Hi!
I'm just a casual cyclist, not a pro. I got into this sport not too long ago and usually I just cycle with my cycling buddies. We often explore new routes throughout Klang Valley and hope to take on bigger challenges when time comes!

Penang Bridge2Bridge Fellowship Ride
It's my first time taking KTM to Penang. Kudos to the event organizer, collaborating with KTMB. So there's this chartered train specially for the participants, not free but reasonable price which includes the train ride from KL to Butterworth, then ferry ride from Butterworth to Penang.
It was a great experience indeed. The KTMB staff for this chartered train were extremely helpful and well organized. There's a dedicated coach for our bikes and 2 dedicated coach for the event participants. I think in order to reduce their losses, KTMB also opened up some seats for public but they were in a different coach.
My only complain was the cafe coach, very limited food and beverage options. Maybe they can improve in that portion.
As for the event. It was well organized by Howei Event Team too! I love the jersey, with Pokok Pinang leaf as inspiration, creative! Love it! The lead car, police & marshalls did superb job in managing the traffic and controlling the pace but I just wonder why all cramp up in UOW Uni? Maybe easier for organize to manage as well.
It was my first time cycling from old Penang bridge to the new one, as usual, the wind is terrible but still love to cycle on it, one heck of a experience.
And lastly, super grateful for my friend's family & friends. They were cheering us towards the end, their support definitely give me the final oomph to turbo towards the end. Thank you guys!
Overall, I had a splendid trip!

Hulu Langat Hills Loop

My friend watched Melvin Tan’s video recently, conquering the Hulu Langat hills and he wants to try it too. Rolling-out from Pandan Indah, a good 3.5km warm up before we start our climb to Bukit Ampang. Usually I see cyclist pedaling their way up while I drive past them and park at Bt.14/Bt.18, but this time round, we’re pedaling up 😂 Then we make our way to Bt.14 to Bukit Hantu and then Gentin...
USJ Cycles x Oakey Ride

First time joining USJ Cycles Community Ride feat Oakley. A very well organized event. There’s marshalls, polices and even ambulance. Although it’s not a free event but its a nice experience. We got to meet former motogp rider, Hafiz Syahrin and even the super competitive iron lady Ann Pow! I had a chance to try out the Oakley Sphaera after the ride, I love it!

It’s been a good long 5 months since I went to Genting Sempah because the road condition was too bad! But my friend told that it has been resurface so I tagged along. It’s my first time starting at the Kolej Vokasional, it’s a good 6km warm up before we start to climb, I highly recommend that you park there too if you were to head to Sempah. That 6km stretch to warm your legs up before the clim...
Telesin Crab Claw x Insta360 X3 - Santai at Putrajaya
zhlédnutí 119Před 2 měsíci
I've recently shared that I got myself a new Insta360 X3 handlebar mount. Here's the video of using just the Insta360 X3 with the mount doing the Putrajaya Route. What do you think? Right now it's direct mount on to the clamp without extension, so the angle pointing back at myself might be a little narrow.
Best Aerobar Mount For Insta360 X3? Telesin Claw Handlebar Crab Clamp
zhlédnutí 1,8KPřed 2 měsíci
I've been searching for the best mount for my Insta360 x3 to be mounted on my bike. Previously I used to mount it at the gopro mount below my bike comp but I'm worried the stress from Insta360 x3 to the mount might cause the mount to eventually break off so I'm been watching loads of mounts videos and have finally decided to purchase the Telesin handlebar clamp. There are a lot of handlebar cla...

It’s been awhile since I join other cycling group. This time my friend invite me to join his group for the weekend 100km ride. Boy they are fast! Well at least for me. I think I’ve been in my comfort zone for quick some time now as usually, best I can do at my own pace was around 35-36km/h. During Letape Melaka, I tried to hitch on a fast peloton moving around 40-43km/h and I got dropped right ...

terbaik bro.. next year mau join lah
Yes, jom, great experience!
Can we take our bike on train? I thought it's not allowed?
Not on normal occasion. This was a collaboration between the event organizer and KTMB
Nice man, on for the next event. Cargo coach is for this event only right bro?
Yes bro, cargo coach for this event only. Great experience!
@@Melvpedals I can imagine, looks well planned too. Not like first experience with the TCCP ride in Penang like in 2020 I think, still new into cycling.
So jealous. You lucky. Hopefully Singapore allow full size bikes on mrt one day, at least off peak hours. Tired of the rule sia
I guess cuz SG MRT is more crowded 🤭 ours over the weekend less crowd 😅
Thanks Melv. Watched a couple more of your videos and really enjoyed them. Yes, the struggle is real 👍😀
Thank you! Glad you like them!
Hello Melv, good video - many thanks. Can I ask, what bike computer (make and model) are u using?
Hello, Im using Garmin Edge 540
Hi, thanks for sharing! super helpful. I heard that carbon handlebar can't be clamped too hard. I'd imagine you need to clamp quite hard to secure the x3. Do you have issues clamping on carbon handlebar so far? did you just tighten the clamp mount by feel until it's secured? I'm worried my carbon handlebar will be damaged. thanks again!
@@rasconivlek Yeah, It’s better to put a cloth or maybe a layer of something thick when you clamp it. This way it won’t damage the handlebar, I clamp it pretty tight though 😅 So far no issues even going through hard bumps, the clamp will eventually loosen as well if you go through hard bumps. I highly recommend you put on a layer of cloth or something just to protect your handlebar.
Glad to see you guys enjoy it very much 🙌
Absolutely!
ann pow😍
Nice I was there too.. forgot to bring my go pro to record the event 😅😅 Very well planned event by USJ cycle..
Oh yes! Well organized! Bump me up if you happen to see me on the road someday! 🤭

Thank you!
Hi can you share where you bought the mount. Thanks

great video, awesome ride!!
Thank you!
Nicee upgarade!!!
Thank you!
Nice! I’ve been looking for a mount for my aero bars also..are you using the carbon fiber stick that comes with the 3rd person bike handlebar mount?
Initially yes but it flex too much! I’ve remove it since.
@@Melvpedals thanks for the quick reply..are you using the standard invisible stick instead?
@@29drigo no extension for now, just direct on the Telesin Crab Claw.
@@Melvpedals oh ok cool..I just bought the motorcycle clamp and will try that with the selfie stick and see how it works..thanks!
The exit is quite dangerous 😮
Just upgraded from a 520 to the 540 but not liking it so far. My biggest pain point (besides the hard to press buttons and non-intuitive interface) is that the 540 does not automatically power down after disconnecting from the charging cable. With my 520, once I removed it from charging it gave me a 15-second auto power off countdown and then turned itself off. With the 540 lacking this Auto Power Down feature requires me to perform an additional 3-clicks of hard to press buttons to power it down. WHY? This is so annoying. From what I've discovered online, this feature was removed starting with the 530 and users were pissed off then. Now it's carried forward to the 540. Why would Garmin not include an auto power down feature after charging? If I take a turned OFF device and plug it to charge (which it then turns on) and then its completely charged and removed from the charger, it should return to its OFF state. That is only LOGICAL. I can see how lacking this feature its possible to forget to power it down manually and then wake up the next day with a dead device that remained on all night.
Its my first Garmin bike comp but yes, if it have the auto power off will be great! I recall there are auto-off feature but I haven’t deep dive into that settings yet, not sure if the auto power off is available there though. It definitely make sense to auto power off once the charging is complete.
@@Melvpedals I have the auto power down feature on the Edge 520, but this feature was removed on the Edge 530 and also not included on the 540. It's severely dissapointing to me as a 520 user thinking I am "upgrading" to the 540. The 540 does have better sensors. But the buttons and interface navigation are horrible compared to the 520/530.
Can we use it with magsafe?
Can’t. The magsafe magnet not strong enough.
Group cycling is one of the best time spend with good friends
Oh yes! The feeling is just satisfying ❤️
What a ride!
Here’s the 100km experience, NO Hantu NO Peras for next 3 months! Climb till limbeh mau vomit
Nice ride to kota warisan
Heading back to Kota Warisan from PD pretty tough due to the heat 🥵
Well trained bro
Awesome ride
It was!
Epic ride bro
Lets do another one!
Great very helpful.... why don't more people know about this way!!!
Hi can you share me this route
Here you go. strava.app.link/uLjj8ZZUSIb
Assos terbaik 😂
Power😊
I brought one last month, and my coordination is terrible. Now I know how to use it. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
What do you mean?😮
6:30 you are riding on the wrong way, it's very dangerous
recently I'm doing hill training at bukit hantu.. I usually do my training in the morning 6am (start from Cheras Selatan) ends around 8+am.. if you want, we can do together..
Sounds like a plan! Usually Sunday?
@@Melvpedals my plan is bukit hantu on weekday, genting highland on weekend.. Need to get myself used to long climb... I can do Bukit Hantu on weekend, need to accumulate at least 2000 elevation (target 3000) per weekend ride
@@wenhao.m wow! I shall join you and hope I can cope up 😂 Prolly next weekend

How was it? 🤭
@@Melvpedals it was good but always struggle on ampang hill when return with heat.
2:56 your friend brought you the right place 🙄

what mount are u using for ur GoPro?
Telesin magnetic strip
Thanks!
the correct answer is dji osmo :)
Osmo action yeah? Looking into it 😉
@@Melvpedals yeap
Happy Birthday 🎂
Thank you!
Like it. unreal trip~
Thank you! Yes, pretty nice trip!
Can it be used in portrait mode?
That's a good one. The best is to clip it back in its original position. For portrait I would suggest that you get the mount accessories to flip the gopro or your action cam to portrait position.
ja, einfach um 90⁰ drehen
Great comparison. I got a insta360 but didn't try it with the data yet. Do you do zwift? I do crits, I'll try the camera in next races I subscribed ✌️
Thank you! I haven’t got myself an Indoor trainer yet 🤭 Go include your stats in your video, you’ll love it!
