Thanks for your feedback budgee.

I normally exit Subang to Federal Highway, then exit at Nanyang and head to Western Digital traffic light via Free Trade Zone, then go straight thru SS3 all the way to Taman Bahagia LRT and straight on to Taman Megah. There's a narrow bridge at SS19 and narrow roads near Taman Bahagia LRT. Will consider your offer to try your bike
I find a lot of shops are not too generous to let me test their bikes. That's why it's hard for me to decide.
Today no ride, just found out last night both tyres punctured. Maybe I'll go MBS later to fix and have a look..

My Link D8 now is Link D10

Changed the below, in case anyone ask:
- Litepro Demon TT Bullhorn
- Used Dura Ace 7800 Brake Shifter lever
- SRAM PG1070 11-28T 10s sprocket
- Microshift Arsis RD
- Litepro RD hanger
- Kore Seatpost
- Vertu saddle
- Wellgo QR pedal
- Litepro stem

Currently brake system is not as good due to pull ratio of brake level and V brake incompatibility. I can either used travel agent or change to 451 wheelset and calliper brake altogether. Looking at it, I might opt for latter.

Sekian terima kasih

Do you hv to go with folding bike? You can actually open up your option to include full size bike. A full size bike does not necessary need suspension as it wheel is big enough to absorb the bumps, etc. Also you did not really touched on the need/use of 'folding' features. with your stated bgt, you can easily get an efficient, fast, light full size bike ( eg. Fuji). cheers

nice!

Thank you all for your feedback.

A peculiar afternoon today. With punctured bike and intention to see and test some bikes, I went to MBS but it was close. Tried calling kimbell jaya, sew long, gw, all calls unanswered. Proride hung up halfway when I asked bout fixing punctures. Then my friend with me saw this thread mentioned KHS 50% disc, we called, discounted units have been sapu. We went anyway to have a look, tested some and decided on a 16" Ori M10 in the end. Changed to SR Royal Gel saddle.

Impulsive buy? Perhaps, but I like how it can be folded into smaller size, maybe one day I can bring it abroad. Why not full size bike? I don't actually have lotsa experience with bike (don't even know how to change tube) and foldie provides an option to chuck the bike into boot if I am tired or I can't solve the problem. Smaller to store at home too. It's standing in a corner in the living room now

Oh yeah I forgot to add, I have to ride in upright position, so as not to increase pressure on the spine, that eliminates a lot of other options

thanks!

wah.. got target already... ??

to achieve a softer ride...
u can use a bigger tyre, lower the pressure + soft saddle + padded short...

msknowit28 I use similar route like you to my workplace at Taman Megah Mas using a Tern Link D8. Cheers

Have you ever had seat post that keep sliding down? I had one and after looking at it, I found out that it happens because of the powdery substance that is produced when we keep pulling in and out of the seat tube. Put your fingers inside the tube and feel it. If the seat post is black, it's even worse as the paint is grinded into powder due to the friction when you pull in or push in the seat post. This powder makes it slippery. It can be washed clean and wipe with alcohol though. Even worse still is the seat post shim that's rusted. Although aluminium, they can get badly stained and rust too! I also cannot understand is why our bike shops here don't really stock this shims!

I took out the shims and changed it.



The seat tube is sanded and cleaned before the new shims are inserted.

An upgraded MU P8. Not bad isn't it? Can't understand why there's another unit still available in Kimbell Jaya but no takers! Selling it cheap too.

You mean OCBC right? I also dont understand. But since is only community ride that I am joining, I don't care la, just go with this setup. Thou I can change a dropbar easily.
