QUOTE(KenC @ May 7 2018, 12:33 AM) 26' is 26ft, I think you meant 26" (26in). yes ...correct ..26in ....26" is still a big mofo… If you are honest about taman ride only Just buy from LBS la… got lifetime free service… 400 ringgit bike when cost in the unforeseen running around custom and other pling-plang, most most save 20 ringgit at the end…  LBS meaning ? thanks .... |

QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ May 7 2018, 01:57 PM) Just to inform you that if you are thinking about a 26" rims, you might not get the 26" tyres readily available at your LBS. LBS mostly selling 20inch rim? pic credit to baikbike For example; if you bought a Tern Eclipse X22 that comes with Schwalbe Kojak tyres (35-559), there's a high chance it's not in stock. So your alternative is to buy from Taobao.  QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ May 7 2018, 01:58 PM) Sorry, I don't quote understand what you mean by "sport rim". as attached photo ...not sure its call sport rim or not ...haha...Can share a picture of what this sport rim looks like?  thanks ... Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(KenC @ May 8 2018, 11:08 AM) Never ride alloy wheels. Cant comment much. But imho, hard to sell off later. no sale after that ...QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ May 8 2018, 12:44 PM) Yup, 20" but there are some 18" too. why no 24 or 26?QUOTE(KenC @ May 8 2018, 12:57 PM) 2 types of 20" wheels. 406 and 451. Pick 406 if you don't know what you are doing. 406 VS 451 ..what different ?thanks .... |

QUOTE(Justin.Loong @ May 8 2018, 05:22 PM) I'm not sure but I think it's easier to maintain a standard size tyre as compared to keeping many many sizes. there will be problem if bought that size not common in malaysia...but normal mountain bike also have 24 and 26 inch rim should be able fix in folding bike right... thanks ... |
