About the squeak and creek sound is produced when two metal part rubbing each other. So i think u should know where right? the only way to overcome it is to add extra padding. the padding u can use is masking tap. later i post up a photo when i got home.

if your bike has rattling sound, means some part is loose.. like loosing fenders due to screw not tight enough..

if there is a sound coming from your chain as you pedal, then you need to lube it

everytime you clean your chain with diesel (cheap) or degreaser, you need to lube.

I would say go for wet lube so you dont have lube so often.

i m using the dry lube from finishline brand and need to lube like once every fortnight. probably because i cycle in the rain too often or on the wet road. somehow advertisement can be too exaggerate.

for cheaper lube but yet a good lube, you can try this TOYO brand : Fuji Spray Grease. You can try Ninja Chain Lube if you want

thinking of getting a folding bike to commute to my workplace daily (~500m).and possibly for on-off riding to gym,swimming pool,etc etc around 1-2km.

i live on 6th floor...so mtb or single gear bike is out of consideration.

btw 20'' is weird to ride or not?i need to ride fast (busy roads) and there are some bukits.

how about 26'' folding bike?do you guys recommend..i saw some people sell 26'' foldie around 800.

Your 16" should look like this

hmmm i think he dont relly focus much on the helmet..

In Malaysia, is it okay to ride a bicycle on a pedestrian walk? I see this is common in Singapore but in Malaysia, I am looked one kind when I do so.

The reason I choose to ride on a pedestrian walk sometimes is because of safety. The road traffic condition is bad and all the motorcyclists who are going on the most left of the road will not be happy to see me riding a bicycle and blocking their way.
