QUOTE(andrewhtf @ Sep 13 2014, 11:44 AM) Heheheh. Dont la say i poison you... It is a logical choice apa.... I only have one foldie (wife punya tak kira), i definitely want to maximise it within my own constraint (kaki lembik wallet nipis). Dino pun dino la... If u see the seller page he listed that he has about 100 units for sale ma... In fact was thinking to buy an extra for future but it would take a very long time before we need to replace it anyway. I just wondered why shimano would wana discontinue this product. The poison spread from you ler.. I didn't notice that shimano ones, mana tau you highlighted it.. Dig back pula my RB memories.. Aiseh.. Kena la bit by bit.. But ok also, at least if I need speed I don't have to upgrade crankset, came original @ 46t.. If heart rate at 95 BPM, can achieve 37kmph..   If shimano didn't discontinue this model, tak jual la his cassette. Marketing strategy I guess, if you want 11t, you go cassette. |

To mount v- or c-brakes. But it was not used since they mounted disc brakes for your foldie instead. |

I'm not sure whether the brake pad/disc is still new, when i apply the brake it is like rubbing a piece of paper on a wood surface.. i feel that the old rubber on the conventional c/v-brakes has better 'rubber' padding feel.. DOes it need 'bed-in' time?

DOes it need 'bed-in' time? I think it is about that feel. And yes, if it is brand new, then you would need some running in. Something like sempah downhill run would be good. Dont worry, so as long as your bike is slowed down and stopped, then it is fine. |

QUOTE(destiny6 @ Sep 11 2014, 09:48 PM) it's done d.....not sure if i'm not used to it riding small bike  i still prefer my roadbike... my foldable most likely riding around housing area, cheap stuffs not really that good aiH.... I'm the same, serious riding I'll still use a roadbike. Foldies, just ride for fun or to somewhere that I can bring the bike with me. I will always advise to stay away from cheap foldies as they ride terrible and you won't want to ride it. for example...   So how much is this bike? Free....... this lady gave it to me, she rode it twice. After I got it, went for a ride. what absolute rubbish!! Goes to show if you buy cheap it is actually expensive as you won't ride it! hahaha |
