Is the Xtrada's shocks also soft? Thinking whether the Wheeler Pro19 2009 or Merida 40V will be better, but surely more ex..

for me.. after my Astroz was stolen.. i didnt bother going bike shop get locks
i went to DIY shops.. or those hardware shops.. and bought 3 chains.. 2 long 1 medium length.. and 3 locks.. total about 120$(3 locks alone already 90+ lol)

heavy as hell.. but it does scares off the theives
cos i parked it outside bedok mrt(where my Astroz was stolen) left it there for 7 hours.. still intact

and in regards to the Xtrada's shocks.. im not sure myself.. havent actually rode one.. but since i saw someone used it to jump at tampines bike park.. should be hard enough la yep..

U honk them also useless. They will heck care u one. Most important is defensive riding, anticipate their move and situation awareness when riding in heavy traffic.

how loud is one? and where to get?

I don't know about the price of it sold at Carrefour, but my friend got one selling at the same brand bike outlet in the very big supermarket in Tampines which is almost $20 more than the one I got at a LBS. Exactly the same model. Unless they adjusted the price later.

shimano parts all over with judy shocks.. surprising eh...? but so far so goodno problems at all.. bring to tampines bike park trash also nothing happen

surprising expensive. Shimano also got alot of grades one.

 

[timelf]

the air horn is very loud...don't believe place your ear beside and horn. lol

it's so loud that it's only good for emergency use. anyhow horn people/vehicles will be very irritating cos it's almost as loud as car horn.

Component did play a part. U see those good bike, same motion of stroke but different speed.

 

[WuSangui]

Recent weather is very good for commuter like me! Sunny and no rain. Haha..
Unlike last year, su ga su ga will rain and spoil my commuting

I agree with you. Even a change of tires makes a noticeable difference.
