In searching for something new...on local trail from your hometown or half way around the world you have never been...on a mountain bike you can cover a great distance in short period of time...or short distance in a great period of time...they said the journey can be more important than the destination...in mountain biking there's no destination...just a bike, a rider and a place to ride - The Collective ROAM
Been thinking lately since I'm going to stop cycling for a while...I might wanna sale my silver surfer off...what been done to it already reach to RM4k...the spec u can read the info on the below right side of this page...might wanna let it go between RM3.3k-3.5k...but still wanna find a really good reason if I wanna let it go...
sale it coz - my injury - financial problem - no more ride - life is bz lately
not to sale it coz - the frame is 1 n only in Malaysia....rare indeed... - i luv it - memories - custom setup
without saddle n tires
***to Daoh...be patient for what obstacle that PCM encounter...sorry for not been a supporter lately....so pathetic...and I just wanna said...typical Malaysian..."terlalu prihatin hal orang lain...suka ambik tahu hal org lain...tp tak berani nak tunjuk muka"...no wonder we Malaysian so susah nak maju....despited all of this...at least we...the PCM community/supporter do something for our country n nation without getting any profit...unlike u only sitting there, take a ballpen or typing on a keyboard, wrote to newspaper but too shame to show us who r u...shame on u..really shamed...
The simple solution is there already...maybe if it's to difficult for u to think for it...let me refresh ur brain...PCM is to hav enjoyable time and hav fun...if u think it's to dangerous for u...not safe and u can't take the challenge by cycling, don't bother to join us...duduk senyap2x depan pc...if u said later will be an accindent...let me said back..."malang tak berbau"...even if u r sitting in front of ur pc...writing to others that u r so concerned of...suddenly u fall down from ur chair...hit ur head to the table or floor might cause u to be a brain damaged person....
***please ignored about my broken english...maybe later u would like to wrote to the newspaper..."People who do not have perfect English cannot blogging"...bla bla bla...what so ever...
Temporary wrecked...will send the Spinner for repairing the travel adjuster and servicing...
Went outing today instead of go biking...bought a pair of shoes to replace the Admiral...not 661 or Specialized...neither Shimano or 5.10...It's totally much much cheaper than those brand...you won't believe it (thanks to Ober for the info)...It's from Vision Street Wear...should be ok for MTBiking used...the rubber out sole feel quite gripped to the pedal...can wear it for leisure as well...
I borrowed a Vcam from my working lab...going to test it for on board trail cam...attached it with masking tape at the bike frame...I only "lapik" a stocking in between them...later might need to put sponge or what so ever to minimize the vibration...there's a park behind MMU that I think suitable to test run it...the jogging path with some cracking pavement...the starting point nice already on the top...since MMU kind of on a small hill side...

below 1 of the many videos that I try to captured...it's actually in high definition but I encoded it to make the file in small size...so it degrade the quality...please ignore the chain sound...I forgot to tune the FD...and also the buzzing in the video...Spinner Eagle AM in action...
New apparel in my collection...is an OEM from factory..the Specialized Team long sleeve jersey...bought it from Ahmad Folker as they are on sales...the material is comfort and very lite...
Actually the package arrived last week Tuesday at Syawal's...The frame bought from U.S bike shop through internet...the price?? not more than RM 1k....but I didn't have time to pick it up since I hav to prepared for Sabah trip on Thursday...so I leave it there temporarily...while leaving it there Syawal done some wrapping to the frame...thanks bro...When I'm at Sabah...Syawal do send me MMS pictures of it...about some minor scratch during shipment...and mention to me about the things that need to be concerned is the head tube size is 1.5...not like others normal frame which is 1 1/8...
X4 Flyer got bigger head tube
Returned from Sabah on Sunday afternoon...I checked my work schedule the was a free time on Tuesday the next week...so I informed Syawal...he said OK since he's on night shift on that week...I called Mr. Megan...Samy's LBS...asking about 1.5 headset reducer...He said he got it...so I planned my journey for Tuesday...
Samy's LBS
On Tuesday...Wake up as usual...8.50a.m I drove my car to Samy's bike shop...reached there around 10a.m...I called Syawal...which already there at the parking area across the road...He walked to me with the precious frame...there u go...It's already in my possession...nice indeed...the new weapon...if it could be fired...I'll used it to sniped head shot Israel's army one by one...
Snipping the Israel's army
Unload my bike...asking Mr.Megan about the headset...n what the heck!! he said he doesn't have it...I said I called him already...he said no...not him...damned...now I don't have a headset...really pissed off a bit with Samy's...wasting my fuel and toll also my time....-_-"
Syawal try to helped me by calling his fren asking about the 1.5 headset...which is can't be find...His fren asked to go to Bike Pro LBS at KJ...so I have 2 choices now...go there or go to Ah Chun at Tat Seng Kota Kemuning...if at Tat Seng it will be the Da Bomb 1.5 Reducer Head set which will be around RM240...I don't have the budget for that...so I decided to go to Bike Pro instead...thanks Syawal for his helped...many thanks bro...
Bike Pro LBS
Reached in front of Bike Pro around 11.15a.m...still closed...so waited at the parking lot behind the shop...calling them minutes after minutes...until 11.30a.m then someone pickup it...Mr. Boon make some jokes when I'm asking "kedai bukak ke tak today?"...he said "Ini Hantu ka orang jawab...kalau orang...bukak la..." heheheh...so I tell his I'll come...

The swapping process begin
Mr Wong working...
FiuhhH!!! luckily got it...but then another problem occurred...the FSA cup too long for the head tube...the solution...used back the Cane Creek cup...and again luckily all the bearing fitted well...the swapping process complete around 1.45p.m...but then "pening sekejap"...how to put the bike on the rear rack since the frame shaped already changed...It took 10 minutes for me to configured the best way to do...to make sure it's secured safe n won't fall...and then I when back to Cyber...
FSA too long...
Cane Creek cup
