HardTail or Full Suspension MTB?
-
my personal opinion if you're gg for mass rides...
u must at least already have a friend inside ah. coz' some of this groups arent really dat friendly. they may look at ur bike and judge you 1st. worse if one of the riders is an owner of a bicycle shop, you'll get persuaded to upgrade bike till u burn a hole in ur pockets.
the same goes for shops. it happens at Tay Cycle.. i go there, the boss shun me and leave me to the workers one. -
agree... the boss of Tay cycles very the SNOB! Argh!!!!!!!Originally posted by sinicker:my personal opinion if you're gg for mass rides...

yup. u experienced it too.. it was way better when they were still the normal, friendly neighbourhood bicycle shop in the 90s. now, they want to specialise and make so high class. den only want those who can afford expensive upgrades. when i was there, i placed my orders with the workers one.Originally posted by markzz:agree... the boss of Tay cycles very the SNOB!

4 year old, but in very good condition before i took over.Originally posted by markzz:For how much? wad bike u riding? XT equipted?
Bought it @ 1.5k
Its a specialized M4 s-works, not a bad deal, free shimano m535 wheels too.
Initially came a mix of lx and xtr components (the cranks and shifter were lx), but a few months ago i got the XT hollowtech II crankset from a kaki and 2002 xtr shifters from another. -
i don't even know the specs for my bike. passed down frm my bro one.

ok guys. i have a question.. i bought the cateye enduro 8 rite..
the magnet and sensor is put on the spoke.
the manual says for a bike wiv tyre 26 x 2.1, wheel circumference is 207cm.
so do i input 207cm? but the sensor and magnet is on the spoke of the wheel wad? -
didn;t Tay cycles fix it for u? I also dunno how it works sia! hehe.. the guy at GHC fixed it for meOriginally posted by sinicker:ok guys. i have a question.. i bought the cateye enduro 8 rite..

He just put and say OK. i bet he didnt check my wheel circumference ah.. anyway yah.. i found out liao. if u put at any point of the spoke, the wheel circumference will still be the same. because any point of the spoke follows the wheel circumference.. alah u get wad i mean lah.Originally posted by markzz:didn;t Tay cycles fix it for u?
