Hi all, any suggestion on ergonomics handlebar grip? Currently, I am just using on a foam grip on my Crius Velocity foldie. After few long distance ride, I feel very uncomfortable on my palm and thinking to change to a better one.

i am using this on my wife's foldie, which also has a foam grip. used to have a carbon fibre bull bar like mtb but i find this new one gives better long distance comfort

3k?wow... depends on ur need.

if u want compact, brompton look a like u can get pikes element 2020. good bike and 95% copy brompton
if u want performance, a little bit plus on ur budget u can get tern verge d9
or u can go with any dahon, tern model. its a reputable brand.

if u want a bike that u dont want to upgrade on the gearing and good performance
u can go with java ira. its china made brand with design in italy caption sweat.gif

lately Ira harga yehudee

just less than 2 months back, can get brand new below rm2k

yesterday saw 2 adverts, USED asking for RM2.2k (bone stock) & RM2.6k (s-called upgraded parts)

yeah.. i had saw 1 stock java ira stock condition 0km for sell and asking price for rm3.25!

gile rclxub.gif

story about java last week
i had one friend in kedah. that time my friend at his local bike shop got 2 buyer scouting for folding bike.
one of them look like already had one, another one is still blurring what bike should he take. the expert one said to him

"java bike is the best and expert in folding bike made in italy. dahon and tern are lousy coz made in china and not a top brand"

my friend laugh and left them laugh.gif haiyoo.. this type of person making java bike more expensive than before  doh.gif i didnt said that java are not good, but the quality still cant match with dahon and tern
*
i really should find opportunity to pinjam ride a dahon or tern. never rode one before so i dunno how it felt.

i also thought java to be good, but my wife java is now an old bike so abit of flex and rickety is expected.

Anyway, got any budget cycle computer to recommend to measure cadence/bpm and can link to strava?

nowadays the cheapest GPS bike comp i can find is xoss G+. local seller rm128, if china seller maybe cheaper abit.

there are also a few china brand punya here and there with price range 180-280

bryton can get between rm280-500 (Rider 10, 15, 320 or 420)

garmin 530 can get about rm500-600

I just change my cheapo stock China tires 20x1.75 to schwalbe marathon racer 20x1.50

During installation when I remove the old tires I find that the inner tube stated 20x1.75 - 2.15

Can I use back the same innner tube for my marathon racer tires which is 20x1.50? Currently I just use it back and it seems to be ok. Will I encounter any damage? Looking for further advise
*
Yes you can, just make sure when reinserting the tube there are no folded/overlapping part and good to go. I am also using 1.75 tube in a 1.5 tyre

Remember I asked about what tyre to change to, few months back? Before MCO. Got myself a pair of "superdiamond" which was said to be made from same factory that made kenda kwest

Ini la akibat wana save budget. Pakai tak sampai 200km pun. Dah koyak tepi. Dunno what's the cause. Lepas ni kena jugak beli tayar branded2 macam schwalbe

Fuyoh!
1 11 km! Bravo!
Until today I still haven't able to do the century km yet.

It was all purely slow grinding. Plus the fact that klang-kl is flat helps. If u throw in some hills in between I think I will just take grab to go home.

I see ppl in Strava can do 100km in 3 hours.

Yesterday I start ride 9am, reach home 6pm. Abit pek chek also, but for my cat I just grind away.

Next time i'll just throw the bicycle in car and drive to kl. Or take KTM if I ride a foldie.
