wow 80KM ride..but do you think for foldie we will suffer? those on roadbike or mountain bike will be fast and let us behind

Actually we use the same effort as all the other type of bikes. Difference is road bikes are faster, in fact they take more effort to push as their gears at the rear are even smaller than folding bikes, presuming if you use the same crank lah! Folding bikes uses 52 cogs in front, similar to road bikes but road bikes has an option to even engage lower gear (easier pedalling) as they have an option to shift down to 39 cogs.

As for mountain bikes they are multi geared because they need easier pedalling force as they need to cycle over rough terrain (presuming if they use it off road lah) but if used on tarred road, the speed are slower but they also have more options on gearing as most comes with at least 27 gears with some even 33 gears but on tarred road, the usual are 44 cogs in front with 11 cogs at the rear (the highest gear, means the heaviest).  Disadvantage is, when we downhill we cannot pedal anymore as the highest gear is not enough so even even we pedal it's like free gear. Unlike road bikes where the front is 52 cogs with 11 cogs rear, we can still pedal when downhill to take advantage of the force to sling us uphill after downhilling. This is off course on tarred roads.

Just count and see. If the front is 52 cogs and rear is 11 the ratio is 4.7, meaning one turn of the crank will turn the rear wheels 4.7 times and if at lowest gear 52 cogs front and 32 cogs rear means a ratio of 1.6 only. It means one turn of the crank only turns 1.6X the wheels at the back. Factor in the circumference of the wheels between the 20 inch folding bikes and 26 inch for mountain bikes or 27 inch for road bikes.

Another advantage of smaller wheel is it is easier to pedal uphill compared to larger wheels. One word says all, it all depends on the cyclist's stamina and power.

I'm from Old Klang Road. it would be fun if we all can ride together

u can....

sapu the anti monkey butt cream ....   or chamois cream....

try different saddle with groove or lobang wan..... 

try a nose-less saddle.... which is most likely not available in msia...
need to import...

i hate the saddle nose ... not a racer so don't need it..

cyclist who use the drop bars in crouching position...
the perineum is resting on the nose, tht's y they need it..

cyclist sitting upright don't need the nose....

Visited few bike shops today, mentioned on my issue, finally get to know the root cause. If you wear cycling pant, DON'T WEAR UNDERWEAR. It will create more friction on the "contact point". Only as newbie as me don't know this 

Manage to clock 15km with normal pants to buy some stuffs and "ta bao", don't have this issue at all. Further prove the above statement. But not sure the numb issue is it from the same root cause ?

some bike shop/business ppl, should start loan these bike seats to prospect customers for like 2-3 days
for them to try n test out... this should be the way... 

T

Well if they think about it, how much a butt can hurt the saddle?? pay full amount for loan under agreement if rosak consider sold.
Bike can't do cos risk of wear n tear is higher than the saddle...

It will not works. Like I loaning out my Suunto Ambit those customers want to try but do not want to pay for it, got scratches then cannot sell as new.
With Malaysian consumer attitude we do not gentlemen enough to pay for what we have tried like Mat Salleh.

To be honest, we as supplier we know we do not trust customers more than customers trust us.
For about 10 years I have observed those try/demo products from competitor brands, friends or outsiders like the latest setup at Carrerfour Mid Valley everything tear up by giving convenient for customer to try but they just never buy. Duit belum untung, duit sudah rugi banyak.

But there is one high end/luxury industry, for demo try out it still works. Like HiFi high end setup, we delivered, setup, after a month customer happy then wrote a cheque to pay for it. Those expensive bike also can loan up to customer test ride for a week or two then customers usually will pay for it.

Have you tried riding your friends MU or Speed? If you haven't ride it, you can't really compare. Everyone can reach the destination given time and also the fitness of each rider or the type of bike. Even my grandfather used to ride from Pulau Betong to Bayan Lepas frequently on a single speed monster in the yesteryears. It's a matter of your determination but mostly, I have to admit it the pride of owning a branded bike also. It's part of making us enjoying the bike.
