Looking for sifu advise for tyre and inner-tube replacement due to benjol on my Dahon 20" foldie. Currently I think is  406 20" x 1.35 tyre.

1) Can I replace with 406 20"  1.5 or 1.75 tyres ? Will it fit into existing rim ?

2) If I get 1.5, for the inner tube should I get 20x1.25-1.5 or 20x1.5-1.75 ? What is the impact, pros and cons ?

Thanks

1. can coz still 406 wheelset
2. both can. not much impact. if u use larger than 1.5, need to be careful when installing it. otherwise ur tube will stuck between rim and tyre and can pancit

Which folding bike would you recommend as an entry level 20" bike? Looking at something for casual riding and bang-for-buck.

What would you recommend that is bang for buck then? Something that can be upgraded to a certain extent in the future.

If you buy a cheap foldie then don't think for part upgrades. It just is not worth it.

Sell off or dump the cheapo and buy a full-fledged premium foldie when it comes the time to upgrade.

Hello everyone. I just wanna ask something since dcs* not replying. I wanna ask where can i get the latest Pikes?

I've check the net but it doesn't seem like any shop carries it. (maybe i didn't search hard enough). It seems like there's changes with bicycle shops eg. this shops used to sell Dahons but stop being a distributor, that shop now not selling 3sixty anymore etc etc

its a little confusing who's selling what brands nowadays.

Do these brands (3Sixty, Pikes, Dahons)only available online (Shopee,Carusell etc)?

basically pikes or 360, they both are similar. not much difference but then you'll see more pikes on the road instead.

not sure on the supported weight for pikes, but the B could support max 110kg.

nowadays the B is running out of stocks from authorized seller. thus, those you see with 11k are from the bloody scalpers.

Does folding bike actually go faster? Is it good for exercise or commuting?

If I have a budget of about RM3K, which are the best folding bicycles right now. Preferably wheel a bit bigger and can handle slight off road and on road?
