Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

[Gixxerfied]

I was looking at CRC website, they don't sell Scoop saddles. So Evans is the way to go.

Ya, CRC dont have...

Even if have, their FOC shipping if hit quota also not impressive..

 

[Gixxerfied]

Will wait for responses.

I was hoping to join macpork's order, as he lives near me.

I think macpork ordered with jervislim & lemongonggong??

The stock bb weighed a ton, this crankset lighter and so far can use the stock chain without adding links. 55T still can manage..faster also haha. For 44usd, worth it..

But my chain dropping quite frequently just when changing to highest gear leh. Think tomorrow ask him help tune the derailleur again.

Mine 61t also drop frequently especially on the smallest gear I took a much bigger gear to maintain the chainline in between the middle cogs so less chance of dropping out

Meant a much bigger front gear so that I don't use the extremes end of the cassette, last time on 53t mine mini velo I use only the smallest 4 cog on my cassette every time use the smallest cog on cassette mine chain drops out lol

I see. Wa I think 61t abit too big for me though. Engine not so much horsepower. Haha

 

[rarenick]

For foldie, is it ok to use 1.35" tyre in front and 1.1" at rear?

20 inch wheelset.
Mainly pavement and pcn, 10% road.
Intermediate skill level.
Objective is speed and weight but 1.1" could be too thin for front.

if speed is your objective then you should be using thinner tyres.
I used to have schwalbe durano which are 1.1, but I find them having too much resistance even at 115 psi, then I have changed to schwalbe One on 120 psi.. you can feel the difference.

I used to use Panaracer Minits Lite, rolling at 120 psi with 7/8 inch width.

Now change back to Schwalbe Durano. I don't mind losing a little bit of speed to trade off for more comfort.

I calculated, the gearing is slightly smaller than a road bike. so no issue for me
