But how come the cheaper TXC-8 can lower or up easily without much effort?

Not yet bro. I plan to get front light & rear blinking light for night ride. What accessories u recommend? I'm from Kota damansara,. Looking for other newbie like me to bike together....

So far i just bought myself rear blinking light, still looking for my big head helmet.
Still KIV for bottle holder and front light. Rear light just bought from daiso RM5,
Front light in Daiso look ugly, so didnt buy. Buy a loceng for my wife bike too.

I think first page of this thread also have post for the accessories.

Oh yea, what a coincidence...I went to mr.diy today, saw some led light. Come with a pair. Too bad is white light only. Looking for red light blinking...hehe

Yes, I'm too think helmet is vital to get. Shop giant today, found adult helmet 3x.xx . Dunno can pakai or not...don like the string, very mediocre made....

Bro, my TRS after fold, not so stable... The stand/feet only senget one side when support the folded wheel. Ask the Malay guy, he said this model liddat one because of larger tyre....

So far 2 issues I faced thus far this model, the feet & the saddle adjust very tight. Seem like 3rd visit back is inevitable.....

Actually, though I like the service but traveling there is very far....my initial tot buying a bike is one time off but it seem I was wrong. For 1st time buyer, location also imperative to consider as u might go back like me when got issues....sigh

I have no choice also, no place in PJ sell those TRS or Trinx
They all sell XDS, Java, Dahon, Tern and Brompton.
Other place I heard sell TRS is Rawang and Dengkil. Also far.
I dunno why yours got so many problem.
Maybe that why a lot PJ people here buy branded one, maybe less problem. Haha
Saddle too tight I think acceptable kot, better than too loose later it's slide down when it suppose not to slide. And for the feet, I don't really mind because I unfold them at home only fold it to put in my car bonnet.

You travel on weekday to Kajang. No jam meh?

tht seat post is not an issue la...
it is liddat cos they wana save cost...

if u bring back complain, i'm sure d fler will put oil.. not hi-tech oil u know
those like enjin oil he will squirt a lot on the seat post
then do the zig zag pull up n down...
the oil will flood the seat tube inside n make a mess,
u will hv hard time cleaning it , etime u touch there will have oil stain...

so u think first if he wana put oil....

the stand as long as it is not bengkok , should be able to stand properly, u need to fold it properly...
n tie with velcro the two sides, so it is tight.

helmet d shop there got cheap ones mar, no more stock meh?

mr diy depends on outlet, i think i saw got some ok ok lights...

a proper seat post, once u release the QR it will be loose with no effort n will drop down.

once u tighten the QR, the post will be very very tight, depending on how much u adjust the QR.

now, some budget bike got smarter, cos they know this is a problem,
so they put plastic insert into the seat tube, tho it is still tight but much less friction...

guys....wanna ask is it important for that for foldable bike that the handle bar can adjust the height?
as there are some foldable bike the handle bar the height cannot be adjusted. eg: hummer

hummer is like normal bike liao lor...


those folding bike with adjustable height so u can change ur riding position from up right

to a bit more incline n sporty mar...

cos the design is different... normal bike how to do it liddar ler.....

quite jam too...the travelling is killing me though...

but i still cant figure out why the 1st bike i bought TXC-8, the saddle is easily adjustable...i really need an easy adjustable saddle as it can be driven by different people in my family....

bro, other than putting oil, any other good suggestion or should i ask them to replace me the saddle rod? will it help?

about the stand...i dont mean the side stand. is the centre piece triangle at the bottom of the frame. use to make the foldie stand on ground without the 52T or chain hitting the floor after fold. When i was using TXC-8, the triangle metal can stand straight without senget. but in my 20-25, the triangle thing have to be senget a bit regardless how i fold it...i think no thanks to the 451 tyre...

eH....i'm referring to this folding hummer below:



not sure what you mean by normal bike.....
still new with bicyce

txc-8, i think the seat post size is bigger... and the frame material a bit different..

mebe u wana change back to tht model...

even u change the post oso most likely won't help,

cos the seat tube opening is really stiff.


mebe u r right bout the 451 causing the bike kenot stand well...

but tht day i got fold the bike at the shop too.. and it seems ok... can't remember...

yala tht is like normal bike lor... folding bike mostly use this kind mar...

ic...shouldn't be a problem for adult to ride it right?
i just wanna ride around only......going to buy 2 from taobao

should be ok ...

unless u r really tall ....

u wana raise or further the distance of the handle bar oso can, got many parts u can play with...

cool....thanks man can't wait for it to arrive

ah...change back???... never think of so many issues owning a bike...huhu seriously, u think i should change back to txc-8? the black color i bought yesterday left one unit only. there''s blue but i dont like. perhaps get back the old unit and just replace the new dented rim...

what say u bro?...really dilemma now..

Yes, if the seat post issue is really important for u , cos u share thebike often then shud change back, n replace rim frm blue bike ..

Change back ha?
I am not really sure. Seat post thing depend on you lo. Another friend brought a Nakxus foldie which is RM750 also very tight, and now the seat post already bercalar calar (it coated black with silver colour inside) because she always need to lower and raise the seat post to fix in her myvi. but she said its okay, bicycle meant to be calar not meant to be well kept. so it really depend on people. mine although is easily release and fall down once i release also bercalar calar already because it is metal and metal contact. so sooner or later sure bercalar one.

I knew that triangle stand below the crank. i really not sure about your model my wife TXC8 can stand well like u said.
Again it is just to protect your crank from touching the ground. most of the time the bike should be unfold.

One thing i can suggest is that, whether you can change the seat post on TXC8 to your current bike and see how it is. maybe that TXC8 seat more loosely design. Just my opinion.

I prefer not to confuse you more. ride your bike. as long as its function as bike to ride then enjoy it. Those minor minor thing i think dont really interfere with the function. <-- maybe i just too optimistic or easily sastified.
Or think like me, if i really become more and more addicted. I wont buy new one, but i will mod it
I will keep some money maybe mod it over the year.
