Ya, but fwah, should feel it when it's on your bike! Customers who tried and bought said that it feels like gliding on ice. Coast to a traffic light stop also have to use brakes as it carries speed too well. Moi also kena poisoned liao.

Go for the aluminium one, much lighter in weight. These are all made in china bikes with not much qc. Yes it is possible for such price range. A***** bikes in supermarket selling for less than $100. But of cos, what you pay is what you get.

appreciate any advise! would like to get one this by this weekend

Hi all, i'm using the following drivetrain:

Crankset: Shimano M430 Octa 44-32-22 CG
Cassette: Shimano CS-HG20-9 11-34

Planning to convert the front to single chain ring (either Raceface or Blackspire) + chain guide/guard... can I get any 32 - 36 chain rings? Would I need to change the rear cassette as well?

Or... just need to remove the 1st and 3rd gear and slap on a chain guide/guard?

I need to let go all the air from the rear wheel of my roadbike in order to get air going in. Non of my other wheels needs to do this including the front wheel of the same road bike.

Coz the mass of a bike is not uniformly distributed between the two wheels/tyres. Just locate the respective positions of various components on any bike.

This leads to the rear wheel/tyre shouldering more mass than the front wheel/tyre. Downward pulling force caused by gravitational force leads to the rear tyre experiencing higher pressure. And that alone already makes it more difficult to pump air into the rear tyre.

My RB has a ultra heavier rear too. Which makes it a turtle climber. I am Captain Slow. Hahaha!

 

[FSC]

My pump does not pump for the first few strokes. The first few strokes are very light, with no resistance at all. Only after a few strokes, that the pump begin to push air into the tube. Is this a sign of pump failure?

Coz there is no air either INSIDE the barrel OR the rubber hose from the bottom of the barrel.

My stock setup last time was on triple ring. Changed to RF NW 32t ring up front, and a Wolftooth 42t cog behind (was using a 11-36 cassette though).

So it should work but dunno how strong are you for a 32-34 combo. HTH.

 

[Sadisticnoob]

Maybe theo can pm you the price


I not too sure

But I think the savings is at least enough to book a return air ticket plus a hotel

Most people change one whole shot cause it evens out the wear but you don't need to if yours has low mileage
