Good day ladies and gentlemen, B@R has been training frequently this few weeks, getting ourselves familiarised with the trail. In light of this week's competition on 26th Nov, we will do our BEST and be the BEST!!!

Training pictures. Enjoy.

Hi peeps, I've ridden my Kula for the first time. Woot. It feeeeeels greatttttttttttttttttt. Let me break it down spec by spec.

















Tires:Nokian NBX Lite - Not as draggy as Panaracer even the knobs looks the same, however mine is 2.2, so theres tiny bit more control when handling corners.

Fork:Marzocchi Grand Fondo 1 - Quite responsive, small bumps are detected. Theres a lock-up function for road. In all, a durable XC fork.

Brakes: Hayes Nine XC9 - Hydros are really fun and responsive. After a few jamming of my brakes, I kinda seasoned my pads abit, modulation can be felt. Anyway, I still have to season my pads again.

Frame : 16". Race geometry. Looks cool. Feels great. =)

Shifters: Deore XT - Theres lots of difference comparing it with Deore. Shifting is much smoother,responsive and accurate.

Crank and SPDs : Raceface Ride XC, Shimano PD-505. Crank is stiff, power transfer efficient. SPDs enhances bike feel, but doing stupid things is not advisable.

Cycling Shoes : SIDI MTB Bullet 2. Comfortable and solid looking. It scratched my pedals when I spent 30mins figuring how to clip-in.

Overall score : 9.5/10.

Don't ask me how I fell. LOL.

the time is 7:22 PM

Hi guys, it has been a super duper ultra long crazy long time since we updated this blog. So, I shall do the honours now.

Lets talk about B@R first, we have been training pretty tough for the imminent SACA MTB XC RACE 4 at Tampines Mountain Biking Trail, we shall do our best there. =) All the best riders !

Well, about myself, I've gotten me a Kona Kula, gonna arrive here at 8.30pm TONIGHT. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Ahah! I have two bikes now ! What do you think happened to my Zhnged Hasa ?

















Yep, this is it, I've lowered down and tilted up the seat. Its quite a light-hearted cruiser. I'm still waiting for Miao's fork. CHANGE YOU FORK MIAO!!!

Okay, thats all folks. I would tell you guys how my Kula feels after I ride it. =)
