saw this on FB, should be a fake B? based on the straight stem

the ridea parts should be able to buy from taobao...

Anyone have try folder bike sales at aeon jusco? Herd is from Japan

Anyone could share how the saddle setting? I still feel uncomfortable on mine. It's flat setting or slightly downslope better?

It depends on where you place your 'ding dong' when you ride. Hahaha , no larr! just joking.

It is supposed to be level. I usually level it with a bubble gauge, you know those used by construction fellas. I lay it over the saddle and then adjust till it levels. But many can just go by the eye guess-timation. But beware, do it when the bike is upright and not on it's kick stand.

Even after this, try out and if the saddle feels like poking you, you need to lower the front a bit and if it is vice versa and you feel like sliding down, you need to get the rear lower. Some saddles are designed with a higher rear so that your rear end pushes or rather leans on it for support so that you can pedal stronger.

Some time, extremely low handlebar ( over 3 inches below handlebar) will lead to discomfort in the rear end...Sure must tilt saddle nose down.

My saddle is level cos old ppl must sit up with handlebar above saddle

Thanks for sharing, Will try for certain distance as I push all down for front now.

Btw, I heard the 'clark clark' sound from my front, any idea on the issue?

You must be ultra fit, can maintain TT bike aero position all the way ! Damn! You must take part in Olympic races!

I just got a Java Decaf Folding Bike.

Since everything is stock, i might as well abuse the parts before changing.

Now, im planning to change the following in the future:

-rims
-chain
-seatpost / saddle

Any idea on the brands that is really sturdy on these parts? I live in the city center and what bike shops do you recommend?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all, is XDS K3 a good folding bike? For casual ride with kids and occasion ride at the park.

If you got a 7 speed, don't bother to change rims and chain unless you change the whole set to 8sp and above. meaning rim, cassette, chain, derailluer, shifters.
Saddle and seatpost, get a decent one like sella will do. choose those relaxed position.

Lol...I just try to make my ass can last for distance ride for me to train up

The XDS K3 looks good. They do build solid frames but because of human's chase for branding, they are not popular compared to the Terns or Dahons. The XDS K3 is more than enough for the job that you described. Like I said, if branding is not an issue, or the size of the fold isn't, it is more than enough.

BUT !

If you, one day will to join a biking group, riding here and there weekly, that's where the problem comes in. This is a big IF lah! Peer pressure will make you want to change bikes, not the performance of the bike or the quality but usually it is the peer pressure!

Anyway, I keep heard the 'clark clark'- sound, any idea on which part faulty?
