To give an example, I'm around 100-105Kg, on my race bike in the dry I run 115psi rear and 105psi front.

If it's wet/raining I'll drop that to 105 rear and 95 front.

Any less than that and as el jefe says I get pinch flats on rough surfaces.

Basically though you have to experiment a bit to see what works for you.

It's dependent on a couple of factors, the main one being your weight.

I'm using a Bontrager 700 RT, very impressive light although only has a 1.5 hour runtime at full power. I haven't used it in the rain yet though so can't comment on its reliability there, but so far I'm very happy with it

If you are looking at needing a new crank as well, then the cheapest option is probably Rotor Inpower, if it fits yours bike. It's around 32k for the PM and 3D+ crank arms/spider. Just add chain rings on top, or use your existing ones if they're compatible.

If you're looking for a crank based PM, then Stages and 4iiii are around the same price locally as overseas, Quarq around 10-15% more expensive.

I would source locally if you can, but forget powertap, the local distributor isn't very good (as you've found just on the pricing)

Try Ciao Pizza next to the Bangkok Bank main office on Silom, makes Scoozi seem like Pizza Hut in comparison. It's run by the same people behind Water Library. There's also a 24 hr ramen shop next door, don't try it, it's rubbish (really)

I'll have my friend find out if you can change the registration. I don't think he cares. He would just rather pay for a number than jump in for free.

Hard to find a car without a little scrape or two. Thing is though in the vid the pickup was black. Photo is clearly not the same car.

Well I'd say you're well within the max weight for almost any folding bike, Dahon and Tern state between 90-108Kg max system weight.

Brompton are available in Thailand, but very pricey at 50k THB + for the entry level model.

Masters Tour of CM was announced for Oct 21-24 this year but since it is always Fri - Mon, it will probably be Oct 20-23.  They're planning on changing Stage 2 from a point to point road race back to wicked hard circuit race. The course is one of my two favorite circuit races I've ever done in 30+ ears of racing. Unfortunately it's been closed to bike racing for several years. I think it's wishful thinking that they'll be able to hold the race there. I'm usually not in CM then but if they get that course back I'll make sure I plan my travel accordingly.
 
Too bad you can't make the Doi Inthanon race. I have several friends interested in buying an entry so they can do the event legitimately. Let me know if you're interested in selling your spot.

Moonoi, 1,100 meters qualifies as a hard day. But if you really want to do some climbing, come up to Chiang Mai and join us for a few rides. There's a weekly ride of 1200 meters of climbing, and we usually schedule a second day with anywhere from 1450 - 2500 meters of climbing. Leave the deep dish wheels home though.

To see the year out, decided to do some serious elevation (at least for me) 1106 meters of climbing.....can you guess where I went?

And the Trek dealer just 'happened' to have one in your size, and in matt black? 
 
Fate!

For battery reasons I'd rather not look at my phone.  Also, there's no room on the handlebar, with my reflector and my bell and one or two light mounts.  The speedo will go on the stem, I believe.  (Yet to fit - I will have a look in the New Year.... probably...)

I've just bought a bottom-of-the-range bontrager speedo so that I can keep an eye on speed as I'm riding - GPS-tracking phone stays with screen off in the backpack, to save battery.
 
On long rides, I over-cook the first quarter, and I'd like to bring my overall average up this coming year.  The problem will be the difference between the measured speed and the GPS speed...

The way the duo trap works is it detects a magnet attached to your rear wheel and your left crank arm to display speed and cadence.

If you don't have a computer yet suggest getting something like a Garmin Edge 25 which has GPS built in and will show you speed without any sensors on your bike

What do you want to know? It provides cadence and speed, if you don't want to stick magnets on your wheel you could use a Garmin sensor instead, one wraps around the front or rear hub for speed and the other around the left crank arm. Easily removable and transferable across bikes as well (if you have more than one), Wahoo also offers something similar to the Garmin system.

Did you buy that as a complete bike (Roval wheels?!) or just the frame and built it yourself?
 
 

I didn't make a business trip to HK, but I couldn't resist buying something so ended up with this :) I've now been officially barred from buying anymore bikes, lol

Merry Christmas, here's a couple of shots from the WTJ Rayong race weekend before last, lovely roads!

Clearly your broker knows nothing. Falcon insurance offers coverage locally for bicycles, it's actually a personal accident policy with an add on that covers your bike as well.

You need something like this http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/equipment/cycling-accessories/bike-pumps/bontrager-tlr-flash-charger-floor-pump/p/11881/ or an air compressor in order to get a good seal. Whilst not impossible, a normal track pump doesn't normally have enough to seat tyre in to the rim correctly.

Actuell found that its a lot of year end bargains around. I had initially planned a quick, reasonable investment but with all this "specials" Im afraid I gonna end up with more than a wekend ride 
Btw, back to Polygon bikes. The owner of the dealer here I rest my head most of the time asked me yesterday if I was buying for myself or for a Thai (  height) and I told him I looked for a reasonable second bike for myself. He is quit tall compare to the general population, I guess around my height which is 176cm. He showed me a Polygon he used as Demo and for a occasional Sunday ride the computer had 300km on it (yes I know that can be reset). As mentioned this bikes sell in AUS now (2016models) for AUD 1000,- and in Bangkok for about THB 29000,-
When Thailand is a bit different than the West when it comes to second hand how much should I pay for a demo here. In the west I would expect at least 30% of the retail price but what about here? Btw, the bike looked ok.
 
Thanks
Felt.
