Ask a Bicycle Question - Part 5

gatecrash the bike rally again.

super boring, i only managed to catch a small train to raffles marina midway through tuas, then caught another train to NTU.

after that, no more train, solo on my own, damn boring, last year got so many trains but this year so rare.

It just happen that I had part of my route intersect with the bike rally route between Yishun Dam and Punggol End. Like that not considered gate crashing right?

Hi guys i have a 2 question i hope

you guys can help me decided whether its worth the purchase since the cannondale seller aeroplane me so i decided to look for new seller i saw a moongoose 29er selling at $480 frame size S

the seller give me this website as specification

2012 Mongoose Meteore Comp 29'r Bike - Reviews, Comparisons, Specs - Mountain Bikes - Vital MTB


1) is it worth buying the bike at tis price

2) is the bicycle suitable for me cause my height is 155 cm only

Err, I think you need an XS or even an xxs but I don't think mtb comes in xxs. You may want to consider 27.5 given your height, easier to manage.

Guys..got a dahon foldie from my sis but only.come with single.gear. how much am.i expecting if i were to change to multigear setup?

Which model is it? Not sure if the frame allows for Rear D to be installed.

my rear wheel when i spin the wheel got this odd clicking sound at repeated interval
iszit bearing cui liao? T_T

Maybe hub, maybe bearing

Chromoly is stiffer. Usually higher end bikes requires stiffer frames so that they can go fast. Its actually more exp than aluminium also. And a lot of vintage bikes use chromoly also to give it a thinner tube diameter to look sexy.

Your side there got chromoly mini velos to see see?

I google and surfaced this brand soma with chromoly MVs.

Can have speed but u need to change your shifter, get a rear d, a new chain, housing for the wires, cassette, and add freehub for the rear wheels or change out the rear wheels.
