AERO all the way.. So fast want to change to ceramic bearing? I tried to look for the hub info on Mavic site but they only have hub service guide, tire pressure guide, user guide and catalog.... a quick search on ebay, not sure if is the matching model: linkUpdate us if you found anything on the ceramic bearing, maybe can do the same on my mavic too

HUMMER is China brand? i always thought HUMMER is USA brand which from HUMMER car! for folding bikes, you might want to check out the Folding bike trading @ Damansara Perdana... StarMetro features them few weeks back. you might want to checks out what's model available there and not model you wish for if you're desperate to start your cycling... i believe they can offer you valueable opinion on bike size.

like what vin_ann said...check out the experts first... you can also check out the folding bike thread first and see if it is sold or anyone knows anything about the bike there... it sunk to page 2 in sports channel... but people is still contributing if there is posts i think... Folding Bicycle like...........Dahon?, Any Idea..??? Please contribute.. Thx generally i think it should not be a problem as folding bikes are already very tiny by comparison in general...

That's why quick release links on the chain is important. So you can quickly release the link, take out the chain, wrap it around your fist and whack them a good one
