It's normal. As for me to avoid ass pain, I would tend to shift my ass to another position at the saddle once I feel uncomfortable rather than just sitting still n cycle. Currently cycle abt 15km each session n no pain. Maybe this distance is too short for me to get an ass pain. tongue.gif

Probably. Put on cycling pants, and also a thicker seat, might help. Alternatively get a gel or foam seat cover. Plus, practise to sit towards the back of the seat instead of the long thin nose. Not good for our sperm count, i was told.

Hi guys, just curious that any of you have a recommended grip pedals for folding bike? I'm currently using the original folding pedals when I first bought my dahon boardwalk and it tends to slip most of the time.

I'm not keen for the one with clip but just a one with "claw" that could grip my shoe better.

Want to buy a foldable bike - checked out rodalink and they had dahon, tern and lerun. they handed me a tern brochure and the bike's all look the same - but the price seems a bit expensive for dahon and tern.

I did an online research and realised there are even more brands - lerun, trinx, giant, ori, hasa, birdy, java, doppleganger, volcano - how do I pick?!

- The person riding won't be very tall - around 5 feet and a female
- just starting out and wants to ride for recreation and exercise but wants to explore more things
- wants the bike to be portable and to fit in the boot of her myvi
- obviously the most affordable but then it depends - if it rides well, then the person will want to ride more and if it doesn't ride as well, then they will ride it less
- riding on roads and maybe slight terrain
- easy to fold
- light
- portable - may want to take it on travels

How do I pick? What do you suggest?

since you mentioning about myvi car boot, i guess you need a very compact bike. Not sure which between dahon/tern that fits you but brompton has no prob. Try to ask the shop to test whether can fit into you myvi car boot or not.

Light bike doesn't come cheap. average weight is 12. to 14kg?

See ur budget

I think rodalink is having off the season discount.

I bought one from rodalink batu kawa kch n get it shipped to miri for free via bus express.
They issued a discount n automatically rodalink membership.

If possible, test drive ur foldie

The conditions of your purchase is quite perplexing! tongue.gif It's like describing a person as fair and dark, a bit fat but slim and quite tall but short! blush.gif In your case, I think the best is the Trinx 16 speed because it's cheap for the specs, has enough gears and also will last till you get another better bike in future if he/she continues riding after finding out that it's fun riding.

Another option is the XDS but the 16 inch wheels option. This bike is built better than XDS 20 inch counterparts. Whether you can ride long distances depends on the rider. The last 5 rides of the Penang trip we did, there were 2 retired Cikgus who uses it with no problems as it is compact enough to put into IKEA bags! thumbup.gif

haaa.. finally i got posting access to this forum.. it's a validation issue ... no wonder i cant post anything earlier..

just got my ride last week from Rodalink Hartamas

Dahon Vigor P9 for myself and Tern Link D8 for my wife

the bikes run awesome !!..

By the way, i am just curios with the tires i am running on.. on Dahon website.. it stated that vigor p9 is schwalbe marathon supreme but the bike is on Rotolo rubber... when i called back with Sri Hartamas Branch they said that every country have different spec of tire so in order to lower down the price of Dahon here in Malaysia the tire was downgrade to Rotolo instead Marathon.. is it true? or can it be accidentally swapped?

sharing you some shots of the ride

for normal 20" foldie, the top cover for the car boot need to be removed, then the bike to be placed vertically...
