just a quick wash with water and mild car shampoo....hirap na dumikit ang mud.

haha sobrang mahal nung chris king, pati headset nila ginto but if you have tons of money ayus yun pang bling bling

the carbon frame posted by bat_zignal is for trailbiking lang, di pwede carbon frame sa DH and not recommended for AM kasi sa durability niya but those sure are very light.

*wildthing, you can use pressurized water basta dont aim it at the hubs or BB and drivetrain, kung main body lang pwede. have your hubs repacked kung nababad sa flood or mud pati BB todo kalas. dont oil your chain kung nabasa, let it dry muna before lubing. ok naman tingnan bike na maputik, now it really looks like a mtbike hehe

ill post a pic of my hardtail pagkakuha ku ng laptop natapunan kasi ng vinegar yung screen namatay eh

di ba pagsealed bearings hindi na pede irepack ng grasa? Paano kaya gawin yun?

DIYer kasi ako...i bought the tools for removing everything (almost, I guess)...pati special tools to remove center hubs, rear sprocket, pati pang putol ng chains...

nagcustom made din ako ng pang tighten ng bolt bearing sa wheel hubs...pinagrind ko ng manipis yung #13 na open spanner/wrench.

Thats a good move, investing on poroper bike tools. I also repack my own sa hubs except duon sa mga sealed bearings. Like BB, I justt buy the semi expensive stuff para palit lang ng palit in case makalawang na.

Sa sealed bearing hubs minsan bianbabad ko sa oil.

But kung kailngan mo talaga alisin theres a bearing puller available, hindi ko lang alam kung paano ipress pabalik.

Sa chain after washing it, I lube it with penetrating oil para mabilis matuyo, then put proper oil into it.

Miles ,
goodluck sa vinegar!

Yung isa kasama namin nagbabike, kumpleto ng tools. Sa kanya nalang kami nanghihiram or nagpapakalas.

Btw, I just changed my stem to a Truvativ XR 110mm/6deg, and my handle bar to a Truvativ oversized carbon riser bar.

It's a Jamis Diablo carbon fiber bike frame and only weighs 5.5lbs or 2.5 kilos for just the frame itself. Mura lang bili ko dati

It's a very good frame for Trail biking and Cross Country biking. Pero I normally do trail biking here in DC since we have a lot of bike trails here.

Happy Biking!!!
