Ah i didn't realize that..

just sharing for ppl who are looking for folding bike

Are there any noticeable differences between 14" and 20" tires? I know that weight-wise, 20" would be heavier (??) but other than that?

yes. big difference.

big difference? In that case which one would be better, 14" or 20"? I am looking for lightweight, ride comfort

get 16" 349 or 20" 406

Feeling a bit overwhelmed reading this thread, maybe because this thread is meant for serious folding bikers.

But if you all could help me giving some pointers, as I intend to get a simple folding bike for commute, one that is meant for just that.
A simple, no-plans-to-upgrade set-ups, cheap, but one that provides at least some level of comfort/safety.

I am looking at this two items:

1-
https://shopee.com.my/READY-STOCK-%F0%9F%94...33-91db8364ee13

2-
https://shopee.com.my/%F0%9F%94%A5Ready-Sto...4f-3b8c897f56e7


And if boleh, elaborate a bit why so. This would help me so much in deciding which one to get.
This may be a tough ask, but hopefully you all can help me out.

at that price better just get any bike without folding.

But folding is sort of a must, as it makes it easier to carry/store the bike.. any thoughts between the two products?

then go ahead and buy the one u prefer since you have already set the budget.

nothing to comment. if u could get the hands on to test the folding mechanism then you know why here never discuss such price range folding bike.

don't misunderstand, we don't look down on such bike, just that folding mechanism is a safety concern part and we do not risk our life to save money on that.

that's the reason why i said with that budget better go for non-folding bike.

i had one, the whole bike is unstable cause it's not rigid enough.
the seat also can't hold its position well.

you will felt it difficult to ride smoothly on this bike. maybe just for my case.

My thanks for the reply. I may have to re-consider my options then, as it seems that safety factor may be an issue with the items I provided the link for.

For entry level folding bikes, an affordable one, what what bikes would you suggest?


The one you had is which one? Same model or something of a similar price range? The pointers you have provided made me second guess myself as well. So I am looking at a better (yet affordable) product. Any product you would want to suggest?


by the way, any thoughts on Decathlon folding bikes?

hi, the one i bought is item 1 in your list.

Major thanks for your reply. If I may ask, what would be your recommendation, for an entry-level bike, one that is reliable, but won't burn a hole in my pocket. I am not referring to my listing, but one that you may want to recommend. Thanks!

this is pretty solid for a decent beginner folding bike

just make sure the folding mechanism is not spoiled n correctly adjusted

of u prefer a smaller bike, this is okay too in my opinion

Thanks so very much for the suggestion!

Out of curiosity.... Is Decathlon folding bikes any good?

Hi sifus....am wondering if anyone can recommend a bicycle shop or wherever that I can change the tube in the tyre? Have 1 Java Fit and 1 Oyama bike (not sure what models they are), seems the tyre size is about 18~20 inches. Bought them from Pedalspot many years ago, called them up but they said they don't stock up for tyres this size anymore. Location in KL. Thanks!

decathlon offer such service even u not buying their bike.

else u can buy from lazada/shopee and bring to any bike shop to change.

if u got joined any bike group u can always ask nearby member for help, pay them je.
