can you maximise your riding to the smallest cog on the cassette all the time?

if yes, then you can consider switching to a bigger chainring

if not then dont waste money.

Chainrings can go up to 60T as well. but do remember that when you change to a bigger chainring, most probably you have to change your chains as well because the stock one would be to short for it.

ini idolaku. ok i also order one 451 wheel to play with

Yeah. Cheaper than the price I bought 2 months back, I paid rm105 a tyre that time and that also so called on sale. Jilaka punya seller.

I am not sure if there is a helmet law for cycling but while engaging in a physical activity out in public, why expose yourself to risks when you can minimise it? Wear a helmet is to protect yourself from severe injury and not due to compel by law.

Although coming from motorcycling point of view I think bicycle helmet is too exposed and hardly protects, at least something is better than nothing.

Pakai saja la

Either use a dual head pump like the one from decathlon, or buy an adapter so you can use petrol station pump.

Adapter head only cost less than a ringgit on shopee, but factor in shipping cost sudah mahal. Bicycle shop should sell for about rm5.

Depending on your psi requirement, only Petronas pump could exert up to 100psi, the rest only 60-70+ thereabout.

I always hear ppl say Brooks saddle, but I totally have no experience with it.

Batu Gajah, Perak

Mini ones don't deliver much air volume. So it takes many pumps to push in sufficient air. Moreover when you start to reach higher back pressure time, susah to push. I have one from decathlon, rated for 110psi, but when pump until 60-70psi, sudah tak boleh masuk.

eventually can always use petrol station air pump. Especially Schrader valve. If presta valve, then standby a converter head lor.

The mini pump keep for emergency purpose in case of pancit. So emergency time suffer abit no issue la. Alternatively (for emergency situation) use co2 kit. Get you up and running in no time, so you can go top it off at petrol station pump.

For use at home just get a good floor pump, kasi pump before go out.

agreed, hence the thing i said above.

keep a good floor pump at home, mini pump/co2 only for pancit purpose and immediately go top-it off at the nearest station pump.

just an extra note, if your tyre requires an excess of 70psi, go to Petronas, their pump usually can pump up to 100 psi. other stations usually maxed out at 55-70psi only. but not many foldie tyres would need that much of pressure lah.

eh how come can affect the core one? i used mine a few times no kacau also. how does your adapter looks like?

mine is this :

how many times can pump, and up to how much psi?

if that day ride sibeh suey, up to 3 times pancit, can support?

i know of 1 guy in my local group, dunno why so suey, everytime see him go out riding sure kena 1 pancit one.

53 seems abit low for a 16-incher, but it would be godsent if you climb alot

otherwise i see ppl banyak main 56-59

Got the shifters and brakes swapped today.

What kind do you want and what's your budget?

Do you want foldable / detachable or you're ok with fixed pedal?

Do you want standard size or platform sized?

Must it be lightweight or you're ok with whatever weight?

Small and light can get something like this



It also has a detachable option



Price varies depending on platform and seller though, and sometimes the large difference in price made me suspect there could be imitations. I have one that is similar but different brand. Useable, but if not because of weight concern, I would prefer the sure-footed feel of large platform pedals like these

20" (406) : 42T + [11-28T] for what purpose bro? it seems too low for flat road riding.

why not 52 or 53 crank, but 11-34 cassette? that should give a similar ratio for climbing but a much better ratio for flat road compare to 42

should be a 10-speed chain

KMC is the go-to brand but plenty of fakes, sometimes bicycle shops themselves dunno are fake KMCs because they just take whatever supplier gives them.

if you buy from the shop and install there immediately, installation is free lah (more like the price already included installation labour in profit margin)

how much? i dunno - just go shopee/lazada survey to get a rough estimate lor

why must hujan? can rendam in a pail of water for 1 hour or not?

**edit**

just realised, yeah to ensure it conform to butt-shape... ok sit on it after rendam for a few minutes, rinse and repeat. boleh tak?

My wife's foldie is a 1st gen Fit from 2012

afaik fit is 406 wheel, i think they had switch to 451 wheel in recent years. but still i have heard if different stories, so depending on the seller's stock i guess? wheels are interchangable anyway, i just swapped to a 451 on my wife's fit recently.

the TT has a slightly rounded main tube compared to hexagonal on the fit.

The TT doesnt come with a detachable RD hanger like Fit though, not sure if it is good thing or not.

Both are same 18 speed running on Decaf branded RD & FD (2x9 setup, but my first gen is 2x8 setup, though in the past Fit uses Altus on both RD & FD. not sure about TT)

Current Fit frame somehow looks slightly nicer than the old Fit.

If you're deliberating between Fit or TT, i would cast my vote on Fit.

but if you dont mind used, i have a friend letting go of his good condition Tern C8 for only RM1.9k, bought August last year. he is jumping ship to FnHon.
