Fd should be no problem whether it is 8,9 or 10 speed..it only shift between two chainrings. I use the claris on my 20 speed setup with no problem. Not as critical as the rd, which is where the 8,9,and 10 speed is.

I dont even know if that was suppose to be a resistance. I thought that was a normal acceptable pedalling force, so i just kayuh like normal je lah..

Here are the pictures from my last ride. Although I recce with an mtb, the route is very possible for foldies as all are mini tarmac, except for a short stretch about a few hundred meters leading to the 2.5 kilometer Pulau Bunting bridge. Took a train to Gurun, Komuter reached at about 7.15am, started from Taiping at 5.37am. There's a nasi lemak stall open at that time on the right hand side just after the train station.

At the base of G.Jerai, where many roadbikers and mtbers start their ride up to G.Jerai, we took the mini tarmac kampong road towards the coastline. All the roads inside the paddy fields are tarmac as well. When you reach the ccoastline, the mini tarmac continues on for 7 or 8 kilometers, passing by many local fishing post or 'pengkalan' and one of them have mee udang stall. Then carry on until you see a small offroad on the left and this will lead to the bridge.

After crossing and return (5 kilometers), you can either take small roads or hit the main roads back to Gurun. I rode to Guar Chempedak for lunch before heading back to the GUrun railway station. For those interested in the route I took, here,

From KL, you need to bag your foldie and take the Intercity ETS to Gurun. Easy. Else, you can take Intercity to Taiping, ride in Taiping, ronda ronda, stay a night and then take Komuter to Gurun the next morning. First service starts at 5.37 am and every 90 minutes , there's another. Need to change train in Bukit Mertajam. 'Leceh' a bit, carry the bike over the next platform to change train.

The northern riders have more fun here. When I was doing the ride, I saw so many cyclist, especially road bikers doing day ride to Thailand. They just bring their passport and they can reach Padang Besar by 8.00 am and then ride into Thailand and still came back in the late afternoon and catch the train back to Butterworth or Taiping.

That's correct. When you purchase a new chain , it is usually 116 links, they calculate the inner links as one link as well. On my MTB with long cage and 42T biggest chain ring, I cut 2 links away, in your description that's one link. On my folding bike, I cut away 4 links ( 2 links , in your description ) with 53T biggest chain ring.

This is the position of my RD cage. Another tip, I use 11 speed chain on my 10 speed setup. Recommended by the lbs here. Was skeptical initially but it really is more quiet with less chain rub on the FD cage and also cassette cogs as well. Also, 11 speed chain is getting cheaper than the 10 speed chain nowadays, Don't know why ?

I just bought inmotion p1 last week, and im loving it, only issue is battery worns out fast when im over 25km/h

old version use those pin connectors 

310/100 already changed to micro usb, but lots of reported cases where that micro usb just pop out after using for some period of time.

latest 330/530 havent heard this usb issue yet, but seems the distance data is not accurate, compared to other gps devices of different brands. this is based on reviews on the net.

glad to hear that. my comments were based on user reviews (amazon,fb,forums). seems like a common problem for those models (loose charging ports).

i c&p few of the many comments on amazon on 310

Complete product failure after 10 uses. After making a six-hour charge with original USB cord the unit will only stay on for 1 second! As a brand new product, Bryton has much to learn about quality control and design engineering. After I wrote to Bryton Support they notified me that the internal connector from the USB port to the battery is failing on many units.
Please see additional Amazon review for identical product failure: "kimR on April 28, 2016".
From Bryton "the USB connector were weaken and could be peeled off from the unit which caused the charge would not hold."

"USB port broke loose after 4 months of use. It's now useless as it can't upload data or even charge. This looks to be a common problem for this new product. Bryton customer service is unreachable and/or unresponsive via email and there's no telephone number."

"after 15 uses, the usb connector inside the Bryton came loose.... did not read on computer.... chinsey parts"

"This computer was really great when I first received. It had a great battery life as noted, but by the second time I had to charge it the USB port had come loose like so many other people have said in their review. I wish I had looked closer to them before purchasing."
in my view, the qc in those models are probably non existent. same like buy proton. if you get the good one, then u'r lucky. so, it's quite risky buy.
