  which do u prefer?
  
  If u wanna chiong BT , Kent Ridge and Sentosa but also want your bike to be as light as possible?
  
  Is Full sus Ti a little overkill since the Ti Hardtail can absorb shocks rather well already?

  Singapore dun have any vert ramps la!
  
  Btw, u can do back pedal or not?
  
  It's a Street trick called "Abu bakar " (I think ).
  
  It's when a rider bang his front wheel on a wall and use the impact to bounce back and pedal in reverse for a few steps!
  
  Looks really cool!

  Abubaca is the opposite of fafanu, either of them means tapping back wheel on an object, the other means tapping front wheel on an object, both also need to hold there a while to make it like nicer like that, i can do a fast back wheel tap though.
  The bang both wheel on a wall and turn 180 and pedal back that 1 i cannot do, and i think that is called walltap fakie.
