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. 

getting more confuse now... bro, ask you TCX-8 the tyre seem very botak and slim. But is it safe to cycle on the road? will it very slippery?

I might take H2D advice to take back the black TCX-8 and change the dented rim...after all, 20-25 seem bulky after fold. I'm staying in a condo, so space is limited. After ride i will always fold it and store at some small space. Hope i can get TCX-9 like you but again the bro said factory also out of stock....

that's very unfortunate of you for your first foldie.

I got mine from my aunty, a Element Cobra something which I Googled up and apparently it's an indon bike.
The bike itself is OK, but the folding clamp at the main frame is very very tight, and the one at the handle bar very loose, there's one time while waiting for the traffic light, the light turned green and I was ready to go, suddenly the whole handle bar stick folded down! Right on the road! Luckily it's in small town lah so hurriedly fix it and go. From time to time I need to tighten the screws to make sure the clamp holds tight.

well, the more compact your folding bike is, the more $$$ you need to spend.. so you got to compromise one to another.

20 inch bike is very bulky. the bike prolly takes up 3ft x 2ft of your floor space or more.

botak (no grip) and slim is meant for fast on the dry surface. If you hit pothole by accident, your tube will burst. Make sure you have presta valve converter if you know how to change tube/pump.

My main frame's hinge is very keras, so I basically unfold it the moment I got it and never fold it back again. I keep my bike at the stair case area (staying at a townhouse) with the handle bar and pedal folded, the length is just nice, and it takes lesser space (by width) than when it is folded...

Spray WD40 to loosen it..

Not a good idea to use WD40 and or any lube on seat post. This posses hazard in long run.

How bout loosen slightly the bold/nut of the seat post quick release clamp?

Do be careful !  The clamps must be a bit tight, if too loose, it will open up.  I had one time the handlebar came down, so dangerous !

Now I am very careful to always test that the clamp is a bit tight.  I also use a velcro to double make sure the clamp don't accidentally open up.

You get what you pay for seems to be true.  So I am thinking about other bikes now.

may i know where to get mileage reading for foldie? can recommend a place with good price? Thanks.

May I know if any of you use Endomondo to map your ride before? Or any easy method to map your cycling route?
