Hard Tail or Full Suspension

There are two important criteria that need to be answered before you choose to migrate from hard tail to full suspension bike.

Know your riding preference
What is your riding parameter that you enjoy most?First, are you more incline on cross country ride which is fast and less technical? Second, are you more incline on trail riding which are more technical and manouverability?

If the answer for the first is yes, then you should stick to hardtail. If the second question is yes, you should consider full suspension bike. However, if the answer for both questions above is YES, you should consider HARDTAIL.

Why HARDTAIL?
Because hardtail is versatile. You can live in both world. But remember my word. It is better you upgrade your hardtail to the maximum rather than buying the full suspension at the minimum. Confused?? Let me elaborate. You can get a very good hartail at around RM5K, so don't buy a full suspension bike for a price less than RM5K.

If you don't agree with me, then you can buy both model but only if you have a good budget.

Tribute to Pudin TTG

Narito Sipudeen, Pudin TTG, Pudin altrekis, Pudin kwela..all refer to the same person, the real name Saifuddin from Titi Gajah, Alor Setar. Started rode with Gerek Baru in 2009 and since then never looking back and continue to make an impact in the cycling community in Jitra and Alor Setar.

Gerek Baru is proud to be the platform for ambitious and forward looking rider like him to excel and make contribution to the cycling community. He has participated in a lot of project involving cycling events in the Northern Kedah specifically Jitra. Among them Kedah Jamboree, Kedah Downhill Challenge and Kayuhan Sejahtera Kedah.

Saifuddin also active as a blogger with his own blog Pudin TTG which registered an average of 300 hits every day. Beside, he also the admin of Kedah Downhill blog and recently he took over the admin of RedFlag Cycle blog. For info, RedFlag blog is one of the oldest and respectful MTB blog in Kedah.

Saifuddin is a great example of Gerek Baru product, a platform for development and excellent. When I created Gerek Baru, these two things were in my mind.

Saifuddin had contributed a lot to the Gerek Baru. He was the mastermind. He had wide contact around cycling community. He created and moved things. He was the master of networkings.

Gerek Baru would like to wish Saifuddin a succesful outcome in every endeavor he make in his cycling life and journey ahead. Whatever project he will embark in the future, a rich history between us will benefit both parties. Very reluctant to say, Gerek Baru is ready to let him move on. In physical, Gerek Baru will loose him but in reality we are expanding and ready to collaborate. Life is an evolution and changes are inevitable.

Ustaz Raja already filled the vacume left by Pudin as the mover and 'Raja atur kayuh' Gerek Baru. All the energy and support will be given to him.
