A brand that is catching on in Singapore is Casp Cycling. They are from the UK and when they have sale, the sale is really sale. Price plummet lower than Russian ruble. Of course made in China but their designs and colors are super funky and loud. Material also very good. The main gripe is the shipping cost. There are cycling groups who order custom jerseys or the same jersey to save on the shipping.
Eh, do you know it is kind funny. Rapha started out as a jersey company. They then expanded to the other cycling apparel. Assos on the other hand started out as a bib shorts company then after that they expanded to the other cycling apparel.
For jerseys, the better Chinese made ones are Monton and Mysenlan. Worth getting. Value for money. For gloves, I like Mysenlan. I hate the ones with the velcros on it. So I say best avoid gloves that use velcro to secure. Bib shorts have to spend more.
20:31 My personal opinion, a good puncture resistance & good condition tyre play an important role instead of tube, thicker tube only help reduce in pinch flat. For me, I change my tyre as soon I see the rubber compound is degrading. Clincher still serve me well so far.
Hi Melvin, Just watching your video whilst just testing positive for Covid. Took your tip of a table outside of the door for drinks and meals. cheers buddy Mike in NZ
HHaha glad it helps bro... Hahaha enjoy ur room life with room service... After the quarantine... U need to buy a good meal to whoever is taking care of u 😅
Another great video. Watching your ride over different landscapes and the climbs is therapeutic for some reason. I have my own drama with scary monkeys along forested roads too! And thanks to your channel, I discovered Redwhite bibs. Just put an order in for RW the bib shorts. Read alot of good things about it. Looking forward to wearing them and the pricepoint is just perfect.
Great to know you are back cycling after fully recovered ! After covid side effect, need to clear throat due to phlegm which I am still clearing from time to time when cycle. Cheers!
You guys punya level of buying cycling attire is another level wei. Just go buy Decathlon / Van Rysel Bib, jersey, glove or even cycling shoes. If you read any articles about best cycling bib or shorts or shoes... Decathlon / Van Rysel is always within the ranking and their price are really affordable. Local brand like iSport who is the official sponsor of TSG Polygon Cycling team attire is also very affordable... I bought their bib and its really affordable and sedap pakai.
Hahaha betul... Isport I never try but true bib rm200 OK d... Decatlon bib pun rm200 lebih kurang... Tapi I tested decatlon gloves pun OK... Not bad.... Jersey tak try lagi.... LOL
Of course no right or wrong to have a slightly fashion/branded/instagramable aka overpriced in your wardrobe for some occasion. Just like we may dress nicely to attend some event or gathering. By the way, found some GRC apparels are good deal. I owned a GRC bib and survive a near 300km ride without any butt sore!
Bro, thanks for sharing your videos. Very entertaining as usual. Btw, why not add some ride metrics e.g. gradient, distance, speedometer reading etc in the video? Just a suggestion.
Hahahaha been thinking about it but too much work... Ahahaha i am trying to do a work flow where my ride is 6 hours and my video edit is 3 hours.... Concern is to add ride metrics will end up additional 1 hour work... Hahaha and all the ride metrics r in my strava anyways.... But been thinking about it for over a year hahaha to add ride metrics.... And still thinking... One day maybe once I can figure a smooth workflow for video edit... Which is the hardest part.. Hahaha especially with my current equipments.. LOL let me explore abit... 🙏🏼😅 Thanks for the feedback bro...
Up to 14%, but it's not the steep part that hurts... Its the continuous 10% and problem is... U hit Mcd climb after u did a 15km return Genting Sempah climb... That makes it harder...
Hahaha it is not my preferred choice... Actually too thick... But I am it becuz the current handle bar is too stiff and no bar tape... I prefer thinner gloves with minimal padding tbh
So far my fav is either GRC and Monton... Hahaha for me it works anyway... I've tried rapha but not worth it spoils easily and expensive... Superkaz not bad too... So far I've tried these gloves...
Wahhhhhhh yea actually many long distance riders uses Assos... TBH.... But the price point might be far reached for some... Hense redwhite is a good alternative I guess... My redwhite still using since 2018... But need to retire soon d... Think this is the last year for it... I should try Assos hmmmmm
Nice meeting you bro..didn’t expect to meet you so soon since I just got into this 😂 We first spotted guailou and was asking where are you 😂 Hope to bump into you next time 🤭
Hahaha u saw the gwei Lou. Hahahaha good one... Oh and u just started cycling hahaha welcome welcome to the world of adventure and pain and spending hahahaha
Actually pricing for helios is pretty competitive for the quality.... Don't forget the group set alone probably represent almost 60% of the price of the complete bike... Crazy how expensive groupset is lately 😂
glad u back melvin
Ngaw thanks.... Glad to be back 😊

For bibs I no longer buy anything but Velocio. The luxe bib is incredible.
Wahhhh I need to check them out man.

They are all at least 20kgs lighter than you
Hahahaha easily hahaha some are 30kg lighter den me bro 😂
@@melvintanchannel So that means you are fitter than them. Ask them to carry 20 kg weights then join the ride and see what happens.
@Stephen Ang wellll... That's one way of putting it 😂😂😂😂😂
Decathlon bibs is actually very value for money, even the 2nd from the top is really gd
Wah ini I kena Cuba one day 😍
Assos brand glove is good bro very lasting I think it is Rm210…
Wahhhh rm250... OK cheaper den rapha... Rapha use 2 months rosak... Rm400 crazy

Almost dream like 😂

Pns has the best bibs and jersey I have ever tried. And I have tried black sheep, maap, redwhite, monton, China brand cheap one
Wahhhh PNS? Hahaha kewl.... How much r they? I head GRC also very good...
@@melvintanchannel 280+ sgd for the jersey and 380+ sgd for the bibs
@@melvintanchannel I don't really like the design of grc hehe
Yea GRC design some OK some not... PNS is cantek also... Clean... So far my fav still good old fashion rapha... Hahaha
@@melvintanchannel yea heard rapha is really good. Will try it one day
There's a lot of monkeys along the route now...pretty scary and always remember your warning.....
Yea they always attack the big alpha one... Just don't look at it and cycle away 😅 scary

Click on the youtube linktree bro it's there... If not its Melvin Tan 😅
Again... Really enjoy your video. Anyway, when is your Storck will be ready?
This coming week 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I like...
Jersey and Bibs have to be high fashion so spend big. You want to pull up to a Saturday group ride looking pro. Buy Maap and Pedal Mafia.
Hahahaha look the part 😂😂😂😂😂
Power man. The McD climb looks tough. How steep is it?
Up to 14%, but it's not the steep part that hurts... Its the continuous 10% and problem is... U hit Mcd climb after u did a 15km return Genting Sempah climb... That makes it harder...
Hi there Melvin,
I observed you are wearing mvr racing gloved.. is it comfortable?
Hahaha it is not my preferred choice... Actually too thick... But I am it becuz the current handle bar is too stiff and no bar tape... I prefer thinner gloves with minimal padding tbh
OIC any other option suggestion for me?
So far my fav is either GRC and Monton... Hahaha for me it works anyway... I've tried rapha but not worth it spoils easily and expensive... Superkaz not bad too... So far I've tried these gloves...
Thanks a lot.. I will go check it out 🙏
LOL have fun shopping
🤣🤣🤣 fitness issue not the bike!!!!
I hate this McDonald’s climb too Melvin
Hahahahaha come let's ride mcd climb together 😂😂😂😂😂
Gloves = Assos 👍🏻. Bib = Assos👍🏻 wait for Chainreactioncycle sales. Jersey = Monton 👍🏻
Hahahaha Assos thanks u 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@melvintanchannel My 1st Assos bib bought in 2015. Retired in 2021. At least 10k km. Still in good condition. The price then GBP90.
Wahhhhhhh yea actually many long distance riders uses Assos... TBH.... But the price point might be far reached for some... Hense redwhite is a good alternative I guess... My redwhite still using since 2018... But need to retire soon d... Think this is the last year for it... I should try Assos hmmmmm
Yea redwhite tbh the price is hard to beat...
LOL RW is pretty reliable I suppose...
What's your current FTP bro? You have a power meter installed?
Yup... Think it's 247...

Helios A8X for 7.7k? lol
Actually pricing for helios is pretty competitive for the quality.... Don't forget the group set alone probably represent almost 60% of the price of the complete bike... Crazy how expensive groupset is lately 😂
@zefferus the A8X is RM17,999 with Ultegra Di2. And it's an amazing bike!
The 7.7 is weight haha not price. 7.7kg
@@daniellaw5680 yeah just wish it’s the price lol. The current helios line pricing is amazing. Just got the A8 recently.
@@edud congratulations! What you think of the bike after riding it?
