Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

If speed is what u want, u can't go wrong with the Tyrell

Actually for a 3k budget, I think you shouldn't be fixated on a few brands. Try put tyrell, birdy, if reach , and Alex Moulton. There may be more but I'm only aware of the seat that price point.

Tyrell , Moulton at MBS
Birdy, if reach at ewalker.

big wheel rotate less but still you roll on the tyre surface , simi logic
Surface area depends on the thickness.

Just talking rubbish. But let's say the larger wheels tyre is 2000mm. Smaller wheel tyre is 1500mm...

For every 2000mm distance. The smaller wheel turn 1.3 times. Means more chance MA. Hahahaha.

But if u take into consideration the same distance covered by both big and small wheel, it will still be the same. Unless u talking about wearing of the tyre, then I think bigger wheels wearing off slower since rpm is lesser than a small wheel.

Eclipse p20? There will be concerns over the paired spokes.Not sure if those are enough to support his weight, especially when going over potholes.

X series is always ranked higher than p series in their hierarchy.

Thanks actually I'm more concerned about tyrell wheel stuck in the potholes and me flying than tern not supporting my weight. But if really unforeseen circumstances, then just pray hard when it happen.

Ya but my budget doesn't allows me to think the x series, if so actually I no need to think so hard and just get tyrell fsx hehe.

the only thing u have to worry is grating over drains, potholes might cause a breakage of the spoke.

if u have intend for a 20 speed, then go for the FSX, FX is 10 speed. FSX has a lighter frame, true carbon fork, better wheelset and components. But the FSX is about 4.1k, FX is 2.5k

 

[LesterQ]

Actually judging from your post. You already made up your mind on the tyrell..

If your budget can afford a Tyrell, then it makes no sense to consider any series from Tern.

Unless you want to try IF Reach/Birdy... etc.

He disregarded my post on other bikes from that price range.
That's why I commented that he is already decided.

Sorry actually I did consider Moulton as well but the model I quite like cost 4k plus so I have filter it out. I just don't like birds as my personal preference hehe.

Ya I guess I will go with tyrell. Thanks everyone!

Which mullton bike were you looking at?

TSR or AM series?

Actually, do you really need a folding bike? You can always get a mini velo if all you want is small wheels.

faster and feels more stable at high speeds. that's what i and my friends who rides 406 wheels feel.

I think 406 and 451 is a faction in difference.

I had 406 and 451...

Feels very much the same...

You have the pacific reach bike? I am interested to get it... but need to read up first and test ride...

BTW, Tyrell foldie is 406 (FX, FSX) but tyrell mini velo (CX, CSI, PK1) is 451.
