Before I went to Kajang, I almost survey all bicycle shop in PJ. All selling pricey one.

This few days I try to go to these few shop to look for helmet and other accesories.

USJ Cycle - went yesterday.  (Pricey - but looking at all the bike and accesories also make me itchy)

Kimbell Jaya in Cheras. Went yesterday.  (Recommended by another kaki bike) I finally found my helmet here. Prowell biggest size. Scary with my head size. Got sell Garion, Trinx and TRS (no stock now).

GS Bike at Kota Komuning (Haven't  able to check at this one. From Facebook look a lot to buy too)

KM Bike Shop at Jalan Sungai Jati Klang. Went last week. (Small shop and nice boss, he the one teach me how to buy helmet, although at last his shop don't have my size. But he spend time chatting with me as newbie. Keep asking a lot of question haha. His shop got some cheaper bike like the kajang)

All of them have Facebook.

Don't say I am crazy. I knew I went so many places just for my helmet. When I like something I went crazy
Totally agreed.
I have the same thought as you also. After this tyre is totally flatten. I plan to do some changes. I might go to 9 speed and put bigger tyre. And I dunno I measure correct or not. Our TXC is the same body built with UGO. Maybe our is replica. Hehe. Then maybe can change big tyre like our UGO friend posted before.

I mainly look for accesories. So didn't survey the bicycle. Hehe. Maybe u can call them. UGO can be found in PJ shop too, either pedalspot, bikepro, 1U or The strand. I forgot which one. Hehe

All above shop, USJ the nearest lo, then Kota Komuning and Cheras one lo. Then MK Klang is furthest.

Bro don't think too much. Ride your bike. After a while I think UGO just the same with our TXC8/9. Maybe colour different only. Same folding method, same 7-speed, same shimano gear, same brake. It is usual to get excited because so many brand out there. That day I saw a TRINX KA2016 red/black one and XDS red/black one the colour so nice. Sure the heart is itchy, it is just normal la. But the price TRINX 899 and XDS 1100/1200 sad.gif

I bought my prowell rm120. Also install a bottle holder.
Maybe wait next month for cycling pant and glove.

It is not the white foam. They call it EPU something like that. The RM50 sell at gan fler is made of white foam. So it is a better material. I even saw a rm500 helmet yesterday with sun glasses built in. So geng. Hehe
Not sure how heavy. But very light too.

but lemme tell u first and foremost,
thinner tyre = less rolling resistance

if i were you, i would keep using the thinner tyre lah.

One question for everyone here.
Do you all pump the tyre in petrol station?
Can we?
What pressure for 20" foldable tyre?
*
look at the marking on the sidewall of the tyre. there would be a range of min-max both in kpa and psi.
start with the middle point and test ride, then adjust accordingly according to your preference. for example, my wife's java fit thin tyre (compared to my ugo) gave a min/max of 60-90. so i chose 80.

if your air pressure is nearing the max limit, your tyre will roll off with less resistance due to rounder tyre and hence lesser contact patch. however your ride will feel abit more harsh or bumpy.

if your air pressure is nearing the min limit, your ride is much more comfy, less harsh because the tyre has flex to absorb some uneven surface... kinda like a mini spring la. but this means more surface area of the tyre in contact with the road and increased rolling resistance. you will feel that your bike is heavier to pedal.

so it all falls back to your body weight, your leg power and your personal preference on how you want your ride to feel like. just work within the allowed min/max range and you'll be fine.

Thanks bro. Just making some thinking still. But still I prefer slightly rough terrain rather than on road ride. Although I knew that MTB will be the best. Like at Taman Botani Shah Alam some place a bit rough. A bit scare the tyre may not withstand the roughness. Hehe

The tyre above written inflate to 300kpa (43psi) Max load 50kg. What does it mean? hmm.gif

wait...one tyre is 50kg, 2 tyres mean 100kg...so the bike can support up to 100kg weight person...Am i correct? thumbup.gif
then the inflate to 300kpa, is it means i must inflate until 300kpa or 43psi? the ideal pressure or meaning max i can inflate is up to 300kpa? which is which rclxub.gif

Not recommended to take fake B.. spoke to the owner before and heard about the issues...

If Dahon Curl is cheaper than B, i will recommend Dahon Curl. I heard it will reach Malaysia in October
