Thanks for showing and clarifying. Sorry for my mistake. It is a pedal.

No worries. I really didn't have a clue as to what you were asking.

Hi, newbie here.
Regretted buying an aleoca bicycle which is so hard to pedal and am looking for something better.
Does anyone have any suggestion? For cycling (30-50km?) and budget under $500.

Is this a good buy? http://bicycles.sg/shop/kawasaki-road-bicycle/

Much thanks!

What is it about your Aleoca that you find so hard to pedal?
Is its saddle height adjusted to a level such that your knee is 30º when your feet is at the bottom of your pedal stroke?

hmmm interesting, i used the "heel strike" method and usually reach almost 180 for efficient cycling.

my seat is sloping thou, so i adjust my seating height by shifting around the saddle

I have aleoca hybrid bike. Sadly recently bike puncture and realise it's a 28inch inner tube. Aleoca is arranging for me to get it from Tampines Giant. Hopefully, no big issue but I was surprise I can't find this size inner tube.

Coming back...I find aleoca bike ok. Not light but do the job. And hopefully, no one target to steal...

28in tubes..

They are the same as 700c or 29er, which means it should be commonly available.
