Welcome back melvin! Fully understand that bike issues, work and personal life will take a toll on mental energy and will requite balance to overcome. I would like to share some experience that i have been experiencing for the past 6 months when i started biking on the road after a stint of mountain biking(No kaki 🥲 ) In November, i purchased a Trek Domane SL5 thinking after doing some research and testing, concluding that this was the best bike for me.. Versatile, stiff and Comfortable. The ride was everything i could hope for but for the first two months, there was a squeak coming from the front head tube that my self and the bike shop cant seem to get rid off.. in February, we finally gotten the bike to stop squeaking but the left shimano sti had some issues (which i googled and it was pretty common) and had to be sent back for warranty. After 1 month, i changed the sti to ultegra as the waiting time for warranty might take up to 6 months (which eventually took up to 2 months plus). After 2 months of riding, i noticed as well that my seat tube is slipping downwards and carbon assembly paste did not help.. so now i am waiting for spare parts to arrive from Trek which is going to take about 2 months. I am still not giving up (doing my cycling on my old mtb, which i consider as weight training) but it is definitely distressing and mentally draining. Howevet, after watching your video, i felt motivated to keep pedalling and be patient till my bike gets sorted out... thanks melvin for this video, it is definitely what i needed to get me through this tough time
Yea we all have our hard time... Take a pause but never go for a permanent hybernation 😂😂😂 good to see u r still at it... Sometimes self motivation is the hardest.... BUT with God, all things r possible ❤️
finally melvin is back. glad to see you back with the vlogs! btw at the end of the video you talked bout tires.. what tires are you using and is it 28mm?
Currently on 25mm schawlbe one tubeless... Base on my rim profile thats the aerodynamic efficiency... I will be going 28mm soon next week... Video up soon on the reason why... LOL
Hahaha I didn't compare as it won't be a fair comparison between those wheels... I was asked by Polygon to focus on the frame and test it on the xentis... So far I am impressed from the price of the frame...
Hahaha thanks! I would be interested to know the performance of the 11k with the original wheels without comparing with the xentis as that would be what the consumer getting hahaha. I know actually wheelset makes world of difference laa hahaha
I wud say.... End of the day for 11k the carbon wheel is OK.... But its heavy.... I would recommend to upgrade to maybe hyper China wheel which is 1.4kg wheelset.. LOL

Pineapple hill! Got the same bidon as well, only thing is you have to leave the drink mouth open, if not difficult to turn it while riding.
Yea I never turn it off... Unless placed in a bag or for transportation.
Finally the man is back 😍😍😍

Welcome back on the road! Nice route … except for the construction bits, adds unnecessary risk. Why not start from GCE?

Thanks... Very simple design which makes it really cool.
I want to experience cycling in Malaysia even once🙏

How does it feel with the original wheel as compare to the xentis wheels?
Hahaha I didn't compare as it won't be a fair comparison between those wheels... I was asked by Polygon to focus on the frame and test it on the xentis... So far I am impressed from the price of the frame...

May I know what is your height and the size of the Helios a8?
I am 171cm..
Helios on size S... I believe the helios if I increases the saddle. Height by 5mm and slam the stem it would be perfect for me LOL
@@melvintanchannel The bike looks pretty small for you.
Hahahaha bike is OK... Its the wide angle lens making the edge wider and longer LOL... Make me look like a monkey hahaha 😂 or maybe I am too fat LOL 😂
Female cyclist more focus on OOTD not performance
Hahaha Yes but their performance selalu drop saya hahahah
Worth paying the extra 7k to get di2?
Humbly for me... Yes... Becuz the rm17k comes with integrated vision handle bar and that is pretty!!!!
Shera look so much stronger than you guys 🌚
Hahaha she is.... She is so strong wei... Can easily drop most guys on the road!!!
No tail lights
