last time, i owned ka1606.
what i do, i change the rear hub from freewheel to freehub and change front crank 53/39.
its good setup. enough for mostly route, accept for flat road. feel not enough gearing

so

i change to 55/42 crankset.
a bit heavy, and good enough gear. problem occur is the rolling feel. still feel not enough rolling compare to 20" 406

after that i sold my trinx ka1606,
bought fnhon zephyr 16" frame. i bought 16" 349 wheelset and transfer some parts from my trinx ka1606. im using 53/39 and what i feel, the gearing are enough and feel like 55/42 on 16" 305.



so here an advice.
if u had 16" bike and got some clearance on the frame, go for 16" 349 wheelset.

the 16" 349 wheelset does have advantages on rolling and some enough gearing but also got some disadvantages. that is
1. not much choices on tyre.
the only cheapest tyre u can used is kojak 32mm height. got 25mm height, but that one is joseph kousac price if im not mistaken is around rm250+ for 1 piece

2. tubes are not easy to find like 305
349 tubes are hard to find. and yes u can used back 305 tubes, but need to stretch a bit.

3. compactness
the 349 wheelset are bigger than 305. if u want compact, then 349 are not a good choice
if u had money to upgrade and modified, go straight to 349 wheelset. need some modification on the brakes. other than that u good to go!
i had spend some amount of money to experiment the best gearing for 16". dont compare internal hub gearing, coz im not that expert event to service the gearhub. thats why i adopt the external gearing system.

oh ya,
do you know that brompton also used 48t crankset on 349 wheels?

i see…thanks for sharing.

my intention to get a glove is just to reduce vibration.

im using GS series. but even though im using good grips, the purpose of wearing glove are not only for absorb vibration but it also help u absorb sweat and also protect u if u got an accident.

unlike bujal
bujal is taiko and strong leg. kayuh also dont have sweat 

Anyone has experience with delivery of folding bike via Poslaju? I'm planning to sell my 16-inch folding bike (for size comparison, it's small enough to fit inside IKEA DIMPA bag), but since it's MCO now, I can't do COD. Can you guys share:
- How much it usually cost?
- How reliable is it? I'm worried the bike will get damaged in transit.
- How do I properly package the bike? Lots of bubble wrap? And where can I get these boxes and bubble wrap now during MCO?

I have a silly question about folding ebikes, that I can't find the answer anywhere. Are they not allowed by the government?

Tern and Brompton did not bring in any models, at all.

im no sifu,
but i try to answer ur question. ur question are too generic than didnt specify any price range. i know crossmac brand, but they got few model. it would be great if u can provide any picture.
Bujal.x is my sifooo

Thanks for the recommendation,
I already got 53t crankset and 9speed system (tiagra) upgraded previously last few year.

I thinking to upgrade the wheelset too, previously upgraded rear hub to novatec but maintain the standard wheel, not sure whether it can clear 349 wheel?

Since u have ka1606 before ，do u think 349 wheel will clear ka1606 frame?

Ya, actually the handle post don't have any issue.

yesterday zephyr lost it liver need to find another shifter
53t+11t cadence around 90rpm+ can get speed 30kmph. not that hamster lah

laju² nk ke mane bujal?hehhehee

tried it alreadt but i still cant get it right

if i say 42T will you have a try?

see, you think you feel more comfortable if you have 14T, means 11,12,13 are heavy for your comfortness.

you prefer to have 14T to 17T close ratio because the gear inches is around 65 to 80, that's most people comfort gear inches too on cruising.

in order to ride in the 11,12,13 close ratio range, you really need downsize chainring to 42T.

not sure if you could get 42T easily or not but most 42T is from 52T/42T dual chainrings.

i do have a 41T single chainring, because i can't get 42T so i bought this.
