Don't worry, we won't be playing Black Eyed Pea's "I've Got A Feeling" anymore

Plan A or Plan B?

A group of 6 of us from Malacca have registered for Kulim's Night Ride Jamboree to held on 1st May (Saturday). Hotel arrangements have been made. Should be a done deal right? Just that I forgot one thing.

I am a council member of the place I stay. This Saturday, 24th April is our AGM. Shouldn't have any conflict with our plans to Kulim. Unfortunately I didn't see a technical glitch that comes with AGMs. If this Saturday's AGM does not have quorum (which means there are not enough members attending), then it is automatically postponed to the following Saturday, same time and same place. Arrrgggg... that means it falls on 1st May!

Anyway, I have plan B in place.
I have also registered for Jasin Mtb Jamboree that will held on 2nd May (Sunday).
If Plan A fails, backup plan B will spring to place.

News Update: 26/4/10
Looks like it's Plan B for this weekend.

We were short of only 1 registered owner or proxy to make the quorum. We didn't want to carry on even though we were so close to getting the quorum because just outside of the meeting room was a bunch of inconsiderate owners who had the proxy and qualified to register but just wanted to frustrate everyone by making them, most are Singaporeans, come again next Saturday. Carrying on would give these nimcampoops reason to declare the AGM null and void.

Anyway, what they did was just to ignite the feeling of anger amongst those who had made the time and journey and vowed that they will be back next weekend even if they had to crawl from Singapore. Yes!! that's the spirit.

Plan B it is. Jasin Mtb Jamboree here I come.

The making of Giant Carbon Fiber bicyles

I have always been curious about how they build carbon fiber bicycles.

Do you have a frame that acts as a mould underneath the carbon fibre? If yes, then how to take out the mould once the carbon fibre sets?

Is it wrapped around layer by layer as what they do with fiber glass?


One of Taiwan's biggest bicycle manufacturer, GIANT open it's factory door to reveal how they make carbon fiber bike frames.
