nowadays a lot china brand conquer this price range in the market. The brand got a lot, almost every shop also got sell different brand that you never heard. This is why hard to recommend you before you visit your bike shop.

Only after you visit the shop and see what brand they offer then may be you ask in here better. Because some brand is very lap sap.

I did use this tool, but those cheap plastic ones which I broke 2 of them while trying to get the tyres back onto the rim I also did pump a bit air into the tube before attempting to put the tyre back in.

BTW, can pls give a link or where did you get this from?

The one I intro you can not broke one. Inside got steel. This is best tool so far for me compare to others type.

I buy online in lazada. Cost less than Rm10. Hihi.

For taman or offroad?

Yeah.. They make it so easy. But in reality, it is pain in the a** especially if first time.
I broke my tyre lever, scratch my rim in the early days..
But I think I get better now.
It also depends on the tyre and the rim also.
Some tyres is very soft, so easy and effortless even dont need too much force.
Some is very hard like those more old non foldable tyre, they need extra force.

Can get MTB.
But the spec not quite nice la.
But if want to use for leisure on tarmac then no problem..

I was changing those non foldable ones, which explains why it was so difficult to put it back on - lesson learnt. Since I broke those plastic levers, i used a few stainless steel spoons using the handle and managed to get the tyre back on, not after bending the spoons to 90 degrees and tearing the inner tube in the process

I've no issue changing tyres on MTB as opposed to RB. Me still using few ringgits tyre levers... It all depends on how much practice you get and how hard are the beads on the tyre.

problem come out. You use narrow rim with wide tyre or narrow tyre with wide rim ?

Hehe, I know the pain, the sweat and the stress.
MTB always give us hard lesson.
We always think it is easy until we actually doing it.

emm....am not too sure if the rim is narrow or wide. The original tyre is 2.25 and i tried changing to 1.5 road tyre. I actually managed to put on 1, but failed at the second.

LOL....

yeah man. really too many brands. just want to have a casual ride with my partner around the neighbourhood. don't need too canggih but at the same time want to get a decent one la at least hahaha

taman je, rilek cycling

yeah just want to ride around taman je, makan angin ahaha

OK. Like that more easy. Below RM1k if you see:

1. Polygon then buy else
2. XDS then buy else
3. Raleigh then buy else
3. Exitway (I not sure this brand still got or not) then buy else

come back discuss again.

this is some example..

this is almost impossible lol

why not impossible? So many already quit cycling and jump ship to running or marathon.

Bike shop closed one by one from last decade. From the peak time my area got 15++ bike shops until now left 2 or 3 only.
