But a bit too silent. I'm using intercom, barely can hear anything unless it is at full blast. Claimed NNR is 30 dB.<br />Cheap reusable silicone/plastic - just wore this once or twice, the material kinda chafes the ear.<br />Plugfones Motorhead - blocks most of the wind noise. But if your helmet is tight around the ears, tends to move the piece out of the ear. Claimed NNR is 25 dB.<br />Auritech - easy to use, but it seems not as silent as I wanted it to be. I think this could be because of it is a bit small in diameter. Claimed NNR is 24 dB.<br /><br />So, who else wears earplugs and what brand/model/type do you use?<br /><br />Some reading and quote sources:<br /><a href='https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/avoiding-hearing-loss' target='_blank'>https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/avoiding-hearing-loss</a><br /><a href='http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/earplugs/' target='_blank'>http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/earplugs/</a> Cyphereza Biker Base Wed, 07 Jun 2017 09:53:39 +0800 Mountain Biking V31 http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3588557 [center]<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>WELCOME TO MOUNTAIN BIKING HEAVEN V31</span></span><br /><img src='https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/391801_10150417316858182_784628181_8506527_1862981898_n.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><img src='http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3395/img1679sf.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /><br /><img src='https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/399908_10150581530918182_784628181_9062243_1144862533_n.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />[/center]<br /><b><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Tribute to readix, our Gelato Legend!</span></b><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('96a5a2583a3364638cd552e396973e59')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="96a5a2583a3364638cd552e396973e59" style="display:none"><img src='http://i.imgur.com/IaEmu.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /></div><br /><b><span style='color:blue'>GUIDELINES TO MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAIL ETIQUETTE<br /><br />FROM VARIOUS SOURCES IN RELATION TO SHARED TRAILS AND NON BIKE SPECIFIC TRAILS</span></b><br /><br /><span style='color:red'>PERSONAL SAFETY</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-Wear a brain bucket(yes..that's a helmet) whenever you ride<br />-Do not travel into remote areas without informing others<br />-Ride within your capabilities.Ensure that if you want to push your limits,you buddies are around to support you.<br />-Know your bike and bring the necessary/essential spares.</span><br />-No wear helmet also can, lebih kurang like this guy only.<br />[YOUTUBE]U3wULevwuWo[/YOUTUBE]<br /><span style='color:red'>RIGHT OF WAY IN RELATION TO OTHERS(NON RIDERS)</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-Give way to non motorised trail users, i.e. hikers,horse riders,because people judge all cyclist by my actions<br />-Give way to motorised trail users, ie. motor cross bikes etc,because generally we will end up worse off in an accident.<br />-Alert others when approaching.Get a bell, or "Excuse me" works quite well</span><br /><br /><span style='color:red'>RIGHT OF WAY IN RELATION TO OTHER RIDERS</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-Riders have the right of way.If you are pushing your bike,leave the riding line open for others to go past.<br />-Rider up hill has the right of way.<br />-Allow faster riders to past</span><br /><br /><span style='color:red'>SPEED</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-Approach turns and bends in aniticipation that there's someone there<br />-Make your presence known when approaching someone or any turns</span><br /><br /><span style='color:red'>IMPACT ON THE TRAIL</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-Leave the wildlife and fauna alone.Magic mushrooms are bad for you.<br />-Stay on designated trails and avoid destroying vegetation if possible.<br />-Dont't take short cuts over /around technical sections.If you can't ride it,walk it.<br />-Learn how to use your front brakes so that you minimise skidding your rear wheel.If you refuse to learn,then ride only in bike parks where people are afraid to maintain the trails.<br />-Do not litter.Take out whatever you take in.<br />Practise minimal impact riding,take only photos and memories with you</span><br /><br /><span style='color:red'>FUN</span><br /><span style='color:blue'>-You are to have loads of fun,talk lots of cogs,and make good friends on your ride.<br />-Develop sense of humor.Some people say it's good for the soul.</span><br />* Taken from PCC.<br /><br />[center]<img src='http://smokingifs.com/uploads/Samuel-L-Jackson.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />[/center]<br /><br />Advice 1: I want to start cycling, what should I know?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('3818e7cd7e97d96d5cdffe5fbe46c285')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="3818e7cd7e97d96d5cdffe5fbe46c285" style="display:none">Probably someone can stickied similar things like this in front page so that many new comers can get some information on choosing a bike.<br /><br />Here we go.<br /><br />Question to ask yourself before plunging the sport of Mountain Biking<br /><br />1.

Seriously!<br />What you see and read in the internet are just professionals doing it. We might be frighten by AM/Freeride or DH videos in youtube but heck... you'd wish you can do that.<br /><br />In Malaysia... this is the explanation of the term<br /><br />XC - Cross Country<br />Recommended Location --> FRIM, around your house.<br />Type - Cycle up, cycle down, cycle up, cycle down. Trail condition - double track, smooth to small bumps dirt road, gravel or tarmac.<br />Obstacles - Human, small humps.<br /><br />AM - All Mountain<br />Recomendation Location --> Kiara, PCP<br />Type - More technical Cycle up, cycle down, push up, push down. Turn here turn there, drop less than 1 foot hill. Trail condition - Single track, double track, muddy, switchbacks, rocky, slightly bigger bumps.<br />Obstacles - tree branches, roots, rocks, switchbacks.<br /><br />FR - Freeride<br />No Malaysian doing this currently.<br /><br />DH - DownHill<br />Recommendation Location --> Kiara, Bukit Cermin, PCP<br />Type - Push bike up. Come downhill as fast as your balls can take. Not for pussies. TRail condition - Rocky, bigger gap jumps, muddy.<br />Obstacles - Your balls<br /><br />Adding on...<br /><br />What bike to choose ...<br /><br />XC Bikes - can climb better but due to headtub angle design, fork length, you will have less confidence in going downhill.<br />AM bikes - It is in between XC and DH. So, climbing not as good as XC but better downhill confidence. So, you are always not the best in any discipline but you will enjoy almost every trails you come across.<br />DH bikes - You usually push the bike uphill as it is very heavy and headtube angle very big. Although, some DHer can cycle up steep hills better than us. But when downhill, you are quite save and confident, so, in return, u can ride faster.<br /><br />What's the diff in these bikes?<br />XC - Light. AM, Medium weight. DH - Heavy.<br />Durability - Usually XC and AM bike can take most of the abuse from normal bikers in Kiara or PCP or FRIM. Unless you are riding DHer style, then probably your bike's life span will reduce. Other than that, it should be ok. After all, most forumers here change their bike frame or components every few months. Ha! Ha! Ha! Only one exceptional case, every few weeks! <br />No chance to see the component or frame fail.</div><br /><br />Advice 3: Ok, I know I want to do mountain biking, what should I buy and how much?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('2bd130d7afcd5b024cb69bf566e87cc1')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="2bd130d7afcd5b024cb69bf566e87cc1" style="display:none">For new comers.<br /><br />Question - I want to start mountain biking but I donno what bike to buy. Please advise.<br /><br />Answer -<br /><br />First to consider. Budget!<br /><br />Budget below RM1000.00<br />Answer - No need ask. Just get one you think the color suits you. Heck. They are all the same.<br />Choose these: Nexus, Exitway, Rockbike, Lerun and even to the extend Polygon <-- these are not really mountain bikes. Ha! Ha! Ha! icon_rolleyes.gif<br /><br />Budget below RM2000.00<br />At this price range, there are many "branded" bikes to choose from hence making us more confusing.<br />Common brands in Klang Valley. Merida, Fuji, Marin, Raleigh, Norco, BH, Polygon, Giant, Scott, and probably a few more.<br /><br />What are the important things to look for?<br /><br />1. Fork<br />2. rear cassette<br />3. breaks<br /><br />1. Fork from lowest to better fork<br />- SR Suntour (SRS) XCT, SRS XCM, SRS XCR, Rockshox Tora, SRS Epicon.<br />2. Rear cassette<br />At this price range, it doesn't really matter but for mountain bike, ask how many "teeth" the biggest cassette has. Preferably 34T or 32T. This is very important especially for beginner.<br />Having 8 cassette, 7 or 9 cassette doesn't really matter as long as your biggest is biggest! He! He! He!<br />3. Breaks<br />Wihout doubt, hydraulic brakes will be better than mechanical disc breaks and better than V breaks. Just that at lower range product, they all perform almost the same.<br /><br />What is not important?<br /><br />1. Frame design - At this price, all frames probably made by 2 factories. Giant and Merida. Ha! Ha! And it doesn't matter.<br />2. Crank - Many shops will use this as a way of telling you their products better. But at this price range, it really doesn't matter<br />3. Handlebar - You look and you like... get it. Doesn't matter at all.<br />4. Seatpost - Same<br />5. wheelset - No difference one.<br />6. Tires - Preferably branded ones like Maxxis, Tioga, Nevegal, Schwabe, Panaracer. Any other brands - Same.<br />7. Rear Derailluer, Front Derailuer - Again, some use branded gimmick to lure u but it doesn't matter at all.<br /><br />Most important is the front fork. This is the one that determine whether you ride happily or cursing home.<br />Invest in this.<br />If your budget more than 2k, use back the same as above... and look for what you want. If I were to choose, I'll make sure I get the bike with the best fork first before looking at others.</div><br /><br /><a href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/LYNs-Mountain-Bike-Heaven-Ver-1/123920550997119' target='_blank'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b><span style='color:purple'>PLEASE JOIN US ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE</span></b></span></a><br /><br /><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>List of Bike Shops...</span></span><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('96f3efaac281c304a3a3c46a3c92e937')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="96f3efaac281c304a3a3c46a3c92e937" style="display:none"><br /><a href='http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=215563254337019269769.00048a0458ce57834fbe5&z=12' target='_blank'>List of Bicycle Shops round Klang Valley</a><br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><br />--------------------------------------<br />Sen Aik Trading<br />12-1-1 Jalan Setia Prima Q U13/Q<br />Setia Alam, Sek. 13<br />40170 Shah Alam.<br />Tel: 03-33431050 / 0193512118<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Bike Pro Center<br />17 Jln SS23/15 ,<br />Taman SEA, Petaling Jaya<br />Selangor<br />Malaysia<br />47400<br />Telephone: 603 - 7805 1989<br />Fax: 603 - 7803 3995<br /><br />Information: Business Hours<br />Monday - Friday : 11am - 8pm<br />Saturday : 11am - 7pm<br />Sunday : Riding Day!<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Orbea Concept Shop Sdn.

Ha! icon_rolleyes.gif<br /><br />Budget below RM2000.00<br />At this price range, there are many "branded" bikes to choose from hence making us more confusing.<br />Common brands in Klang Valley.

Rear cassette<br />At this price range, it doesn't really matter but for mountain bike, ask how many "teeth" the biggest cassette has. Preferably 34T or 32T. This is very important especially for beginner.<br />Having 8 cassette, 7 or 9 cassette doesn't really matter as long as your biggest is biggest! He! He! He!<br />3.

What kinda activity I want to join?<br />Choices<br />a) Ride around my taman<br />b) Ride to school and buy groceries<br />c) Join friends and go biking in some cross country tracks. e.g. offroad road for cars. e.g. Kelapa Sawit plantation area (where usually cars can come in but need to slow down)<br />d) Offroad with a bit of climbing, and downhill, narrow paths (cars can't come in), a bit of drop or uneven trail<br />e) Fast, furious downhill with jumps and extreme cornering<br /><br />After choosing 1 from the above, then the next thing you need to consider...<br /><br />a) Budget<br />b) Budget<br />c) Budget<br /><br />Ha! Ha! Ha!<br /><br />For Question 1)<br />If you choose a) b) or even c)<br />A bike ranging from RM1500 and below is acceptable. Even bike RM700 and below will still be acceptable.<br /><br />For d)<br />Try to fork out at least RM2k and above. Preferably RM4k.<br />Anything less, you most probably will end up hating yourself for making harsh decision or you will change your bike/accessories the next round.<br /><br />For e)<br />You need RM5k minimum or preferably RM20k to start. Ha! Ha!<br />And you need bigger balls.<br /><br />Of all the above<br />You will still need around RM100 minimum to buy helmet, gloves, water battle or hydration bag.<br />Preferably spend RM300 minimum to get some quality goods.<br />For info, a branded helmet will cost RM200+, a branded gloves will cost RM70 and up, a branded hydration bag wll cost around RM150 and above... usually RM200 above.<br /><br />If wanna join us for weekend rides or some night rides, just let us know. We will be more than glad to assist. After you get your bike and helmet that is! </div><br /><br />Advice 2: What the hell is Roadie, XC, AM, FR, DH?!?!<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('2462597c5090e61fcdaf348763a0a0ca')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="2462597c5090e61fcdaf348763a0a0ca" style="display:none">If u have not been riding MTBs before this... you won't know what u will like. Seriously!<br />What you see and read in the internet are just professionals doing it. We might be frighten by AM/Freeride or DH videos in youtube but heck... you'd wish you can do that.<br /><br />In Malaysia... this is the explanation of the term<br /><br />XC - Cross Country<br />Recommended Location --> FRIM, around your house.<br />Type - Cycle up, cycle down, cycle up, cycle down. Trail condition - double track, smooth to small bumps dirt road, gravel or tarmac.<br />Obstacles - Human, small humps.<br /><br />AM - All Mountain<br />Recomendation Location --> Kiara, PCP<br />Type - More technical Cycle up, cycle down, push up, push down. Turn here turn there, drop less than 1 foot hill. Trail condition - Single track, double track, muddy, switchbacks, rocky, slightly bigger bumps.<br />Obstacles - tree branches, roots, rocks, switchbacks.<br /><br />FR - Freeride<br />No Malaysian doing this currently.<br /><br />DH - DownHill<br />Recommendation Location --> Kiara, Bukit Cermin, PCP<br />Type - Push bike up. Come downhill as fast as your balls can take. Not for pussies. TRail condition - Rocky, bigger gap jumps, muddy.<br />Obstacles - Your balls<br /><br />Adding on...<br /><br />What bike to choose ...<br /><br />XC Bikes - can climb better but due to headtub angle design, fork length, you will have less confidence in going downhill.<br />AM bikes - It is in between XC and DH. So, climbing not as good as XC but better downhill confidence. So, you are always not the best in any discipline but you will enjoy almost every trails you come across.<br />DH bikes - You usually push the bike uphill as it is very heavy and headtube angle very big. Although, some DHer can cycle up steep hills better than us. But when downhill, you are quite save and confident, so, in return, u can ride faster.<br /><br />What's the diff in these bikes?<br />XC - Light. AM, Medium weight. DH - Heavy.<br />Durability - Usually XC and AM bike can take most of the abuse from normal bikers in Kiara or PCP or FRIM. Unless you are riding DHer style, then probably your bike's life span will reduce. Other than that, it should be ok. After all, most forumers here change their bike frame or components every few months. Ha! Ha! Ha! Only one exceptional case, every few weeks! <br />No chance to see the component or frame fail.</div><br /><br />Advice 3: Ok, I know I want to do mountain biking, what should I buy and how much?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('121ba0059b9026f34306cc9c37e29eb6')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="121ba0059b9026f34306cc9c37e29eb6" style="display:none">For new comers.<br /><br />Question - I want to start mountain biking but I donno what bike to buy. Please advise.<br /><br />Answer -<br /><br />First to consider. Budget!<br /><br />Budget below RM1000.00<br />Answer - No need ask. Just get one you think the color suits you. Heck. They are all the same.<br />Choose these: Nexus, Exitway, Rockbike, Lerun and even to the extend Polygon <-- these are not really mountain bikes. Ha! Ha! Ha! icon_rolleyes.gif<br /><br />Budget below RM2000.00<br />At this price range, there are many "branded" bikes to choose from hence making us more confusing.<br />Common brands in Klang Valley. Merida, Fuji, Marin, Raleigh, Norco, BH, Polygon, Giant, Scott, and probably a few more.<br /><br />What are the important things to look for?<br /><br />1. Fork<br />2. rear cassette<br />3. breaks<br /><br />1. Fork from lowest to better fork<br />- SR Suntour (SRS) XCT, SRS XCM, SRS XCR, Rockshox Tora, SRS Epicon.<br />2. Rear cassette<br />At this price range, it doesn't really matter but for mountain bike, ask how many "teeth" the biggest cassette has. Preferably 34T or 32T. This is very important especially for beginner.<br />Having 8 cassette, 7 or 9 cassette doesn't really matter as long as your biggest is biggest! He! He! He!<br />3. Breaks<br />Wihout doubt, hydraulic brakes will be better than mechanical disc breaks and better than V breaks. Just that at lower range product, they all perform almost the same.<br /><br />What is not important?<br /><br />1. Frame design - At this price, all frames probably made by 2 factories. Giant and Merida. Ha! Ha! And it doesn't matter.<br />2. Crank - Many shops will use this as a way of telling you their products better. But at this price range, it really doesn't matter<br />3. Handlebar - You look and you like... get it. Doesn't matter at all.<br />4. Seatpost - Same<br />5. wheelset - No difference one.<br />6. Tires - Preferably branded ones like Maxxis, Tioga, Nevegal, Schwabe, Panaracer. Any other brands - Same.<br />7. Rear Derailluer, Front Derailuer - Again, some use branded gimmick to lure u but it doesn't matter at all.<br /><br />Most important is the front fork. This is the one that determine whether you ride happily or cursing home.<br />Invest in this.<br />If your budget more than 2k, use back the same as above... and look for what you want. If I were to choose, I'll make sure I get the bike with the best fork first before looking at others.</div><br /><br /><a href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/LYNs-Mountain-Bike-Heaven-Ver-1/123920550997119' target='_blank'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b><span style='color:purple'>PLEASE JOIN US ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE</span></b></span></a><br /><br /><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>List of Bike Shops...</span></span><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('f0d595b61e709ecf556bea664b315d68')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="f0d595b61e709ecf556bea664b315d68" style="display:none"><br /><a href='http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=215563254337019269769.00048a0458ce57834fbe5&z=12' target='_blank'>List of Bicycle Shops round Klang Valley</a><br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><br />--------------------------------------<br />Sen Aik Trading<br />12-1-1 Jalan Setia Prima Q U13/Q<br />Setia Alam, Sek. 13<br />40170 Shah Alam.<br />Tel: 03-33431050 / 0193512118<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Bike Pro Center<br />17 Jln SS23/15 ,<br />Taman SEA, Petaling Jaya<br />Selangor<br />Malaysia<br />47400<br />Telephone: 603 - 7805 1989<br />Fax: 603 - 7803 3995<br /><br />Information: Business Hours<br />Monday - Friday : 11am - 8pm<br />Saturday : 11am - 7pm<br />Sunday : Riding Day!<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Orbea Concept Shop Sdn.

What kinda activity I want to join?<br />Choices<br />a) Ride around my taman<br />b) Ride to school and buy groceries<br />c) Join friends and go biking in some cross country tracks. e.g. offroad road for cars. e.g. Kelapa Sawit plantation area (where usually cars can come in but need to slow down)<br />d) Offroad with a bit of climbing, and downhill, narrow paths (cars can't come in), a bit of drop or uneven trail<br />e) Fast, furious downhill with jumps and extreme cornering<br /><br />After choosing 1 from the above, then the next thing you need to consider...<br /><br />a) Budget<br />b) Budget<br />c) Budget<br /><br />Ha! Ha! Ha!<br /><br />For Question 1)<br />If you choose a) b) or even c)<br />A bike ranging from RM1500 and below is acceptable. Even bike RM700 and below will still be acceptable.<br /><br />For d)<br />Try to fork out at least RM2k and above. Preferably RM4k.<br />Anything less, you most probably will end up hating yourself for making harsh decision or you will change your bike/accessories the next round.<br /><br />For e)<br />You need RM5k minimum or preferably RM20k to start. Ha! Ha!<br />And you need bigger balls.<br /><br />Of all the above<br />You will still need around RM100 minimum to buy helmet, gloves, water battle or hydration bag.<br />Preferably spend RM300 minimum to get some quality goods.<br />For info, a branded helmet will cost RM200+, a branded gloves will cost RM70 and up, a branded hydration bag wll cost around RM150 and above... usually RM200 above.<br /><br />If wanna join us for weekend rides or some night rides, just let us know.

Seriously!<br />What you see and read in the internet are just professionals doing it. We might be frighten by AM/Freeride or DH videos in youtube but heck... you'd wish you can do that.<br /><br />In Malaysia... this is the explanation of the term<br /><br />XC - Cross Country<br />Recommended Location --> FRIM, around your house.<br />Type - Cycle up, cycle down, cycle up, cycle down. Trail condition - double track, smooth to small bumps dirt road, gravel or tarmac.<br />Obstacles - Human, small humps.<br /><br />AM - All Mountain<br />Recomendation Location --> Kiara, PCP<br />Type - More technical Cycle up, cycle down, push up, push down. Turn here turn there, drop less than 1 foot hill. Trail condition - Single track, double track, muddy, switchbacks, rocky, slightly bigger bumps.<br />Obstacles - tree branches, roots, rocks, switchbacks.<br /><br />FR - Freeride<br />No Malaysian doing this currently.<br /><br />DH - DownHill<br />Recommendation Location --> Kiara, Bukit Cermin, PCP<br />Type - Push bike up. Come downhill as fast as your balls can take. Not for pussies. TRail condition - Rocky, bigger gap jumps, muddy.<br />Obstacles - Your balls<br /><br />Adding on...<br /><br />What bike to choose ...<br /><br />XC Bikes - can climb better but due to headtub angle design, fork length, you will have less confidence in going downhill.<br />AM bikes - It is in between XC and DH. So, climbing not as good as XC but better downhill confidence. So, you are always not the best in any discipline but you will enjoy almost every trails you come across.<br />DH bikes - You usually push the bike uphill as it is very heavy and headtube angle very big. Although, some DHer can cycle up steep hills better than us. But when downhill, you are quite save and confident, so, in return, u can ride faster.<br /><br />What's the diff in these bikes?<br />XC - Light. AM, Medium weight. DH - Heavy.<br />Durability - Usually XC and AM bike can take most of the abuse from normal bikers in Kiara or PCP or FRIM. Unless you are riding DHer style, then probably your bike's life span will reduce. Other than that, it should be ok. After all, most forumers here change their bike frame or components every few months. Ha! Ha! Ha! Only one exceptional case, every few weeks! <br />No chance to see the component or frame fail.</div><br /><br />Advice 3: Ok, I know I want to do mountain biking, what should I buy and how much?<br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('fea10263ae64af6d0afe95e81505b9c9')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="fea10263ae64af6d0afe95e81505b9c9" style="display:none">For new comers.<br /><br />Question - I want to start mountain biking but I donno what bike to buy. Please advise.<br /><br />Answer -<br /><br />First to consider. Budget!<br /><br />Budget below RM1000.00<br />Answer - No need ask. Just get one you think the color suits you. Heck. They are all the same.<br />Choose these: Nexus, Exitway, Rockbike, Lerun and even to the extend Polygon <-- these are not really mountain bikes. Ha! Ha! Ha! icon_rolleyes.gif<br /><br />Budget below RM2000.00<br />At this price range, there are many "branded" bikes to choose from hence making us more confusing.<br />Common brands in Klang Valley. Merida, Fuji, Marin, Raleigh, Norco, BH, Polygon, Giant, Scott, and probably a few more.<br /><br />What are the important things to look for?<br /><br />1. Fork<br />2. rear cassette<br />3. breaks<br /><br />1. Fork from lowest to better fork<br />- SR Suntour (SRS) XCT, SRS XCM, SRS XCR, Rockshox Tora, SRS Epicon.<br />2. Rear cassette<br />At this price range, it doesn't really matter but for mountain bike, ask how many "teeth" the biggest cassette has. Preferably 34T or 32T. This is very important especially for beginner.<br />Having 8 cassette, 7 or 9 cassette doesn't really matter as long as your biggest is biggest! He! He! He!<br />3. Breaks<br />Wihout doubt, hydraulic brakes will be better than mechanical disc breaks and better than V breaks. Just that at lower range product, they all perform almost the same.<br /><br />What is not important?<br /><br />1. Frame design - At this price, all frames probably made by 2 factories. Giant and Merida. Ha! Ha! And it doesn't matter.<br />2. Crank - Many shops will use this as a way of telling you their products better. But at this price range, it really doesn't matter<br />3. Handlebar - You look and you like... get it. Doesn't matter at all.<br />4. Seatpost - Same<br />5. wheelset - No difference one.<br />6. Tires - Preferably branded ones like Maxxis, Tioga, Nevegal, Schwabe, Panaracer. Any other brands - Same.<br />7. Rear Derailluer, Front Derailuer - Again, some use branded gimmick to lure u but it doesn't matter at all.<br /><br />Most important is the front fork. This is the one that determine whether you ride happily or cursing home.<br />Invest in this.<br />If your budget more than 2k, use back the same as above... and look for what you want. If I were to choose, I'll make sure I get the bike with the best fork first before looking at others.</div><br /><br /><a href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/LYNs-Mountain-Bike-Heaven-Ver-1/123920550997119' target='_blank'><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><b><span style='color:purple'>PLEASE JOIN US ON OUR FACEBOOK PAGE</span></b></span></a><br /><br /><span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>List of Bike Shops...</span></span><br /><div class="spoilertop" onClick="openClose('183d994a05d9148acdee6e0e0eda468f')" style="font-weight: bold"><u>» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «</u></div><div class="spoilermain" id="183d994a05d9148acdee6e0e0eda468f" style="display:none"><br /><a href='http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=215563254337019269769.00048a0458ce57834fbe5&z=12' target='_blank'>List of Bicycle Shops round Klang Valley</a><br /><br /><span style='color:blue'><br />--------------------------------------<br />Sen Aik Trading<br />12-1-1 Jalan Setia Prima Q U13/Q<br />Setia Alam, Sek. 13<br />40170 Shah Alam.<br />Tel: 03-33431050 / 0193512118<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Bike Pro Center<br />17 Jln SS23/15 ,<br />Taman SEA, Petaling Jaya<br />Selangor<br />Malaysia<br />47400<br />Telephone: 603 - 7805 1989<br />Fax: 603 - 7803 3995<br /><br />Information: Business Hours<br />Monday - Friday : 11am - 8pm<br />Saturday : 11am - 7pm<br />Sunday : Riding Day!<br /><br />--------------------------------------<br />Orbea Concept Shop Sdn.

I can't find the properties and using <b>setMinimumSize(new Dimension(640,480));</b> doesn't seem to help either (like it does nothing).<br />The frame size is not restored when it is reopened (after closing down the application). Instead the last size is used.<br />All I need is to actually make the minimum size of the frame.<br /><br />The API isn't much help. Is there some code I don't know of (of course there is but then this should be simple)?<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br />p/s: A newbie to Netbeans 6.0.1<br /><br />edited:<br />Okay, now I know where I should put the setMinimumSize thingee.<br />For those who need the answers, you should place it in the Java source which extends SingleFrameApplication at function configureWindow(java.awt.Window root).

If anyone is wondering how...<br /><br />To manipulate the ArrayOfAnyType just use<br /><br />ws.getNameByFame() returns <b>ArrayOfAnyType</b><br /><br /><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'>ArrayList AAL = new ArrayList();<br />AAL.AddRange((ws.getNameByFame() as Array));<br /><br />labelTest.Text = AAL[0].ToString();<br />.<br />. or if it's nested into another array<br />.<br />labelTest.Text = (AAL[0] as Array).GetValue(0).ToString();<br /></div> Cyphereza Codemasters Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:07:00 +0800 Golden Key http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/349263 Hi, first of all, any of you forumers know anything about Golden Key Honour Society?<br /><br />From what I know, you can't simply grab a form and join. It is by invitation only. And to get the invitation, you need to excel in your studies. Only the best 15% students (in any university which is associated with GoldenKey, I think) will be chosen. And it's an international NGO and not-for profit society.<br /><br />What do they do? And if I am a member, what do I need to do? Do I have to attend courses or examinations or what?<br /><br />I really want to know what are the benefits and purposes of joining Golden Key Honour Society? (I mean, besides getting scholarships and making new contacts)<br /><br />Has anyone lucky (or should I say good) enough to join them? If yes, what do you think of the society? Please, share your experience.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br /><a href='http://www.goldenkey.org' target='_blank'>http://www.goldenkey.org</a><br /><a href='http://www.goldenkey.org.my' target='_blank'>http://www.goldenkey.org.my</a> Cyphereza Education Essentials Wed, 04 Oct 2006 20:15:18 +0800 Links to tutorials & resources (Refer here first!) http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/36679 Welcome to the <b>Art and Design forum</b>...<br />To start the forum, heres a few link I would like to share with you people!<br /><br /><span style='font-size:21pt;line-height:100%'><span style='color:red'>Please post only links and small description of the link.
