The Shimano Di2 Electric bike shiffter the paradoxically
The Shimano Di2 derailleur on this $10,000 Merida Scultura 909 road-racer automatically eases you into that next gear. Now shipping on select bicycles, the Di2 system features a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery (lasting 1,000 kilometers or 621 miles) powering an integrated CPU that monitors and adjusts the front and rear derailleurs to keep them perfectly trimmed. The system allows you to shift 30% faster (as fast as you can move your finger) than with mechanical derailleurs -- even under load while cycling out of the saddle. Great for pros (we guess).

Kayuhan ke Putrajaya. 14 March 2009,10:00AM
My "Katak Pisang". Aku tak leh nak citer banyak sebab mata da bengkak. tak
larat tengok monitor lama. Rasa berair je (Jangan pikir lain plak).
Diatas permintaan Farizal. Saya uploadkan gambo kayuhan bersama-
sama ke putrajaya.Sorry akob and Kamil.. hari minggu (150309) tak
dapat kayuh bersama.
InsyaAllah. minggu depan gi Putrajaya sekali lagi.
Kayuhan pada pukul 10 pagi selepas hujan berhenti (sempat
lagi pekene teh tarik dan roti canai).
Ambik Gambo basikal sebelum beraksi.
Jejaka idaman opis. (Gamba berlatar belakangkan menara keris dan tasik Putrajaya)
Berjaya mengelak halangan. tak mencabar langsung mamat nie.hehehe
Aksi bersahaja.. ada gaya la.
Kawan aku sorang nie tengah pikir nak bina masjid kot.
Kayuhan kami tamat pada pukul 11:30am sebab matahari pun dah naik. perut da lapar dan kene gie opis masing2 sebab ada tugasan harus di selesai kan.Jadi kami pun beransur pulang.
Terima kasih daun keladi esok hari kita kayuh lagi.

Skills and Tips #2
Basics Of Better Balance
Get your balance into top form.
Get your balance into top form.
Think of the most challenging part of your favorite trail, something you'd describe as technical, sketchy or loose. Now think about tackling that same section confidently--and making it look easy. You can. The skill you need to work on? Balance.
Balance is at the heart of everything you do when you ride (short of crashing, that is). Unfortunately, many of us haven't focused on improving our balance since the day we ditched our training wheels. And our riding suffers because of it.
"When your balance is in top form, you're more comfortable on the bike, which improves your efficiency," says expert. "It makes everything else easier and more enjoyable."
Fortunately, building better balance is something that's best done on the bike. Set time aside on each ride to practice the following exercises from Golich to boost your stability big time.
The Warm-UpAt the start of each ride, take a few minutes to move around the cockpit: Get your weight back as far as you can, above the rear wheel, then move your weight forward, then to the sides, then low on the bike. By exploring these extremes in a controlled setting, you'll be more comfortable with them in the heat of the moment.
Slow RideRide as slowly as you possibly can--get right to that "I'm going to topple over" point and focus on moving around to stay upright. When you're comfortable with this, pick a line (a piece of curbing in the parking lot, a log or board on the trail) and ride along it, as slowly as possible. Then do it again, and go even slower.
Stand StillWhen you stop on the trail (to wait for your buddies, take a breather, etc.), don't put a foot down. Instead, practice your trackstand--stay upright and still, keeping pressure on the pedals with the brakes applied to control movement. Hint: All of these drills are easier with flat pedals.
Skills and Tips #1
Night Moves
Know how to use your lights and ride through the night.
Set Your Light RightThe ideal light setup combines a helmet-mounted spotlight and a bar-mounted unit with a broad-coverage beam. But if you can afford only one, a helmet-mounted light is better because it directs the light where you are looking. Mount it close to the center-top of your helmet. "The higher you put it, the more stable it's going to be," says expert, "which means it won't fatigue your neck as much over the course of the ride.
"Look Where You Want to GoYour light--like your bike--is going to follow your eyes, so look ahead, not down. "Your helmet light should be aimed at least eight feet ahead," says expert. The final adjustments depend on the condition of the trail you're riding--which you should plan for well in advance. A first-timer? Stick to a trail you know like the back of your hand so you can test your night vision on known obstacles and corners.
Lights and Arm Warmers Go TogetherA good cold wheater rule: If you need lights to ride, wear arm warmers. "Temperatures can fall rapidly at night," says expert. "And when you're shivering you burn more calories--and on a ride every calorie counts." Hendershot sticks with arm warmers because they're easy to remove, but in the fall, leg warmers and a vest aren't a bad idea, either. Keep Your Perspective Artificial light sources create shadows that skew your perspective on obstacles. Two keys to success in technical situations: knowing about the weird shadows, and saving your highest light-output setting for when things get rough. "The switch to high will give you more confidence," says Hendershot. "You'll think, 'This is great!' even if the difference is minimal.
" Be Confident--and Day Dream night riding success comes down to confidence and a good attitude. "If you think you can do it, then you'll do it," says expert. "That's the most important thing. You need to stay positive and think about fun things. I think about sex and tattoo designs (think positive). For me, that just works." InsyaAllah.

History MTB
Cross Country (XC)
Cross Country is (by far) the most common form of mountain biking. Cross country terrain typically is considered as having as many, or more, ascents than descents and does not include any kind of stunt riding. Mountain bikes tend to have only a small amount of suspension travel (usually 80-100 mm) on the front and/or rear, and are fairly light. This is achieved via the use of lightweight materials in both frame construction and components. As a consequence of their lightweight material they are often weaker than other bikes.
Suspension, both front and rear, is typically provided by pneumatic (air) shocks and forks, which saves weight. Some XC bike models have no suspension at all and use a rigid front fork, saving weight and relying more on rider skill to negotiate rough terrain. XC bikes are often as light as 20 pounds (9 kg), or as heavy as 30 pounds (14 kg). XC riding is one of the more common types of riding and in its extreme form can be entirely uphill, hence the lightweight rigs.
Enduro / All-Mountain (AM)
Enduro bikes are generally heavier than XC bikes, typically weighing between 30 and 35 pounds (14 to 16 kg). These bikes tend to feature greater suspension travel, often as much as 150 mm of front and rear travel, which can be adjustable on newer mid and top range bikes. Enduro bikes are effective on technical downhill trails. The frame angles are typically steeper than those found in downhill bikes. This enhances maneuverability over and around small objects. These bikes are designed to be able to ascend and descend mountains, integrating the climbing abilities of XC bikes with the suspension technology of freeride bikes.
Freeride (FR)
Freeride mountain biking requires heavier-duty bikes to perform jumps, drops and technical features. Though freeride bikes are typically heavier than cross country bikes, they are lighter than downhill bikes to allow the rider to complete difficult climbs.
Freeride mountain bikes are similar to Enduro bikes, but with less emphasis on weight and better suspension. Freeride bikes tend to have ample suspension, with eight or more inches of travel fairly commonplace. The components are built from stronger (and consequently heavier) materials.
Freeride bikes are designed to be more versatile than any other bike. They are somewhat capable of being ridden uphill; however, their moderately steep head tube angles make them difficult to maneuver while angled uphill or traveling at a low rate of speed.
Freeride bikes typically range in weight from 30 to 45 pounds. Freeride biking usually includes some degree of natural terrain stunts such as hucking (ramping) and is usually more comprised of downhills and stunts, with uphill travel usually for the purpose of reaching this terrain, hence the necessity for a freeride bike to be able to travel uphill somewhat efficiently.
The most durable (and expensive) freeride bikes are designed almost solely for hucking and are incapable of any comfortable level of uphill travel. It is common for freeriders to frequent lift accessed riding terrain, offered at ski resorts during the off season, or simply walk their bikes uphill.
North Shore
North Shore is a subset of Freeride biking. North shore biking includes man made elevated bridges. North shore biking often includes extremely technical terrain including jumps and drops.
North shore mountain biking originated in the slick, rocky hills of Vancouver, Canada's north shore, thus it was coined "north shore" riding. Because of the almost, if not completely unridable terrain, riders began building bridges over swampy or muddy areas. These bridges evolved into complex, often times extremely challenging, man-made stunts. Because stunts are often narrow and may require the rider to move very slowly regardless of width, north shore riding requires intense balance and bike handling skills.
North shore bikes, such as those by manufacturer Norco, are much like freeride bikes in their geometry and downhill bikes in their components. North shore stunts have evolved to not only include simple and complex bridges, but also large drops and high speed descents through a series of stunts. North shore bikes commonly have as much travel as downhill and freeride bikes.
Trials
Trials involve jumps, hops and balance to navigate obstacles while performing tricks. Trial competitions award style and originality. The competitions are held both off-road and in urban environments.
Mountain bikes are set up very specifically for the purpose of bicycle trials. They typically have no suspension at all, though some still make use of some form of it. Competition rules require bikes to have multiple gears for competition, but most riders never use their shifters. Many non-competitive riders run single-speed, choosing a fairly low-speed, high-torque gear. Most modern trials' bikes have no seat at all, as the rider spends all of his time out of the saddle. These bikes are significantly lighter than almost all other mountain bikes, ranging from 15 to 25 pounds. This makes maneuvering the bike much easier.
Downhill (DH)
Downhill riding is common during the summer at ski resorts or other areas where riding uphill is not required (due to ski lifts, trucks, etc.). Downhill courses involve massive jumps and drops as well as technical terrain. Downhill riders wear body protection. Downhill bikes are heavy (40-50 lbs) and are not designed to be pedaled uphill.
Mountain bikes typically have eight or more inches (200 mm) of suspension travel. They are built as light as possible for racing. They are very strong and due to the typically large, high gears and long, soft travel, they are suitable only for riding dedicated downhill trails and race courses. The suspension is set to sag around 30% front and 50% rear of full travel, creating ample traction around bumpy corners. The head angle is often as slack as 64 degrees.
Competition downhill mountain bike racing is where most mountain bike technology is innovated, as most bike manufacturers sponsor a number of riders. Downhill biking is just as it sounds. Most riders who ride exclusively downhill do so in competitions or ride almost exclusively on lift accessed terrain. Due to the high speed nature of downhill riding most bikes only have one chain ring, a large bash guard and a chain guide. Downhill mountain biking is the most high profile category of competition biking.

Mountain bike
A mountain bike or mountain bicycle (abbreviated MTB or ATB [All Terrain Bicycle]) is a bicycle designed for mountain biking either on dirt trails or other unpaved environments. In contrast, road bicycles are not designed for such rugged terrain.Mountain bikes have wide, knobby tires for extra traction and shock absorption. In recent years, front wheel suspension has become the norm and full front and rear suspension is becoming increasingly common. Some mountain bikes are also fitted with bar ends on the handlebars, but with the increase in popularity of riser handlebars (as opposed to a flat, straight handlebar) fewer riders use bar end extensions. The bikes normally have 26 in (559 mm) wheels, but since 2002 some models have been available with 29 in (622 mm) wheels, which is the same diameter most commonly used for road bikes (also known as 700c). Note: The name given to a rim diameter in inches is different from the rim's actual size.

Al-kisah nyer
Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera,
Al-kisah nyer... bak kata orang tua-tua jangan mengata orang.
Nanti terkena diri sendiri... Itu lah terjadi pada diri aku nie. Kutuk
punya kutuk aku pun terjebak ngan hobi baru nie. ada lah 2 minggu
3 hari. Citer nyer panjang 3 hari 3 malam pun tak habis.
Aku pendek kan citer.
Salah sorang best pren aku nie. Dia nie bila free time mengayuh
beskal. Dia pun lalu depan rumah aku.. aku pun punya la kutuk.
isk isk... da tua2 pun main beskal. kesian2x... Pastuh aku tengok
makin ramai plak geng dia. pastuh makin canggih beskal dia.
Dia pun intro la beskal dia... "t-bolt".. tuk beginner
(dgn nada hasutan). pastuh kepala aku asik terpikir tuk cari beskal
tuk beginner. Hati pun macam tertarik tuk join basikal gunung nie.
Hampir sebulan aku menuntut ilmu basikal gunung nie.
Aku pun surf la internet cari maklumat pasal mountain bike a.k.a
basikal gunung. al-hamdulillah.. banyak jugak aku belajar pasal
basikal gunung nie.
Apa2 pun thanks to my best pren (Farizal) and the geng
(Bro Kamil and Bro Yakob). At least aku dapat bersukan tuk menjaga
kesihatan aku yg semakin menankutkan nie.
Blog nie diwujudkan dengan tujuan untuk berkongsi pengalaman dan
pengetahuan berkenaan sukan mountain bike serta
mengeratkan silaturahim diantara jiran2.Sekiranya terdapat
jiran-jiran LEP 7 yang berminat membuat kayuhan bersama-sama.
dipersilakan.. Kami berbesar hati.
Mari la berkayuh bersama2 dengan kami. Ia memang menyeronokan
dan apa yang penting kene ada basikal dulu boleh kayuh sama-sama :)
