hi guys , can recommend a good headset and stem ? (chris king are abit too costly man)

 

[adslboi]

Yeah definitely...where ur normally ride to ?

taking up this hobby recently so i don frequently ride. If u stay west maybe u can guide mi along?

 

[adslboi]

give lnt at tampines a call, i think i saw some GT's there also. Joo chait, got 1 shop selling gt bikes , but prices i not so sure.

well for the internet specs, some times what specs that singapore GT has is slightly different. for instance the 06 version, the gave DEORE instead of the LX stated at GT website. best is to ask LBS. hope this helps. Crashed my bike a few times, still not a dENt.

Sorrie to ask, wat is LBS ?

 

[adslboi]

LOL am still learning.. Diff websites probably have diff specs as the manufacturer specs have diff parts installed on their bikes for diff parts of the world.

You'd probably be safe with a Dart 3, both are basic forks, but I'd prefer a Rock Shox over a Suntour anytime.

do u noe wat is the retail price of a dart3 ?

i think some page back, pew old his dart 3 for 70 bux. brand new i think would be around 200+ ? if u going to get a Dart 3 fork, i'd rather u save a lil more and chiong a Tora 318. very descent fork.

BT w/o helmet welly dangerous

 

[oyebto]

riding with a helmet is more dangerous.

read somewhere tat when u wear helmet, motorists feel u are more exp in cycling so they drive closer to u
however if u dun wear they would feel u are reckless and tend to keep their distance so its safer.
