i don't own this trinx model, but based on my observation,
u could,...

1. find out the BCD of the chainring,..
http://guides.wiggle.co.uk/chainrings-buying-guide/
u might be able to get a 38T or lower?? to replace the 42T existing one..
plenty of these in taobao..

or u could replace the freewheel to another 8 speed with 28T.
check the capacity of the RD first.

2. is the shimano claris shifter so bad?? is it using claris??
yes it can be changed...

Thanks H2D. Its the shifter that is hard to press, using Micro Shift TS73-8. Will try to see if can somehow adjust to make it lighter, else need to find a used shifter that is easier.

is it the fd shifter only? or rear shifter as well?

if front only, maybe the cable tension is too high,,,??

also, the fd has capacity as well, so u need to check that too. biggrin.gif

First time go metropolitan park. Dunno how is it? But I prefer taman Botani. Very challenging. My friend just bought his bike. So he dun want to try difficult trail first.

just to add on, check the fd position as well.. change my oyama double to triple crank but cant use the smallest chairing as he fd position only allowed it to go until 2nd one. the seatube will block the fd from shifting down to the last one..

Happy to go KL CFM today. Nice ride. Just smile with everyone. ✌️
Now I feel I need more speed for my foldie. 7-speed is not enough.
But upgrading will be more expensive right then buying new one?

Same here,happy to ride on KL CFM today. icon_idea.gif
So far my 8-speed is sufficient for me.Speaking about speed,any foldie with higher speed? like 9/10 X 3 hmm.gif
After a few ride with it, I getting used to my skinny bike tires.
I went for 3 rounds full route of KL CFM.There were many people taking photos at KLCC with sticks.
When I first bought my foldie, I was also thinking bout upgrading,but as you said it will be more expensive.
If later my current foldie not enough for me,I will just go for those big brand.

Just got my c7a yesterday. Tried few rounds within open car park area today, feel satisfied with the bike. Haven't tried on the city roads yet, may try the kl cfm in near future. Hope the 7 speed enough for that road condition there.
