Am not an expert but what i did in your case (similar issues)

#1 Get fully covered bike gloves (not fingerless)
#2 Play with height of seat
#3 Downhill raise your butt off seat so would be less sore
#4 Check your sitting bone length vs saddle length (too narrow/wide?)

Thanks for the advice. I don't understand point 4.

What is you riding position? And which Tern model are you riding?

Anyway, most of us have Ergon grips installed. I have Ergon GP5 installed on my Tern, and Ergon GP3 on my Brompton.

It's just a entry level tern C7 which i'm still quite happy with atm.

I don't really understand your question on riding position but I'll try answering to the best of my noobish ability

Seated and leaning forward, handlebar usually adjusted to the lowest height. Height of saddle is almost level with the handlebar height. Hope I gave a better idea

I took a look at Ergon grips. They are quite premium items. Any idea where to get them at cheaper price?

Extremely upset. Picked up my Bike24 package at the post office and found it was tampered and torn... Highlighted to the Singpost staff, but they said "It came like that." Peeped and it looked like the 105 cassette box was still there, and since my dad and sis were in a hurry waiting for me, so I decided to head out.

Came back home, and found - empty cassette box, everything else missing except the bicycle bell. Royally peeved. Missing: One 11 speed Wipperman Connex chain, One 5800 105 cassette, 4 pairs of disc brake pads, blanking bolts for V-brake bosses... Peeved!

What I have? Bell. Ring-ling-ling.

Writing to Bike24 now to launch an investigation...

Did you sign clean or you indicate remarks that signs of tampering is present?

There are some regulations that protect postal services. If it is express service then you have better recourse but there may be limits on liabilities.

As you know, it's Singpost, do take photos of condition. Request their staff acknowledged item was received like that. Lastly open and inspect in their presence.

At this juncture, consider lodging police report as it may be pilferage. Goods handlers sometimes are the crooked ones. I know of 1 case in Air Cargo, caught red handed on camera. Still turn up for work like innocent man siah.

I got mine Edge 200 with SRAM Holder for about S$135 including shipping last year..Paid RMB$569 for it, back then exchange rate was about 1:5.

Seems cheaper now with device at RMB$389, add SRAM Holder for RMB$90..

First, I would never have accepted the package in such a condition without making sure that SingPost acknowledges the damage at the post office.

Second, take pictures!

I received a Bike24 package like that. Terribly torn up. I was very surprised and I used to work for UPS! So, I took pictures, documented everything and complained to Bike24. Luckily, nothing was missing but I felt that they should know what was happening.

Hope you get something back.
