hi guys,

For some reason, my bike seat keeps getting loose and tilts forward and backward even after I've tightened the nuts on either side.. any ideas how to fix it? I don't mind bringing it down to shop to fix it as well, but how much would it cost usually?

Thanks!

Try to pay for it bah. If not, buy something from him lor. He's running a shop, not charity. Although he may not charge.

Cambium best for me!

I noticed you have an alarm mounted on the seatpost. Is it good? I bought one last year, but on second day I returned it to shop because the battery depleted quickly and leaving the device overburn and stopped working properly. Could be a lemon set though. What is your experience with it?

Also, u mounted it on seatpost? Is it possible for people to quick release your seatpost and throw away with the alarm device?

Hello everyone, *

I'm looking to go from my foldie (a java fit 16) to a road bike.*
Been researching around and narrowed it down to 2 models.*
Merida Scultura 400 @$13xx
Colnago Strada SL 2016 @$1600

My budget is pretty much around $1600.
Main usage will be for weekly exercising and taking part in cycling events.*

I'm probably still going to need to budget for pedals and shoes. *But that's another matter. **

Now I can't decide between the 2. Both 105. But not full groupset. I do like Colnago better because they have a red frame. *Haven't test ride yet but soon I suppose.*

Any opinions which would be better pick? Why? And why not? Thanks

 

[rarenick]

I know nuts about road bike. But i suppose colnago sounds more branded. I go for that

The test ride will probably allow u to decide on which model u wan.. or maybe even none.

I have a SCULTURA 400 2016 but it's my first and only road bike so I can't give any comments on what is good and what is bad.. the bike is nice though.
