Is the Xtrada's shocks also soft? Thinking whether the Wheeler Pro19 2009 or Merida 40V will be better, but surely more ex.. :o

for me.. after my Astroz was stolen.. i didnt bother going bike shop get locks
i went to DIY shops.. or those hardware shops.. and bought 3 chains.. 2 long 1 medium length.. and 3 locks.. total about 120$(3 locks alone already 90+ lol)

heavy as hell.. but it does scares off the theives
cos i parked it outside bedok mrt(where my Astroz was stolen) left it there for 7 hours.. still intact :D

and in regards to the Xtrada's shocks.. im not sure myself.. havent actually rode one.. but since i saw someone used it to jump at tampines bike park.. should be hard enough la yep.. :D

If u really want to get one. Carrefour have but the air bottle is damm big.

I don't know about the price of it sold at Carrefour, but my friend got one selling at the same brand bike outlet in the very big supermarket in Tampines which is almost $20 more than the one I got at a LBS. Exactly the same model. Unless they adjusted the price later.

the air horn is very loud...don't believe place your ear beside and horn. lol

it's so loud that it's only good for emergency use. anyhow horn people/vehicles will be very irritating cos it's almost as loud as car horn.
