I see there are a few of us here in this thread riding at putrajaya. Botak wai seems to be another. Maybe we can organize n ride together? Or if u already have a group or a bunch of friends who are also keen to ride maybe u can get them to come too? Or, i do not mind joining in too sometimes. 👍🏻

got 2 solution here
- find a good mechanics with proper tools to align back ur rd
- buy new rd, not that pricey lah for sora rd

where do you ride in putrajaya?
I wanna try to ride there one day also but I am not very familiar with the roads there.

I have been riding at night so far on weekdays. The paths beside the main road leading to the prime minister's office area. I am not very familiar with other paths either

I had also tried riding at the botanical garden area during the weekends. Some unsealed i meant gravel road there. Will dirty your bike though

why not get from lazada/shopee?

the online price is already steep, can't imagine getting from brick and mortar shop.

what parts do you need?

i wouldn't recommend ppl to park at mcd parking. it's meant for mcd customer for dine-in and takeway. can park kat open space tepi mcd.

parking at masjid besi definitely better.

or else can park at anjung floria, now they have setup a pit stop which include route map and some bike tools. newbie can follow the marking on floor.

newbie don't know then they will just occupy the parking je…haha.

plenty of parking space la…putrajaya impossible unable to get a parking space…

from masjid besi, in front of dorset hotel, food truck area, millennium monument, tepi mcd, dataran putra round about, tepi pmo, etc.

some prefer parking kat seri gemilang bridge area so that they can go either way.

for sure the more u cycle at putrajaya, the more parking area u will discover. by that time u will have your own preferred exact parking lot laugh.gif

while i always park at under bridge to avoid sunlight and rain…haha.

Guys, you know front block bag, the one small block like that..if I out. Hard shell case there. Will I have to remove and put it back all the time when I fold my bicycle? If there's a bag that I could just leave it there and don't need to remove everytime I keep my bicycle, would be great.

Just curious on some rough observation on the frame where they are mostly the same but with diff brand. ie TRS Topaz, Crossmac Haagen 901, Camp Ecosmo, Java Zelo. Or TRS Croze Pro and Pacific Noris 2.8.

They all have very similar frame but diff specs. Are they all same company just stick with diff logo and color? confused.gif confused.gif

imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

they could've been based on the same design but made by diifererent factories, and probably with different metal compositions as well.

Specs can always be changed on a whim since those are bolt-on stuffs.

Not sure if anyone go to the extend on finding the metal compositions of each frame made by each factory or normally people just go by "ini frame ringan" or "frame model ni famous" then made their selection?

I am looking for foldie and bumped into these similarities between models. Like tak kisah lah which model if the specs are the same, or there's more things to look into besides the esthetics?

The bicycle shops that i bought my Tern from. I chit chatted with the owner. They do sell foldies ranging from well, the affordable ones from less than RM1K to the of course RM 5K++ Tern and Dahon.

They told me that TRZ is quite a good buy, but only on the price range RM2K above. Otherwise, the rest just gives way too many problems and it's hard to deal with their suppliers and customers both.

I can understand from their POV, cause they also want less after sales issues with the products they sell. So if a brand is not reliable, of course they will tell you straight on unless your budget really cannot fit lo.

I think this is normal as cyclists drive from everywhere to go to various cycling venues such as:
Sempah
Perez / Tekala
Frasers
Cyberjaya / Putrajaya
Saujana Putra
etc...etc... sweat.gif
