Do we have to pay to enter Sentosa via boardwalk?

Used to be free last year SG50. Now no more. 1-2 dollar per entry.

so far, never have to pay.. once on the road, twice via the boardwalk. You should go early to avoid the crowd.

I have this bike for sale.

 

[rarenick]

hmm.. u got a chain stay?



change everything to 105, best value for money component. (Provided your hub is compatible) But then I think just sell away the bike and get a new bike easier and less stressful

No chain stay.

Probably can consider everything 105. But 105 don't have flat bar shifter right?

And new foldie don't have 105 right?

If going 10s then can consider Tiagra SL-4600, if not then Sora shifters for 9s..

I see mtb has some 10 speed shifters on crc

If you want smoothness just pair everything up with the same model

Any risk to mix an xt shifter with 105? Might as well zee rd and zee shifter if changing to 10 speed cassette?

Technically , it should work but like I said if you want perfect compatibility you sure used a 105 shifters with 105 derailleur

If you scared not shifting well just use zee derailleur and shifters

Best would be road rd with road shifter and mtb rd with it's shifter ..

Mini velo.. not that difficult cause when drafting you're using something like 30% less energy meaning its the speed you cruise around at 28kph or so.only thing sad is that my chain came off because I was using the extremes ends of the cassette so with my new upgrades hopefully won't need to use extreme ends

Road bike normally will be a bit faster around 33 35 kph average

When I draft behind road bikes, i can roll about 30kmh easily over whole stretch of west coast road but to get an average speed of 28kmh means you need to roll at least 35-36kmh.

what bike was that?

When buying used groupset for drivetrain without crankset, what are the things to check with other party and what / how to examine the items?

Am also considering new components from CRC. Not sure whether to change the existing chainring.

SadisticNoob, do we save a lot when we buying together in bulk? Have to factor in GST?

check to make sure the components are correctly/accurate from the ads? check for scratches (if it brand new then it shouldnt have any scratches or sign of usage).

getting components from online is definitely cheaper, even if u include the tax and even if you are unlucky to get tax for gst.

CRC have regular free shipping or free shipping above 130 pounds. Do compare prices among the different online stores, CRC may not be always the cheapest place.
