Check out Cateye which sells them in sets. It's very much cheaper if bought together. But there are cheaper lights compared to Cateye though. Any decent bike shop should have it.

Thanks. I bought Cateye HL-EL135 which cost RM63 and Cateye TL LD-135 tat cost RM40. Unfortunately they doesn't sell combo package.

Why would u want a kenda. It is not even kenda kwest. According to the shop, he ask me change fast fast cause this is the lowest end tyre. Just curious.

When installing bike grip, is it both side the same placement or right side a bit different.

Skinny tires will be faster..  only thing is to make sure the air pressure in pumped in very high to support the weight of the rider.  If you are about 60 to 70 kg, then probably pump in about 80 psi or more.

I would prefer fatter tires to protect the wheels.  I cannot always avoid pot holes and if I accidently hit a pot hole and the air pressure is not high enough, the wheels will be damaged due to the skinny tires which will not be able to absorb the impact of hitting the sharp edge.  If the rims are bent, it won't be easy to fix.

What is your recommended tyre size then? 1.5? I just check my tyre actually 1.75!

I wonder how much a stock Kenda 20x1.75 cost? Then perhaps I might change either to Durano, racer or kojak. Still undecided. But definitely smaller. 1.5 will do.

I have the standard schwalbe Kojaks which came with the bike. its 20 x 1.35 and its very fast and light.
But I don't how much the tires cost.  Perhaps about RM60 to 80.

I also like the Maxxis dth, which is about rm80 each. but this is 20 x 1.95,  very fat.

the Schwalbe Big apples are 20 x 2.00, even fatter...

which means heavier and slower compared to Kojaks...

Btw, what is the recommended psi for 20x1.75? I am 75kg

There was a recent posting on the correct seat height. Usually the legs are slightly bent when the pedal is at the lowest position, just a sight bend. As for handlebar on folding bikes, it's to your liking, off course it must be comfortable. Some like to hunch a little , some a bit upright.  icon_rolleyes.gif

Thanks a lot bro

Hey thank a lot. It's indeed Kenda K909A. I am not sure how to define nice o not as this is my very first time riding bicycle for quite a few years ago. Need to buy other tyre like Kojak or Marathon etc to compare then only know. tongue.gif

Was checking this Raleigh Ugo from Sin Mee bike shop in Subang Jaya.  Its about RM900++.

Looked just the same, now I wonder why it has to cost more than RM200 extra.

Am sure u can ask more discount. The rrp is RM980. Normally they give 10-15% discount or more if u know the shop owner. brows.gif
