absorbs drops and stair better than my Marzocchi Bomber.. (perhaps the Bomber has reached the end of its life/died or because the RS has longer travel by 75%)
