I would choose raleigh over trinx cos of the solid feeling. I think raleigh is the safer bet. Good choice.

Harrier vs Land Cruiser ma, hahaha.
Higher number, faster speed, harder to climb.
Lower number, easier to climb, slower speed.

There's a park in Shamelin, just behind the PGRM building. Anyway, to travel to Putrajaya from Cheras is also not that far and after work, the jam is on the opposite. I think if you are serios about working out, twice a week in Putrajaya is not that hard. Once on the weekends and another on Wednesday nights. There are riders even at 10 or 11 pm at night in Putrajaya. Just make sure your front and rear blinkers are working.  icon_rolleyes.gif

btw, What is the interval to send the bike for tuning/maintainence?

Why ask about disc brakes when you already purchased your bike?  tongue.gif 

Just for your consolation, V-brakes are better on folding bikes but disc brakes are actually more efficient IF IT IS A HYDRAULIC ones. I say all disc brakes on folding bikes are mechanical, meaning they are still actuated by cable. Just like V-brakes, they are dependent on how heavy you pull the levers to stop. We are talking about cable brakes , OK  icon_rolleyes.gif  Now imagine the braking surface.

The V-brakes braking surface is 406 mm long on one revolution, that's a long surface while disc brakes is usually 6 inch or 180mm diameter only. That's a small surface. It's OK if it was hydraulically assisted, just finger touch and the force is strong but cable, hmm.................depends on how strong your fingers are. The advantage on disc though is, it works the same when wet while V-brakes you need to modulate first, meaning press , release, press release before it actually stops. Problem is folding bikes can't use hydraulic disc brakes because of the hose which cannot be folded much. Unless you don't fold your bike, that is........

Want a better V-brakes, can go for Shimano XT sets. It actually cost more than the mechanical disc brakes and even the lower end Shimano hydraulic disc brakes.  biggrin.gif

Just curious want to know. biggrin.gif
I see. Thanks for the explanation. Tektro is considered a cheaopo v-brake? haha.
btw,how to know when is the time to chg the brake pads?
