it depend on taste, soft or hard sotong

 

I prefer to had a soft sotong coz it had more grip on the hotplate(rd) 26:28

why is it called a 'sotong'?

 

i saw in some other threads that the Michelin tyre is also called a 'sotong'..

I was quoted RM130 for 70/80Front and 80/80Rear Dunlop TT900 tires. Reasonable anot? Wanna change to light alloy spoke rim. Saw 2 brands, Mito Japan and Domino spoke rims. Which one is recommended?

 

Also for rear suspension, there are a few brands I have in mind; Mikuku, Sugaya (or something litat la), Moto-R, Yoshimura, KYB and Showa. Abit spoilt for choice. What are the brands you guys normally go for? Thanks!

[pyro13]

mikuku good enuf larh bro...wats ur weight?

[Samicksports]

Where to find Mikuku ah? AGL Ah Boy got anot? Only saw Moto-R, Yoshimura and Sugaya there. I saw quite a number of cub riders using Mikuku. Is it bought in Singapore? I am 70kg. Is there something like the tolerance poundage for the spring like high end bicycle? My bicycle cost more than my bike sia haha!

[pyro13]

den moto r is ok..ur seight is very light mah..just whack the cheapest larh

[Samicksports]

70kg consider light meh? Brand and perfomance wise, can rate from the best to the ok ones of these few brands? Or got other brand which I dunno of? Also if dun mind estimate the price range. Thanks alot!

 

Back to topic. What r the good brand for spoke rims? Saw Mito Japan and Domino ones. Both r very light. Any other brand out there which is good and not so expensive?

[pyro13]

Topic : How big can X1's tyre be?

Description : wat is the ax size a X1 tyre can be?

 

********************************************************************

 

Hi Guys, I love the design of X1, juz the skinny tyres tat makes mi ffel very insecure... haha.. so wondering, has anyone ever change to thicker wheels for X1?

[y0s_bikey]

if u wan thicker wheel u have consider wat size rim u are going to change and wats the clearance u can get from in between the 2 fork as well as the clearance between ur rear wheel and bottom of mudguard...

modding up a bike can b tricky as there is too many factors u need to consider..

[Ashcroftx]

so chim sia!!!

[pyro13]

true yos bikey unless u change fork and swingarm

[Ashcroftx]

may i know wht is the use of downing ur fork?

[RempitburnOut]

[pyro13]
