QUOTE(Robyn @ Aug 17 2013, 03:16 PM) Thanks for ur guidance :-). Guys, if wanted to upgrade the cassette for more speed but the lowest gear now is 11T.. I using mountain bike 8 speed and if upgrade to road bike 8 speed cassette got any difference ?? Wat is the best way to upgrade the bike speed ?? 20 inch wheels, right? If the rear gear is 11T, its enough, and if the front crank has 53 or 55T, that would be among road bikes. But your wheels need to be the fast type as well, meaning your tyres should be the lightweight, slick, skinny type, if not, you will find it an effort to maintain a good speed on level roads.

Yes is 20inch wheel, anyone know wat is the fronk crank size for Java fit ? It doesn't state in the crank.. Btw, any good recommendation for front crank 53 ? Good and cheap ada ?

Good and cheap ada ?  Dude, before you go ape over upgrading your bicycle, try and get used to its settings. Be "Fit" enough to ride your Java Fit and not the other way round.. You can have a 60T crank, enough gears to climb coconut tree.. Its all useless if you are outclassed by the bike.. To enjoy the bike, get in the best shape, do some training.. Go the distance..

Have a ride with group of foldie that came to Setia Alam for joining Half Marathon New Balance route. 21km in total. Damn, lots of them riding poisonous bike! There is two Mouton to start with. Pauline Lee who are the organizer with her touring Moulton which she get it from Melbourne. She even have a Brompton. Then there is a guy from Kota Kemuning also with his shiny chrome Moulton!
Then there is a few Bike Friday. The highlight is a custom made Wheelsport foldie. The rider are actually a Taiwanese couple and the guy is the designer for Wheelsport! Some say he own Wheelsport too.
Another white bike looks like Airnimal foldie. There is also Vanesnesa and Brian from Vans Urban riding a Tern P9 and Link C7.
What an event! Just when I thought it is just a normal foldie event and turned up to be such a glamorous folding bike. There I am with my humble Raleigh Ugo. Very malu lah. Hahaha
