Usually, there isn't any problems. If you go to the numerous cycling spots (Genting Sempah, Genting Peras, Putrajaya, etc..), you can see many vehicles with the rear bike carrier. nod.gif
So far there authorities are lenient and didn't give any summons. thumbup.gif

its doppelganger fx frame. got many siries of fx, different in cosmetic and groupset. its japan brand bike, but made in china. the factory already stop production bikes as the company concentrate on motorcycle and bicycle accessories. and for what i know, the price are going high as demand for the discontinued model. if ur lucky can get it cheap. but i heard last time sold 1 used bike factory stock setup for RM1,500.00

bydaway, its a good frame and really cheap (last time) and can get below 10kg weight when modified it (bike+mod) with a price of dahon dash! laugh.gif

My paddle on the right side kept coming loose. The other day I kept paddling and felt it coming loose. Lucky it didn’t fell out while I was cycling in the middle of the road. Now I can see there is damage to the thread inside the crank. This is not good. The Right paddle is screwed in clock-wise. Is this correct? Shouldn’t they make it anti-clockwise? So that the rotation of your paddling tighten it instead of loosening it.. if you Understand what I mean.

Saddles are subjective. What works for me might not work for you kind of thing. sweat.gif
So if possible, get your sit bones measured and find a saddle width that fits you at a shop.

You can also DIY at home.
Using cardboard.

Using your kid's Play Doh or something similar.

Then invest in a good saddle and cycling pants (with gel inserts if you choose).

Ouch..I need to send it back to Rodalink for servicing if that’s the case. The handle post also a bit loose d. Got minor play. Mileage around 90km only. Bought just before MCO. I never posted pictures of it here.. might as well.
