yeah, unfortunately cannot see first, as shop in penang. I agree with you to go see and feel, because that time I have my eyes set on the 16" xds, then I go see, not really easy to carry around. trinx 1606 is in my shortlist, but can't find seller (at least from my googling). One shop in selayang said container for 16" trinx hasn't arrive and some bike shop in facebook told me no stock and need to wait. So, I'm still shopping around then he he he  icon_rolleyes.gif

btw, in some blogspot, they say if carry in lrt / ktm must put in bag, that means, cannot roll like trolley lah, right? must be able to carry by hand then.  cry.gif

How much is the trinx 1606 approximately? biggrin.gif

is it worth the money to buy trolley roller for folding bike that is more than rm100?

let say,if u want to roll the bike like 5 times a week,20 times a month and for upcoming year daily,then for me its worth it.dont be mad and get me wrong,but that is my humble opinion.better buy something worth such as gearset,maybe something else or the bag itself..

3 years already using folding bike,no issue want to trolley the bike or not.sometimes i carry it,and sometimes i roll it half folded (rise the seatpost and roll even though sometimes it sway around without control).i like to carry it with bag,and its better!

whats the matter most, will u ride the bike a lot??

even though i live in ipoh (town without lrt to commute), but i experience few public transport such as ets and buses..

but when it comes in public transport,..
yes,im using the bag to cover it.otherwise KTM for sure will charge extra for ur bike.

mine in the bag,my friend xds are not.he had to pay extra charges.this picture i took when we all take the train to kl attempt the kl car free day last 2014 edition

p/s : sorry if my comment a bit harsh, just my humble opinion laugh.gif

One more question,lets say if I buy the seat in the middle for ktm intercity,whr do i place my bike? Cz my uni in selangor but my hometown at Taiping. Will use ktm more often.
This type of bag can fit Ugo? up to 20" but ugo is bulky. swt

i bought the dahon carry on cover (since my bike is dahon) and it can fit any folding bike i tested..

dont worry,sit anywhere but ur bike will be in front.just enter the train early and secure ur place for the bike!

got the bike already?let roll and ride bro!

My work place us around 5km from my place. So it's easy for me to ride to work. Sometimes after I would do ride around ipoh town before I go home. Me and my bro cycle the same kind of bike but he doesn't cycle to work everyday.. [attachmentid=4471660]

No I don't use locks. Even when I go eat at some shops. But have to keep an eye on the bike of course. Or sit near to the bike. You can just fold it and put it in a bad then you can carry it around. Rear headlamp? Front or rear?  I'm using 4 lamps haha. A pair of cat eye nimas front and rear. Infini super lava 200. Biologic rear lamps. The cateye nimas costs 140. The infini super lava 160 and the biologic came together with my bike.

So byk lights. Haha

I'm using this one. Good enough for night rides that has other light source such as street lights but if u're really riding in total pitch black better to get strong lights

How much you bought it? Usually a pair of battery last how long?

RM 50 from Howei (now called Bikelah.com), battery life is one big advantage for this light compared to those using Cree LED bulbs, I lost count but i've bought it since months ago and I've only changed it once. My night rides are every week Wednesday about 2+ hours

Still available for rm50 ah? Fuhhh,luckily didnt placr order on that usjcycle site.
