xds is more on the $$ side among cheaper foldies, finishing is very good.

if u really wana get ur money's worth...

then u have to do the homework... which includes understanding how
foldie works, bicycle parts, why is this cheap? tht wan exp?

How to know that wheel size is 451 or not?
If it comes with the bike, then got no choice, right?

the java n xds with disc brake have 451 tyres...
it is stamped on the sidewall...

most foldie with disc using 451... is the trend...

unless u wana change the wheelset which can be costly...

OK. Noted.
451 tyres are narrow, more bumpy.
If the tyres are narrow, they can go faster, is that correct?

more suitable to go fast on smooth roads... i would say...

OK. Noted. Thank you very much for your inputs.

i saw Aleoca at Giant supermarket, quality wise not really got imho 7speeds i think,
but they a lot of models in taobao perhaps u can choose from there

Went to a bicycle shop. Look see look see.
Got these two brands.
XDS AFB 630 - 20" wheel, 16 speed, disc brake
and
Nakxus 20F048 - 22" wheel, 24 speed, disc brake

Which one is a better buy?

just for your reference, xds 630 can go as low as RM1.1K in Ipoh...

I have not seen Nakxus before so can't compre. If price is about the same, then check what are the parts offered and do comparison...

This shop quoted me RM1200 for the XDS 630 and RM1300 for the Nakxus 20F048.

Can't find much info on the Nakxus bike with Google.

Did u check proper the diff btwn d 2bikes, its quite obvious.

If u unfold all d joints, fold it, lower n raise the post etc, u will notice d difference.

We did discuss about some of these earlier.

if buy a foldie with a bag pun in then check in luggage will kena tax or not?

D fler found out sure u will kena la... haha..
How not to be targeted ? ha tht u will hv to pandai2...
