Thank you Shengz and H2D.
I am looking to buy a foldie. Not sure which brand to buy.
I am new in this cycling.
I have tested the Dahon and GTA. Sad to say I don't feel any difference between the 2.
Yah, please recommend some shops for me to visit.
*
wana see alot of java, go direct to pedalspot, they are main dist.

as for xds.. is scattered in many shops...
usj- $$$
samybike - (big xds signboard) can order for u. shud be able to get good price.

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?
what u wana do with the bike... etc etc...

all these is a must... even u plan to buy a cheap wan...

members here end up go back to bike shop to return , exchange, fix etc.. regret etc..
u can read their experience earlier..

so do homework is a must....

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... biggrin.gif
