Good article for diy the fender. I really like this fender. It looks really neat and cool. The previous owner must have take great details on custom built it. He even follow exactly how the mortop clip design. I lost one of the clip, if I see this diy.. Maybe I just use the wire to stick a hole in the fender. Hahaha
Anyway, I've ask a mechanic to custom made the clip and it cost me RM 70 for two clip 😅😅😅

I see that most buy a 16" trinx and upgrade the whole component. Is the frame and folding mechanism really good? 16" trinx only RM 500 plus brand new
You also have a 16" trinx and upgrade to fnhon, right?

Not bad, quite happy with it. Fold and unfold many times, hinge still looks ok.  biggrin.gif Value for $ bike. Only the disc brake got some noise, but thats a small issue. Other than that, its  thumbup.gif .

Noise when braking? Try to wipe the disc with clean cloth. 😄

Hi..can anyone help to recommend me a good and fast folding bike?range budget around 2k and below..thanks alot

I find that dahon ( mine is dahon route) is so much easier to lock and quick to fold too if comparing to my java fit and IRA. For that price range, you can't really go wrong with dahon.
I believe tern are as good too but I don't have idea cause I don't own one.

When you are new to cycling, there's one guarantee.....your butt WILL hurt  biggrin.gif

Through all my years of riding, only two saddles suited me, the Selle Royal Viper and Brooks B17.  I'v just bought a Brooks Swift for one of my bikes and i have to say the B17 is still better. Brooks saddles take a while to break in, but after that you don't even think about it anymore.

Everyone's different so you will know when you have found the right one.

I heard a lot of good review on Brooks but the price are so expensive. Really worth it?

Owner of Hummer, could you please share your view of the bike?

Thanks.

Hi,
My sister own one hummer bike. The folding locking mechanism are problematic. It somehow uses quick release for wheels to lock up the fold. And the end screw sometimes drop inside the tube if you unscrew too much. Even after you lock it, the bike still loose and move. With this kind of locking mechanism, I'll advice not to go in mountain. Treat it more like leisure bike.
Riding position are OK and gearing, I would say it quite sufficient.

Another way to mod is to use the latest hex key skewers. Many are going this path as quick release skewers are not that really reliable. Instead of the QR, the skewers are tighten by using 5mm allen key. You can tighten as far as you want so this eliminates the smaller/larger lobes of the QR. Safer too. thumbup.gif  Try to find this, then measure to the length and retread. Don't buy titanium though as it is hard to retread, a normal chromo will do already. And if the hex nut is loosed, you can still open using 3mm spanner.

You only have to carry a 5mm allen key but then most riders have a set of compact tool on us when we ride anyway.

This is a good idea... The only thing I don't like the hummer is this QR. If this can solve the problem, it's not a bad bike. However, I find this bike too heavy for my liking. 😅😅😅

Paul, would like like to try?

I'll suggest to my sister. See if she wants to mod or not. I think she's thinking of changing bike.
May I know your purpose of getting this bike? If just for recreation, there's so many other bikes that are available for you to choose.
Too be honest, the fold are not exceptional small. You still need to take out the front rims to be able to fold your bike.

Another good suggestion. Thanks H2D. If I were to change to this megarange 34T, what other components do I need to change? Can I reuse my existing RD, chain ring, shifters?

I'm too face same problem with you with my dahon route. If this option works, I wouldn't mind getting one too. Just change the cassette gear only.

this is freewheel bro, not cassette.

after searching i realized this 7 speed 11-34T freewheel, is rare stuff and not available  sweat.gif

i got the pics from this seller in taobao, but 11-34T is not listed for sale, probably sold out.

https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ucket=19#detail

for 7speed freewheel, very common  - 13,14 - 34t, 11-28/30T

if for 7 speed cassette 11-34T i found this

Dahon route is using free wheel just like dahon vybe. So after I select, I got this. Is this correct?
