i bought the silicon spray at tesco around rm15.90.if im not mistaken at Mr Diy also got the small one price at rm9.90.any lubricating spray can do,but please avoid wd40 on bicycle parts.wd40 chemical can makan the chain and steel,but its good when open and lubricate rusty things.

i like the silicon spray to lubricate because silicon didnt stick the sand into my chain easily, only after few ride i will see it.but the drawback of the silicon, it tend to wipe away in wet condition..

shocking.gif i bought is wd40 > luckily not yet spray. If spray the wd40 at the folding hinge can ? bad also?
Btw,is this the wd40 u mention? Attached Image

We called that the 'dolphin' design. A lot of foldies are using the same design nowadays. They all look alike too. I doubt your frame will break into two anyway because our riding style is more subdued unlike in the west or any other places, they treat the foldies like a BMX bike. They just run down a kerb or bunny hopped over small obstacles where else , many of us are not exposed to such riding style. Don't worry lah!

Love the dolphin desgin of the tern "pirate ninja" but then the price omg.

yeah.vybe is a good bike.for me the best budget bike from dahon compare to suv,but need some major modification on gearset laugh.gif bought for rm1k last time,the frame and stiffness are very good!feel good and confident also laugh.gif
8hour?means that 20kmj avg speed.if got hills,means on flat road he will be pedalling around 25kmj,and climbing around 15kmj,my guess.

from the picture, looks like he torture himself with that bike.i think he will achive good timing when rode a roadbike.

but cycling is more to self satisfaction.maybe he need to proof something! laugh.gif
does the pump come with twin valve?means can be used with presta or shredder valve?
*
Yea got twin valve. CAn terbalikkan become presta and shredder.
Btw,all folding pedals is plastic? my stock ones are plastic. Like not sturdy enuf. rclxub.gif

if im not mistaken wellgo pedal got foldable but semi plastic.my original foldable pedal from speed p8 is wellgo.mix of alu+plastic.

correct me if im wrong,but i saw mks folding pedal equipt as a stock pedal for 2014 tern verge x20
i didnt use any chain cleaner tool.just unused cloth.just spray the silicon spray to chain and wipe until shine.after finish wipe it just spray a layer of the silicon to protect and lubricate it laugh.gif
same model different name.dr hon is a 30th anniversary version of dahon.near same as proton pesona in UK for wira

both are good tyre for me.both are slick tyre
kojak are rather comfort as the big surface but durano had low rolling resistance and quite fast.so its up to u which tyre are the best.im using durano as 451 didnt have kojak.

already try kenda kriterium, also a good tyre and value for money.its soft and comfort and grip well like durano, but kenda tyre wear fast and the side wall are soft and not so durable.if im not mistaken,i've read somewhere on the net,the kriterium are racing spec,so racing spec tyre are not a good tyre for long use.

i also already used panaracer minilite.its a good tyre and the best grip ever on 20's wheel.side wall are good,rubber are soft and comfort.but as the name panaRACER means its a tyre for racing spec.and like i said before,racing spec tyre are not built for long use.

marathon supreme on the other hand, do comes in 1.35 sizing even though many sell it 1.5 size.its a good tyre for long use and touring spec with reflective stripe on in.as the tyre got small block on it,so the rolling resistance are high but u can go a bit off road with it and got a good grip compare to kenda kwest.

just my 2 cents  cool2.gif
*
Thanks for the clear explanation. Mainly i ride only on tar road. And i prefer speeeed. Thinking to chg to durano after this after my current tyre wears out or rosak. Haha. Btw,how to know kojak wears out or not? Since there is no pattern on the tyre? Lol

that one i cant answer really well.but if u feel any different (no grip) or the tyre already koyak then u can change it.my kojak i used more than 5000km before i switch the tyre {front to back} and until now still rocking until i sold it with my wheelset and change to 451!!

that kojak nearly 2 year with me..hahaha,
*
Thats long. Wats the use of switching tyre from front to back? 451 wheelset means bigger or smaller wheel? Hmm. Soory spoonfeed. tongue.gif

451 are bigger than 406.some people may call it as 22" for 451 wheelset.the bigger wheel, the more rolling distance u get.. brows.gif

switching tyre means u can get all the tyre worn out together.the rear tyre always worn out early before the front.so when switching the tyre,its like u will have new tyre at the back.the negative part is u will change both tyre front and back later when the tyre worn out.otherwise u only change the back only.its the same concept tyre maintainence on ur car cool2.gif

Heard before the tyre switching on car but not on bicycle. Haha.22 is uncommon isnt it? Btw,u pwn a tern "pirate ninja"?
