if you are a heavyweight, then can easily test the bike solid or not ...

for rider 50-60kg.... most budget bikes is solid enuff....

apart from looks n cycle to test,

fold each bike a few times, check the hinge etc, manufacturing quality, to compare..

thats y etigge said is more solid for him...

could be more metal in the frame.....

good comparison!

btw, i din meant that you said it is more solid bcos of the weight.

u did said it is more solid.

n coconut said it feels heavier.

so i tot the more solid feel 'might' be cos of the more metal? in the frame...
tht is my opinion...

my opinion...

it is not necessary to change from v brakes to disc brakes for a bike like the ugo...
the ori v brake most likely won't fail... only the brake pads will worn out, that is if u cycle a lot for
mebe a year or two..?

ugo fork don't have disc brake mount?
so u need fork that has one.

the chain stay has disc brake mount?
how? wana weld ?

the ori hubs are not disc brake ready?, need to get new hubs or new wheel set....

shud buy etigg's dth cos hes selling cheap... too big...

there is a term for this process...
where the last part is installed in that country and can chop the made in xxx..

bike 99% made n assembled in yyy country, ship to xxx country, install the last part, then qualify to chop made in XXX....

tyres for 20 inch wheels....

for those looking for cheaper n not skinny tyres to trash...
apart from big apple n DTH which cost RM 160 a pair.....

majisee holly roller 1.95 .. got frm taobao..

new one very expensive oh...
lucky got nos in taobao.....

got this to try cos wan a not too knobby tyre to trash gravel.....
this one cycle on tarmac very lil noise oni...
but berat.. like 600g+ ...

Not interested in fkr. ..

Fkr tyre used to be stock motor tyre in msia,
all those motor my famliy owned, first thing to do is to change
the fkr stock tyre..

yea its not bad...

if u ride mostly on road, then swap out the knobby tyre with a pair of maxxis detonator 1.5 folding bead...
u will notice the difference

what is it that u don't understand?

wah... ur bike still using dunlop/woods valve inner tube...




brake pad need to check with eye,
the rust part need to take out the cable, then oni can see..
if cable got rust very bad can putus.....

abit troublesome to pam the air....
n difficult to check tyre pressure...

worn out pad and a new one, the grooves are the wear indicators.

kalak Q6..

here the price round RM1099 - 950...

10% tax frm kastam ? ...

how's your montague...??
