I have a Giant MTB that has been kept for a while. Took it out for a spin recently and found out that the suspension is not moving (e.g. doesn't depress when I am going off the kerb). Is that normal? Is it worth sending for servicing to repair it? I think it's a non-adjustable suspension because I don't see any knobs. Help appreciated.

Probably no more air. Need to get shock pump to pump it up.

Mountain bike question.

But rear cogs is nine speed. If I upgrade front derailer, can I upgrade to 10 speed front derailer or best performance is old 9 speed derailer?

hi guys. I just received my brake cables from crc. tried to replace it, however, realised that it's very difficult to cut the brake cables.

Is there an easier way to cut the brake cables or must I use the dedicated brake cable cutter by park tool?

It just happen that I had part of my route intersect with the bike rally route between Yishun Dam and Punggol End. Like that not considered gate crashing right?

nah, i rode my own "bike rally" from hougang/pasir ris/loyang/coastal all the way to the west, hoping to intercept the bike rally train for a free draft, no train came...

in the end only 6 of us grouped up at a traffic light in Tuas, si beh sian.

i saw my friend and followed him to NTU by catching the train that just left Raffles Marina, then I slack at NTU and didnt see anymore trains.

I recognise those 2 Neil Pryde bikes, i think i saw your group leave with that car at Raffles Marina.

I caught the 2nd grp with my friend, the car had no bikes on it, just the seasucker bike clamps.
