No problem if you have medium cage rd. Short cages can only handle up to 28-30.

On a longer distance ride, it allows you to change hand position to relieve numbness, etc. Highly recommended, although I'm not sure about the alloy ones. Better than not having them.

It quite relaxing riding with a bar end holders, especially on uphill riding ( as uphill riding needs us to put our body weight forward to maximize the front wheel grip ) and with bar ends it makes the position comfortable. It also relieve aches and numbness of the palms on longer rides. I don't know about banning but it does poses a danger when you fall off the bike with a possibility of your chest banging onto the bar ends. I experience it once when I did mountain biking in the 2000s and have never installed one anymore since then. Not even when I ride foldies, eventhough they can be comfortable. icon_rolleyes.gif

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.

Thanks H2D for the valuable info. Any idea whether the Clix can go through the Hummer? Anyone selling it in Malaysia if not from Taoboa?

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.

Can the original be fitted in? If can, I'll tell my sister to get one to replace it. 😁😁😁

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. 😅😅😅
