QUOTE(Zelmel @ Aug 12 2014, 11:54 PM) I bought my foldie two days before Raya. Hehe. Bro, when u say joint loose is which part? The seat, the fold frame or the handle when folding?Since I got both TXC8 for my wife and TXC9 for my self. So here my unprofessional comparison. Oh ya my friend also bought a TXC8 at same time. 1. TXC9 come with new saddle which is thicker and more spongy. Which I think it is nicer to ride. My wife will buy new saddle as the saddle of TXC8 is harder. She felt buttock pain. 2. TXC8 joint on day 1 it felt loose. After watching YouTube and reading internet I manage to learn how to tighten the joint properly. Both my wife and my friend happy after the joint is tighten. Before this it feel bergoyang-goyang. 3. I always carry one hand TxC8 and one hand TXC9. You know la need to carry for wife. Hehe. I feel both same weight. Whether it is really 11kg. I never go ms weight it yet. 4. Any foldie after folded, you only can carry it. (I might be wrong, maybe got other brand can move after fold) 5. Both TXC8 and TXC9 same dimension after folded. Mechanism of folding is same for both for the body one. Joint for folding for handle as you see in picture i showed you before. I feel TXC9 easier to fold. But it really much different.

Omg, one big one small tyre...must need dollars to mod that....great to know....Hugo after fold, that bad meh? posted earlier in V2 bro Yun dopplerganger... heavy but no prob...  |

The price is 😓😓😓 Oh yea, u mention u from pj too. Which part? Can I join u to ride together? Pls, I'm a slow rider and new in foldie. Just wanna start a hobby & into a club one day where we can make a group of passion people when pro later. For a start, just play play & get used to foldie. 2 days read the forum & enough to get me adrenaline rush....haha Oh yea, I change the handle rubber as I don't like the stock. The stock one feels like kasar...what about u? This post has been edited by suntzulee: Aug 13 2014, 12:24 AM |

I don't said the UGO fold very bad. Just don't like the way it fold. You notice there is a stand/feet that hold our TRS so that the front crank and the bottom of bike didn't touch the ground. UGO don't have it. |

Or u mean after unfold the handle, u feel loose instead?...haha, better we sit down & share all these...so hard to describe in words here....after I pick up my new T8, will sure join u. Only if u welcome newbies.... I don't said the UGO fold very bad. Just don't like the way it fold.

Only if u welcome newbies.... Yup. That joint I mean. You can adjust the tightness by screwing something there. Yup very hard to describe. Haha.I am newbie too. Just bought before Raya. Peer pressure by my friend. They already conquer Ulu Langat hill using foldie I can't even finish the Taman Botani Shah Lam trail. Effect of long time no exercise and having sedentary lifestyle. Haha. I stay near UM. But going klang as My friend from Klang. I am joining them as they knew more about bike. All the knowledge I share is from what they teach. So I am not pro yet. So far we cycle putrajaya, FRIM and Taman Botani Shah Alam. I welcome you joining me. But need to ask the big group first. I believe there are also many foldie group in this forum. My cycling maybe not as frequent as you think because of the job I have. 😊 This post has been edited by Zelmel: Aug 13 2014, 12:41 AM |

just came back from gan fler...managed to changed a new TRS...it is 20-25 model as posted by H2D couple pages back...
The malay cantonese spoken guy really good service. Change my TXC-8 i bought yesterday for me to this model. It was new opened from box and assemble within 15mins... i notice the tyre is bigger but still 20". According to him, is 138 model whereas TXC-8 tyre is 175. A very big different is the typre pattern. 20-25 seem got flower whereas TXC-8 looks botak...i think it should give me better grip on the ground. I have chosen a orange black color as i dont like the green or red...  Hi H2D, i notice the seat still very hard to lower up or down...is it because just open new from the box? anyway can loosen it? |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Glad that you able to change to newer bike. Like I said I like the guy as he can make decision maybe he is boss also. As for the seat. Hopefully it will get loosen over time. Did you buy any accesories? So your bike have bigger tyre. I dunno that. Somehow he didn't tell me that. With tyre that have pattern, you have better grip. Btw bro, where you from? This post has been edited by Zelmel: Aug 13 2014, 03:06 PM |
