9 speed la. Change to shorter stem for stuns
Hmm i need some advise on a a guy getting a ladies frame bike.
I found a bike i really like - GTw Avalanche 3.0 09 Model [XS] size. The size is perfect for me just that it's a ladies frame. I am a 1.62m tall guy who is small built. I'm about 50kg only. What are things to test for to see whether the frame is suitable for me?
Yup i really like the frame and the upgrades that the owner is willing to let go together in the bundle, but the only thing holding me back is the frame. So do you guys have any input on this?
Thanks so much.
i tried it. the frame seems to fit me. when i straddle it there is about 2-3 inches clearance. when seated, and when my foot is on the lowest part of the paddle, my knee is fully extended. so it seems to be the correct size. but i'm not sure about the geometry of a women's frame. whether it'll be suitable.
since u mentioned u tried, did u feel that u were over arcing the handle bar?
no its M951 not M952.. i noe M952 is 9 spd.. but M951?? no info one leh
wah knn.. just spent 1 hr doing trackstand.. abit of wheelie also.. do until my palm pain liao.. so hard to keep balance.. i tried bunny hop but like mind ****.. cant coordinate the movement.. the front cannot lift high enough also the back totally like stick to the grd..
i noe how to hop 2 wheels off the grd like for 3 inch? but bunny hop ish rike another league

wat? dun learn with flat dun learn with clipless? then learn with no pedals?you learning on platform or clipless? dont learn with clipless, no use.
dont learn on flat. try a very low kerb. maybe half the height of normal kerb and try
if you learning on xc bike, start from street bike if you can borrow or what. alot easier
any buttie here got suggestion how to touch up small scratches for a matt finish bike.
I know TheoDR suggested using nail polish but i am not sure do they have matt finish type of nail polish xD
wat? dun learn with flat dun learn with clipless? then learn with no pedals?
i using platform.. no street bike to borrow rah~
lol yes i agree with u but should i touch up to prevent it from rusting since it could be exposed to air now?The first scratch is the most painful, don't worry about it. After a few scratches, u wont bother anymore.
If u don't want scratches, dont ride the bike
