I see..my stem is the quick release kind, the clamp cannot be too tight as well? so far cannot find any reviews for the litepro carbon though

Thanks for the suggestion! It looks good too. will find time to go and have a look around. Working the entire CNY..

Oops sorry, I meant that my handlepost is a quick release one. Do I have to take care not to clamp too tightly for a carbon handlebar as well? In case of cracking it.

I looked up on the fabric scoop already. The red and black colour model suits my bike. May I know what's the pricing for it?

I think for anything carbon, try not to clamp too hard.

I got the cromo rail version from cannasia for $95. later on got a carbon rail version online. the cromo rail version is good enough.

Like I said lo , I clean cause I wanna change to the dry lube.

I guess I'll be riding less during rainy days after learning about cleaning. Haha.

Birdyyyy~~

Is the cambium as slippery as the B17? Since the surface is dotted should have better friction.
