Sort of, I push my swift through it. Very nice place to explore.
Actually I posted the wrong link. There is another clip with us cycling at ulu Padang PCN. Very nicely done place as well.

Nope. He needs to change his crank and bb before he is able to upgrade.

Darren, for my D7. I need to change the crankset if I want to upgrade to 60T. The D7 stock crankset is attached to the chainring.
It will cost me around 400 for the upgrade. I need to apply for budget approval first. LOL

That's an estimate only not exact cost. 105 but need change BB. My current BB is tapered, so have to go for another crankset if to use back the tapered BB.

Tires is ur best bet! Durano or kojak will do. Still can choose color lay, lol. I think the inner tube also got to change as ur current one is too big for those tyres.
