Hi Foldies...

I'm getting the cycling poison and thinking of starting my cycling hobby with a Foldie.

Between a KHS F20-JJ or a Trinx FA2016...which should I be opting for?

haha...quite a big difference.

Am considering the Trinx which is cheaper but my friend recommends me to get KSH.

That trinx looks more handsome! icon_rolleyes.gif

ya man...was thinking of Trinx as the price is cheaper to start with and similar spec for RM600 lesser.

Here bro,
If you like on-road, speed, then go for RB
If you like off-road, average speed, all-around, then go for MTB
If you like to be special, compact, fun, then go for FB
*
Well said, bro.. thumbup.gif
And, good points rclxms.gif
I think FB would be my type of ride for a start! smile.gif

So..how long have you been a Foldie?

Was at USJ Cycles and the guy recommended the same Trinx FA-2016 to me but with Disc Brake...is this necessary?

Trinx FA2016D

And, he said same SPEC & PRICE, XDS-AFB 630.
XDS-AFB630

Any recommendation if it's between this two models?

I am using the saddle seat pouch bag~~what is it that u wanna know?

the pouch bag is too small for my 5 inch screen hand phone and my full size wallet~~
but good for multitool, car / house keys and and smaller card holder i used for cycling~~
good point is...it does looks ok on my saddle and matched with the colour of my bike~~

but one thing for sure, the quality of the belt is not good...mine is broken and i had to use staple it to keep it hanging~~
*
Wanna know of the quality.

Same brand you using?

Gosh..so your strap belt already broken? doh.gif

Hi Julz,

Im using the Roswheel handler bag.. the biggest size which can house the Note3. so far so good. Can fit in my wallet, car keys and the phone. Pls note the front loop are too short for foldies, hence need to extent it in order to wrap around the front (to keep it from moving)

On the saddle pouch bag, can get the Giant brand from Mr. DIY. Selling for RM11.90 only. Useful or not is up to you. smile.gif
Already decided what Foldies to buy yet?
*
Thanks, Mate!

Yeah viewing and collecting it tomorrow.
A 2nd hand almost brand new Tern Link D8. smile.gif

Looking at it I doubt the Roswell Bag might fit. Lol.

Bro H2D,

Where to get this other than Taobao?

Any good suppliers for bags locally and other stuffs?

Questions: Other than a bike and a helmet, what's a checklist for a beginner?
