no lar... jus years of turning in roundabouts only...

in theory, yes... it is good to know what you want so your goals are clear.. but in actual fact, it is easier said than done when differencing opinions from multiple parties make life ever more confusing...

there is no guide book to getting the right bike and more money definitely does not mean the right bike...as with everything in life.. needs a bit of experimenting, failure, persistence to get to that point of so called self satisfaction for most of the bike geeks...sometimes, more often disappointment than pleasure in doing so...

so, the only advice i can tell people is.. always treat your first bike as an experiment...don't be sour because it does not turn up the way you expect it to... it is the vessel to where you find your footing in cycling..

U will definitely love BA if u like to go light of road. It really absorb vibration and uneven road nicely. But if u were using stock tyre like 1.5 and below maybe will feel heavier. But if stock Kenda 1.75, it will be lighter even on BA 2.0.
Not to mention smoother rolling due to low rolling resistant.

Overall my bike getting better ride also thanks to Jonny who service my bike and brakes. He was shock that I can even ride with an untune brakes. Lol. He said the shop that I bought this bike should have at least tune the brake. Not no more mushy feel on the brakes anymore. Any the thud thud sound I earlier had also settled by him. The sound was due to over tightening the bearing. thumbup.gif

Hopefully my wife and kids are still sleeping, so that I can sneak out early on Sunday morning to go FRIM !!

Otherwise, I will have to chauffeur them around for breakfast and shopping .. sad.gif

If I can get out, perhaps can see you there! Are you using your Tern Eclipse or Dahon ?

If you do go, the entrance fee to FRIM for small wheels foldable bike is RM1, just say "basikal kechil".

For bigger bikes its RM3

Yes, its about 3km from Kepong sentral.

BA is 20x2.0 and yes, lighter than my stock Kenda. This should be due to low quality of the stock Kenda hence the heavier weight and hard.
Yes, FRIM entrance by car is Rm7, big bike is RM3 while foldie Rm1. laugh.gif

Does anyone have those mud guard accessories installed onto their foldies? will the additional part affect the folding? I am thinking of installing one, apart from acting as a protection to my baju, it will also make the bike look more garang tongue.gif

Sample image as below. Note: not my bike.
