No... your wheelset most likely won't allow you to upgrade to >8 speed cuz your 7 cassette is together with your hub. It will be a very expensive upgrade. You have to change wheelset, cassette, chain, derailleur, shifter...

If you keep outspinning on your current bike, you need to upgrade to higher chain ring to increase your gear ratio. Changing to slicker tyres do help to increase rolling speed.

Road crankset are like 50/34. But MTB crankset seldom have this combination due the nature of the riding style.

Pengerang ride

Anyone recently done a Pengerang ride? Heard the old road is close and new route is not safe.

Tyrell fx or Tern Eclipse p20

Hi all,

May I check which one is more suited for road please? I think the tern p20 has an advantage coz of the bigger wheel to maintain speed easier but I also think Tyrell fx is good enough as well.

need advice please.

Thank you.

what is your definition of maintain speed? how fast you talking about? dunno about Tern, the Tyrell on good days can maintain at ~30-36km with ease. The 406 wheelset isn't consider big though =:p
